First Grade Reading Comprehension: Beginning, Middle, End Short Stories
Five short stories with a real problem and turning point, so retelling the beginning, middle and end finally makes sense.
How it works
Short, calm stories and three simple questions.
Stories built to retell
Every story has a clear problem and a turning point, so each part has its own answer.
Short on purpose
One page per story, written for readers who tire quickly.
Drawing counts
Learners who are not writing yet can draw each part instead.
What's inside
Using it
Go at your learner's pace, one step or one page at a time. Read the grown-up guide once and you're ready, no teaching background needed.
Run it as an intervention, a small group or independent practice. It prints clean on the school copier.
Questions
Is there an answer key?
Yes, a page of sample answers. Any answer that tells what happened in that part of the story counts.
What if my learner is not writing yet?
Drawing in the boxes counts as an answer, or you can write their words for them.
Can I use this at home and in a classroom?
Yes. One purchase covers one classroom or one family.
How do I get my files?
Right after checkout you'll see download buttons, and we email you a link too. Everything is saved in My Library to re-download anytime.
Will it print in black and white?
Yes. Every page is designed to print clean in black and white on a home printer or a school copier.
Can I use it with a whole class?
Yes. One purchase covers one classroom or one family. Buying for several teachers or a whole school? See school licenses.
What if I have a problem or a question?
Because these are instant digital downloads, all sales are final. If something isn't working the way you hoped, or you have any question at all, email hello@wiggle-wise.com and we'll help.
