FAQ

Stories are a good fit for 5-year-olds because they encourage imagination while helping children follow longer and more detailed narratives. Many readers begin developing favorite characters and story types at this age.

Stories support reading development by helping children understand narrative structure, character motivations and the relationship between events. Regular exposure to stories builds comprehension alongside reading skills.

Stories work well at bedtime, during read-aloud sessions or whenever children are ready to settle into a longer narrative and become immersed in a story.
