What children learn in Level 58
- Welcome to Story Time! Every story has characters, a setting, and events.
- The characters are who is in the story: people or animals.
- The setting is where the story happens, like a park, a school, or a beach.
- The events are what happens: the beginning, the middle, and the end.
- Good readers guess what will happen next, then keep listening to find out!
- Try it with a grown-up! Stop in the middle of a story and guess what will happen next. Were you right?
