This hard worksheet pushes kindergartners past tracing into thinking about how stories work. Four multiple-choice questions ask children to name the person in a story (a character), identify which part comes first (the beginning), choose where a story takes place (the setting), and decide what a hero does (solves the problem).

Five fill-in-the-blank sentences then complete ideas about the end of a story, the setting as the place it happens, characters as the people in it, problems that need to be solved, and the title that tells what a story is about. The page builds vocabulary kindergartners need before writing narratives.
