Sequencing words help us put things in order. They tell us what happens first, what happens next, and so on. Using these words makes your stories and instructions much easier to understand. Here's a quick guide:

• 🥇 First: This word tells us what happens at the very beginning. Think of it as the starting point!
• ➡️ Next: This word tells us what happens after the first thing. It moves the story or instructions forward.
• ➕ Also: This word adds more information or steps that happen at a similar time or are related to the previous step.
• ✅ Then: Similar to 'next,' it indicates what follows.
• 🎬 Finally: This word tells us what happens at the very end. It's the conclusion!
