ABSTRACT

This chapter focuses on a narrative intervention programme to enhance the understanding and facilitating the expression of narratives or stories in students with varied speech, language and communication needs in the later primary years and in secondary schools. It details the fourteenth session of the programme. In this session, the facilitator need to read the first sentence to students, who are then asked to come up with ideas about what may happen next. The main aim of this session is to ensure students understand the importance of the logical ordering of sentences and how the first sentence needs to come first, and the sentence following it, is the logical consequence of the first sentence. Facilitator will find a number of sequence stories with different sequence cards per story. They need to begin with the easiest story, that is, with the least number of cards and build up to the stories with more sequence cards.
