Through stories, children learn empathy, acceptance and start to make sense of the world around them. As research from the Centre for Literacy in Primary Education demonstrates, they teach children essential literacy skills including how to develop deep comprehension and learn about narrative structure and character development in an accessible way. They let children engage both intelligently and emotionally with the story while still at an early stage of learning vocabulary. Pictures can communicate so much more than words alone and most children learn to read visual images long before they learn to read the printed word. Children gaze at the pictures while listening to the story, absorbing the deeper layers of information they convey. There’s a captivating power of a beautiful picture book.
