Module 5 6.3 Objects


By using objects that are in, or look like those in the story, e.g. if you are telling a story about a ball or a baby, you have a real ball or a doll-baby to help you tell the story.


By telling stories in this way, children can see and even feel what the story is about. Tis way of telling stories is especially good for very young children who can understand objects better than pictures.


6.4 The television box


Tis story aid may consist of a simple series of pictures on a roll moving over a screen, or it may be a more complex construction of cardboard or wood.


Drawings that form a sequence are made on a roll of Vilene or unprinted newspaper. Tese drawings are rolled onto one roller of the television box. A crank handle is used to roll the pictures past the opening of the television box onto the other handle. “Do you want to be my friend” Carle, and “Wie se stert is dit” – Barberis, are stories that are very suitable for this type of aid.


– Eric


Tis aid can also be used by the children. Let each of them draw a different illustration of a story that they’ve heard before. Paste it on a roll of paper and then use it as an aid.


6.5 The magnet board


Te magnetic board: this is usually a metal board, painted on one side so that it can be used as a blackboard, and covered with felt on the other side so that it can also serve as a flannel board.


Small magnets are pasted onto the back of the illustrations, or the magnets are leſt on the board and the illustrations stuck down on to them with “Prestik”.


Te magnetic board can accommodate large illustrations and three-dimensional objects more easily than the flannel board. It is useful for stories such as “Die ruspe wat so honger was” – Eric Carle, and “Pette te koop” – Esphyr Slobodkina.


6.6 The drawing board (black board)


Te drawing board can be used for stories that can be illustrated by line drawings. Suitable stories are, “Little blue and little yellow” – Leo Lionni, “Miljoene katte” – Wanda Gag, and “Te mixed up chameleon” – Eric Carle.


6.7 Audio-visual presentations


Presentation of children’s stories through films, slides, or records is not recommended.


When showing films or slides – with or without a soundtrack – the playroom has to be darkened if the presentation is to be successful. Some children find this threatening (they oſten start crying). Because it is dark, the teacher cannot observe the children to detect any fear or uncertainty.


Furthermore, when showing films or slides, the teacher handles the apparatus, and usually stands behind the children. Tere is therefore hardly any of the intimate eye contact so essential in the presentation of stories.
