Retelling Lessons

Explore Retelling Lessons

Retelling serves as a fundamental reading comprehension strategy that helps students demonstrate their understanding of texts by reconstructing narratives in their own words. Wayground's collection of retelling presentations provides educators with comprehensive resources that support concept explanation through visual learning and structured instruction. These presentations guide students through the essential components of effective retelling, including identifying main characters, summarizing key events in sequence, and recognizing important story elements such as setting, problem, and resolution. The visual learning format helps students organize their thinking systematically while developing critical oral communication skills that transfer to written expression and deeper text analysis. Wayground's extensive library draws from millions of teacher-created resources, offering educators robust search and filtering capabilities to locate retelling presentations that align with specific learning objectives and grade-level standards. The platform's differentiation tools enable teachers to customize presentations for diverse learners, supporting both remediation for struggling readers and enrichment opportunities for advanced students. These digital-first resources provide flexible delivery options that accommodate various classroom environments, from whole-group instruction to independent practice stations. Teachers can seamlessly integrate these presentations into their literacy instruction to reinforce retelling skills, support reading comprehension development, and provide structured practice that builds students' confidence in articulating their understanding of increasingly complex texts.
