Publisher's Synopsis
Sharing stories, chatting and singing every day helps your child learn in several ways.
Reading and sharing stories can:
- Learn to appreciate books and stories
- Help your child develop brain skills, concentrate, attention, social skills and communication skills
- Help your child get to know words and language and develop early literacy skills
- Stimulate your child's imagination and curiosity
- Sharing stories with your child doesn't mean you've got to read the novel.
Just looking at your child's books and learning about them, you can be a great storyteller and a good model to use language and books. Your child will learn by watching you hold the book the correct way to see how you move around the book by gently turning the pages.
Reading stories with children also has advantages for adults. The special time you spend reading together encourages bonding and helps develop your relationship with your child.
Stories offer a lesson that can be remembered in children's minds for decades. Lesson likes supporting each other, and doesn't hate anyone. A small act of kindness can shape someone's life. Likewise, intelligence and powerful thought can set the future bright, and stealing and lying can make you a bad person harmless to others. In the same way, greed is a poor habitat that can inflict irreversible harm to one's personality. Different circumstances require a different approach, and this behavior helps to deal wisely with problems.
