In this video, students learn how to write a letter to their teacher about the book they are reading with a sentence for each of the fingers of the five finger retell.  The five finger retell includes: setting, characters, problem, events (beginning, middle, and ending), and solution.  The teacher models writing an example reading letter to show how to think through the process one finger at a time. She demonstrates using the book Misty of Chincoteague (a book the class had recently read aloud).
