Comprehension Activity

Pirate’s Twelve Days of Christmas Sequencing Activity: 

Sequencing is important in helping beginning readers comprehend what they have read. When your kids recall what happened in the story, they are working on the parts of the story and putting the events in order. 

 

In this activity, your kids need to put the pirate’s 12 days of Christmas in order and connect the pictures together. Using connect links helps your children to develop their fine motor skills too.

Why Are Fine Motor Skills Important?

From holding a pencil to turning the pages in a book, kids use their fine motor skills every day as they are learning to read and write.

 

The development of the small muscles in the hands and fingers in coordination with the eyes is important in not only children’s learning but also in their everyday life.

Book-Inspired Activity

 

To prepare this book-inspired activity, click on the button below to automatically download and print the sequencing cards for this activity. I like to print my resources on white card stock, because the thicker paper is more durable. But, you can use copy paper too.

 

Next, laminate the cards so your kids can use them over and over and cut them apart. Finally, punch holes on all of the black dots.
