Abstract
This qualitative research, hermeneutic and analysis of narrative texts was held with a group of preschool children in a laboratory school of the University of Puerto Rico. The purpose of this study was to explore and analyze how preschool children structure and construct meanings through their narrative texts. It highlights their narrative procedures (themes, coherence, cohesion, connector elements, and the relationship of their social/cultural activities experiences for the construction of their meanings) and predominant narrative structures at this age. The unit of study was the narrative that the child told the investigator to be orally transliterated. To gather information from narrative texts the researcher used participant observation, the transcripts, audio recordings and semistructured interviews with children, parents and teachers in order to answer the research questions.
