Narrative Writing

This week, we are finishing up our work on narrative writing and we will begin a new genre of writing next week. Talk to your child about the elements of a narrative story and make sure they understand all of the parts. This is a picture of a checklist that your child has to fill out with a teacher when they are finished writing a narrative story. In order for their story to meet the standard, they have to have all of those elements checked off.
Something you can do with your child is make up stories together and tell them to each other orally. You can start a story with an engaging beginning such as..."One cold and snowy morning..." This is something easy you can do together while cleaning the house or driving in the car.
Thanks for your continued support from home!
