Listening skills should be cultivated while children are still young. Since so much of learning happens through direct instruction, students who have not acquired the habit are at a great detriment. Story time can also be an opportunity to increase vocabulary, which makes reading more enjoyable. It’s difficult to enjoy a story that is not understood. Read or play an audio and listen together with your child, stop regularly to check for new words. |
