Story Steps: Story Sequencing for Class 1 

This Grade 1 worksheet helps children understand the order of events in a story and develop early narrative thinking.

Why Story Sequencing Matters in Grammar? 

1. It teaches children to organize thoughts and ideas in a logical order. 
2. It helps them recognize the structure of a story — beginning, middle, and end. 
3. It improves comprehension and retention of details. 
4. It develops writing and storytelling confidence through guided exercises.
