Picture talks Louder


I had posted in my blog http://montessori4kidz.blogspot.com/ about making kids learn the concept via pictures. To make my child understand morning and evening, I had created some pictures. She got the idea fast and is able to explain it to others too.  Learning via Pictures
Whenever possible, try to give a pictorial view of the things. It will have an imprint in the minds of the children and they will learn very fast.

I had read a story to my daughter about a Tree and an Eagle. Eagle is making fun of tree telling that the tree is static and is not moving and hence is not getting the news .

The tree in turn is saying that He has the most up-to-date information and narrates it to the eagle.
To Eagle’s surprise, tree replies that so many animals/birds stay in the tree and they give him all the news.
Squirrel – eats fruits / live in the hole
Sparrow - Stays in the nest
Crow - Build nest with Twigs and leaves
Wood pecker - Lives on insects
Caterpillar - Lives on Leaves and eats Leaf.

Nice story and a good idea to make the kid learn. Good story. Taking this forward, I introduced my kid to the bird Eagle and mentioned some characteristics. And also the birds mentioned in the story.
So much learning from a short story.
