Storytime at Hill Country Day School is a daily dose of magic! Beyond giggles and cozy moments, reading aloud supercharges preschoolers’ language skills. Here’s why storytime matters and how we make it special.
Expands Vocabulary
Hearing new words in stories helps toddlers talk and think. Books like The Very Hungry Caterpillar introduce words like “cocoon.” Our teachers pause to explain, making every story a mini lesson.
Sharpens Listening Skills
Sitting for a story teaches focus. Preschoolers learn to follow plots and predict what’s next, boosting comprehension. Our interactive read-alouds, with questions and sound effects, keep kids engaged.
Ignites Imagination
Stories spark creativity. A tale about dragons inspires pretend play, helping kids express ideas. Our puppet shows bring books to life, turning listeners into storytellers.
Our Storytime Approach
At Hill Country Day School, storytime is an adventure. We use props, voices, and group discussions to make books exciting. Our cozy reading nook invites every child to fall in love with stories.
Tips for Parents
Make bedtime stories fun! Ask “What happens next?” or let your child “read” the pictures. Try classics like Where the Wild Things Are. Visit your library for new titles.
