Words from the Principal - Creating a time for parents and children to read together

In the activity room, a group of children were listening attentively to the story. With her soft and sweet voice, Lily's mom was telling the story "Little Blackie Makes a Friend", which attracted the children's visual and auditory nerves.

Children just love to listen to stories. Whenever and wherever there is a story being told, it always attracts children to gather. Every Monday, teachers take turns telling stories at Morning Glory. Whether the story is light and funny, witty and sensitive, or has a sense of justice, it attracts the children's curiosity, and even if the storyteller makes it up at random, the children love it. As the storyline develops, they will immediately react with a variety of knowledge or feelings. They can experience a variety of emotions such as happiness, sadness, horror, laughter, and uneasiness, and even show their emotions along with the story, and follow the storyteller's topic to enter a world they have never experienced before.

Listening to stories develops children's imagination, reading skills, concentration and good character.

Listening to stories is the learning of auditory ability, and auditory ability is significantly related to reading ability. The steps of learning are: Listening→Speaking→Reading→Writing. Auditory vocabulary comprehension, which is also known as oral comprehension, has a high correlation and predictive power for reading comprehension; and research has also demonstrated that the younger the child is on the learning pipeline, the more the degree of auditory comprehension far exceeds visual reading ability. Therefore, the order of learning - listening, speaking, reading and writing is based on the fact that before children can read and understand words, they are already learning quickly through hearing, and hearing is the earliest development of the sensory organs.

Listening to, reading, and telling stories is an essential part of the reading learning process in the development of young children's reading skills.

If you want your child to love reading, and you want your child to develop good character and great ability, you don't have to be nice, you don't have to preach, you just have to read a storybook. Parents should not miss this happy time to share love and wisdom with their children before school.

Have you read to your child two days a week? Of course, parents can increase the number of times they read together.

Peace and happiness.
