Published by Learning Materials Ltd, the ‘Sequencing Without Words’ series has been designed to improve comprehension and communication skills. Each photocopiable exercise is made up of lively and humorous drawings presenting a story in pictures in a random order without accompanying words. Rearranging the pictures to tell the story helps pupils to form a narrative with a beginning, middle and end, a skill which has a bearing on every aspect of learning.

The activities are aimed at students aged 7-11, although children younger or older can also benefit. The series fits a range of abilities in pupils, extending from exercises asking which of two pictures comes first, to quite complex six-picture stories which will challenge more able students. The activities can also be used with students who are learning English for the first time.

Since there are no words in the exercises, it is possible to temporarily set aside the challenge of reading and writing, although pupils can subsequently be set a written task adapted to their level of literacy.
