The Expression, Reception, and Recall of Narrative Instrument (ERRNI) provides a rich source of information about children's narrative skills. Two parallel forms are each linked to a sequenced story of 15 scenes. Retell of The Beach Story or The Fish Story is recorded with and without visual cues and a series of comprehension questions are completed. Samples are then transcribed and analyzed. The parallel forms allow for retesting while minimizing practice effect.

The sample provides useful material for qualitative analysis of syntactic structure, hesitation phenomena, and cohesion.

The lack of ceiling effects gives good discrimination throughout the age range. Detailed training examples are provided for transcriptions and coding. The clear colour artwork is suitable for all age groups.
