Sequencing Short Stories Activities Reading Passages Sequence of Events Cards

Engage your students in sequencing short stories and reading passages with this self-checking sequence of events activity. These Sequence of Events 'Clip and Flip' Task Cards make sequencing stories and passages fun for even the most reluctant learners. With 36 self-correcting sequencing cards included, your students will have plenty of opportunities to practice this reading skill in a hands-on way.

These story sequencing cards are self-checking! First, students read the sentences on the card. Then, they clip numbered clothespins onto each sentence to order the events in the short story. When finished, students flip over the card to see if they put the reading passage in the correct order.

These story sequencing task cards are differentiated so students can work at their current level. The easiest level requires students to sequence four events in the story while the hardest level requires students to sequence six events in the story.

Included with these Sequence of Events 'Clip and Flip' Task Cards:

• Instructions for single-player and multiplayer use
• 36 'Clip and Flip' cards
  • 12 cards with four sentences to sequence (easy level)
  • 12 cards with five sentences to sequence (medium level)
  • 12 cards with six sentences to sequence (hard level)

The answers are included on the back on the cards.

The difficulty level of the vocabulary and sentence structure increases as more sentences are added to the cards, which allows you to challenge your students accordingly.
