Pilot study shows dynamic assessment predicts narrative skills in French-speaking children with language disorder, indicating potential for early intervention.
= 9;5) completed a DA with a pre-test/teaching/post-test procedure, followed by a Delayed Post-test (DP) 12 weeks later. In pre-, post-test and DP, children engaged in a story generation (Story 1) and two story-retellings (Stories 2 and 3). The teaching phase of the DA targeted macro- and microstructure of Story 2. Our results showed that our DA of narrative enabled the prediction of DP scores 12 weeks later, only by considering macrostructure. As for microstructure, the pre-test of our DA was the best predictive measure. Our study adds to the existing literature on predictors of narrative skills.
