Have your child glue them one by one onto a large piece of paper in alphabetical or numerical order. Be sure to ask questions using the words before and after while you are determining the correct sequence. • Your child should understand what the terms "before" and "after" really mean. To help your child grasp this concept, practice this skill with your child. You may wish to use objects that your child is familiar with (i.e. colored blocks, small toys, etc.). Lay three or four objects in a line and talk about before and after in regards to those particular objects. This should help your child understand the concept of before and after. • Talk about "before" and "after" in regards to events that have occurred throughout your child's day. For instance, ask your child, "What did you do before lunch?" or "What do we usually do after dinner?" 10
