Educational stories for children
Children learn happily through stories. In an educational story the hero practises the same thing as the child, such as brushing teeth, telling the time or a times table, and succeeds by the end.
What can an educational story help with?
- Everyday skills: potty training, brushing teeth, washing hands and getting dressed.
- Social skills: taking turns, sharing, saying sorry and making up.
- Early reading: rhymes and syllables, letters and sounds.
- Maths: counting to ten, telling the time, money, times tables and fractions.
- The world around us: weather and seasons, animals and why we need sleep.
