Tell Stories (Narrative Skills)
 
Narrative Skills is the expressive part of language. Narrative skills refer to the ability to describe things and events and to tell and retell stories. These skills help develop a child’s comprehension. Help your child develop this skill by:  
Birth to 18 months
 
  • Talking with your baby about what you are doing throughout the day.
  • Showing interest when your child babbles and responding to him.
  • Allowing time for your child to respond to what you say.
19 months to 3 years
  • Asking your child about something specific that happened that day: "What was your favorite animal that we saw at the zoo?"
  • Having your child draw pictures and tell you about them.
  • Allowing time for your child to respond to what you say.
  • Asking 'what' questions, to encourage your child to speak.
3 to 5 years
  • Asking your child to tell you what happened in a book, or pointing out the pictures and letting him make up his own story.
  • Encouraging interaction by asking open-ended questions.
  • Encouraging your child to retell a story or an event in order/sequence – first, then last.
