Learning to read is about listening and understanding as well as working out what’s printed on the page. Listening to stories exposes children to a wide range of vocabulary, building their bank of words and improving their understanding of the text. By reading, children learn about people, places, and events that they couldn’t learn otherwise. This gives children a deeper understanding of the world around them and of cultures that are different from their own.

Children who see adults reading, and enjoying it, are much more likely to want to read themselves. In addition, reading together can provide comfort, build confidence, and be a time of relaxation and fun. So go on, snuggle up together with a great book or enjoy listening to one of our bedtime stories below!
