Question

• What impact did the
story have on the
children?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Scholars have found that stories have a strong influence on children's understanding of cultural and gender roles. Stories do not just develop children's literacy; they convey values, beliefs, attitudes and social norms which, in turn, shape children's perceptions of reality

Answer 2

Stories help to develop a child's imagination by introducing new ideas into their world – ideas about fantastical worlds, other planets, different points in time and invented characters. It'll encourage the children to realise that they can, and should, imagine anything they want.
