Parents are the
biggest advocates we have in the eternal battle of encouraging children to read.
By gaining parents’ support, we have a better chance of capturing the child. In storytelling , the
usual norms of time, place and identity are temporarily suspended as, for
example, in a story which spans a hundred years yet takes three minutes to tell.
As a part of the Literacy week Grade 3X was fortunate enough to have 2
parent volunteers…..Ms. Pooja and Ms. Mallika.
Ms. Pooja read the story ‘Rumour’ – a humorous Indian folktale.
Ms. Mallika read out a book that had a story for every day in an year. It provided a natural, relevant and enjoyable context for exposure to language and an opportunity to familiarize children with the sounds, rhythm and intonation of English. Stories REALLY help children to develop concentration skills and also aspects of emotional intelligence, such as empathy and relating to other people. The content that the stories had was relevant, interesting, appealing and memorable and of course the illustrations, visuals were attractive and supported children’s understanding.
