Benchmark Literacy - Text Important, Sequence of Events

Example from Kinder:
Students will:

Identify the sequence of events in pictures and text.
Identify and use the signal language for sequence of events.
Determine important information in text.
Use academic sentence frames to discuss strategies

About the Strategy

The order in which events happen is called a sequence of events.
Signal language, such as first, next, then, after, and finally, can help readers recognize and understand sequence.
Recognizing sequence helps readers follow directions, learn steps in a new process, or understand how events unfold over time.

In your Benchmark Lessons - are you remembering this part of the lesson? From kinder lesson Unit 3 day 1:

Reflect and Discuss

Ask and discuss the following questions:

Why is it important to recognize a sequence of events?
How does knowing the sequence of events help you understand what you are reading?
What are some signal words that can help you figure out the sequence of events?

Connect and transfer. Say: Remember, you can look for sequence in a text, too. Tomorrow, we will practice looking for sequence in a text.
