middle and end of the story.

of the story tell how a
character’s problem is

Drawing Conclusions
• Authors don’t always come right out and
tell you everything in a story.
• Sometimes you are given clues. Like a
detective, you have to use the words and
pictures to figure out the story!
The order that events take place
is called Sequence.
Words like first, next and last
help readers figure out the
order of events. Good readers
pay attention to the order in
which things happen.
