How to Teach Beginning, Middle, and End | Writing About Reading

Teaching beginning, middle, and end may sound a lot like teaching sequencing, but there is an important difference. When students sequence events, they learn to put what happened in the correct order. When students identify the beginning, middle, and end, they take that thinking one step further by deciding which events matter most.

In this episode of The Education Connection, we continue our Writing About Reading series by looking at how to explicitly teach beginning, middle, and end to young readers and writers.

We'll talk about helping students move from retelling every little thing that happened to identifying the three most important parts of a story: what gets the story started, the big event or events in the middle, and how the story turns out.

You'll also hear practical ideas for modeling this skill, practicing it orally, and helping students move from telling their ideas to writing them.

Because before our students can successfully write about what they read, they need to know how to decide what really matters.

🎧 Join me for How to Teach Beginning, Middle, and End as we continue building the skills young students need to become thoughtful readers and confident writers.
