Description

Development of narrative discourse (8 to 15 years)

Age Group : from 8 to 15 years

It includes guides and outlines with explanations for each level. You will find three levels of increasing difficulty. Each of them presents work steps, worksheets for description and verification, activities and dozens of stories.

The most advanced exercises provide children with the opportunity to create their own stories by modifying pre-existing stories, specifying the spatial-temporal context, developing characters, finding inspiration in a simple image, constructing an outline, etc.

Finally, in this book you will find numerous activities in the form of cards, for vocabulary (including logical connections), incomplete stories to be continued, outlines to fill in, etc.

The narrative discourse of children through 5th grade (included) is characterized by the following:

  • spatial-temporal context and characters,
  • a succession of events in chronological order,
  • a conclusion.

The narrative discourse for older children, from 6th to 9th grade, is characterized by the following:

  • the use of dialogue, rhythm, and description to develop the characters in a story,
  • the use of logical connections (words and expressions that ensure the transition between ideas),
  • a conclusion that results from the story.

High school students develop narration characterized by the following:

  • character reflection,
  • the creation of a problem, situation and/or observation involving the reader,
  • a particular tone.

This book can be utilized by speech-language pathologists, specialized teachers, educators, and specialized education centers.

Writing is a solitary affair, and that's something I enjoy most of the time. Of course, I equally enjoy the company of my young and older students.

I started working as a speech therapist in 2000. Thirteen years later, I wrote the first book. I wanted to share the knowledge and personal experience I have gained over the years. I have not stopped writing since then, and at the same time, I continue to practice my profession. One complements the other. The children show me the way, and I join them in easy and challenging paths.

Troppo semplice

Il manuale di esercizi potrebbe avere un grande potenziale, ma le storie vanno bene per una età inferiore perchè troppo brevi e semplici

Très peu de matériel disponible pour améliorer cette compétence chez les enfants et les ados. Les enfants arrivent rapidement à intégrer le schéma narratif à l'aide de la procédure appliquée, je recommande!

Une ressource pertinente

Je suis psychologue, j'utilise le livret en séance individuel comme en groupe avec un public TSA. Il peut s'adapter à un bon nombre de profil car la difficulté est graduelle et s'adapte au plus grand nombre. L'impression est de bonne qualité.

Développement du discours narratif

L’outil permet de travailler progressivement mais il y a certaines pages qui concentrent beaucoup d’informations et qui mériteraient d’être moins surchargées visuellement.

Testo sul linguaggio narrativo

Il libro è ben strutturato e promuove la comprensione e la riflessione sulle parti principali di un testo narrativo. Facilita l’identificazione delle diverse parti del racconto e può essere usato per stimolare l’esposizione orale dopo aver dato ordine alla sequenza degli avvenimenti. Ho appena iniziato ad usarlo, ma mi sembra valido!

Πολύ προσεγμένη δουλειά

Ολοκληρωμένο πρόγραμμα παρέμβασης. Η σειρά των ασκήσεων οδηγεί σταδιακά το παιδί να αναπτύξει ή να τελειοποιήσει τον αφηγηματικό του λόγο.

Πολυ χρησιμο εργαλειο βοηθαει στη βελτιωση της δομης του λογου των παιδιων προφορικου και γραπτου με ασκησεις που γινονται βημα βημα. Σημαντικο οτι καλυπτει μεγαλυτερο ευρος ηλικιων, οχι μονο μια ταξη.

Συμπληρωματικό υλικό αλλά απαραίτητο

Το βιβλίο καλύπτει κάποια κενά της βασικής εκπαίδευσης και βελτιώνει τη ποιότητα του γραπτού και του προφορικού λόγου του παιδιού.

Development of narrative discourse

I enjoy the content, I would like more ideas of how to keep the motivation for the student, so it becomes more play/fun rather than work/school based.
