Beginning Middle End

Identifying the most important event from the beginning, middle and end of the story help a reader understand how organisation, sequence, and plot make a good story. This can then be applied to their own writing.

Story elements

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

Sentence transformations

This activity gives students practise with sentence structure (Syntax). Transforming words that are out of order forces students to think about each word in a sentence rather than only memorising 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.

Identifying rhyming words

Rhyming is a basic phonological awareness skill that develops a beginning understanding of the way sounds work within words. When students learn rhyming words, they are developing the ability to:

1. Break words down into smaller words.

2. Learn the rhythm of the written and spoken word.

3. Learn word families such as den, ben, ten, men, and pen.

4. Increases ability to spell new words.
