The purpose of this study examines the impact of an instructional strategy on kindergarten children's narrative skills. The strategy was based on Self-Regulated Strategy Development (SRSD) principles and was adapted for kindergarten children. The sample consisted of 85 children aged 5-6, attending six kindergarten classes in Crete, Greece. The intervention programme was implemented over an eight-week period. After book reading, the experimental group was trained in narrating fictional stories, whereas the control group was led in a brief discussion where they expressed their thoughts about interesting parts of the story. The results showed that the SRSD as a model of instruction helped children assimilate story structure and enabled them to apply it effectively when asked to create a personal or fictional story. The results suggested that the multilevel intervention programme engaging children in various ways (linguistically, cognitively, emotionally) have a positive impact on the development of children's narrative skill.
