A Literacy Narrative is essentially “your story” as a reader. Think about how you first learned to read, any initial favorite books/stories, impact of school on you as a reader.
Remember, the goal is to tell a story!
This should be about 2 pages in length.
The title changed about what you going to write about.
 Introduction: Must include a story to interest the
reader to go further
 Each body paragraph must tell one point of the
story (not all points) and needs specific details.
 Remember, you MUST SHOW ME! As a reader, I
was not present during the time this event
happened.
 Conclusion: Must sum up why this event was
important, what the reader can learn from your
experience, etc.
A well-told story
 The story must start with a situation and the reader needs
to read the entire essay to see how it resolved (Think
about it like a movie or TV show)
 Vivid detail
 SHOW ME! Really think about Who, What, When, Where,
Why, and How
 Think about how to engage the reader’s 5 senses (smell,
touch, taste, hear, see)
 Some indication of why this story is important
 Make clear why this story matters to you and what the
reader can relate to or gain from this knowledge
