This easy worksheet walks second graders through a familiar trip to the library, using the visit as a way to practice ordering events. In Part A, students sort six steps like 'Walk into the library,' 'Find a book on the shelf,' and 'Return the books to the desk' into Happens Early or Happens Late. Part B's five fill-in-the-blanks pull in signal words such as 'first,' 'finally,' and 'after,' and Part C uses four true-or-false statements to confirm whether 'last' or 'then' belong at the start or middle of a story. Students leave with a stronger sense of how everyday routines map onto story order.
