📚 Topic Summary: Understanding Story Setting
The setting of a story is simply where and when the story takes place! Think of it like this: Where are the characters? Are they at school, at the park, or in their house? When is the story happening? Is it daytime or nighttime? Is it during summer or winter? Knowing the setting helps us imagine the story better and understand what's happening. For kindergarteners, we focus on noticing simple places and times in the stories we read!
