Well, it depends on your grandma's preferences and what books are available. Maybe it's some simple children's stories from a local library, such as 'The Little Red Hen'. Or perhaps it's stories from a religious book if your family is religious. Without more information, it's hard to say exactly what the stories are.
I'm not sure specifically which stories you and your grandma read aloud. It could be classic fairy tales like 'Cinderella' or 'Snow White', or it could be some family - related stories passed down through generations.
Maybe it's a great way to bond. Reading aloud together creates a special moment between you two.
Mostly we read adventure stories. Stories about brave heroes going on quests, like in 'The Odyssey'. It's exciting to read them aloud and feel the adventure.
Reading aloud stories with grandma has multiple benefits. It is an educational activity. I can enhance my pronunciation and intonation by imitating grandma. Emotionally, it deepens our relationship.

Reading a story aloud helps with memory. By vocalizing the words, your brain is more likely to remember the details of the story. It also makes the story more engaging, especially if you use different voices for different characters. This can bring the story to life and make it more enjoyable for the listener, if there is one. And it can boost your confidence in speaking.

One popular Christmas read aloud story for kids is 'The Night Before Christmas'. It has a great rhyming scheme and tells the story of Santa's visit on Christmas Eve in a very vivid way. Another is 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas'. It teaches kids about the true meaning of Christmas not being about presents but about love and togetherness. And 'Rudolph the Red - Nosed Reindeer' is also a favorite. It shows how being different can be a strength, as Rudolph uses his shiny nose to guide Santa's sleigh on a foggy night.
