Story Starters for Kids

The first few sentences of a narrative text are extremely important. Once the reader has read the first few lines of a story, they will make a decision about whether or not to keep reading. One of the most effective ways to begin a narrative is to create a ‘hook’ to capture the reader’s attention. This PowerPoint presentation includes seven sensational methods that your students can use to begin their stories in an exciting and interesting way.

Teaching kids how to write a hook for a narrative is crucial as it sets the tone and captures the reader’s attention from the very beginning. A hook is the opening line or lines of a story designed to draw readers in and make them want to continue reading. For children, learning to craft an engaging hook not only enhances their writing skills but also encourages creativity and critical thinking.
