The second pack in the Ages 5 to 7 Vocabulary & Speaking collection, teaching children to recount real events so a listener who was not there can follow along: ordering events, setting the scene, choosing what matters, better connectors, vivid description, feelings and perspective.

What's included

Start at the beginning, putting muddled events into a sensible order
Who, where and when, setting the scene before the action
What happened, choosing the three key events of the middle
Important or not important, filtering out the trivia
Tell it from the pictures, independent narration start to finish
Banishing and then, connectors like suddenly, eventually and while
Make me picture it, vivid settings and description
Feelings and the main event, the emotional arc of a story
Narrative inference, what happened before and what happens next
Same event, two people, understanding perspective
Three things from my day, plus good follow-up questions
The one-minute story challenge, and a completion certificate

Who it's for

Parents and carers of children aged 5 to 7 whose stories jump around or stop at "it was fun".
