Oral storytelling is our first step in becoming writers. Prior to writing a story, the student must first be able to orally retell the story in a logical sequence. During oral storytelling, we will emphasize a beginning, middle, and end, telling our story across 5 fingers (i.e what happens first, next, etc.), and adding details to our story. Please encourage oral storytelling at home by having your child retell an event that happened to you and your family. Every moment is worthwhile!
