 LESSON

Why is following instruction important?

 Following instructions is a part of everyday life. It is the one’s ability to
act on requests by others. Following instructions requires the person to
attend to detail in spoken/ written language, to sequence the information in
the appropriate steps and to seek clarification if they have trouble
remembering or recalling the information.

Here are some guidelines in following instructions

1. Listen to each step in the instructions and the sequence of steps in the
instructions.
Try to listen intently, not just hear. When you actively listen, you can
better understand what you need to do.
2. Ask questions if the directions seem unclear.
If you are even slightly unsure of what you are being asked to do,
don’t be afraid to ask. Make sure the other person allows you the chance to
find out all the needed details to do your task.
3. Repeat the instructions to yourself or to the speaker to make sure you
have understood them.
Here’s a trick that may help: pretend that there is going to be a quiz
after the conversation. Visually think about what's being said and maybe
even repeat it in your head. This step is necessary to be sure you clearly
understand the directions.
4. Take notes to help you remember information.
Instead of trying to remember everything, write it down. There’s
nothing wrong with keeping notes; it shows that you are prepared, organized
and want to do the job/task correctly.

Why is it important to follow written/oral instructions accurately?

Your ability to follow directions can spell the difference between
success and failure. For example, when you are following a recipe, grafting a
plant, or taking a test. It can even mean the difference between life and
death, as when you are taking medicine.

To follow written directions accurately, you must remember these

details carefully.
1. for taking a test
whether to use full words or phrases or only the letters of the alphabet, or
number
whether to answer yes or no; true or false. Y, N; T, F
whether to draw or to write
whether to come up with only a formula or to solve problem with specific
figure others
2. for taking medicine
the daily dosage (amount and number of times a day)
whether the medicine can be taken in or should be for external use only
3. for filling up forms
whether to type or use only one’s handwriting
whether to write the last name first or the first name first
whether to write only one’s middle initial or to write the whole middle name
for birth dates
whether to write the month first or date first other data

ACTIVITIES

Arrange the steps in these processes in their proper order. Use

number 1 for the first step, 2 for the second step and so on. Write your
answer on the space before the sentences.

WRAP-UP

One’s ability to follow directions can draw the difference between success
and failure in a task. Listening to follow directions are important. They tell
people the things they need to know. When following instructions, make
sure to remember all necessary information.

Instructions are steps given to complete a job or a task. Sometimes

instructions are written and sometimes they are spoken. It is important to

Here are some guidelines in order to follow instructions properly:

instructions.
2. Ask questions if the directions seem unclear.
3. Repeat the instructions to yourself or to the speaker to make sure you
