Stories for 3 year olds

A 3-year-old child listens to stories with pictures more than words, and can pay attention to short paragraphs, not the whole story. The stories here have situations that children have encountered at home or in class, each page has a clear picture. The entire story is about 10 minutes long — for a 3-year-old, the appropriate way to use it is to listen to half and save the rest for later.

Frequently asked questions

How long should a 3-year-old child listen to a story each time?

About 3–5 minutes each session is just right for your child's ability to concentrate. The stories here are longer than that, so use the progress bar to stop in the middle of the story and continue listening the next time — your child will still be able to follow the flow because each page is a complete idea.

My 3 year old child can't sit still and listen to the whole story, is that okay?

No problem. At this age, children often listen while doing other things and still receive information. What needs to be kept is the habit of having a story session every day, not the fact that the child sits well.

Should 3-year-old children listen to stories with lessons?

Yes, as long as the lesson is in a visible action, such as putting a toy in a basket. If the lesson is said as advice, the child cannot use it.
