A good activity for students to practice new vocabulary or to check for understanding after reading is to have them arrange sentences in order. If you cut out sentence strips, this tactile activity is great for students to practice reading comprehension.

I also use these activity with song lyrics for listening practice as well. Download our free sentence strips for De Que Me Sirve La Vida by Camila.

After students have read an article, type out several sentences for the students to put in order as they happened in the story.

I also created this activity for students to practice reading comprehension in our daily routines unit where students had to arrange 15 sentences using such clues as time, the word depués, and linking vocabulary such as ending one sentence with “El va a la cafetería para almorzar” to the next sentence “Come mucho y ya no tiene hambre.”
