How can we teach 'an' word family stories to kids?

One way is through flashcards. Write the words like 'ball', 'fall', 'wall' on the flashcards with pictures. Show the kids the cards and say the words aloud. Another way is to make up simple rhymes using the words, for example, 'The ball will fall by the wall'.

You can also use storybooks with illustrations as examples. Show the kids how the illustrator has brought the story to life through pictures. Point out details like the use of colors, different perspectives, and the expressions of the characters. Then, let the kids choose their own story and try to create illustrations in a similar style. It's important to let them be creative and not worry too much about getting it 'perfect'.

We can start with simple words. For example, take the word 'tail'. We can create a story about a little animal with a long tail. The animal uses its tail for balance while running in the forest. We make the 'ai' sound in 'tail' prominent and use vivid pictures to illustrate the story for kids.

They can also teach values through the characters' actions. In a family story where a child helps an elderly neighbor, it can teach kindness. By hearing such stories, kids can see how positive values play out in real - life family situations and be inspired to adopt those values in their own lives.

One way is through simple picture books. For example, a book about a sheep. Show kids the picture of the fluffy sheep and emphasize the 'ee' sound. Another is by using rhymes. Like 'See the bee in the tree'. This makes it fun and easy for them to remember the long vowel e sound.

One way is by using the story of David and Goliath. David was a young shepherd boy who had great confidence in God. When facing the giant Goliath, he didn't fear. We can tell kids that just like David, if they believe in themselves and in a higher power (in this case, as per the Bible), they can overcome big challenges. This shows them that confidence comes from faith and self - belief.

Using animated videos or puppet shows with fun stories can also be effective. You can start with simple facts like how our bodies are made up of different parts. Then gradually introduce the idea that boys have different body parts for making a baby and girls have different ones too. Make sure to answer any questions the kids might have in a calm and honest way. And always keep in mind the age and maturity level of the kids while choosing the stories.

Using crafts can also be great. For instance, make crosses out of popsicle sticks. As you are making it, talk about how the cross is an important symbol in the Easter story because it was where Jesus was crucified. You can also dye eggs together and explain that eggs are a symbol of new life, which is a central theme in the Easter story as Jesus rose from the dead, bringing new life and hope to all.

One way is through simple picture books. The colorful illustrations can attract kids' attention and help them understand the key elements of the Easter story, like the resurrection of Jesus. Another way is to use Easter eggs as a teaching tool. You can explain how the egg can symbolize new life, just as Jesus was resurrected. Also, acting out the story in a little play can make it more engaging for kids.

One way is through simple illustrations. For example, using picture books that show the main events in a non - scary way. Another way is to relate it to their own experiences of sacrifice, like giving up a toy for a friend. This helps them understand the concept of Jesus giving up his life for others.
