Not many people can tell stories off the top of their heads. While storytelling develops an understanding, respect and appreciation for other cultures, research has shown that reading aloud to young children promotes the development of language and other emergent literacy skills, which in turn help children prepare for school.
This talk will share tips on how parents can not only inculcate the love for reading but develop better language skills through story reading.
