Children love books. They can provide hours of fun time and learning for small children. They are a favorite activity for parents and children, and can serve as a unique educational tool as well. Stories of old, as well as modern tales are vividly displayed, and provide times of affection and fun between parents and children. Listen and read along books can also provide a unique way of reading and learning. Teachers also use this method as an interesting way of teaching children. Children can be taught important life skills, behaviors, social skills, ethics, cultural traditions, and histories. Reading and speaking, and word recognition are also central skills learned through reading and listening.
Not only are they learning to read, but they are also learning important things about culture, science, and behavior from nonfiction materials. Fiction teaches important things by using characters and objects to teach about friendship, types of behavior, and ethics. Children then identify with characters and their behaviors, while learning literacy skills.
Children also develop skills related to recognition, pronunciation and learn to break up syllables. They learn, through words, to recognize objects, shapes, and holidays. They also learn about cultures and traditions, and the history of a place, holiday or event. Reading is also used to represent math, and objects, words, and colors.
They also begin to understand the world they live in much better by learning about different animals, objects, and histories. Not only are they learning to understand the world better, but they are also learning higher levels of reading and recognition. Extended studies can also be achieved at home through teacher suggested resources. This encourages better reading and word recognition.
Teachers and parents assisting children with sounds and then pointing to the printed word also helps them to connect the physical sound with the word in print. This also helps with vocabulary and can even help children confront some childhood problems, like fears when the lights are turned out or closets are closed, if characters in the story are also dealing with such things.
Many schools also provide guides for parents in what is being learned at school, activities implemented, and skills developed. For instance first graders are learning reading comprehension skills, and sentence recognition. They also learn to spell one syllable words, are learning vowel changes, and can break up words in syllables to pronounce them.
As students advance they begin learning other things. For instance second grades learn words of more than one syllable. Teachers are also introducing them to words using prefixes, and suffixes. They are learning how to recognize the different levels of a story, and other more advanced skills. Since the skill level from first to second and other grades is different teacher suggestions to parents on books is essential.
Listen and read along books are excellent tools for learning, both in school and at home. Audio books can often be found free by surfing the Internet, and can be easily and conveniently downloaded. Teaching children with audio is a great way for children to learn as audio is stopped periodically for children to point out sounds, words, or objects. Teachers and parents can also ask children to break down works into syllables.
