Effective narration, the telling of stories or recounting of personal experiences, is an art requiring skills that appear crucial for childrenâs language development and literacy acquisition. Developing Narrative Structure, originally published in 1991, served an important purpose because it pulled together the widely scattered literature in the field, exploring the ways in which oral narrative structure develops in children and how it may be facilitated. It presented new empirical studies of the time, on genres of narrative, the role narrative structure plays in emergent literacy, the relationship between narrative language and autobiographical memory, and ways in which teachers and parents facilitate or hinder children's narrative development. The empirical research presented here draws from diverse groups, including Hispanic, African-American, and Anglo-American children from rural and urban America and Canada. Today it can be read in its historical context.
