Reading storybook for kids
I read a storybook when I was talking with a language exchange partner on Skype.
I bought some storybooks when I was in New Zealand, but I haven't read them yet. After her reading a Japanese old story of 'Kachi Kachi Yama', I showed her my bookshelf of storybooks. Then she asked me to read one of them, and I picked 'the lion king' to read!
I was so excited rending it, but when I started reading it, I realized that reading storybooks is much more difficult to read than conversations on textbooks! She was kind enough to help my reading when there were some words I couldn't read or didn't know the meaning. I'd like to say thank you to her for giving me such a good opportunity to read it!
I understood that storybooks give a lot of vocabularies for children through they enjoy reading them!

Tomo-san, excellent notebook article, and really good use of English. I'm very interested in stories, so I like using them to study Japanese. In my first language exchange Skype meetings with one of my language partners, I read 桃太郎 and she read "Peter Pan." We still read to each other every week when we meet. (Now I read 江戸川乱歩の『怪人二十面相』to her). One thing about Japanese books for children is that many words are in ひらがな instead of 漢字, and that actually makes it harder sometimes to understand.
The way people talk is different from the way people write. 話す方法は、書き込みの方法とは異なります。So reading stories isn't perfect. But it helps me learn vocabulary and sentence patterns, and to better understand Japanese.
* "than conversations on textbooks" - I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean conversations based on the content of textbooks? Or reading sample sentences and dialogues from an English textbook?
