One of the most special times of the day for a young child is often “story time.” This is when children are able to build imagination skills by visualizing fire-breathing dragons flying through the air and unicorns running through meadows filled with wildflowers.
Teachers have known for years that story time is crucial for building a foundation of early literacy skills. Current research provides evidence of the impact stories have on the prereading skills of young children, which must be acquired before children can learn to read.
Studies confirm that storytelling can:
- Build vocabulary and increase fluency in oral language
- Improve memory, listening, and attending skills
- Encourage imaginative play
- Create opportunities for connecting language and print
- Promote phonemic and phonological awareness
- Strengthen sequencing abilities
- Enhance comprehension skills
- Increase syntactic complexity in oral language
