Listening and telling stories helps children in learning language in primary classes. Listening to stories is of interest to children and also enhances their creativity. Often it is seen that children mould the stories they have heard as per their wishes while telling it to their friends. Through this children not only learn the meaning of the words but also develop an understanding of various incidents and this facilitates in enhancing their imagination. Another way in which stories are beneficial is that it enhances the ability of children to estimate. For example, whenever children are listening to a story, they are curious to know about what happens next.

• Discussing a story after listening to it, is a little difficult task but if the teacher is prepared with its objective then it can become a useful medium.
• Most of the teachers feel that after telling the story, it is their right to ask the children, about the lesson they have learnt from it.
• Telling stories to children is as important as listening to stories from them.
• This helps the children in developing their ability to express themselves, makes them curious, and motivates them to learn.
• Instead of asking the children to repeat the story told by the teacher, it is more beneficial to ask them to tell any story that they like because it develops language skills. It will also let teachers know what a student knows already.
• While responding to the personality and the character of the story, the child includes her experiences in it.
• Every child in the classroom should be given the freedom that she can talk about anything regarding the story, can even exaggerate it through her imagination.

Hence, we conclude that both the points could be the reason to ask questions from listeners in story-based lessons.
