The influence onthe language development and story comprehension of young children
Purpose
The development of oral language is one of children’s most massive accom-
plishments that occur during the first five years of life
(Genishi, 1988)
LiteratureReview
Influence of Story Reading on Language Development
LiteratureReview
Wells (1986) states that the number of hours a child is read to during their preschool years is the best predictor of the child's later reading achievement in school.
Not only do children acquire language and literacy skills, but they also ex-perience vocabulary growth, knowledge of handling books, and many other skills (Snow, 1983).
Story reading can foster communication opportunities for young children, as they discuss the text and illustrations (Kaderavek & Justice).
LiteratureReview
Influence of Storytelling on Language Development
LiteratureReview
Imaginative development is a key benefit of stories being told (Ellis, 1997).He also suggested that storytelling is the most effective way to develop listening skills.
Both can enhance children's imaginations as well as encourage them to create mental pictures (Aina, 1999). Storytelling, however, seems to require more visual imagination than story reading, because there are no book illustrations to preempt ( 선수치다 )the listeners' attention.
Trostle and Hicks (1998) conducted a study to determine whether children who heard stories told performed better on comprehension and vocabulary tests as com-pared to children who heard stories read.

1) Storytelling particularly helped the children's imaginative recollection of the story.
2) storytelling and story reading are both beneficialto the development of oral language complexity and story comprehension in young children.
3) Combining these approaches could provide powerful literature ex-periences to influence the oral language development and story comprehension of young children – critical factors in their literacy development.
Conclusion
Difference in attention levels between the groups
While presenting stories, the researchers commented that
they “felt sorry for the children in the story reading group,” because they were not being given the same quality of experience as the children in the storytelling group.
Telling group: less easily distracted from the storymore engaged as demonstrated by facial expressions and anticipation displayed
