The stories and the interaction between the sender and the listener for language stimulation - Part III
Stories are one of the greatest speech stimulants for children; The emission and reception through the reading and interpretation of the stories makes children learn through fantasy, but a fantasy that comes alive and becomes the reality of speech.
Instruction in language learning is very important to complement development in children, towards adulthood.
A good reader is also a good listener; Learning through a story, from a narrative well told in understandable words, without hindrance, is learning that helps to absorb truthful and accurate information so that children can later develop better.
Pronouncing words is not just that, it is having the capacity to understand what reading and narration themselves want to provide.
Strategic activity
The strategy is based on making the activity something meaningful and fun at the same time, because a child who is not motivated will never take the initiative himself, he will feel stagnant and empty, but if he is stimulated from the point of view that is surprising, that the strategy more and more adds something that pleases, then the motivation on the part of the child will be better, his ability to understand, paraphrase, speak, listen and attend will be better because the child wants it.
Interactive reading activity with gestural and sound animation.
The important thing about the activity is to encourage the pronunciation of speech in any way possible.
How does the storytelling strategy help?
- Help children if they do not speak, give for example: a sign.
- Any verbal emission.
With the activity of the story, verbal communication and gestural signals are encouraged in the child.
When reading to children, we must also use words in the midst of dynamics, functional words that meet some objective.
Functional words, which determine something specific, are very useful for children's development, they make it more precise. In the strategic story reading activity, you can use, for example:
- Costumes alluding to what the story is about.
- Exemplary objects from the same story.
The idea is that the child also has the participation and the role of narrating, so that he learns to translate it in his language, until he can pronounce the words correctly and narrate the events.
When the child understands and feels the need to express himself then it is when learning has managed to exercise a function in the child; Helping him to develop, to be participative, to want to narrate together with the teacher, with classmates, so that the fluency of speech helps him to be better.
