We take a holistic and communicative approach to support oral literacy in Preschool targeting the production and comprehension of narratives as a key competence for subsequent reading and writing development. We also aim to examine the role of instruction from a theoretical perspective - explicit versus implicit instruction. Children will be assessed individually through both pre- and postintervention. Multilingual Assessment Instruments for Narratives; (MAIN) will be used for storytelling and story-retelling tasks. We also do video- recorded observations to study the interaction between the participants and the local preschool context.
