Turning a simple story into something magical by exploring its adventures and fantasies is the key to making reading an unforgettable moment! That's why we at MagiKids want to help you make this experience even more special!
Check out now seven incredible tips to become an excellent storyteller:
The first step is to choose a good story: Carefully select a story that is suitable for your child's age, with charming illustrations and a captivating plot.
Before telling, let yourself be carried away by the magic of reading: Prepare for the adventure by doing a preview reading of the book. This way, you'll be more at ease to tell the story, and you may even improvise to make the moment even more fun and exciting.
Start by mentioning the title and author of the work: Value every detail, starting with the title and the author. Teach your little one the difference between these aspects, encouraging recognition and appreciation of the creators.
Let your imagination fly freely: Transform into the characters, bringing each one to life with gestures, intonations, and, if possible, even with some characteristic clothing. By doing so, you will arouse great expectations in your child, making the moment even more enjoyable and magical.
Invite them to retell the story in their own way: Stimulate your little one's imagination and concentration by asking them to recreate the story in their own way. Encourage them to share their ideas and give them all the attention for their creations.
Read as many times as they want: It's normal for a child to have a favorite story and ask to hear it repeatedly. That's wonderful! It shows interest in the content. Be patient and reread the story as many times as necessary. This habit will also contribute to the development of your little one.
Cultivate a love for reading: The best advice is to always read! Your example will help create the habit of reading in the child from an early age, thus developing a love for books that will last a lifetime.
Now it's up to you, enchant yourself, and have fun telling stories!
