| Listening to good storybooks SHARPEN CHILDREN'S AWARENESS and appreciation for the sounds of spoken language.
It has an"of" in there because it refers to the "sounds of spoken langauge"... at the same time... "appreciation FOR" the "sounds of spoken language"
Basically, without the "of" in there...the "CHILDREN'S AWARENESS" wouldn't be able to relate to the "sounds of the spoken language"
I don't know if you understand what I am trying to convey. In short, you need OF in there because you have appreciation FOR the sounds of spoken language. |
