Q143

Which one of the following is incorrect about storytelling for children ?
Listening to stories, help children to :

  1. (1) learn sentence structure.
  2. (2) develop problem-solving skills.
  3. (3) learn new moral values to be followed in life.Correct answer
  4. (4) learn new words and expand their vocabulary.

Solution.

CBSE answer: (3)

Answer: (3) learn new moral values to be followed in life.

  1. Stories are told to children for enjoyment and language growth: they hear sentence patterns, meet new words and think about how characters solve problems.
  2. Storytelling is not meant to preach fixed morals for the child to follow.
  3. So the claim in (3) is the incorrect one.

Trap: (2) is a real benefit; children predict and work out solutions as the story unfolds.
