Preschool Storytime Theme: The Year of the Snake
Skill Tip:
Talking helps to develop your child’s narrative skills. Narrative skills is a child’s use of expressive language—when your child can tell you stories, or tell you about something that happened in the story.
Book Introduction/Modeling skill:
Narration: The book, My First Chinese New Year by Karen Katz, has very colorful illustrations captivating children’s interest, while at the same time, influencing their imagination with what they see. As the story is read, the children can use the pictures shown, to determine the details of the events, how the girl is affected, and why each item and activity is important. After reading the story, have a few children recall some of the festival activities and items from the story. Then ask them if they can recall some of the reasons for the items and activities.
