Benefits of interactive narrative 

Here  I am looking for evidence to back up my report, I have started off my research by looking at different journals. I have started off placing the research on here then continued with it on the report.  everything I have researched after this has been referenced and placed within the submitted report.

"Storytelling, meant as the  process of creating narrative
structures or of engaging with them, is pervasive in many
aspects of children’s life. In early childhood (e.g., at
kindergarten or at home), storytelling is a means to support
children’s development, to help them express and assign
meaning to the world, to develop communication,
recognition, and recall skills, and to enforce their
relationships with peers and adults. From primary to high
school, storytelling activities are proposed to students in
order to improve their linguistic and literacy skills, and to
foster their ability of interpretation, analysis, and synthesis.
For disabled children, the storytelling paradigm is used in
different forms to support the development of a wide
spectrum of cognitive functions and skills. Theme parks
and museums often offer storytelling opportunities to
engage young visitors and make their visit more
educational and enjoyable."
