Your guide to sequencing of events:
Sequencing is one of many skills that contributes
to students' ability to comprehend what they
read. Sequencing refers to the identification of
the components of a story, such as the
beginning, middle, and end, and to the ability to
retell the events within a given text in the order
in which they occurred," ("Sequencing,"
2014). This strategy can be done at any age and
with any subject, but it is usually used with
beginning readers, ("Sequencing," 2014).

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.
To identify sequence when reading or viewing a
text, readers need to:
● Identifying sequence in a text involves
identifying the beginning, the middle, and
the end.
● Recognize the order of events, through
looking out for the sequencing words or
transitions that are used to connect the
various parts of the text.
● Acknowledge some of these words and
phrases that also act as signals to provide
an indication of whether the event will be
in the beginning, in the middle, or toward
the end of the text’s chronology.

THE FIRST VOYAGE OF SINBAD THE
SAILOR
From The Junior Classics edited by William Patten
My father was a rich merchant.
He bequeathed me a large estate,
which I wasted in riotous living. I
quickly perceived that I was
misspending my time, which is of all things the
most valuable. I remembered the saying of the
great Solomon, which I had frequently heard
from my father, "A good name is better than
precious ointment;" and again, "Wisdom is good
with an inheritance." I resolved to walk in my
father's ways, and I entered into a contract with
some merchants, and embarked with them on
board a ship we had fitted out in partnership.
We set sail, and steered our course
toward the Indies, through the Persian Gulf. At
first I was troubled with sea-sickness, but
speedily recovered my health. In our voyage we
touched at several islands, where we sold or
exchanged our goods. One day we were
becalmed near a small island, but little elevated
above the level of the water, and resembling a
green meadow. The captain ordered his sails to
be furled, and permitted such persons as were
so inclined to land. While we were enjoying
ourselves eating and drinking, and recovering
from the fatigue of the sea, the island of a
sudden trembled and shook us terribly.
The trembling of the island was noticed on
board ship, and we were called upon to re-
embark speedily, lest we should all be lost; for
what we took for an island proved to be the back
of a sea monster.
The nimblest got into the sloop, others
betook themselves to swimming; but as for
myself, I was still upon the island when it
disappeared into the sea, and I had only time to
catch hold of a piece of wood that we had
brought out of the ship to make a fire.
Meanwhile, the captain, having received on
board those who were in the sloop, and taken up
some of those that swam, resolved to take
advantage of the favorable gale that had just
risen, and, hoisting his sails, pursued his voyage.

Thus, was I exposed to the mercy of the
waves the rest of that day and the following
night. By this time, I found my strength gone, and
despaired of saving my life, when happily a wave
threw me on an island. The bank was high and
rugged, so that I could scarcely have got up had
it not been for some roots of trees which I found
within reach. When the sun arose, I was very
feeble. I found some herbs fit to eat and had the
good luck to discover a spring of excellent water.
After this I advanced further into the island, and
at last reached a fine.
