    Reading stories to children has significant benefits for their development. It helps both receptive and expressive language development through parent-child reading. Story books also aid cognitive development by holding children's attention and sharpening their memory and reasoning. This increases children's knowledge, confidence, creativity and peer recognition. Personality development in children is shaped by cognitive, emotional, motivational and temperamental attributes that determine how they view themselves and the world. A child's temperament can elicit different responses to the same environment. Constructivist views that foster motivation and problem-solving have shown greater learning outcomes versus didactic teaching methods. Relationships between teachers, peers and social and academic lives also strongly influence children's adjustment and learning.

    Why read stories to children?

    The importance of reading stories to children is not only significant


    in overall childhood development, but also a great booster of
    children's self-esteem.

    Childrens books work as audio visual aids of development.


    Long term effects of parentchild shared reading help both receptive
    and expressive language development.

    Children benefit from books in many ways and more so from story
    books. Reading is an active mental process and the story
    books

    for

    children

    help

    in

    the

    cognitive

    development.

    Stories hold childs attention, with the result children learn to


    concentrate and their capacity to remember is sharpened.

    Increased knowledge instills confidence, creativity and reasoning in


    children. They gain peer recognition. Moreover, books are the best
    of friends, so children are never lonely. This makes them less prone
    to peer pressure and media exposure

    Personality development is outcome of


    cognitive, emotional, motivational
    and temperamental attributes that
    determine childs view about himself,
    his world and the future.

    Process of personality development


    Depending on individual temperament children

    elicit

    different

    stimuli

    from

    the

    same

    environment. For example; a child with inherent


    "dependent nature" will find concerned parents
    and teachers comforting, whereas a child with
    high levels of energy and inherent low capability
    to adjust will find them intrusive and restrictive.
    -

    Behaviorist view assumes that children do not


    develop on their own.
    It consist of learning set of relatively passive
    responses to environmental stimuli such as teacher.
    The ideas that children are not intrinsically motivated
    to learn what adults deem important and that their
    recollection of pieces of knowledge given them by
    the teachers is a valued developmental outcome.

    Constructivist views of the childs mind are consistent


    with their educational practices. (child-centered).
