Why are charts and pictures important for preschool age children?

Question

for exsample picture of fruits in nursuries

Answer 1

At pre-school age it's the primary sense.

Sight - sound - touch / taste / smell.

Answer 2

Uh... Because they cannot read?

Using visual stimulation works because the images are more easily recognized than a bunch of meaningless symbols that they will learn the meaning of in a couple of years.

Up to that point in their life, they have dealt with visual images, such as the fruit example you cited.

Answer 3

Its all a part of NLP, neuro linguistic programming, different peoples brains are stimulated in different ways, that is why there is usually writing pictures and oral stimulation in the classroom.

Answer 4

Charts, pictures, graphs and symbols are EXTREMELY important for children, especially at younger ages. Pictures help them make a mental connection with objects and words, and give them a better understanding of things. It has been proven that if pictures are on the wall of a small child's room, and the majority of his/her toys have to do with learning(i.e-flash cards, coloring books that have to do with numbers, and some sort of alphabet game) their speech will be much better.

Answer 5

Because they can't read yet, so images help them to learn about the world around them.

Answer 6

Learnering styles vary from individual to individual.  Some people like to listen, read or observe.  Pictures are a very good way of getting a message accross, especially when there is a lot happening in class.  

Pictures are a simple way of re-enforcing a message.  Even though your learners can not read and may not actually be listening to you, especially if part of a group, they will pick up and remember visual clues.
