Summary "This book is divided into three main parts: (1) parent-child coconstruction of narrative, which focuses on aspects of the social interaction that facilitate oral narrative development in Spanish-speaking children; (2) development of independent narration by Spanish-speaking children; and (3) narrative links between Latino children's oral narration and their early literacy and other school achievements. Chapters address narration to and by Latino children aged 6 months to 11 years old and in low, middle, and upper socioeconomic groups. Nationalities of speakers include Costa Rican, Dominican, Ecuadorian, Mexican, Peruvian, Puerto Rican, Venezuelan, and Spanish-English bilingual children who are citizens or residents of the United States. Narratives studied include those in conversations, personal and fictional stories, and those prompted by wordless picture books or videos. Thus, the current project makes central diversity in nationality, socioeconomic background, and genre of narrative."--Jacket.
