Beginning Middle End

Identifying the most important event from the beginning, middle and end of the story helps a reader understand how organization, sequence, and plot make a good story. This can then be applied to their own writing. Teaching students to retell occurrences in a story helps them become more accurate in summarizing and monitoring their understanding.

Story elements

A graphic organizer, such as a story map, can help students visually organize a story's elements, increasing their ability to retell, summarize, and comprehend the story.

Sentence transformations

This activity gives students practice with sentence structure (Syntax). Transforming words that are out of order forces students to think about each word in a sentence rather than only memorizing an entire phrase without understanding the importance of structure.

Writing prompts

Making connections is thinking about the text in relation to ourselves, other texts, and the world. Making connections provides the basis for learning, as students connect new information with their own experiences. This develops fluency with their comprehension skills.

KWL charts

This note-taking device guides students through a three-step process to activate background knowledge, develop a purpose for learning, and summarize.

Literal, Inferential, and Evaluative Question Answering

Literal questions have responses that are directly stated in the text.

Inferential questions have responses that are indirectly stated, induced, or require other information.

Evaluative questions require the reader to formulate a response based on their opinion.

These questions will enhance your students reading comprehension and critical thinking skills as they learn to search for clues and symbolism in the stories they read.
