Tuesday: Order Words and Linking Words

Hazel the Hedgehog reads her steps out loud. "Wash. Rinse. Arrange. Taste."

"It sounds choppy," says Oliver the Owl. "Like a list, not a card."

Hazel frowns. "What do you notice I could add?" she asks.

Riley whispers, "Here is a hint. Little words like first and also join the ideas."

Order words show when each step happens.

First, next, then and last are order words.

"First, wash your hands. Next, rinse the grapes." The order is clear.

Linking words join ideas that go together.

Also, another, and, more and but are linking words.

"Add grapes. Also add carrots." "You can use crackers, but check the label."
