This 4-5 week unit will help you teach your students to write personal narratives (small moments stories) and memoirs!

These lessons first teach students how to write personal narratives. Then, students complete a mini memoir project in which they tell a story from an adult’s childhood.

This unit is designed to be taught toward the beginning or middle of the year but can be used anytime you want to teach students how to write narratives. 

In this unit, students will learn how to:
- Plan and write a personal narrative on a single, focused topic
- Create a strong beginning and ending
- Add details to their writing to show what characters did, felt, and said
- Use temporal words to show the order of events and passage of time
- Choose specific words
- Describe the setting of a story
- Correctly use writing conventions 
- Combine sentences
- Revise and edit independently and with a partner

This unit includes:
- 22 detailed minilessons that will last a little over 4 weeks
- Daily language arts/grammar exercises that complement the minilessons
- Clear unit goals, daily objectives, and Common Core alignment
- Posters, visual aids, and materials to go with the minilessons (all color materials also have black and white versions included)
- Printable writing paper
- A writing stages display and materials to make a genre bulletin board
- A list of mentor texts to accompany the unit 
- FAQs and important information to help you set up the writing workshop
- Rubrics, anecdotal note forms, and other materials to help you get organized 
- A narrative writing rubric that you can use throughout the year
- 155 total pages of materials and resources

As a first year Kindergarten teacher, I was in a panic trying to figure out how to teach the foundations of reading. This club saved my sanity. Not only did I get structured plans but the advice and knowledge of how to apply it all and create my own lessons in the future. This club let me learn with others and improve myself as a teacher. Truly a blessing.

These games are great! I love that there is an assessment with it so I can really see what skills my students need more practice with. Once they learn the games they are able to do them independently as well.

The 1st & 2nd Grade Literacy Club is the perfect supplement for any teacher to up their literacy instruction. My students love the leveled monthly passages, and I love catching up on the recorded ones available through the website. I have used the Intervention Central resources to differentiate for individual students and small groups. I really can't say enough about the amazing resources and like-minded community!

FAQ

My file isn’t printing correctly. How do I fix this?

The vast majority of printing problems can be fixed with the “Print as Image” solution in Adobe Reader! Learn more about how to do that here HERE.

Where can I learn more about your literacy products and how to use them?

We have a free catalog that walks you through my main resources. It can help you decide which resources are right for you and your students! You can grab the catalog HERE.

I teach in a split-grade class (i.e. 1st and 2nd). How should I select products for my students?

Alison always recommends getting the lower of the two grade levels. So if you teach in a 1st and 2nd grade class, get a 1st grade version. You can always differentiate in small groups or 1:1 to challenge your more advanced students!

I teach in Canada and am looking to buy some of your literacy products. How does the Canadian curriculum align to the U.S. curriculum?

Our Canadian customers tell us that it’s best to purchase one grade level down. If you teach first grade, for example, try a Kindergarten product. You can also check the preview file of any resource in our TpT store to see example lessons to help you make your decision!
