Introduction

NOTING DETAILS is important in reading skill for children to learn. We note details by asking WH-
questions who, what, where, when and how. Taking notes helps you remember the most important
points. Noting details is a brief record of something that one has written down on paper. This may be
a statement, a quote, a definition or a phrase one may have written down in order to remember.

 PART 3- EXPLAIN

NOTING DETAILS is important in reading skill for children to learn. We note details by asking WH-
questions who, what, where, when and how.
Taking notes helps you remember the most important points. When taking notes remember the
following:

1. Write down the key words and phrases.

2. Write down only the main ideas and importance details.
3. Use a word or a short phrase to explain an idea.
4. Use your own words so that you can understand them later.
5. Write legibly so that you can easily read your notes when you refer to them later.

We can INFER or guess the traits and feelings of the characters on what they say, what others
say about them, by what they think and feel, and by what they do.

The SEQUENCE is the order in which events take place. Understanding the sequence of
events can help you know what is happening and why it happens.

The words FIRST, NEXT, THEN, and LASTLY are called SIGNAL WORDS. Signal words
introduce the steps in a process or sequence of events.

FIRST is the beginning of the event, NEXT is the second event, THEN is the third event,
and LASTLY is the end of the story or narrative.

GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS are charts or visuals which are used to represent what we think of.
They can help us understand what we read. In sequencing events, we use organizers like the
storyboard, flow chart, story train, chain of events chart and sequence chart.

Sequencing is an essential reading skill that students must develop if they are to fully understand all
reading material. Luckily, sequencing comes naturally to most children as the concept of
chronological order is reinforced from very early on through the practice of the routines of daily life.
The importance of a defined beginning, middle, and end is further emphasized from the first fairy tales
students’ encounter through to the later classics of English literature. While it is clear our students
have a sense of what sequence is right from the start, understanding how a sequence comes
together, and developing the necessary skills to identify its component parts, is another matter and it
is this that will serve as the focus of this article.
