Abstract
Children’s joyful engagement with storytelling in the early years offers opportunities for the development of strong dispositions for storying expertise and supports early literacy practices through play with words and storyline construction (Ministry of Education. (1996, 2017). Te Whāriki. He whāriki mātauranga mō ngā mokopuna o Aotearoa. Early childhood curriculum. Learning Media., 2017). This chapter will report on a three-year study that explored young children’s narrative and storytelling experiences from preschool to the early years of formal schooling in New Zealand, focussing on one child’s journey to reveal their enduring interest in storytelling over time. A conversation analysis approach and multimodal analysis are used to transcribe video-recorded storytelling moments, providing detailed insight into the ways in which our focus child co-constructs stories through emotional engagement across the two settings over three years. Attention is given to orientation to physical resources such as storytelling shells, puppets and books, as well as verbal supports from interested others that extend the focus child’s storytelling expertise. The chapter concludes by discussing how each temporal moment of engagement in storytelling activity builds a series of positive encounters, which connect together over time to produce a strong disposition to engage in lifelong storytelling activities. Our focus child’s enduring interest in emotional engagement in storytelling increasingly strengthens her identity as a competent and capable storyteller.
