5 Picture Sequencing Adapted Book | "I Can Do Lots of Things III" with 7 Worksheets

Build advanced sequencing skills with this engaging adapted book and worksheet set! Students sequence a series of 5 pictures in the correct order to show the steps of various everyday activities — building logical reasoning, story sequencing, following directions, and language skills through fun, relatable scenarios.

This 5-picture sequencing format is the ideal next step after 3- or 4-picture sequencing — perfect for students who have mastered shorter sequences and are ready for more advanced sequencing work.

Perfect for speech therapy (sequencing IEP goals!), special education, autism classrooms, AAC users, and emerging communicators, this versatile resource includes the adapted book PLUS 7 worksheets — and the printable pieces can be repurposed as cookie sheet activities, file folder games, or task mats for additional practice across centers and workstations.

★ Perfect for: Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs), Special Education Teachers, Autism Classrooms, Self-Contained Classrooms, Resource Rooms, Life Skills Classes, Paraprofessionals, ABA Therapists, Early Childhood, PreK, Preschool, Kindergarten, 1st Grade, 2nd Grade, and 3rd Grade

What's Included:

• 1 Adapted Book — "I Can Do Lots of Things III" (5-picture sequencing format)
• 7 Worksheets — for independent practice and review
• Black & white copies included — perfect for printing, sending home as homework, or independent practice
• Versatile printable pieces — convert to cookie sheet activities, file folder games, or task mats!

Sample Activity:

A teacher or therapist reads:

"I can make an ice cream sundae…"

Students then sequence the 5 pictures in the order that makes the most sense — building advanced logical reasoning and sequencing skills with relatable everyday activities!

Skills Targeted in This Sequencing Adapted Book:

• Story sequencing (5-picture sequence format — advanced!)
• Logical reasoning — what comes first, next, and last in a 5-step process
• Following directions in extended sequences
• Picture-to-picture sequencing
• First-then-next-last vocabulary (and beyond — adding more sequence words!)
• Cause and effect
• Reading comprehension
• Receptive and expressive language
• Vocabulary development (everyday activities and actions)
• Visual processing and discrimination
• Independent work skills
• Fine motor practice (manipulating pieces, worksheets)
• Functional life skill awareness (sequencing real-life tasks!)

Why 5-Picture Sequencing Matters:

Most early sequencing resources stop at 3- or 4-picture sequences. This 5-picture format is the natural next step — perfect for students who have mastered shorter sequences and need more challenging work. SLPs writing IEP goals often progress students from 3-picture → 4-picture → 5-picture sequencing as they build complexity, and this resource fills that critical 5-picture skill level.

How to Use This Sequencing Adapted Book:

In a small group, the teacher or therapist reads each sentence ("I can make an ice cream sundae…") while students sequence the 5 pictures in the correct logical order. Students working independently can practice the book at a literacy center or workstation.

The 7 worksheets and B&W copies extend the activity — use for:

• Independent classwork
• Homework assignments
• Send-home practice
• Cookie sheet activities (magnetic engagement!)
• File folder games (portable, durable)
• Task mats for centers and work stations
• Speech therapy session worksheets

Ways to Use:

• Small group speech therapy (5-picture sequencing IEP goals!)
• 1:1 instruction for targeted advanced sequencing practice
• Whole group language lessons with the adapted book
• Literacy centers and independent workstations
• Cookie sheet activities (magnetic format with metal sheet)
• File folder games (portable, storage-friendly)
• Task mats for independent work systems
• Homework practice (send home B&W copies)
• Functional life skills practice (sequencing real-life activities!)
• AAC modeling ("First… then… next… and last…" language frames)
• Language intervention for emerging communicators
