Listening to Stories
Naomi Booth :: Wednesday 21st August 2024 :: This Story
Like children everywhere our Ocean Stars preschool children love listening to stories. When volunteers visit and read stories to our students, we read in English which is often their second or third language. Teachers help us to translate the story, and the children love looking at the pictures. The children at our Colombo preschool enjoyed listening to a story recently and one of them came up to the front and related the story in her own words! Listening to stories helps to develop children's listening and attention skills as well as assists with their hearing language sounds, which will help them to learn to read in the future.
