Suggestions for Books at Various Stages of Narrative Development
A. For students currently producing narratives at the Heaps stage, provide books at the Sequence level, in which there is a recurring theme but the order of events doesn’t matter.
The Snowy Day Ezra Jack Keats The House that Jack Built Paul Galdone The Gingerbread Boy Paul Galdone Kind Bidgood’s in the Bathtub Audrey and Don Wood
B. For students currently producing narratives at the Sequence stage, provide books at the Primitive Narrative level, which have a main theme and involve some understanding of attempts and actions and ability to interpret events.
George and Martha James Marshall Rotten Ralph Jack Gentos Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible Judith Vorst No Good, Very Bad Day Kevin’s Grandmother Barbara Williams Mr Happy; Mr. Fussy; Mr. Bounce, etc Roger Hargraves Alice Gets Ready for School Cynthia Jabar
C. For students currently producing narratives at the Primitive Narrative stage, provide books at the Chain level, which involve some understanding of cause-effect and character motivation:
Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People’s Ears Vernal Ardema The King’s Tea T.H. Nonle If I Had Mercer Mayer Just for You Mercer Mayer Keep your Mouth Closed, Dear Aliki If you Give a Mouse a Cookie, etc. Laura Numeroff
D. For students functioning at the Chain stage, provide books with a simple True Narrative structure, plots that have character development, sequences of actions motivated by character’s goals and plans, and a resolution of the story’s problem.
Bread and Jam for Francis Russell Hoban Ira Sleeps Over B. Waber Owl at Home Arnold Lobel Elbert’s Bad Word Audrey Don Wood Fantastic Mr. Fox Roald Dahl
