Children’s literacy education includes basic lexicon acquisition, reading, and writing. By means of reading lessons and plans, children’s abilities in reading, comprehension, and write can be significantly improved. This essay aimed to explore the meaning of narrative curriculum and its theoretical foundations for classroom use in the context of developing children’s reading skills. The narrative curriculum referred to in this essay focused on texts as a medium for literacy development. The curriculum’s objective was to improve children’s reading comprehension and their narrative skills. This essay also discussed which texts are the most valuable for inclusion in narrative curriculum and the principles of text selection and organization. A narrative curriculum was designed to promote children’s interactions with the text, develop activities to improve their reading, thinking, and narrative skills, as well as to encourage them to develop their critical thinking. This essay drew heavily on narratology, cognitive psychology, and socio-cultural perspectives to elaborate on the qualities of narrative and discusses how these theories could be applied to the objectives, contents, and implementation of narrative curriculum. Factors in the implementation of the curriculum, such as the planning of schedules, were taken into consideration in order to evaluate the current reality of children’s literacy development. The essay also elaborates upon the connection between educators’ lesson plans/teaching strategies and the implementation background so as to effectively achieve the goal of improving students’ literacy.
