Why do I need them?

The SALT Narrative Story Retell database, which comes with the English, Research, Instructional, and Student versions of the SALT software, includes story retell samples elicited from students in preschool through 4th grade using these books. Samples elicited using the same protocol may be compared to age or grade-matched peers selected from this database.

What is included?

  • 1 copy of the wordless picture book Frog, Where Are You? (Mercer Mayer, 1969) for preschool through 1st grade
  • 2 copies (an examiner copy and a student copy) of Pookins Gets Her Way (Helen Lester, 1987) for 2nd graders
  • 2 copies (an examiner copy and a student copy) of A Porcupine Named Fluffy (Helen Lester, 1986) for 3rd graders
  • 2 copies (an examiner copy and a student copy) of Doctor DeSoto (William Steig, 1982) for 4th graders

Why are there two copies of most of the books?

The first book, Frog, Where Are You?, is a wordless picture book used both for providing the model and prompting for the student's narrative retell.

asteriskThe other three books contain words. The examiner copy is used to read the story to the student. The student copy, which has all the words neatly covered with blue tape, is used to prompt for the student's retell.
