FREE and EASY
Both of my kids love books on CD's and I love them because it keeps them busy while I'm driving. The library has tons of titles available too, so we can listen to lots of different stories. The children have their favorites, but I know they're listening because Lillian can recite the story before they even say it and Cole repeats his favorite parts after they read it. One of Lillian's favorites is The Three Billy Goats Gruff. We even expand on the story by retelling it in our own words and acting it out. She loves being the Billy Goats and, yes, sometimes she skips the middle Billy Goat Gruff, but that doesn't matter. What's important is that she gets practice retelling the story and developing her speech. I don't know how many times we've listened to a story and I've been asked "what's that word mean?" What a great way to expand their vocabulary too and, its free and super easy!
