Tell Me a Story: Making Opportunities for Elaborated Language in Early Childhood.
Hough, Ruth A.; And Others
Young Children, v43 n1 p6-12 Nov 1987
In a study of what stimuli encourage use of oral language --storytelling--kindergarten to third grade children were asked to "tell a story" about a picture and about an eight-page wordless picture book. Children were also asked to make up an original story of their own. The opportunity to tell their own story elicited the most elaborated language. (BB)
