Learn the idea

A story score is a plan for what happens first, next, and finally. Draw a picture or use a small seated hand gesture for each action.

Look at the example. The time words assign the positions directly: first=look, next=reach, finally=hold. A seated hand gesture or paper stick figure can stand for every action; large movements or actual props are unnecessary.

Follow the order given for this story. You can use paper pictures for all three actions.

1. Read the example story. Find what happens first, next, and finally.
2. Compare look → reach → hold with an order that starts with hold. Explain which follows the story.
3. Try the check question and the three practice questions. Then read the feedback.
4. Create three small panels: notice an object, reach toward it, and show it.
5. Check your work. Panels preserve the stated event order; each action has a visible paper figure or written label.

Try a new example: Plan three safe story pictures: first look, next nod, finally rest. Which order follows that story? Choices: (A) look → nod → rest (B) look → rest → nod (C) nod → look → rest (D) rest → nod → look. Answer: look → nod → rest. The time words assign the positions directly: first=look, next=nod, finally=rest. A seated hand gesture or paper stick figure can stand for every action; large movements or actual props are unnecessary.
