It has been proven that reading a story to your little one has great benefits for his development, but which one is correct?
Although reading a story to your little one is recommended for a good development and growth, not all stories are suitable for all ages. We give you a guide that will help you share this activity with him in the best way:
In the first year, picture books with few words are recommended. The child will begin to associate some words with the images.
From two to three years old, your little one is able to follow a story, so you can already read a short story about everyday things. The child will point to the characters with his finger while you describe the scene.
By age four, kids can already tell short stories and learn more about characters like fairies, wizards, and princesses. Fantasy illustrations can be perfectly combined with everyday situations to result in fun fictional stories.
From five to six years old, they may already have more interest in more complex arguments and may even add more content such as riddles or sayings.
From seven to eight, the best option is for them to choose the topic that interests them, they should feel identified and interested in the topic. It is important that you stay close and always ready to explain any confusing vocabulary that you do not yet understand.
