Numerous studies also demonstrated the correlation among children’s narrative language skills, their literary acquisition and academic performance (Leadholm & Miller, 1995; Paul & Smith, 1993; Torrance & Olson, 1984). For example, the study by Huang and Shen (2003) pointed out that children with higher linguistic ability could perform better in narrating than children with weaker linguistic ability at the same or older ages. The studies reviewed are in line with the findings of Chang’s study (2006) that there are relationship between children’s narrative ability and their academic performances.According to Chang (2006), assessing children’s narrative production may have clinical utility as a criterion-reference measure. Children’s narratives could manifest possible and critical problems in their language development. Several studies have noted that linguistic developmental pro ms could be predicted by or examined through analyzing children’s narratives (Gutierrez-Clellen, 2002; Norbury & Bishop, 2003; Zou & Cheung, 2007). In other words, narratives have become one of the important tools to identify children with language disorders (Norbury & Bishop, 2003; Qi, 2001; Zou & Cheung, 2007).As Norbury and Bishop (2003) pointed out, analyzing narratives is a good method to assess linguistic abilities of older children with communication impairments and with autistic spectrum disorders. In this study, they first mentioned the importance of narrative skills in typical development, and they further explored the relationship between structural language ability and pragmatic competence in children’s narratives. The wordless picture book Frog, Where Are You? (Mayer, 1969) was used to generate children’s narratives during procedures. The outcome showed that children with specific language impairment and autistic disorder made more syntactic errors, and autistic children were more likely to produce ambiguous
