Children encounter narratives at home, in school, and across social interactions. They produce narratives to express thoughts and feelings about experiences and events that are real or imagined. Narrative skills are believed to form the bridge between oral language and literacy. The narrative performance of children with specific language impairment (SLI) reveals a general capacity delay producing narratives. The purpose of this investigation was to examine the effect of an individualized narrative-based intervention, Story Champs on narrative retell skills in students ages 5 to 7 with SLI.
