El siguiente articulo muestra un retrato de como los mas pequenos pueden desarrollar sus capacidades para construir mensajes audiovisuales con una logica narrativa. Una seleccion de varios ejemplos, producto de talleres de alfabetizacion audiovisual infantil, sirven de modelo para dar a conocer la practica del formato grafico del Story Board. Se trata de una forma atractiva de hacer comprensibles los fundamentos basicos de la narrativa audiovisual a chicos a partir de los 7 anos de edad. Sus primeros garabatos van esquematizando ideas, a menudo creativas, en cada cuadro de un Story Board que ha sido ideado por ellos mismos.
