Milestone Idea Cards

‘Talks about the sequence of events in a story or a text
using language of order: after, next, last, first, what is

missing, then.’
‘I can sit in a small group and listen’

After having a story asking your child to tell you what
happened in it back.

Can they use words such as first, after, next?
You can give you child prompts to support this.
To help develop your child’s concentration skills you can ask
questions about the story and the characters and their

favourite parts to see if they were listening.
