Sharing stories, talking and singing every day helps your child’s development in lots of ways. 

Reading and sharing stories can:

• help your child become familiar with sounds, words, language and the value of books
• spark your child’s imagination, stimulate curiosity and help his brain development
• help your child learn the difference between ‘real’ and ‘make-believe’
• help your child understand change and new or frightening events, and also the strong emotions that can go along with them
• help your child develop early literacy skills like the ability to listen to and understand words.
