NARRATION DIRECTIONS UNDER CONSTRUCTION – PLEASE DO NOT USE WHAT IS CURRENTLY ON THIS PAGE
Simply put, a narration is a retelling of what the child has just read. It is appropriate in the Grammar school for this to be an oral exercise and it should be regularly and intentionally done by the student after independent reading or read-alouds. If your student struggles with composing a written narration, they can dictate and then copy. They will naturally want to skip this step as they become more confident and experienced.
