Magic Story Mapping
Magic Story Mapping is a powerful visual comprehension tool that helps children understand, organise, and retell stories with confidence. Using a clear, road-style story map, learners break down a narrative into essential elements such as setting, characters, problem, climax, turning point, resolution, ending, and moral.
Designed byMaster Remedial Specialist Annemarie Roux, this resource supports deep comprehension and higher-order thinking, making it ideal for struggling readers, visual learners, and whole-class literacy instruction. Magic Story Mapping aligns with the Science of Reading, supporting synthesising, metacognition, and executive functioning skills through structured, engaging learning.
Perfect for guided reading, shared reading, intervention sessions, and independent work.
