Abstract

Abstract: Narrative is an important aspect of children's language development. It plays an important role in children's academic learning, especially in reading comprehension. The current review combs the research methods in examining relationship between children's narrative and their reading comprehension, and summarizes the findings in previous studies. Moreover, the studies on improving reading comprehension through narrative intervention are reviewed, thereby discussing future directions of enhancing children's reading comprehension through narrative.

Key words: narrative, reading comprehension, narrative quality, narrative intervention
