Narrative thread

Okay kiddo, do you remember when we read that story about the little piggy who went to the market? Well, that story had a narrative thread. A narrative thread is like a string that connects all the parts of a story together.

Just like how we tie different beads together with a thread to make a pretty necklace, the writer uses a narrative thread to join different events of the story, so we can understand what is happening when.

That thread is what keeps us interested in the story, so we keep reading to find out what happens next. It helps us to remember what happened before and guess what could happen next.

In simple words, a narrative thread is like a path that the author uses to guide us through a story. Without this path, the story would be confusing and hard to follow.
