How to Writing in First Grade - Susan Jones.
Helping your child structure their story from beginning to end is a great way to make the writing process a whole lot easier. Step 1: Think of an idea. A good place to start is by reading a book together. Stop and ask your child to make predictions about how the story might end.
For example, if the book he or she especially enjoyed was a story about the first day of school, ask the child to write a story about her first day of school. Or if the story was a fairy tale, suggest that the child write his or her own version. Use the questions you have asked in Step 3 as a guide to help the child plan the story.

Narrative writing tells a story and typically includes an introduction, plot, setting, characters, climax, and conclusion.

The challenge in teaching first graders to identify a story’s main idea lies in moving them from retelling the entire story. A main idea statement should state only one subject, usually the main character(s) and one verb phrase that describes the story’s most important action.
