Story elements are the building blocks of any story! They help us understand what's happening and why. The most important story elements are the characters (who the story is about), the setting (where and when the story takes place), and the plot (what happens in the story, including the beginning, middle, and end). Recognizing these elements makes reading and understanding stories so much easier and more fun!
