In the hectic world in which we live, many do not stop to maintain traditions such as reading stories to the little ones of the house. Therefore, we bring you the best option if you have little time, our selection of short stories for children in PDF format, which you can read to them at any time from one of your electronic devices.

In other opportunities, we have talked about the benefits of reading stories to children, since they create emotional bonds, enrich their vocabulary, expand their imagination and a lot of other wonders. None of that is lost in this collection of short stories for children we have made with childhood in mind.

Reading stories to children also has great advantages. As you may already know, children have a much shorter attention span than adults. The younger they are, the less they can keep their attention in front of what they are told. Therefore, this is a great alternative for them, as you can make sure they hear the whole story and get the rest of the benefits.

Also, short stories usually have a condensed emotion, as in a few words you have to create the atmosphere and leave a complete sense of the story. Therefore, everything happens fast, and writers usually pour all their ingenuity into coming up with engaging mini-stories that grab the reader and leave them with a peculiar feeling at the end.

Children will want to try more of these short stories. It’s like tasting a small bite of a delicious candy, the feeling at the end is of wanting much more, so it will be easier for you to install in them the habit of reading that will do them so much good in the future.

Take a look right now at the more than 15 short stories for children in PDF format that we have gathered so that you don’t lose this fascinating tradition.
