Sequencing Picture Story Cards and Retell Data Sheets

About this resource

A picture card for every step of six everyday routines, printed in the order the routine actually happens — a child cuts, shuffles and rebuilds the story, then retells it, so this is a sequencing task, not a naming task. Every picture is the clearest one either art set has for that moment of the story; a note on both card pages names the five pictures a young child may call by their literal object instead of the story beat they stand for, so the scoring rule is decided once, before the first session.

WHAT IS INCLUDED — 19 pages, 298 type-in fields

Picture Story Cards

• 6 everyday routines, 23 pictured steps in all, in full color: Getting Dressed (4 steps), Morning Routine (4), Bedtime Routine (4), Making a Sandwich (4), Packing a Backpack (4), Washing Hands (3) — printed left to right in story order, cut apart by routine
• The same 23 pictures again as an ink-saver set in pure black outlines, for the photocopier
• A note printed on both card pages naming the 5 pictures a child may name literally rather than the story beat they stand for (Getting Dressed's pants/jeans and shoe/sneaker, Morning Routine's bowl/cereal, Packing a Backpack's backpack/bag, Washing Hands's water/faucet) so either name scores as correct, decided once

Retell And Track

• 3 quick retell forms (A, B, C), two routines each, no overlap — every routine on exactly one quick form; each step is scored correct/given and the whole routine is separately marked for whether it came out in the right order
• Full-Deck Retell — all six routines on one sheet, 23 steps scored at once, with the same two-part scoring (steps correct, and in-order Y/N/help)
• Retell Data Log — 16 rows: date, routine or form, correct, given, percent, in order, notes
• Percent Graph — 14 sessions across, 0–100 percent grid, a field for the team's own criterion
• Caseload Summary — 16 rows: student, routines worked on, baseline, current, trend, decision

Share And Write

• Practice at Home — a family update built from two of the same routines (Getting Dressed, Bedtime Routine), a weekly practice table, and lines for steps heard retold outside of practice time
• Phrase Bank — 17 observable-language starters across 5 groups (accuracy, what was said, carryover, the log and graph, the caseload page)
• Filled Example — an invented student, eight retell sessions, every percent re-counted from its own row, including one session where step accuracy and the order mark disagree

What This Is, And What It Is Not

It is a fillable PDF: type into the log, graph, caseload page, family page, and retell-form headers, or print and use a pen. It works offline with no account or subscription. It is NOT an editable online slideshow or word-processor document, and it is not a norm-referenced or standardized test.

It carries no elicitation, cueing or modeling script. It does not decide what counts as a correct retell, a criterion, or a typical rate for sequencing a routine — every one of those is this clinician's own call, written once and reused every session. Pictures replace the routine a child cannot yet read as a list; they do not replace the clinician's scoring rule.

Who This Is For

Speech-language pathologists and special education teams with students on a sequencing, narrative or routine-independence goal, and the families who get the practice page sent home.
