No one can deny the benefits of storytelling for the kids especially when they are in the bed before sleep. The kids of 90’s might have the best memories when their parents tell them new stories every night before their night sleep. Even listening to the same story again and again was also very entertaining. If we look around now, the children play games on their smartphones or tablets before their night sleep.

Though games are also good for kids to learn new things, nothing else can beat the benefits of storytelling for kids. Here we will discuss a few advantages of storytelling.
A good way to aware kids about their culture
Storytelling using children books is a great way to provide the awareness to school going kids about their roots and the culture. Every society has different kid’s stories which have something related to their culture and small lessons to teach. If you try to educate your kids about your culture it won’t have a good effect as they don’t want to listen to you, but when you tell them a story using a storybook, they will listen to your and in that story they have lessons for the kids which they can easily understand and remember for a long time.
Introduce new vocabulary to children
Kids can learn any language at the age of 4 to 12. So in this age, if you tell different stories to your kids, you will introduce new vocabulary which will be good for the kids. They will ask you about the meaning of new words they listen and they will learn how to use that vocabulary in their routine communication. So what they can’t learn from their educational books, they can easily learn that from these small storytelling sessions using children storybooks.
ٰEncourage Kids to Read Books
