Why the 5 Finger Retell is Perfect!
The 5 finger retell is a simple and memorable framework that helps students organize their thoughts about a story. It breaks down the story into manageable components for little learners. This strategy also promises active reading and comprehension; by summarizing key elements, students are encouraged to think critically about the story’s structure and content.
The 5 finger retell is also a fantastic tool for developing oral communication skills as students learn to articulate the story’s key points in a structured way.
