Teaching Kids How to Retell
Teaching students the art of retelling is an essential skill that helps them comprehend and internalise the content they read or hear. It’s a foundational step towards developing strong reading comprehension and critical thinking abilities. To make this process engaging and effective, this carefully constructed collection of teaching slides is the perfect starting point for your retell unit plan. The 19-slide teaching PowerPoint includes the following topics:
- Retelling Stories (an overview)
- About key details in a story.
- What makes a character a character in a story?
- What is the setting in a story?
- All about the marine vents in a story.
- Why it’s important to order the events in the correct order.
- Introduction to vocabulary that helps guide the order of a retell.
- Practice points a long the way!
Teaching Retell Enhances Comprehension
Teaching your students how to retell a story successfully requires your students to engage with the material actively. By retelling a story or text, they must understand the content well enough to extract and convey its key points accurately. This only deepens their comprehension skills.
Retelling a story can also develop your students’ vocabulary and language skills as they are encouraged to use their words to convey information.
