Narration as an Aid to Language Acquisition and Access to Literacy.

Karnoouh-Vertalier, Martine

European Early Childhood Education Research Journal, v5 n2 p61-74 1997

Discusses the role of narration in the adapted verbal interactions between child and adult that help children acquire and master language, from birth on. Notes that, when a child attempts to retell stories read aloud, he or she can progressively master the kind of syntactically structured and decontextualized language necessary for access to literacy.
