Listening to stories improve imagination

When you listen to a story your imagination is exercised more than when you watch a movie of the story. The images in our imagination are much more personal and draw from our past experiences so the story becomes more of us as a whole. Dramatized stories take the experience much further by prompting the images in our mind as the words flow and we identify with each character of the story. This is why dramatized audio stories like Your Story Hour stories are such powerful character building tools. And kids love to listen to the stories. Actually the whole family loves listening to the stories. I have personal experience of this because I grew up with the stories and I loved listening to them over and over again. We would travel listening to the stories and the time would go so quickly we would get across the country before we realized. Bedtime was eagerly anticipated because we would get to listen to a story before we fell asleep. Your Story Hour stories are wonderful and I still love them.
