- Then ask them to retell the text on their own. If difficulties arise, then your tips and leading questions will help to master the retelling!
- You can tell the text in turn. So you teach your child not only to talk, but also to listen carefully.

The negligent musician followed the advice of a passerby, but his opinion changed from what he saw in the forest. The Musician's story with an unusual ending will cheer up all family members.
Reading time: 2 min.
An old bugbear was sitting on a mound and chirping on a violin. He was very fond of music and tried to learn to play himself. He did not do well, but the old man was pleased that he had his own music. An acquaintance of the collective farmer passed by and said to the old man:
- Drop your violin, grab your gun. You're better off with a gun. I just saw a bear in the forest.
The old man put down his violin and asked the collective farmer where he had seen the bear. He took a gun and went into the forest.
In the forest, the old man searched for a bear for a long time, but did not even find a trace of it.
The old man was tired and sat down on a stump to rest.
It was very quiet in the forest. Not a knot will crack anywhere, not a bird will give a voice.
Suddenly the old man heard: "Zenn! .." Such a beautiful sound, like a string sang.
A little later again: "Zenn!.."
And from the forest again: "Zenn!.." - yes, so loudly, affectionately.
The old man stood up from the stump and cautiously walked towards where the sound was coming from. The sound was heard from the edge.
An old man crept up from behind a Christmas tree and sees a tree broken by a thunderstorm at the edge of it, long splinters sticking out of it. And a bear sits under a tree, grabbed one chip with its paw. The bear pulled the chip towards him and let it go. The sliver straightened up, trembled, and there was a sound in the air: "Zenn! .." - like a string sang.
The bear bowed his head and listened.
The old man is also listening: the chip sings well.
The sound ceased, - the bear again for his own: he pulled the chip and let it go.
In the evening, a familiar collective farmer once again passed by the hut of the bear-cub.
