Use a variety of contexts to teach the concept of sequencing. Begin with discrete listening tasks (e.g., numerical/alphabetical order) and progress to sequencing directions and narrative stories.

Step-by-step activities progress in complexity. Students learn:

• alphabetical order, syllable order, and word order in sentences
• sequencing by time and attribute
• vocabulary of sequencing (first, last, before, and after)
• cause and effect
• following four-step directions
• math word problems
• sequencing picture stories and oral stories
• listen and recall the sequence of recipes and narrative stories

Written in the proven format of the Spotlight series, these activities help students develop listening skills with:

• picture-supported lessons that shift to listening-only activities
• carefully controlled vocabulary
• a wide variety of curricular content as well as daily life experiences
• minimal demands for writing
• pretest/posttest
