Family Storytime Tips

A woman and a child are reading a book under a blanket.

Make every Storytime count.


Reading together is more than just fun—it’s a chance to grow hearts and spark conversations. Here’s how to turn TinyTales into meaningful moments:


  • Ask Character Questions
    “What would you have done in Leafy’s place?”


  • Spot the Trait
    “Who showed courage in the story?”


  • Link to Real Life
    “Did something like this happen at school today?”


 These gentle prompts help kids reflect, relate, and build empathy—without feeling like a lesson.
