- The child has learned how to structure a narrative with a clear beginning, middle, and end.

Encourage continued development by introducing the child to different styles of writing, such as poetry or non-fiction narratives. Have them explore writing from different perspectives, like writing from the viewpoint of an animal or a historical figure. Encourage the use of metaphors and similes to enhance their descriptive skills, and provide opportunities for them to share their stories with others for feedback and encouragement.
