Like Alia Bhatt, if you are a parent, you must read stories to your little one. Why? Below are some benefits of storytelling:
1. Develops imagination: When children listen to stories, they form pictures of characters and places in their minds. This helps them to be more creative and think of new ideas.
2. Improves language skills: Hearing different words and sentences in stories helps children learn to talk and write better. They learn new words and understand how to use them.
3. Teaches a lesson: Stories often have a message or moral. They can teach children about right and wrong, kindness, sharing, and other important values in a fun way.
