Summary/Abstract: The formation of the narrative ability, and the narrative ability of ourselves, has a long way to go. What I investigate is the position of 10-12 year olds in this process. I also ask, how analyses of autobiographies and the structure of narratives can be applied to self-narratives by elementary pupils.The material of my research is data gathered by a study financed by the Ministry of Education, and led by Rita Pletl, that referred to the whole Hungarian school system in Romania. The study meant to measure the knowledge of mother tongue, and has controls in Hungary. Within it, the composing capacities in the he fourth grade of elementary school was measured by „write a tale” free compositions. In my degree paper I analyzed the whole material, 1236 tales with content analysis. My conclusion is, that telling stories about ourselves helps the formation of self-consciousness, of an autobiographical past. Understanding the world, the reality means understanding myself.
