Sequence of Events and Retelling

Today the kids practiced retelling stories focusing on the sequence of events. To do this we made pizzas and put them together in different sequences. They soon discovered that there was only one way that worked. We then related this to the stories we read and how it is important that we can retell story events in the order that they happened or the sequence of events. We also learned a new beanie baby comprehension strategy to help us remember to retell the stories we read. His name is Jabber the Reteller. He is a parrot so he likes to repeat/retell what he reads. We then practiced using our new strategy after hearing the story Pete's a Pizza. Please have your child practice retelling the stories you are reading at home! :)

Happy Reading!
