Several of our teachers have made retell beads with their class, which
is a set of colored pony beads on a ribbon, then used as a bookmark. The
beads are strung on so they slide, much like a golf counter. Kids can
then keep it in their independent reading book and practice the skill on
their own
I really love this idea.

section, etc.). Really helped me to see where the gaps were. Things are
This is sort of like those story strings in the Lit Life Complete Year
books...there's a button for characters, a button for setting, three buttons
for 3 important events, and a bow at the bottom to remind students to tie it
all up at the end...

Great idea for Retelling!! Thanks so much!!
I did a lot of Dictated Stories with my First Graders (Language Experience
Activity - Writing - Stauffer).
There is a wonderful program by Starburst which I will check on the exact name
of next week (after Spring Break)

I would look closely at my daily routines. Interactive writing is powerful in
short spurts. I think kids tire of it when it goes on too long.
Some examples:
