Bedtime Stories For Your Children

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 shows them that we like reading and it is enjoyable to do. Children love following their dads and moms. When they notice me reading, they'll want to do this too. Reading to my children inspires them to understand the significance of reading even before they step in school.

It's been discovered that kids whose moms and dads began reading to them at a younger age do much better in class. These youngsters acquired better scores, superior reading levels, and longer attention spans.

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.

It is a time for kids to connect with their mothers and fathers and they will soon associate it as the appropriate time to get prepared for sleep. As soon as it becomes a routine, mothers and fathers will not have a hard time putting their children to sleep.

How soon must you begin reading to children? I've read to them all their lives from the time they were in my tummy. I am hoping they'll allow me to read to them when they are older, also, but I will not rely on it. At that point, however, they'll have learned to enjoy reading just as much as I do.

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.

Timeless fairy tales and stories have already been dazzling children for many years. These tales have excellent lessons to reveal to kids. It's also common for fairy tales to have different variations because they have been refreshed to seize the hearts of persons from all areas of life. You will love it.
