1. Know his/her interests

Does your child love to listen to stories about love, adventure, or fantasies? By knowing your child’s interests it will be easier for you to choose the right stories.

You can tell which stories your child loves to listen to based on how frequent he/she asks you to read stories of the same themes.

2. Evaluate the content

There are some stories which may include scenes or language not suitable for your child’s age. Choose one which he/she can easily relate to. As much as possible, the stories must be appropriate for his/her age and understanding.

3. Illustrations matter

Aside from listening to you, your child would also like to see the illustrations on the pages of the story books you are reading. So choose a story with large, realistic, and colorful illustrations.

It is so easy to choose the appropriate stories for your child. Just remember to know his/her interests, evaluate the content of the story, and make sure they have pictures. By doing so, you can make every reading time with your child special.
