Retelling Rope

Hello Everyone,
This week we are working hard on the components of a good story and being able to retell with all those components evident.  I've posted about retelling ropes before, but I wanted to share how much my kids love them and "get it!" 
We reviewed all the story parts and created our class-size retelling anchor chart and rope. Then the kids made their own. 

  Retelling is an important component of discriminating comprehension  in our young readers. Teaching the main components of a story  will help kids understand story structure, the relationships between the parts, sequencing, author’s purpose, and so many other comprehension skills.

Here's a little retelling unit. It includes :

*A little poem to post

*A mini poster showing the Story  Retelling  Rope

*4 mini posters which depict some of the  story parts.

*3 pages of large icons for your own large poster or retelling  

      rope.

*2 pages of small icons for the kids to make their own rope (color and black and white for them to color their own)

*Student recording pages(color and black and white)

Here's the link to the downloadable Retelling Rope unit...Click!! :)

Parents, don't forget to ask your kiddo about their retelling rope.  Try it at home with the books your kiddo is bringing home. 
Have a great night everyone!
Thanks for taking time to take a peek!!
Joyfully!
