How to Teach Preschool Children Sequencing

Sequencing is understanding how a series of objects, events, and time occur in a specific and logical order. It is understanding patterns, and patterns are everywhere! This is a very important concept for preschool children to develop, as it allows children to recognize patterns that make the world more understandable and predictable. It is the precursor to retelling stories, as children begin to understand that stories follow a sequence that include a beginning, middle, and an end. However, it is also a very abstract concept, and takes a lot of practice. Fortunately, there are a lot of natural, simple, and fun ways to teach sequencing!
