Reading is Fun

Story time doesn't have to feel like a lesson. The best reading habits start with fun, not flashcards.

Let them choose

A child who picks their own story — even if it's the same one for the tenth night in a row — is a child who's excited to read. Story Time's library is free to browse, so let curiosity lead.

Do the voices

Silly voices, sound effects, and dramatic pauses turn a page of text into a performance. Don't worry about getting it "right" — getting a laugh is the win.

Talk about the pictures

Ask what a character might be thinking, or what could happen next. There's no wrong answer, and it turns reading into a conversation instead of a monologue.

Pair it with an activity

Many Story Time stories come with a coloring page, a puzzle, or a song to go with them — a fun way to stay with a story a little longer after the last page.

However you read it, the goal is the same: a few minutes of fun, together, with a good story.
