The second pack in the Ages 5 to 7 Vocabulary & Speaking collection, teaching children to recount real events so a listener who was not there can follow along: ordering events, setting the scene, choosing what matters, better connectors, vivid description, feelings and perspective.
What's included
- Start at the beginning, putting muddled events into a sensible order
- Who, where and when, setting the scene before the action
- What happened, choosing the three key events of the middle
- Important or not important, filtering out the trivia
- Tell it from the pictures, independent narration start to finish
- Banishing and then, connectors like suddenly, eventually and while
- Make me picture it, vivid settings and description
- Feelings and the main event, the emotional arc of a story
- Narrative inference, what happened before and what happens next
- Same event, two people, understanding perspective
- Three things from my day, plus good follow-up questions
- The one-minute story challenge, and a completion certificate
