The ability to retell a story is an important kinder standard and one that tends to be quite challenging for English Language Learners.My class loves to hear stories and I think this will be a real favorite. Why do I love The Mitten? I like it because of the rich vocabulary it introduces and most students can relate to losing something important.The retelling cards are placed in the pocket chart and look like a Flow Map which is used for sequencing. I made a reader for them that matches the cards and has dots under the text to help them continue to develop concepts of print. Thank you KPM Doodles for the adorable graphics to help me to make these materials. She has a great shop at Teacher's Notebook.

Happy Friday my Friend!
This looks great. Are you going to post a link to the book and activities? I have continued placing dots on the sentences to help my students. Thank you for your continued contributions to our classroom materials.
Retell is an incredibly important skill for young learners!

Your flow map is adorable - I used your thanksgiving flow map and the kids instantly GOT IT! Fran, is there any chance you'd consider posting this? We're studying Jan Brett right now and working hard on sequencing. Thanks - Lisa

Looks great! We used your I can Run book from the gingerbread unit and the retell cards. LOVED them! I also made the bracelets and it REALLY helped! Does the booklet have a bracelet for retell too? :)
