Understanding the 5W Strategy

Hayley Hunt from the Health Education Center introduces strategies to enhance literacy success using the 5W questions: who, what, when, where, and why. These questions help children understand narrative texts by focusing on characters, settings, and events. The video explains how to use index cards for organizing thoughts and encourages summarizing stories, chapters, and media using the 5W framework. The strategy aims to make learning engaging and effective, with additional resources available for further exploration.
