Six-year-olds learn about main characters and recognising problems and solutions in stories today. When I was six I was busy creating problems, not analysing text. Here is our six-year-old muse’s first attempt at a story arc:
One day the monster came.
He came on a sunny day.
He came from a castle.
He was fun.
He was a Dad.
But he was a monster.
It was his birthday.
But he was near road works.
He fell in a hole.
The end.
