The document provides instructions for teaching a story using the TPRS (Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling) method. It discusses key aspects of TPRS including using comprehensible input, repetition, interest, and limiting vocabulary. It also outlines how to introduce characters, present a problem, have unsuccessful attempts to solve it, and finally resolve the problem. Teachers are instructed to add details, use student actors, and compare/contrast parallel characters.

28. Rule #2: We have 30 seconds to repeat something before it is forgotten.

36. Rule 5: The initial learning is important.

37. One could increase the life span of a memory simply by repeating the information in timed intervals.

38. Rule 6: There are two types of memories

39. 1. Non-declarative These are things learned by feel such as riding a bike, playing the piano, or jumping rope. These memories are not in our conscious awareness. 2. Declarative memories “ The shirt is blue” “ Jupiter is a planet.”

42. In TPRS®, we add as many details as we can.

43. Each detail increases the chance that the students will remember.
