Pre-K Reading: Retell with Three Pictures

Name:                              
Date:              

Today I am practising: retelling a familiar read-aloud in simple sequence

1

Draw or point to what happened first.

2

Draw or point to what happened next.

3

Draw or point to what happened last.

4

Put 1, 2, and 3 by your pictures.

5

Tell the story using first, next, and last.

6

Ask an adult to name one part you remembered.

Grown-up guide
  1. Use a short, familiar book with a clear change or event sequence.
  2. Let the child dictate labels after drawing only if they want to.
  3. Prompt with 'what happened next?' rather than correcting order immediately.
