Introducing the Read-Aloud 15 minutes
Story Review
- Using their sequence of events for “Cinderella,” have students share
the events of the story in partner pairs or in small groups. Have one
student take a turn to say one event, and have the next student follow
up with an event that happened next. Encourage the use of temporal
words: first, next, then, after that, later, and finally. In particular, have
students begin the story with the phrase, “once upon a time,” and end
the story with the phrase, “happily ever after.” - You may also wish to have partner pairs try to sequence Image
Cards 13–21 as they retell the story.
