Finding The Perfect Bedtime Story

By Larry Naput


It is advisable to read stories to kids. They learn important pre-reading skills, like learning we read from left to right, that we start at the top of a page and read downwards, that letters produce sounds and these sounds make words. They begin to identify the shapes of the letters and to designate sounds to those shapes.

Reading to children tells them that we love reading and it is fun to do. Children love to follow what their parents do. They will also wish to read when they see me reading. Reading to my kids inspires them to appreciate the importance of reading even before they step in school.

It has been found out that children whose moms and dads started reading to them years earlier perform better in school. These children acquire better examination scores and reading levels. Their concentration span is also longer.

Developing a routine helps children with their advancement. It makes them disciplined. This is one thing reading bedtime tales can do. By reading to kids at night, they are going to understand that there's playing time as well as sleeping time.

Because they look ahead to this fantastic bonding time with their fathers and mothers, they're going to associate it with going to bed and sleeping. As soon as it turns into a habit, moms and dads won't have a hard time putting their children to bed.

When should you start reading to them? I read to my kids at every stage in their growth, before they were born, as well as during infancy and as toddlers, preschoolers and even grade schoolers. I hope they'll still permit me to read to them even though they are already older. Whenever that point arrives, the children will have turned into reading fans just like me.

When is the ideal time to read a bedtime story? I read to the kids every time I want as it is my way of spending quality time with them. This evening is the ideal time to start the habit of reading to your kids particularly with all the benefits it offers.

Classic fairy tales have added huge smiles to the faces of children for many years. These stories have excellent lessons to reveal to children. It is also common for fairy tales to have several variations since they have been refreshed to seize the hearts of persons from all walks of life.
