without reading disabilities.In line with the narrative structures generated by Labov (1972), the story grammar model proposed by Stein and Glenn (1979) has been used most frequently to analyze children’s narratives. Compared to Labov’s narrative structure (1972) which has been developed for analyzing the functional components, the story grammar proposed by Stein and Glenn (1979) provides a more complete framework for analyzing the interrelationships between eposodes. This model shows macrostructure components of a story as well as the semantic interrelationships among the elements. According to Stein and Glenn (1979), a story may consist of one or more related episodes; episodes may be linked additively, temporally, causally, or contractively. A model episode contains some or all of the components, which include setting, initiating event, actions and attempts, consequence, reaction or resolution, and ending.Numerous studies have used the components defined by Stein and Glenn (1979) to analyze the story structure in their research (Applebee, 1978; Gillam, McFadden, & van Kleeck, 1995; Hughes, McGillivray, & Schmidek, 1997; Stein & Glenn, 1979; Westby, 1984). For example, Merritt and Liles (1979) used Stein and Gleen’s (1979) story grammar rule to analyze children narratives. In their study, 20 children with language impairment and normal language (control group) aged raging from 9; 0 to 11; 4 were examined. Both groups of children were asked to generate and retell stories. The results indicated that language-impaired children, compared to the control group, tended to produce stories with fewer complete story episodes, lower mean number of main and subordinate clauses, and also lower frequency of using story grammar components. Moreover, the study further indicated that the two groups did not perform differently in understanding the
