Post Sequence Worksheet: Ordering Steps for Sending a Letter!

How to use this worksheet

Start by looking at all four pictures together and asking your child to describe what is happening in each one, without worrying about order yet. Then walk through the real process of sending a letter step by step, talking about writing it, putting it in an envelope, adding a stamp, and mailing it. Ask your child to decide which picture shows what happens first and write '1' in that box, continuing with 2, 3, and 4 until every picture is numbered. Finish by having your child retell the whole story in order, pointing to each picture as they narrate the sequence aloud.
