Telling stories to small children improves their listening skills, vocabulary development and the ability to organize their thoughts. Active participation in storytelling increases the fluency of verbal expression in young children. Storytelling is linked to an increase in imaginative play and creativity in children. Storytelling is a key building block of a child’s intellectual development.
