How this resource helps
Story Path: Retell Two Tiny Adventures gives Kindergarten learners a focused route from explicit modeling to supported practice and independent application. Read one story aloud twice before questioning. A retell says what happened, in order, and includes the important problem and ending. Model first, next, and finally. Children may speak, draw, or act. Adults record dictated words; do not score handwriting or decoding.

Listen to the adult, then speak, point, draw, or act your response. Ask to hear the words or story again.
Teaching suggestions
Model the two examples; use tasks 1–4 as a readiness check. Assign four tasks per practice block, then use the independent exit responses to select a specific reteaching move. For extended writing, supply separate paper. Keep answer pages separate.
