“…Producing oral narratives requires cognitive and linguistic skills to organize multiple sentences (Peterson & McCabe, 1994) and sociocognitive skills such as emotion recognition and perspective taking (Curenton, 2006;Schick & Melzi, 2010). Early skill in oral narrative has been linked with later reading comprehension (e.g., Feagans & Farran, 1994;Griffin, Hemphill, Camp, & Wolf, 2004;Hester, 2010;Klecan-Aker & Caraway, 1997), reading fluency (e.g., Reese, Suggate, et al 2010), and vocabulary and emergent literacy skills, such as print concepts and phonological awareness (e.g., Tabors, Roach, & Snow, 2001). These associations suggest that the ability to share coherent, well-developed narratives is important for reading development (Boudreau, 2008;Curenton, 2006;Curenton & Justice, 2004;Dickinson & McCabe, 2001).…”
