Why get the bundle
- A bundle presents sequence in clip cards, flash cards, task cards and an assessment, so the idea of order grows.
The problem
Mix batter, then bake: which one comes first?
Kindergartners and first graders can do both steps but struggle to say which comes first. Sequence is the backbone of retelling and writing.
Both steps feel right
'Wash hands or eat lunch'. Children know both but have to think about which one comes first.
Thinking about the end result
Kids picture the finished cake and forget the batter. Working backward helps them see what has to happen first.
First, next, last words
Sequence words are abstract. Children need to use them with real steps.
Each card pairs two steps in an everyday routine, and the child picks the one that happens first, building the idea of order.
