Story Sequence Organizer

This worksheet supports students in Grades 2 and 3 as they practice organizing a complete narrative using a clear beginning, middle, and end structure. Using a fantasy-themed prompt about a squirrel discovering a glowing pebble, learners develop storytelling skills while strengthening organization, sequencing, and complete-sentence writing.

• Creative Writing with Prompts
  Use an imaginative scenario to generate original story ideas.

  Decide what happens first, next, and last in a logical order.
• Complete Sentence Writing

Instructional Benefits

• Supports Developing Writers

It fits naturally into classroom and homeschool language arts instruction focused on early narrative development.
