In research at international level, there are numerous examples of examining narrative skills; however, there is currently no such assessment procedure available in Hungarian. This study presents the adaptation from English into Hungarian of the scoring system of the Narrative Assessment Protocol, which measures narrative skills. 48 preschool children (aged 3—6) participated in the investigation following the methodology of the English-language protocol. The analytical aspects of the experiment included the examination of the structure, chronology, and temporality of the narrated stories, as well as the analysis of story units. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the criteria of the Narrative Assessment Protocol regarding macrostructure are applicable in Hungarian, as well.
