Ready to transform your story elements instruction without adding one more thing to your already packed teaching day?

Imagine your students eagerly identifying characters, settings, and problems while you read aloud—no separate worksheet time needed! In this episode, I'm sharing 10 incredible picture book mentor texts that make teaching story elements feel natural and engaging for grades K-3.

From Jeremy's shoe dilemma in "Those Shoes" to Lilly's purple plastic purse drama, these books do the heavy lifting for you. I'll walk you through exactly why each story works so well for story elements instruction, giving you the confidence to dive deeper into characters, settings, problems, and solutions with books your students will absolutely love. Plus, you'll discover how these same mentor texts can support multiple reading skills throughout the year—because we know how important it is to maximize every resource in our teaching toolkit!
