"A MAGICAL STORY TIME DAY"
"Once upon a time…" Have you ever heard or read this phrase? Of course, you have. Since I can remember, I recall it. As a child, it was a way to enter another world of movies or stories. As teens, we continued wolfing down books about magical stories and happy endings, and now as adults, books are a constant in our lives. Therefore, it's not surprising that we want our students to learn to love books as much as we do. Thus, the frustration of having to convince them or parents to pick up a book has led us to take a long hard look at why kids don't read today.
Preschoolers may learn satisfactorily how to decode the letters and maybe even pronounce the words correctly, but they don't understand what they are reading. This in turn could make the whole process boring for them and therefore they could lose interest.
First and foremost, parents should read to their children since babies. Teachers need to read aloud and then check what the kids have understood. Obviously, when teaching the younger learners, books should have pictures, dramatizations, songs, and rhymes. Reading aloud to young pupils will gradually teach them not only how to pronounce words, but to even understand and increase vocabulary in a funny and spontaneous way.
On October 22nd, Preschool teachers created a Teddy Bear Picnic, where kids were wearing their pajamas, brought their teddy bears, and some of them their favorite pillows, to take a magical trip to different scenarios and listen to amazing stories with real characters performed by their teachers. It was an exhausting but worthwhile experience for students and their teachers,
Our long-term goal is to encourage preschoolers to enjoy reading.
