Unit 14
Sequencing
The sequence of events is the order in which they happen. We need to follow the correct sequence: • when we retell the events in a story • when we describe the different stages in a process • when we give instructions for doing something. To make the sequence clear we use sequencing words like first, next, then, as soon as, finally.

An adult should supervise them when they are cooking.
