I love story sequence because it’s one of those “use it anywhere” lessons. In math, understanding a sequence develops logical thinking and numerical sequence.
In language, sequencing is a great visual tool to help with comprehension and tasks that have multiple steps. You can use them for recipes, cleaning up a room, and even brushing teeth.
Additionally, the understanding of beginning/middle/end can help with CVC words (consonant-vowel-consonant) like “cat” or “dog.” A beginning, a middle, and an ending sound make up the word, just like a story!
Finally, this is the last lesson from the Montessori Oral Language sequence! If you’d like to learn more about the 11 lessons in the sequence, check out my blog post:

Next, your child moves on to exploration with letter and sound activities. To learn more, check out my next blog post:

Have you tried a sequence story activity with your child? What was the story about, and how did it go? Leave a comment below!
SO GREAT!! My son loves to retell me stories and events. he really like to draw them and share with his sister. I will look into those cards for my youngest!
This is such a cool idea and i am going to give it a go this weekend!
This is a brilliant idea! We’d love to incorporate this into our lessons. I agree with you that it can help preschoolers in so many ways. Appreciate the step-by-step guide.
I love this idea! I’m going to have to try it with my niece, she loves to tell stories! Thank you for sharing 🙂
This is so smart! Thank you for sharing this. It brought back feel-good memories of similar games I played as a child. I never relaxed how working skills through games could be so beneficial to development and learning. It’s an all in one. Very useful to integrate in early development and could even be a fun game to play as adults!
Hi Charlie-Elizabeth,
I’m so glad that you enjoyed reading about the sequence story lesson!
I love the sequence story idea. My kids learned a lot about connecting the dots from that method.
My daughter nailed this game. I thought it would be difficult for her but she surprised me.
Such a great method for visual learners! Thanks for sharing.
This is a great strategy for learning. I think this is a wonderful project for kids!
This looks like a great hands on learning activity! I love how it turned out, this would have been great when my kids were smaller.
Very simple activity with so many benefits! I especially love the life cycle of the monarch. We raise them in the summer time!
My boy is so much interested in the life cycle of a butterfly. I believe sequencing technique will be so much helpful for him to learn it in a more fun-filled method. Thank you for sharing. I will apply this, too.
I love this idea – it’s great for visual learners. I think it would also be a good way for a journal type story where the child recounts a vacation or day trip using photos you took on the day. What do you think?
Hi Janice,
Using photos for a vacation or a day trip is a great idea to make cards for a sequence story!
My kid sometimes have trouble with concentration, Will definitely try this out. Thanks for sharing
