Recognizing that a story includes major elements such as setting, characters, and an initiating event helps readers connect a story’s components and engage more deeply with the text. Research has shown that when students can identify and understand story grammar elements, they better comprehend narrative texts, make predictions, and recall and summarize key information. Learn how to implement this timeless, evidence-based comprehension tool to bolster your student’s comprehension today. Read more.
