Look at 4 story figures for 'The Ant and the Dove' (1: Ant falls in water, 2: Dove drops leaf, 3: Hunter aims at dove, 4: Ant bites hunter's foot).

Place on Stage Pedestals

Place figures on 4 stage pedestals labeled 1, 2, 3, 4.

Press Story Play Button

Press Play. RFID readers check all 4 pedestals simultaneously. If correct — spotlight turns ON and speaker narrates the story with sound effects!

Self-Correction Feedback

If wrong sequence — Speaker hints: 'Wait! The dove dropped the leaf BEFORE the ant climbed out! Swap pedestals 2 and 3!'

Why It Works & Notes

Understanding narrative sequence (Beginning, Middle, End) is foundational to reading comprehension. RFID pedestals check order automatically — correct sequence unlocks full story audio and stage lighting effects.
