Using the Multiliteracy Approach, list specific activities to teach each of the
competencies below to the elementary learners.

LINGUISTIC COMPETENCE
 Rhymes In addition to developing speech, the
repetitive chanting, reading, writing, or
hearing of rhymes encourages good listening
skills and memory retention. Rhyming words
can also be used to tell stories about your
activities at home or to get your kids to tell
you about their favorite toys.
 Storytelling Even though storybooks provide a lot of
entertainment, telling your kids stories, real
or imaginary, can strengthen their
communication skills and strengthen your
relationship with them. Speculate on the
happenings of the day. Create stories about
anything and everything that is in their
immediate environment to spark their
imaginations and allow them to develop
their creativity.
Playing around with words that sound the

same but have different meanings can
improve listening and comprehension skills.
Allow your children to come up with similar-
sounding words and have them try to define
them. Additionally, this is a useful indicator
of your children's correct word
understanding and the extent to which their
vocabulary has grown.
 Songs Songs not only help children develop their
musical skills, but they also assist them in
learning new words. They will be able to sing
along with ease and enjoyment because the
lyrics have a sense of rhyme and rhythm. In
addition, you can have a lot of fun with your
kids by simply putting a tune to an activity.
 Tongue twisters Tongue twisters are a great and
entertaining way to teach children proper
word enunciation and pronunciation. It's a
fun way to teach them how to say words
with their tongue. Begin with basic ones and
move up gradually to more complex ones.
