“…Oral and written narratives are similar in that both refer to displaced events which have some quality of tangibility. For example, several studies have shown the efficacy of using specific experiences with picture books or informational books to help children create more complex stories ( Pappas, 1993 ; Benson, 1997 ; Geist and Aldridge, 1999 ; Torr, 1999 ; Bavin, 2000 ). In a similar manner, the shared conversational practices within the cultural universal of personal storytelling ( Miller, 1994 ) often consist of frequent caregiver contributions to jog the memories of very young children or to assist them in constructing the story in a culturally appropriate manner.…”

In this article we explore the ways in which three young children from a non-mainstream cultural group created stories with the assistance of their caregivers and siblings in the social contexts of their homes. We assert that these children’s oral narrations show us important dimensions of early experience with decontextualized content as practiced in their families that may offer suggestions for analysis of culturally sensitive experiences with literacy for all children. The dimensions we highlight are the tangibility of the elements around which the story is created, the interlocutor support children receive for beginning and continuing their stories, and the interaction between the storytelling process and the child’s self-interest. These three dimensions illustrate how children “enter” into stories and storytelling and broaden our understanding for fostering culturally sustaining pedagogy within schools.
