Narrative Development Flashcards
how can we assess narrative comprehension?
read a story/passage and simply ask related questions
how can we assess inferential comprehension?
informally ask students to explain why characters behaved as they did, how did the character feel? what were their intentions?
personal narratives
ask the child to recount a salient personal experience
script narrative
require the child to relate a routine series of events
fictional narrative
with visual support, have the child create their own story
what do children with language learning disorders typically exhibit in narrative production
- less mature narrative story
- less organized
- lower productivity
- less precise vocab
cohesive ties
linguistic markers that bind sentences together to make them an integrated discourse unit rather than a series of unrelated events
