There’s something magical about stories. Stories bring wonder to a young child as it transports him or her to new, extraordinary worlds. Stories open up little hearts and minds to fantastic ideas. Developing a love of stories at a young age encourages children not just to become avid readers It also enables them to become brave adventurers and inventive dreamers who think of exciting possibilities!
Research shows that exposing young children to reading builds stronger vocabulary, improves focus and concentration, and promotes higher literacy. These skills make them better prepared to enter school. Reading and discussing stories has also been linked to promoting children’s emotional intelligence and empathy as they encounter the various perspectives and experiences of the characters in the story.
While stories are mostly enjoyed by reading books, children feel a greater sense of engagement when stories are further explored through creative activities. Making crafts, singing, dancing, and active play are some of the ways to make stories come ALIVE for children. These activities help children deepen their understanding of stories. Learning is enhanced as children connect the knowledge they gain from stories with their current experiences. Children may also learn to share stories with peers which becomes a meaningful tool to build friendships.
