Retell
This worksheet is part of a larger unit, ’Retell Comprehension Strategy’ and provides an in-depth overview of the strategy ‘retell’. It includes five steps for remembering retell, examples of stories modelling the strategy, ideas to help remind students and numerous worksheets for practising the skill.
This unit is a great one to revisit throughout the year to remind students of the 5 finger retell rule and to revise the skill when necessary.
