Ben wanted me to read 'The Little Yellow Digger', Taylah and Max joined in. Max liked to point at lots of the pictures on the pages particularly the dog and all the different diggers that got stuck, he talked lots as he pointed to the pictures. Ben asked lots of questions about what the diggers were doing and actively inquiring. Taylah just enjoyed watching and listening to Max, Ben and the story. Throughout this time as a group we all ended up listening to about three or four stories. It was a great time to share together and discover and be engaged in literacy.
In Te Whaariki it says "Children develop an expectation that words and books can amuse, delight, comfort, illuminate, inform, and excite;". Through the use of stories children can get used to different voices that teachers can make for different characters and really be engaged in the story and use their imagination.
