At a young age, children learn new things at a very fast pace. One of the best and easiest ways that children learn is by listening to stories. Children may not be able to understand the whole story but they are still learning from it. It is for this reason that they tend to ask a lot of questions. Storytelling is a great way to develop your child’s learning and comprehension skills, better preparing them for their universal pre k in New York.
Here are a few reasons why we here at The Day School of Astoria think that storytelling can be very beneficial for your child.
- Promotes creativity
Storytelling can promote their creativity by allowing them to use their imaginations to better understand the story. They may even retell your stories to their friends at their preschool and daycare in Astoria, New York. By listening to stories, they learn how to create and invent stories of their very own.
- Helps to develop language skills
Listening to their parents tell them stories also helps to develop language. They develop their language skills by hearing their parents say new words and asking a lot of questions about the story. Developing their language skills will help them better interact with other kids in their Astoria daycare in New York.
- Helps to develop social skills
This benefit comes hand in hand with the previous one. Storytelling can help develop their social skills through the development of their language skills. Children love telling other kids about the cool and interesting stories their parents have told them. Having a story and interacting with others is a great way for them to develop better social skills.
