Today, we will learn one of the most important

skills in reading and that is retelling.
Retelling events is a skill which we use regularly, such
as telling someone about our day or weekend. It is a
difficult task and requires many smaller skills to be
developed first.

In retelling events, you have to remember or act out all

important events, but it would be better if you can
remember the entire story.
Read the short story below. Choose the best answer for
each question. Write the letters of your answers in your
notebook.
