Question

What advnatges do children who listen to articulate adults enjoy in comparison with other?

Answer 1

A big advantage of storytelling is that listening to stories enhances a child’s vocabulary, feel some parents. Namrata Popat, mother of a six-year-old, says, “My son is very fond of listening to stories and so, whenever I have time, I read out stories to him. The fact that he is curious about some words and wants to know the meanings of the ones he cannot understand, makes me feel good. I know he is learning new words and always find it easy to explain their meanings if it is in the context of a story being narrated.” Since the child relates to the words better, they are retained in his memory for long. 
Enhances listening skills of children: Studies have proved that infancy is the period when children absorb most of the words that they later use in their lives. So, telling stories even to infants should be an important part of a parent’s schedule. When they grow up, storytelling encourages and enhances the listening skills of children. Usually, children like to talk more rather than listen and this behaviour is evident especially in classrooms — they are not usually good listeners. But when a habit of listening to stories is inculcated in them, they learn to become better listeners. It provides them the necessary training to listen and understand more, instead of talking.
