STORY TELLING 12

Storytelling – Why Is It Important?

Your child is now growing and learning new things every day. It is during
this stage of development that he or she needs to be exposed to good
values and knowledge, and storytelling is a great and interactive way to
do that.
• Storytelling helps inculcate the habit of reading in children.
• It also helps them enhance their knowledge and learn facts about
animals, plants, objects and different parts of the world.
• It widens their horizons and allows them to think in a broader
perspective.
• Storytelling also helps improve the vocabulary and allows children to
learn new words.
