Signal Words

• Signal words such as “first,” “then,” “next,” and “finally,” help to clarify the order of steps in a process.

routine. First, I carefully place my feet at the free throw line. Next, I spin the ball slightly in my hands.

Then I give the ball two quick bounces and look up at the hoop.

Finally, I bend my knees and shoot.
