How it works

Order is learned out loud first, then on paper.

1

Tell it out loud

Every story starts as a spoken retell before anything is written.

2

Keep what matters

Learners practice choosing the big events and skipping the extras.

3

Write it short

One sentence each for the beginning, middle and end. Support fades as they grow.

What's inside

6 original stories
Read aloud by a grown-up, each with three short parts.
Number, pick, write
Order the events, choose the big ones, then write beginning, middle and end.
My Own Story pages
The same steps for something from the learner's own life.
Order words card
A cut-apart card with First, Next, Then and At the end.
Grown-up guide
What to say and what to do when they get stuck.
Model answers
For every story, with notes on what else to accept.

Using it

At home

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.

In a classroom

Run it as an intervention, a small group or independent practice. It prints clean on the school copier.

Questions

What grades is this for?

Grades 1 to 3, and older learners who still struggle to retell in order.

Does my learner need to read the stories alone?

No. A grown-up reads each story aloud first. The skill here is ordering and retelling.

Will this work at home and in a classroom?

Yes. Pages work one on one at the kitchen table, in small groups, or as independent practice once the routine is familiar.

Is there an answer key?

Yes. Model answers for every page, with notes on what else to accept.

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.
