gist-700	Pérez, Francisco Antonio; Vargas-Daza, Carolina 	Shaping Narrative Writing Skills Through Creating Picture Books	2019	24	.pdf	application/pdf	8508	304	48	Since both of us as researchers had previous research and academic experience revolving around the implementation of storytelling techniques and particularly of the use of picture book to develop communicative skills, we decided to conduct this qualitative study to make use of this tool to shape fifth graders narrative skills and to see whether their interest in this important language skill could be improved by means of picture books (Yoga, 2013). We acknowledge that the use of pictures books for writing has been widely documented in the field of Spanish as mother tongue by some authors in Colombia such as Triana (2017), who used them to improve guided writing in second grade; Camacho (2016), who attempted to improve fourth graders ‘writing skills through the creation of a picture book; Parra and Salazar (2015),who looked to find out whether constructing a picture book would contribute to strengthening written production of third graders and Melo (2013), who used picture books as spatially integrated multimodal texts to improve written production in third graders.	cache/gist-700.pdf	txt/gist-700.txt
