This stimulates the child's thinking abilities and reinforces the skills they are learning. Once children reach preschool age, parents can encourage them to become a teller of a story. For example, after you read the book you can ask your child a question about the book. After the child responds, rephrase his or her answer and expand it by adding information. Continue along in this manner each time, encouraging the child to expand further on the narration.
Most children like to hear the same stories over and over.
It seems a little different to them each time. As soon as your child is old enough, have him or her join you in browsing for books and making selections. You might notice, if you have a preschooler, that a child that age becomes sensitive to the way words rhyme. Hearing stories with rhymes in them is so enjoyable to them, and as a result their language skills increase again. Academic performance in the early grades is a significant predictor of whether the child completes high school.
