Start with a simple and fun idea that kids can relate to. Make the characters friendly and the plot easy to follow. Use short sentences and colorful descriptions.
Well, for elementary students, keep it short and engaging. Focus on familiar themes like friendship or school. Add some pictures or illustrations to make it more appealing.
There was a rabbit that was very smart. One day, he met a fox. The fox asked the rabbit,"why are you so smart?" The rabbit replied,"Because I ate a lot of smart food." "Then you should be smarter," said the fox,"so that you can be as smart as me." The rabbit thought for a moment and then said to the fox,"Then I will eat more smart food."
So the rabbit began to eat smart food and soon became smarter. When the fox saw this, he asked the rabbit,"Do you think you are getting smarter after eating so much?" The rabbit replied,"Yes, I'm getting smarter, but I'm a little stupid now." "It's because you ate too much," said the fox."Your body needs rest."
The rabbit felt that the fox's words made sense. Therefore, it decided to reduce its food intake so that its body could rest. After a few months, the rabbit became healthier but dumber. When the fox saw it, he asked the rabbit,"do you think you've become smarter?" The rabbit replied,"You're still as smart without me." "It's because you eat too little and your body doesn't get enough rest," said the fox.
This story tells us that intelligence is not built by eating, but by rest and the right way of learning.
First, read the story carefully. Identify the beginning, middle, and end. Focus on what the story is mainly about and who the main characters are. Then, put those important parts together in short sentences to make the summary.
An example of a school short story suitable for elementary school students is as follows:
Xiao Ming is a primary school student. He likes to play in the school very much. One of his favorite things was running. He would run a few laps on the field every day.
In Xiaoming's class, there was a girl called Xiao Hong. She was very smart and kind, and always gave Xiaoming encouragement and help. Xiao Ming and Xiao Hong became good friends. They often played and studied together.
One day, Xiao Ming and Xiao Hong were playing together on campus. They ran and ran until they reached a tree. Xiao Ming suddenly stopped and saw a card under the tree. He picked up the card and wrote," Go Little Ming!"
Xiao Ming thought, This must be written by Xiao Hong. She's so smart. She'll definitely think of something good to write for me. So he picked up the card and continued running.
He ran to the door of the classroom and saw the teacher. He stopped and asked the teacher nervously,"Teacher, I'm tired. Can I take a break?" The teacher smiled and said,"Of course, Xiaoming." We can rest while playing in school. It's fine if you continue running."
Little Ming continued to run, feeling much better. He ran to the field and saw that the other students were also resting. Xiao Ming was very happy that he felt that everyone was very good.
In the end, Little Ming ran to the class and saw Little Red. Xiao Hong was looking at her watch when she saw Xiao Ming. She said happily,"Xiao Ming, you're finally here!" Let's play together!"
Xiao Ming and Xiao Hong played together. They sang, danced, and told stories. They spent a pleasant afternoon until it was getting dark.
Xiao Ming and Xiao Hong learned to help and support each other, and their friendship became stronger. Through this experience, Xiaoming realized that he could not only learn knowledge in school, but also make new friends and enjoy a happy time.
