Stories are important to kids because they expand their imaginations. Stories lead kids to fictional places where they can experience new and amazing things. The adventures that kids have while reading helps to develop their mind and their sense of right from wrong. These are exactly the reasons for which parents read to their kids.
People read more often as they grow older to alleviate stress in their life and to escape the realities they face. Reading is always beneficial because one can always learn new things and expand their current vocabulary. People read non- fictional stories in order to gain insight on what is to come in life.
On a global perspective stories help us to learn about other cultures. Without books one would have to travel to another country in order to capture the emotional and physical feelings that the local inhabitants experience. Stories not only provide cultural background on present-day issues but also on past events. One can pick up a book and through reading it, learn what people felt in a different time period.
When I was younger I loved The Little Engine that Could, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, The Bernstein Bears, and The Three Little Pigs. These stories were read to me daily, nightly and ever so rightly. I loved these stories because they gave human characteristics to non- human creatures. Through this transformation of traits, I was able to learn how people’s reactions affect others.
- They are funny
- They provide an emotional connection
- You can relate to it
- A hero the reader can side with
- A happy ending
- Beautiful details
- Explosive imagery
