Sequencing With Pete the Cat and the Old Lady Who Swallowed...

There are some children's books that are great to use when teaching about the sequence of a story. A few that I use are the "Old Lady" books by Lucille Colandro and Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes by Eric Litwin.

PETE THE CAT STORY SEQUENCING CRAFTIVITY

Notice how Pete's shoes show the sequence of the story!

STORY FLOW CHART
Another way we sequenced the story's events is through this student cut & paste work page:

THERE WAS AN OLD LADY WHO...

 swallowed some leaves

swallowed a bat

swallowed some snow

swallowed a rose

I hand out pictures from the story to my students before I read the book. They really have to be listening, so they will know when they have to add their picture to the story retelling anchor chart.

The picture pieces have Velcro on the back, so they are easy to stick on {and take off for next time}.

I have created a pack that includes sequencing pictures for all 12 'Old Lady' books by Lucille Colandro, an anchor chart, AND a book companion for EVERY story! 

The anchor chart and sequencing pictures have all been updated since the pictures above :) Find it {here}

I have created a great pack for color learning- find it {here}
