Step by step

  1. Print and cut out 3-picture sequences (seed-sprout-flower, melting snowman).
  2. Look at the scrambled pictures together and name what you see on each one.
  3. Ask "Which one comes first?" and let your child move them around, test things out, and change their mind.
  4. Line the pictures up from left to right, just like reading.
  5. Listen to them tell the story; prompt them with transition words ("First... then... and at the end?").
  6. Try 4-picture sequences, funny twist endings, making up a missing ending, or writing down the story as they dictate it to you.
