STORYBAGS are treasure chests of fun games and activities, designed to keep children amused for hours on end, and to enrich and stimulate growing minds. Reading aloud to your child is probably the single most important activity you can do to build the skills necessary for success in reading. Reading aloud, AND then children participating actively in the story is a tangible connection between the spoken and written word. Providing this opportunity helps children learn the skills necessary to read and keep reading. Their vocabulary and confidence will grow and grow with the right materials.
