Three Billy Goats Gruff - Retell Activity Cards
Use these fairy tale activity cards to help your students practice retell.
Use this resource to practice retell with your students.
Print out the activity cards on cardstock, cut them out, and store in a resealable bag.
Students must put the picture cards in order based on the literary text, The Three Billy Goats Gruff, and then use the cards to retell the text in a meaningful way.
We have included a set of text cards for students to use as a self-check if you would like.
This activity works great when used as a partner activity in a reading center.
