The age-old practice of reading stories aloud to kids offers so many benefits and helps boost their language proficiency.

Children pick up behaviours and habits by imitating the adults around them. Reading stories aloud helps children to familiarise themselves with the spoken language - how words and phrases are used to string together sentences, and how various words are pronounced.

Storytelling encourages your kids to ask questions as the plot progresses, instead of simply reading passively. When children have questions, it means they are thinking beyond the story and its characters, and this can help develop creativity and critical thinking skills. You can prompt your child to think beyond the story too, by posing to them open-ended questions such as “Why do you think (character) did this?”.

Every child is different, and so their interests would vary too. Reading to your kids opens an opportunity to discuss the reading material’s content. Take the chance to find out if your child is interested in the plot. If they are not, what would they find enjoyable? This could provide some ideas on what books you could get for your child on the next trip to the library or bookstore. It is also a chance for you to find out about their reading ability.

Storytelling creates an opportunity for your child to share experiences that could be similar to the plot. They may even reveal that the book’s characters bear resemblance to friends or teachers.
