This easy worksheet builds early narrative vocabulary for kindergartners just starting story writing. Children trace six key story words—once, story, wrote, begin, hero, and place—then complete three fill-in-the-blank sentences about the parts of a story, including beginning, middle, and end. The worksheet finishes with three true-or-false statements that check whether children understand basic story elements like characters and settings in a friendly, low-pressure format.
