We are going to begin to look at child development this afternoon through the development of narrative skills, which is one of the six pre-literacy skills listed in Every Child Ready to Read. What are narrative skills? Narrative Skills are all about storytelling and understanding how stories work. Narrative skills rely on expressive language skills such as vocabulary use and being able to describe things. As children develop from birth to five they start to think representationally, to make connections between ideas, learn to tell events in order, engage in extended dramatic play, and re-tell and make up stories. Narrative skills are key to later reading comprehension skills and writing skills. What follows is a sequence of videos that represent developmentally responsive activities that build narrative skills for each age group. As you are watching, think about how you could develop a similar string of activities through the age groups that build other pre-literacy, cognitive and social/emotional skills. Appreciation and Enjoyment of Books, or print motivation, means that reading is a pleasurable activity and a way to gain information. Research has linked enjoyment of reading to greater frequency of reading and higher reading levels. Children’s librarians’ unique role is to inspire a love of reading. When librarians have relationships with the children and families who come to their branch they can provide the book that will be most delightful to each child. (Slide of librarian giving child special book.) Expressive language, including vocabulary development, means children’s verbal attempts to communicate. Librarians acknowledge the importance of, as well as model, reciprocal interactions that extend children’s communicative attempts. Phonological awareness is the ability to recognize that words are made up of a variety of sound units. Librarians model interactions that will best support children’s learning at each developmental level. For example, here is a librarian modelling how to use a rhyming song to support toddler’s phonological development. Letter knowledge means letters are different from each other, knowing their names and sounds and recognizing letters everywhere. When librarians create welcoming spaces for children, they give them opportunities to learn about letters in different ways: through puzzles, alphabet blocks, alphabet books, big books and simple words posted at children’s eye level. Print awareness means understanding what print looks like, how it works, and that there is a connection between oral and written language. Librarians use writing as a powerful form of interacting that is available for children at all ages: creating spaces that welcome children to scribble, write their names, and dictate stories. Listening Comprehension is the ability to understand the meaning of words or stories. Children build knowledge by making connections about topics that are interesting to them. Librarians who have relationships with children and families are able to guide them to books that extend their learning. Librarians use open-ended questions in their interactions with pre-school age children to build their comprehension of stories.

This person’s decades long research project – it’s very difficult to get video to show specific skills Video: Infant’s Love of Faces What do you notice happening in this video? Infant develops sequence of events/ cause effect relationship In the online module we learned about serve and return interactions. How are the interactions in this video supporting the infant’s: Curiosity – cause and effect – reaches out to see if he gets the kiss…this leads to prediction, which leads to building stories Initiative Persistence – baby/parent has sustained engagement for a long time. Focusing Attention – building attention – will be able to sit through lit activities when the child is older These approaches to learning allow the infant to continue to develop new skills and knowledge as he grows. Story is “I’m reaching and you’re kissing.” Presenter note: Remember to mention secure attachment and its importance

One year old uses sound to represent intention. Makes prediction about properties of an object/ being. What background knowledge does the toddler draw on in this video? How is this a precursor to being able to tell a story? – make a prediction about what a dog might do in a story. A story for a 1 year old is “A dog walks.” Why is symbolic play with stuffed animals and figures important for the development of narrative skills?

What do children need to know and be able to do to be successful in this experience? What prior experiences are they drawing on? Have to know what a stage, audience and performance are. Have to know the story. Can see these behaviors when kids play @ library Flannel boards, maybe think about acting out a familiar story one week Talking to their parents about retelling stories Importance of repetition General importance of dramatic play why we need environments to encourage this – reference library spaces

- #22 TIME: 30 3:20 FORMAT: Whole group These are the things that are always needed for healthy child develiopment. We just looked at narrative skills, but many overlap and we could do this with each skill (ex. Background knowledge, phonological awareness, etc…) Narrative skills are linked to many other early literacy skills such as expressive language, listening comprehension and background knowledge. We will continue to talk about the development of narrative skills through the other three sessions. There are other early literacy skills that we could have looked at in equal depth. These include, but are not limited to, vocabulary, phonological awareness, print concepts, letter knowledge, communication skills, and writing. As you develop your practice as an early literacy specialist, take time to learn about the emergence of these skills. Early language and literacy is always supported when families, caregivers and community members take time to form relationships with children, interact with them in developmentally responsive ways, and create warm and engaging spaces for them to learn and play in.
