618. More stories about stories



As you well know, reading stories and books (maybe e-books more and more) is a great aid to learn English and have fun. I copied from the British Council – BBC site a piece of a post I present today (link to the site: http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/ ). It’s worth to read.


The magic of story time

Have you ever noticed children listening to a story so attentively that the classroom is completely quiet? Or have you ever noticed children participating in a story so actively that everyone in the class wants to contribute? If so, then you've witnessed the 'magic of story time'! Where the 'magic' lies Stories provide shared contexts for rich, natural language development from a very young age, and throughout the primary years.

The 'magic' lies in the way stories potentially engage children's hearts and minds, as people and as thinkers, with issues that are relevant, real and important to them. / Photo from: homecareworld com. A babysitter.
