Benefits of Reading Stories to Preschoolers
Reading stories to preschoolers offers countless benefits. It not only helps children develop language and enrich their vocabulary but also stimulates their rich and soaring imagination. Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan, a preschool teacher with over 20 years of experience at Hoa Sen Kindergarten in Hanoi, shared in her book “Nurturing Children’s Souls”: “Stories are bridges that take children to a colorful world, helping them discover new things and form good character.”
Choosing Age-Appropriate Stories
Choosing stories that are appropriate for a child’s age is also very important. For children under 3 years old, short, simple stories with vivid illustrations are recommended. Children aged 3-5 years can grasp longer stories with more complex plots. Parents can learn more about preschool stories here.
I want to share a story about baby Minh, 4 years old. He loves listening to his mother tell stories about Uncle Cuoi on the moon. Every bright moon night, he looks up at the sky, searching for the image of Uncle Cuoi and the banyan tree. The story has nurtured his imagination, love, and curiosity about the world around him. Vietnamese fairy tales often incorporate elements of folk beliefs, such as the banyan tree, the well, and fairies, helping to nurture children’s souls close to traditional culture.
Suggested Good Stories
Here are some suggestions for good stories for preschoolers: “The Legend of Star Apple Fruit,” “The Clever Rabbit,” “Little Red Riding Hood”… Mr. Pham Van Hung, a preschool education expert, once said: “Every story is a valuable lesson.” He advises parents to spend time reading stories with their children every day to strengthen family bonds and help children develop comprehensively.

Spirituality in Fairy Tales
Vietnamese people believe that telling fairy tales to children not only helps them entertain themselves but also helps them understand moral and ethical values, while gently introducing them to the spiritual world. For example, the story of “Tam and Cam” teaches children about the law of cause and effect, that good is rewarded and evil is punished.
