Procedural Writing Examples for Exploring Sequence

One of the key features of any procedural text is a set of instructions that are written in sequential order.

This set of 3 cut-and-paste worksheets has been designed by our experienced teacher team to help your students practise this skill of sequencing instructions. Students are required to:

  • Cut out the series of steps belonging to each procedure (which have been jumbled).
  • Read each step, then sequence them in the order they should be performed.
  • Paste them in the table provided in the correct order. 

This pack of procedural writing examples contains the following texts:

  • How to Play Snakes and Ladders
  • How to Make Spaghetti 
  • How to Plant a Seed

All examples are written in simple, age-appropriate language, making them suitable for lower primary students.

Lesson Ideas for These Procedural Writing Examples

Looking for some ideas about how you might use these procedural writing examples with your students? One suggestion from our teacher team is to use all three texts in the resource: one for a modelled, whole-class activity, one for a small-group or pair activity and one for independent practice. This means that the amount of support is gradually withdrawn as the students become more confident with the process of sequencing the examples. 

As an extension activity, you could even challenge more-confident students by asking them to create their own sequencing worksheets for different procedures. They can write the steps themselves or research existing procedures online. The class could then complete the sequencing worksheet as a lesson wrap-up. 

Download to Explore Procedural Writing

The procedural writing sequencing worksheets are available as either an easy-print PDF or an editable Google Slides version. Use the Download button to access your preferred file format. (Note: You will be prompted to make a copy of the Google Slides template on your personal drive before accessing it.)

As the resource pack contains answer sheets throughout, we suggest printing one copy, then removing the answer sheets before making copies for your students.
