Why the lesson is properly sequence

Elementary teachers can use the children's book If You Give a Cat a Cupcake to teach students how to correctly sequence plot events in a fictional story


Sequencing is a reading comprehension skill that elementary students need to learn to become proficient readers. Knowing how to order events in a story helps elementary students better understand the text they are reading. Teachers can use a cupcake recipe to demonstrate to the kids how important it is to be able to correctly sequence events.
