Activities

Talking Points

• When planning a story, think about what makes a good beginning. You can start with "Once upon a time..."

• Use descriptive words to make your story more interesting. For example, "The giant, green dragon roared loudly."

• Remember to use punctuation marks like periods at the end of sentences and commas in lists. This helps your readers understand your story better.

• After you finish writing, read your story out loud to see if it makes sense. You can also ask someone else to read it and give you feedback.
