End Notes

1 (Brown & Cambourne, 1987, p. 48)

2 It is important to distinguish here between drawing a scene from the story and drawing only the setting in order to verbally retell the story using cut-out characters. Children who engage in oral retelling recalled much more than those who simply use drawing as a prompt (Gambrell et al., 1985). Therefore, the combination of illustration and verbal retelling is especially helpful for some children.
