The immediate effects of pictographic representation on children’s narratives

Teresa Ukrainetz McFadden

University of Wyoming, tumcf{at}uwyo.edu

The pictographic representation of narratives is a useful strategy for both developing language and compensating for weak writing in individual and inclusive language intervention settings. To determine the immediate effects of this strategy, 61 children, aged 7;10-9;1, were taught pictography. They then drafted and told imaginative narratives using one of three notations: writing, art drawing and pictography; and wrote ‘good copies’ of their drafts. The results showed that pictography was faster than the other two representational forms and resulted in longer oral narratives with increased temporal organization. Written good copy narratives showed no differential benefit across representational forms. Lower and higher achieving children showed similar patterns of benefits.
