Benefits of telling stories to children when they go to bed
- Improves concentration: Telling a story is not simply reading, it is much better if we stage them, if we raise or lower the tone of voice, we change it to the different characters, we laugh or cry, in this way, we will surely get much more attention from the little ones.
- Transmit values: Children identify with the characters and situations of the stories we tell them, that is why the story is an ideal way for them to learn values. If we also make them personalized, we can also help them resolve conflicts that they would not otherwise know how to deal with.
- Improves reading comprehension: The story will awaken curiosity, ask questions to those who will seek answers, encourage habit and interest in reading, In addition children will increase their vocabulary, learn to concentrate more easily and know listen, which will lead them to have a better reading comprehension, all important factors in their learning.
- Stimulate the imagination: We can invite you to choose among several stories according to what you want, and to invent and create different endings. If there is something that stimulates the imagination and fantasy of children, that is the story, because in them everything that we want can happen and we can give free rein to our creativity by spending very funny and rewarding moments.
We have already spoken that the poetry stories, for their musicality, they are an important weapon in the learning of the children, for that reason we should never leave aside the children's poetry. I leave you a poetry recreating this moment.
Poetry before bedtime. The story time
THE TIME OF THE STORY
I wear only my pajamas
and when dad arrives,
I am lying in bed
ready to listen.
A story every night
always comes to tell me,
a different story
with which I can dream.
When we finish the story
we always turn off the light,
and kissing tells me, lo what I love most is you!
For all that has been said, if we tell our children stories when they go to bed, they will associate them with having a good time, it will be very rewarding for them, they will sleep better and they will surely think: 'It's a happy moment to go to sleep'. Para And finally I leave a phrase of JR. Tolkien.
'The story is a source of magic and pleasure, and fantasy a legitimate right of every human being'.
