The Story of Christmas - Sequencing Activity

Earlier today, Vito and I spent a delightful time creating our Nativity Sequencing Story to celebrate Advent. In the past few days, we have been reading various books on the Christmas story, and today, we worked on some extension activities to practice some skills that I will mention below.

Story Sequencing: Objectives

• Reading comprehension
• Learning how to retell a story
• Learning how to sequence a story or events
• Answering questions
• Articulation in conversation

Story Sequencing: CUT AND PASTE ACTIVITY

Kids love cut and paste activities!  They find it engaging, especially that it helps them practice their scissor skills.  This set is so simple to do. Cut out the pictures and order them on the mats provided.




You have the option to select the set that comes with definitions or the ones that only have pictures. The choice depends on your child's or student's ability to work with the material. A black and white version is also available for coloring purposes. Some children enjoy coloring the images, and it can also help save on ink!

There are 2 sets available here:

• 6 steps story sequence (for beginners)
• 12 steps story sequence (for advance learners)

Story Sequencing: READING STRIPS

This set is ideal for children who are just starting to read. The primary objective of this material is to enable the child to arrange the events in the story by reading the strips rather than focusing on the pictures. The child will read the story of Nativity and put the events in order. We used a pocket chart to arrange the sequence of the story, and you can also use ordinal numbers to help with the process.

Vito loves using these strips as he enjoys reading the sentences.

Story Sequencing: READING AND SEQUENCING CARDS

In the story pack, there's an additional option available: the "card" version of the strips. These cards can be an alternative for children who are not yet comfortable with reading. They are designed to be used when your child is not a confident reader. The images on the cards are larger than those on the reading strips, which helps to emphasize the child's visual perception rather than their reading skills.
