Date:              

Today I am practising: identifying a story problem and its solution

1

Name the character with a problem.

2

Draw or write the problem.

3

Circle one action the character tries.

4

Write what happens after that action.

5

Finish: The problem is solved when ___.

6

Tell an adult whether the solution worked and use a story clue.

Grown-up guide
  1. Choose a short narrative with one central, age-appropriate problem.
  2. Distinguish the problem from a character feeling by asking what needs to change.
  3. Return to the ending page if the child needs to check the solution.
