These cards can be used to assist young students to visually grasp this somewhat difficult concept. They would be able to trace their own sequencing ideas in which stories and events can occur. Students get an opportunity to:-
-Follow directions
-Discriminate between pictures
-Improve visual awareness
-Retell stories and events in sequence
-Build oral vocabulary skills
-Build narrative (story) skills
-Improve sequencing skills
-Ask and answer “wh” questions themselves for clarity
SUGGESTED USE:
These simple picture cards are lots of fun to sequence! Kids will arrange them in logical order to complete each sequence. Use these simple COLOR-CODED picture sequencing cards to practice sequencing in 4-scene sets with your young detectives.
DIFFERENTIATION/EXTENSION:
For students having difficulty with sequences it is suggested that you scaffold learning by working individually with them as a guide on the side, gradually releasing support as time goes by. To start, simply select one sequence set and present the final picture first to allow him or her to see the BIG PICTURE. Then have the student place the remaining pictures in the correct order back up to the beginning to complete the sequence.
For the stronger students you can challenge them to write the story in sequence using the cards as a guide. They can write two or three sentences about each card then ultimately putting sentences together to create their own piece.

Letter Writing:

You can print and laminate sheets to work in any of the three ways outlined above. Another option is to print and tie sheets together using punched holes then place in your early writing centers. All your kids will need to do is use the dots as a guide to begin writing each letter, getting as close as possible to the lines for uniformity.

Goal Setting
Students are encouraged to write goals by creating S.M.A.R.T. goals. As they do so it is helpful for them to have a visual aid to help them think along the lines of creating sound goals. These posters are a great classroom display for them to refer to whether setting goals for a day, a week, a month or a year.
Included are three (3) classroom general posters:- one with a boy playing soccer, one with a girl playing soccer and one with a simple breakdown of the S.M.A.R.T. goals.
Are you ready to get your students super excited about writing? With this product added to your writing activities you’ll get your students pumped up about writing lines and letters of the alphabet. Handwriting Patterns – Lines and Letters is a set of pre-writing posters, cards, mats and worksheets that help students to practice the writing patterns needed to form the letters of alphabet correctly. This set encourages students to start drawing different type of lines - the first step in pencil control and enhances both motor planning and fine motor skills.
Included in this set are varying handwriting line formats for differentiated practice, letter and word mats, posters and alphabet cards.
—❀❀❀—Handwriting Pattern Mats and Worksheets - The Handwriting Pattern Mats contain tracing lines for multiple practice opportunities. The patterns include: straight, horizontal, diagonal, zig zag, curved, wavy, castle top and lots more! Each mat also hast check boxes for students to keep their posture and hand grip in check!
—❀❀❀—Letter Characteristics Posters -These posters depict both the UPPERCASE and lowercase letters of the alphabet according to these characteristics:
Straight letters
Tall letters
Short letters
Donut letters
Diagonal letters
Letters with tails
Letters with curves
Letters with humps and closed humps
I also included the grouping uppercase (capital) and lowercase (common).
These groupings are particularly useful for the teaching and revision of letter and can be used as a sequence for the introduction of the letters. Once the similarities of movement are pointed out, then students are able to develop a metacognitive awareness of letter formation that can support their practices of letter writing.
—❀❀❀—The “Letter Looks Like” Cards is my own creation in which each letter is fixed to an object, animal or person as a visual reminder of form. I have tried to align them based also on initial sound to make a meaningful connection for students.
—❀❀❀—Letter Form Visual “Make It!” Cards - There are 26 cards (2 per print) that show students how to make their own model of the letter using either straight lines, curved or circular shapes.
—❀❀❀—Letter and Word Practice Mats - These mats are geared towards guiding students to write freely within grids or frames. There are 2 x 2 grids (large letters); 3 x 2 grids; multiple grid rows and large single lines then soft double guide lines for more precise handwriting. I also included a handwriting free style sheet and letter formation sheets with start points for students to keep in their writing folders.
—❀❀❀—Fillable Letter Mats - With these letter mats your students can use play doh (playdough), chain links or any medium to fill the space within the letters. These work well as write on and wipe off mats that can be laminated or placed in plastic sleeves.
