Story Retell Practice

Read the story. Then answer the questions and retell what happened.

The Wobbly Robot

At the library makerspace, Wyatt and Isabella built a small robot from cardboard, wheels, and a motor. When they switched it on, the robot rolled in a circle instead of going straight. Isabella noticed that one of its wheels needed tightening. Wyatt tightened it, and they tried again. This time, the robot rolled across the table and stopped beside a stack of books. The two friends smiled and left their robot on a display shelf in the library makerspace.
