Free Fun Stories for Children   Our free stories are specialy written to help children develop, a very brief summary of our aims are: By stimulating children's imagination their creative abilities develop. The carefully selected use of words and language develops understanding. Fun short stories fit within a childs initial attention span and stimulates the desire for more. Gradualy increasing story length develops children's attention span. Enjoyment of stories stimulates the desire in children to read for themselves. We aim to provide a number of free stories each week at least some with high quality full colour illustrations.   If it helps we will email you when story collections change, please click the following button:     Click Here    to Register for more Free Stories.     Reading Age   We are frequently asked about children's reading age issues.   The simple fact is every child is different in many ways, there is no such thing as One Size Fits All.   Parent's Summary: Children hear and understand stories long befor they can read, thus Hearing Age and Reading Age are two different things. Do not worry about specific reading age, just find stories children enjoy. The sooner children start to enjoy stories and start to develop reading skills the better. Encouraging children early by reading stories to them should start their interest in stories and ultimately the desire to read for themselves.

Improves the use of language and understanding Enables access to daily information (eg: notices, internet, printed news, leaflets) Helps indivuduals be more self reliant (eg: self teaching from how to manuals) Improves employment prospects and success   ...so it's down to the rest of us to help them.   Childrens-Stories.net provides some help with Free Children's Stories available on just about any modern device with a screen including Smart TV sets, Children can read with a parent in the family livingroom or with a teacher in the classroom environment.   One of our future developments is TVstories™, for more information please click the following button:   TVstories     Click Here       Famous Author Comments        Best selling author Philip Pullman thinks:   "...parents should start by reading nursery rhymes to babies... ...it is about fun."           Former Children's laureate Anne Fine says:   "Children pick up on the magic of reading during these periods."   Help Spread The Word   If you can, please provide a link to Childrens-Stories.net and tell others about our efforts to help children enjoy reading.   Thanks
