Der arbejdes med ordforråd og udtale igennem sang, rim og remser. Samt oplæsning af bøger fra biblioteket og medbragte yndlingsbøger. Det er eksempelvis bøger med dagligdags problemstillinger og oplevelser, såsom Karius og Baktus eller Totte-bøger.
Vi tager hensyn til de små i legestuen og giver dem nogle pauser til leg, samtidig med at vi bliver ved med at stimulerer de større børn i legestuen.

We work with vocabulary and pronunciation through singing and rhymes. We also read books from the library with a relevant theme from the daily life or the subject of the day. Ex. Totte books or "Karies and Baktur".
We will consider the smaller children and provide them with some quit time.
