TELLING STORIES
Understanding that daily activities often fall in a certain order helps children adapt to the structure of school.
To make children aware of routines, ask them to tell you a story about something they did that day. Story starters:
– getting ready for bed
– walking to school
– going on a shopping trip
– visiting the library
