Why Interactive Storytime is the Key to Early Literacy

Reading to children is one of the best ways to build strong literacy skills—but did you know that making storytime interactive can take learning to the next level?

At The Phonics Mama, we believe in bringing books to life with hands-on activities, movement, and creative play. Here’s why interactive storytime is so powerful and how our Story Boxes help little learners grow!

📖 What is Interactive Reading?

Interactive reading is more than just flipping pages—it's about engaging kids in the story through questions, movement, and hands-on activities. Instead of just listening, children become active participants in the reading experience.

🚀 The Benefits of Interactive Storytime

✨ Boosts Comprehension – Kids understand and remember stories better when they engage with them.
✨ Builds Vocabulary – Talking about the story and acting it out introduces new words in a meaningful way.
✨ Develops Critical Thinking – Asking questions and making predictions helps little ones think deeper.
✨ Encourages a Love for Reading – Making books fun turns reading into something kids want to do!
