PD # 14 STORY STICKS


Click to View PD #14 - Story Sticks

Good readers are active readers and they are always looking for information. These story sticks will prompt children to listen carefully so they can identify the story elements.

What? jumbo craft sticks, sock, markers


How? Write story elements (Who? What? Where? When? Why?) on sticks with a marker. Place the sticks in the sock and throw the sock over your shoulder before you begin to read. After reading the story, let different students choose a stick and tell that part of the story.

*Make another set of sticks that say “Title,” “Author,” “Illustrator,” “Problem,” “Solution.” 



*Write “Setting,” “Characters,” “Beginning,” “Middle,” “End” on sticks.

Who? What? Where? When? Why?
Sing this song to the tune of “Ten Little Indians” before reading a story so children will be looking for the information:
Who? What? Where? When? Why?
Who? What? Where? When? Why?
Who? What? Where? When? Why?
Ask questions when you read.

I've Got the Whole Story in My Hand
On the fingers of a cotton glove write: "Who?" "What?" "Where?" "When?" "Why?"
Sing this song to the tune of "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands."
I've got the whole story in my hand.
I've got the whole story in my hand.
I've got the whole story in my hand
And I can read.
I've got the "Who?" "What?" "Where?" "When?" "Why?"
I've got the "Who?" "What?" "Where?" "When?" "Why?"
I've got the "Who?" "What?" "Where?" "When?" "Why?"
And I can read.
