Home And Classroom Learning With 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.

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.

Not only that, but children learn to understand the environment and the world in which they live by learning about animals, history, and society. Through teacher plans involving read-along activities children learn not only speaking, reading, and recognition, but also critical thinking, and cognitive skills. Children can also benefit from teachers hand selecting books to be read at home between parent and child. This further advances the child's reading skills, speaking and word and object recognition skills.

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.

For parents unsure what types of materials the school is using, most schools provide a guide for materials and skills being implemented. Many classrooms for first grade learners are centered around comprehension in reading, and also learning to recognize some things in sentences. They are also beginning the spelling process with words of one syllable. They may also be learning to understand vowels and how they change, and are being introduced to breaking syllables for easier 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.

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.
