At the medium level, this sheet challenges students to use sequence vocabulary with greater precision. Part A presents nine fill-in-the-blank sentences exploring how words like 'first,' 'next,' 'then,' and 'finally' signal specific moments in a story. Part B is a matching activity where students pair signal words 'First,' 'Then,' 'Finally,' and 'Before' with descriptions such as 'Marks the beginning of a story' or 'Signals the end of events,' deepening their grasp of order language.
Style:
Sequencing Events
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. The word 'first' tells the reader an event is about to start.
2. 'Next' and 'then' both signal the middle of a sequence.
3. The word 'finally' tells us we have reached the end of the story.
4. In the sentence 'After lunch, we played outside,' the word 'after' is the signal word.
5. The beginning of a story introduces the characters and setting.
6. When retelling a story, use sequence words like 'first' and 'next.'
7. The part of a story where the problem gets solved is near the end.
8. The signal word 'before' tells us something happened earlier in time.
9. Every story has a beginning, a middle, and an ending.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1. Match each item to its correct answer.

Comes earlier in time
Then
