La narrazione nello sviluppo del bambino

Dolores Rollo

Abstract


Riassunto: Sono numerosi i lavori recenti che riprendono i lavori pionieristici di Bruner e Ninio sulla lettura condivisa di libri di figure, condividendo con i lavori originari l’idea che questa situazione interattiva rappresenti un momento evolutivo importante, in cui il genitore può comunicare sia conoscenze sulle cose che sul modo in cui le cose avvengono. Il format narrativo della lettura condivisa di un libro di figure è stato messo in relazione allo sviluppo del linguaggio, all’alfabetizzazione, ma anche allo sviluppo cognitivo, socio-emotivo e della teoria della mente durante gli anni prescolari. Infatti, la forma narrativa si riferisce ad eventi routinari, dotati di un contesto spazio-temporale, di uno scopo, di una motivazione, di emozioni, una conclusione e una valutazione. Il presente lavoro esplora il format della lettura condivisa di un libro di figure, come un setting sistemico nel quale ci sono tre componenti fondamentali: un book reader, un bambino e un libro.

Parole chiave: Lettura condivisa; Interazione narrativa; Sviluppo infantile; Teoria della mente; Linguaggio.

 

Narrative in Infant’s Development

Abstract: Many recent works recall the pioneering work on joint picture book reading of Bruner and Ninio, sharing with the original study the idea that this interactive situation represents an important developmental event, in which the parent can communicate knowledge about things and the way things happen. The narrative format of joint picture book reading has been linked to children’s language development, print concepts, emergent readings, as well as to cognitive, socio-emotional and theory of mind development during the preschool years. In fact, the narrative form refers to a mundane event, with a specific setting in time and place, recounts a central achievement or goal, its motivation, accompanying emotions, as well as a conclusion and evaluation. The purpose of this study is to explore joint book reading as a systemic context in which there are three fundamental components: a book reader, a child and a book.

Keywords: Joint Picture Book; Narrative; Children’s Development; Theory of Mind; Language.
