Curiosity, imagination and communication
Reading to a child can increase their willingness to express themselves and communicate their thoughts and feelings. Ask them to talk to you about the plot and characters in the story; to suggest how each of the characters might move the story forward and to tell you why they think the character has behaved in a particular way.

When storytelling, you should actively encourage children to ask questions and to talk about how they feel.

Reading is the perfect way to broaden their vocabulary, as a child will pick up new words as they hear them. If they don't understand a word, they will more than likely ask for an explanation, so always encourage this kind of questioning.

Storytelling also encourages children to be creative and use their imagination to picture the setting, the characters, and the story as it unfolds. Rather than being given the imagery to accompany the words, which is the case when watching a film, the child is able to build the world within which the story is set for themselves.
