Year 1: Retelling a Story with our Twinkl Teaches lessons

Are you looking for a set of lessons that can help you to teach children core story skills? Well, Twinkl Teacher Mr O’Gorman has everything you need in this series of Twinkl Teaches English video lessons!

Including retelling traditional tales, ordering the events of a story, and writing sentences using simple connectives, these short lessons are perfect for recapping storytelling with your child or even for homework!

In Lesson 1, Mr O’Gorman shows children how to tell a story aloud using exciting voices. Then, children have the chance to order the events of the traditional tale, The Three Little Pigs to show off their own retelling skills. Want to get started straight away?

In Lesson 2, children learn to add more detail to their story retelling using words like “and”, “but”, “first”, “next” & “After that”. Access Lesson 2 on the Twinkl Teaches website using this link ➡
