Sequencing and making a story mountain: 'The Three Billy Goats Gruff'

Retelling a story helps us to remember main events in a story and use storytelling language, such as 'Once upon a time'. Story mountains sequence the beginning, middle and end of a story. Only the most important events in the story need to be on a story mountain. Using words such as 'First,' and 'The next day,' at the start of the sentence helps the reader follow the story. Story mountains can be used to retell the story aloud.
