Sequencing Events

English (Mridang) — daily routine passages (morning to night) and simple process stories help children order events correctly.

• How to tell what happens first, next, and last in a short passage.
• How to put jumbled events back into the correct order.
• Words that show order: first, next, then, after that, finally, last.

Verbal: Sequencing means putting events in the order they really happened.

Symbolic: First → Next → Then → Finally (order words guide the sequence).

Level 1 — Simple daily order

Wake up → get ready → go to school → come home → sleep.

Level 1 — Order words

First I brush my teeth, then I have breakfast, finally I go to school.

Level 2 — Ordering a short process

Plant a seed → water it → it sprouts → it grows into a plant.

Level 2 — Life cycle order

Egg → caterpillar → cocoon (pupa) → butterfly.

Order the events: A) Mix the batter B) The cake is baked C) Eat the cake.

Step 1 — Think about what must happen first: mixing.
Step 2 — Then baking.
Step 3 — Finally eating.
Answer: A, B, C (Mix, Bake, Eat)

• What comes first: waking up or going to school?
• Order these: caterpillar, egg, butterfly, cocoon.
• What order word usually comes at the very end of a list of steps?

Stretch: Write four steps of your morning routine in the correct order using first, next, then, finally.

Revision tip: Pick any process (like making tea) and say its steps in the correct order out loud.
