📚 Topic Summary
Sequencing events means figuring out the order in which things happen in a story. It's like putting puzzle pieces together to see the whole picture! By understanding the sequence, you can better understand the story's plot, characters, and message. Knowing how to sequence events also helps you retell stories and write your own!
