For the next two weeks we will be focusing on sequencing during our reading lessons. 1st graders are expected to retell familiar stories with a beginning, middle, and end using details from the story. We are utilizing different graphic organizers to identify the elements of the story (characters, setting, problem, plot, solution). Transitions words like first, next, and last are great indicators for major events in the story. Students are learning to identify them and use them to retell the story.
HOW CAN I HELP?:
As you read stories with your child, ask them questions. Here are some examples:
-Where did the story happen?
-What happened before...
-What happened after....
-What was the problem?
-How did they TRY to solve the problem? Did it work?
