Benefit Of Listen And Read Along Books

By Elena McDowell


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.

Children are taught on a variety of topics, and learn specific things. Subjects taught are related to animal species, weather patterns, how weather is predicted, a variety of things about science, and even how to plant vegetables and flowers. Many fiction books are used to teach children social morals, and are taught through characters.

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.

Parents can also work with children at home on sounds used in the classroom, and help children associate sounds with printed words. As children begin to associate sounds with words reading becomes easier, and vocabularies increase. Working at home with children also allows for special activities between parent and child.

School guides are also helpful to parents investigating ways of helping children increase reading and word recognition skills at home. This helps parents understand what they are learning at each level, and materials needed to assist their children at home. In first grade students are learning mostly reading and understanding what they read, as well as some thing about sentences. They are learning to spell words, vowels, and how to break down words for easy pronunciation.

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.
