The document discusses story grammar, which is a technique used in remedial reading to improve comprehension. It classifies the components of a story into setting, theme, plot, and resolution. Setting establishes the time, location, and characters. Theme introduces the initiating event and internal response. Plot includes the goal, attempt, and outcome of the protagonist's actions. Resolution provides the conclusion. An example analysis of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" is provided to illustrate how story grammar breaks down the elements of a narrative.
