From 'Just Reading Aloud' to 'Interactive' Storytelling: Natsume-sha to Release 'Interactive Picture Book Reading Aloud: 15 Stories to Foster Feeling, Thinking, and Communicating' on June 17

Natsume-sha Co., Ltd. (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, President and Representative Director: Masataka Tamura), a publisher of practical books, children's books, and educational books, will release 'Interactive Picture Book Reading Aloud: 15 Stories to Foster Feeling, Thinking, and Communicating' (https://amzn.asia/d/01NdRxKm) on June 17.

Reading aloud transforms into the ultimate 'dialogue' time.

This book is not just for reading aloud; it's a picture book with an unprecedented concept that encourages parents and children to discuss the story, illustrations, and characters' feelings while reading. Every night, reading aloud can shift from a mere 'routine' to a 'dialogue time' where you watch your child's growth from a prime seat. Experience the joy of discovering a new facet with every turn of the page, together as parent and child.

Fosters children's 'ability to feel,' 'ability to think,' and 'ability to communicate.'

By reading together and engaging in 'dialogue,' children's innate abilities to feel, think, and communicate are nurtured. The 15 stories included in this book are interspersed with gentle prompts within the narrative. These include prompts that ask about feelings like 'How do you think they felt?', prompts that encourage thinking like 'Why do you think that happened?', and prompts that call for communication like 'Tell us why you thought that,' focusing on fostering the abilities to feel, think, and communicate.
