01

What Students Need to Do

Students connect a story to something they know or have experienced. With teacher prompts, they name the characters, setting, and key events, then retell events in order. They also predict what may happen using clues from the words and pictures.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

After hearing a familiar story, the student names the main characters, setting, and key events. The student retells the beginning, middle, and end in order. Predictions and personal connections clearly relate to the story or illustrations.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may name any object as a character or confuse the setting with an event. They may retell favorite details out of order or leave out the main problem. Predictions may be guesses with no link to the words or pictures.

04

How to Assess It

Read a short picture book, then ask the student to name the character and setting, place three event cards in order, and retell the story. Show one additional page and ask what might happen next and why.

1. 01

   Give students character props and three mats labeled beginning, middle, and end, then have them act out and sequence a familiar story.

2. 02

   Ask, "What does this story remind you of?" Students draw the connection and explain it to a partner.

3. 03

   Play Story Detective by sorting picture cards into character, setting, or event groups, then explaining each choice.

4. 04

   Before reading a book about a grocery store, discuss store visits and use the cover to predict what the character will do.
