Listening Skills
Understanding story sequence (beginning, middle & end) builds the concept that stories need links in order to make sense. These help the concept of abstract ideas like first, next, and last — which in turn helps children form a plan about what elements are involved in stories. (who, what , where, when, why).
Communicating Skills
Talking about experiences, relating a story or event in sequence, communicating about self, and communicating about concrete experiences help children share their ideas and create skills for critical thinking. (why, what could happen, what if? )
