How to Use This Pack

Five pages of steps. Pages 1 to 3 each explain one job, feeding a fish, washing a dog and making a bird feeder, in four numbered boxes: children draw each step and write it after First, Next, Then and Last. Page 4 is what you need to wash a dog, three things to draw and write. Page 5 is lined: children pick something they know how to do and write the steps.

In the Classroom

Act out a job with the class, such as feeding the class fish, and stop after each step to say it together: first, next, then, last. Then let partners tell the steps to each other before they draw. A how-to is a good piece to write together as a class first.

At Home

Do a real job together, like feeding a pet or watering a plant, and talk through each step. Then let your child draw and write the steps for someone else to follow.

Tips for Success

  • Say the steps out loud in order
  • One step in each box
  • Start with First, end with Last
  • Draw what your hands do
  • Ask a friend to follow your steps
