We sat in wordless contemplation of the view.
First the child was told the story by the experimenter while looking at a wordless picture book that depicted the events and characters in the story.
The well-read-to children also gave richer ' 'readings' ' of the wordless picture book by providing more explicit background information and clearer reference to characters and events depicted.
The narrative tasks employed in this study are more complex than a conversation speech task because the child must coordinate lexical, syntactic, and pragmatic information represented in the wordless storybook.
In order to obtain a measure of the child's language skills, children were asked to provide one or more spontaneous narrative samples using a wordless picture book.
