Using Story Retelling Wheels with Young Learners
Baker, Lottie
English Teaching Forum, v59 n3 p14-24 2021
In this article, the author describes how to use "story retelling wheels" as scaffolding devices to support young learners as they develop the important skill of being able to retell stories that they have heard and comprehended. This tool can be adapted to meet young learners at different English language and literacy levels. It requires only paper and pencil, making it an ideal resource for classrooms with limited materials. There is no need to wait until learners acquire enough English to produce flawless retellings. Instead, imperfect retellings with the support of scaffolding instruments can push learners to develop English and have fun at the same time.
