READING think “3” . . .
Does your young author dream of seeing
their stories published? Help make
her writing first-rate by teaching her the magic number
“3”.
• Stories have three parts: a beginning, where the
reader meets the characters; a middle, where the
characters try to solve a problem; and an end,
which tells the reader how the problem was
solved.
• Stories need three things: characters, a setting (a
place where it happens), and a problem to solve.
• Stories are more interesting when characters are
given three opportunities to solve a problem,
rather than solving it on the first go. Encourage
your youngster to brainstorm three possible
solutions for her characters to try.
Dear Washington Elementary Families
