Baby/Toddler Storytime @ Milliken Mills: Narrative Skills / I Can Tell a Story!

Narrative Awareness is being aware of the structure of a story. Knowing that a story has a beginning, a middle and an end, how to describe things, and expressive language are all narrative skills. Developing narrative skills will help your child with reading comprehension or understanding what they read. To develop these skills at home, interact with your child by asking questions and narrate what the two of you are doing together. Look for books and rhymes with simple cause and effect plotlines, cumulative tales, repetitive phrases or repetition as part of the story.
