Communication and Language Development

Listening to stories and story telling enables a wealth of communication skills from talking about what you enjoyed about the story to describing the plot and character feelings. If you're feeling really creative you could make up your own story or extend upon a favourite story.  For example, what did the bears do after Goldilocks had run out of their house?
