B-M-E Graphic Organisers | Fairy Tale Plots
, Not Grade Specific,
The collection centres on a consistent beginning, middle, and end framework while varying how learners record the sequence. Foldable pages use solid and dotted guides for creating interactive sections, and repeated story fields keep each organiser usable with a teacher-selected tale. Drawing and writing are both explicitly supported, making the same plot structure accessible across early literacy levels. The resource supplies organisation rather than a predetermined story or completed response.

BED Anchor Chart | Teaching B and D
, Not Grade Specific,
The BED Anchor Chart presents a mnemonic for a common letter reversal. When the word bed is written in order, the tall stem of b appears at the beginning and the tall stem of d appears at the end, with the middle letter forming the mattress-like centre. Learners can recall or gesture the whole word when deciding which letter they see or need to write. The single visual works as a desk reference, wall reminder, or decoding prompt.

Beginning, Middle, and End Worksheet
, Not Grade Specific,
The worksheet is designed for a teacher-read narrative rather than a supplied passage. Learners record the story title, recall what happens at each major stage, and retell the events across beginning, middle, and end sections. The three-part structure helps them preserve chronology while selecting only the important actions. Because the source story remains open, teachers can reuse the organiser with different read-alouds and adjust the writing or drawing expectation.

Beginning, Middle, End Worksheet
, Not Grade Specific,
Beginning-Middle-End gives learners a compact structure for recounting narrative development.

Separate problem and solution fields draw attention to the central conflict and its resolution. The chart can be used after reading or listening to a story, and its labels help students distinguish chronological retelling from simply listing favourite details.
