Guided Reading

Coming up in reading your child will be working on summarizing. When summarizing your child will focus on the following story elements:

Somebody- Who are the main characters?

Wanted- Tell what the main character wanted or hoped would happen!

But- What was the problem that the main character had that stopped him or her from getting what he or she wanted?

So- How did the main character solve his or her problem?

Finally- What was the main character able to do since he or she solved the problem?

And- Tell any other important fact that helped the main character at the end of the story!
