Summary

Child-focused conversation analysis research on children’s storytelling practices has drawn attention to family, pre- and early school storytelling practices in a variety of contexts and at different ages. The research has been conducted on storybook reading, and on storytelling during family mealtimes, in bilingual settings and during play. It has shed light on displays of children’s interaction skills, and has also shown how storytelling changes across time.
