Teach Children With Listen And Read Along Books

By Elena McDowell


Listen and read along books are not only treasures to parents and children, and provide many ways to parents and children to bond together while listening and reading classical and contemporary fiction, but they also provide creative methods of teaching and learning. Educators often include listening and reading from nonfiction and fiction selections into a variety of lesson plans. Not only do children learn important life lessons by listening to audio about life activities, such as visiting a doctor's office, learning about veterinarians, animals, restaurants, or police, but it also teaches children literacy and speaking skills.

Children can learn about history, how animals survive, about the weather, what a meteorologist does, science, planting flowers and growing, and a variety of other important topics from nonfiction books. From fiction books they learn important life lessons through characters movement throughout the story, as well as important ethical lessons, ways of interacting with others, and proper ways of behaving.

They also learn vital skills needed, such as identifying words, objects, characters, names, and others in the audio, and book. They also learn to recognize word structure in syllables, learn the right way of saying words, and build vocabulary. Not only that, but they are also learning important things about the culture, history, and ways of doing things.

Children are also learning to understand their world through study and exploration. They are learning how to think about their world, how to understand themselves and the world through a variety of subjects. Studies also involve activities in which children learn to recognize words, objects and characters through reading.

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.

This assures parents will purchase the right books for home study and practice. Audio can also often be found on the Internet and downloaded. Audio is a great way to teach children, both at home and at school, as it allows for pausing listen and read along books and asking children to identify objects, animals, characters, words, and other things.
