During storytelling, infants and toddlers generally respond more to what?

Visual images
Textual information
Sounds
Emotional expressions

The correct answer is: Sounds

Infants and toddlers are particularly responsive to sounds during storytelling, as their developmental stage places a strong emphasis on auditory input. At this age, children are drawn to various auditory elements such as variations in tone, pitch, and rhythm, which can capture their attention and enhance their engagement with the story. Sounds such as rhymes, music, and expressive narration help to create a dynamic storytelling experience that can foster language development and cognitive growth. The emphasis on sounds aligns with their natural curiosity and the way they explore their environment. Infants and toddlers are still developing their ability to process visual information and may not yet fully comprehend or engage with the textual aspects of a story. While emotional expressions do play a role in storytelling and can enhance engagement, the immediate reaction to auditory stimuli is more pronounced at this age, making sounds the primary element that captures their attention during storytelling sessions.
