This easy worksheet keeps story vocabulary moving by tracing story, write, begin, hero, tale, and plot, then asking first graders to finish four sentences in Part B about what a story tells, who the hero is, the beginning-middle-end pattern, and what makes a tale a tale. Part C closes with three true-false prompts that confirm a hero is the main character, push back on the idea that stories do not need a setting, and remind kids they can write a story about animals. The repeated word work helps Grade 1 readers turn unfamiliar terms into ones they can spell and use confidently in their own writing.
