Make Funny Faces And Voices As You Read!

Team AckoFeb 8, 2024

Reading to your child is undoubtedly one of the best ways to strengthen the bond between the two of you. Reading not only is a super indulging way for your child to spend time with you, but is also a great learning mechanism for better communication and vocabulary. Here is how you can make it more interesting.

1. Understand your child's preferences. See if she likes princesses or animals or unicorns or motor bikes. Pick stories that she would want to listen to. This is the foremost step as the kind of story decides how much time she will spend listening to it, with a great amount of concentration.

2. Let your child involve in the storytelling. Make her look into the pictures as you narrate. This helps a great deal because visualization can really stimulate her understanding of the story. She will enjoy the story a lot more this way.

3. Animate it by expressing the story on your face. Actions and facial expressions help for a better understanding. Gesture with your hands when you say tall or big. This will keep her very involved.

4. Voice modulation as well as comic sounds also help significantly when it comes to your child understanding the story. Growl as you speak when the character is a lion, show might in your voice if you are narrating a king's bit. These tiny details will make such a huge difference when it comes to storytelling.

5. The actions and sounds also help your child make associations with the character. This way, she can understand that in real life too, not just in stories, that a lion roars. This understanding is vital.
