Read a story from the child's story book; have him make pictures of
the story as you read; when you have finished, let him tell the story
from his Mind's Eye picture, and see how completely he can retell it.
If points are omitted, call the child's attention to them and help him
to include them in his picture. When several children are together have
one retell the story and the others add what they can to it. See to it
that the retelling is from visual pictures. This is excellent training
for future school work.
