A Simple Story Template for Kindergarten
If you’re looking for a simple but effective resource for teaching sequencing to your littlest learners, this template may be just what you need!
This fun and engaging teaching resource has been designed to help young learners develop essential storytelling skills. In this activity, students will cut and sequence four simple pictures of a cute monster playing with a ball. Afterwards, they will write a short story based on the sequence.
This resource is perfect for introducing students to basic narrative structure and sequencing, which are both key components of early literacy development.
How This Resource Supports Early Literacy
This resource may be simple, but it packs a punch when it comes to supporting early literacy development! Here’s how:
- Sequencing Skills – Sequencing is a fundamental skill that supports reading comprehension. In completing this task, students must identify what would be the most logical flow of events, then arrange the pictures accordingly.
- Narrative Structure – By arranging the pictures in the correct order, students learn about the beginning, middle and end of a story. This helps them understand how events unfold to create a coherent narrative.
- Creative Writing – Once the pictures are sequenced, students are encouraged to use their creativity to write a simple story. This activity helps them develop their writing skills and express their ideas clearly.
