Abstract
24 first-grade children were read prose and verse versions of simple narratives, after each of which they were asked to recall details of the narratives and to sequence five pictures depicting events in the story. Children recalled as much from verse as prose versions. They were much better able to do the sequencing task, however, when the story was in verse.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
