Map the story
After every read-aloud, fill in a story map together: characters, setting, problem and solution. Use the same organizer every time so the boxes become automatic. Soon kids start filling it in in their heads while they read.
Why it works: children learn more from words and pictures together than from words alone (Mayer, 2009).
