Story Order for Ages 8-10

What happens first?

Story Order gives the child a short sequence of events out of order and asks them to put it right. Working out that the seed goes in the ground before the flower appears is cause-and-effect reasoning, and it is the same skill that later lets a child summarise a book or follow a set of instructions.

The 8-10 level uses longer chains where several orderings look plausible until the child reasons through what has to come first.

What it teaches

• Sequencing events in order
• Cause and effect reasoning
• Narrative comprehension
• Using first, next, then and last

How to play

1. Look at all the pictures in the row.
2. Work out which one happens first.
3. Tap the pictures in the order the events happen.
4. Try telling the story out loud once you have finished.
