Abstract

The development of narrative skills is a key area in speech development. This skill develops immensely when children are at preschool age. The majority of the children get from loosely combined short sentences to the creation of complex and coherent narratives by the end of the kindergarten years. Findings of national and international research show that there are significant individual differences in the production of oral texts among pre-schoolers. Later these differences also influence children’s performance at school. International research shows that it is worth raising awareness of as well as teaching the structure of narratives. This study presents the development of narrative skills at preschool age. In addition, it contains a collection of exercises that may purposefully develop and make children more aware of their story-telling skills.
