Which child does not love listening to stories? Reading aloud or narrating stories to children is not just enjoyable and rewarding, it also stimulates their interest, imagination and language. It can also have a powerful and very positive influence on the lives of kids. Such events also open up the delightful world of books to non-readers and those who are struggling to read.

Recently Schoolkutti.com Children’s conducted a story telling and reading workshop at the Castalia Summer Camp in Trivandrum. Aswathy Karnaver of Blue Sky Children’s Club shared the joy of books and reading with kids of ages 5 to 14 attending the summer camp on the 15th of April. She narrated a story about Vishu for the younger ones and read out an excerpt from the all-time-favorite ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ by Roald Dahl. Aswathy concluded by explaining how reading every day helps and why they should make regular visits to the library. The children enjoyed the wonderful interactive session that lasted for two hours.
