It is important to read to kids not only to increase their skills but also to make them feel loved. Narrating a bed time story is always a great idea to make the kids fall asleep. Nothing beats a fantastic fiction in helping a child dozing off into a fantasy world. There are so many great books out there that will help you but if you do not feel like reading from a book, make up your own stories and read to them.
