Books are the best nutrition in the world.
For children, books are the best tools to know and explore the world.
every book is a small world. When countless small worlds are integrated in children's minds, an invisible net is formed.
The more books a child reads, the bigger the net; The richer the content of reading, the more colorful the net will be.
We can't deny that reading can tap and cultivate children's hobbies; Reading will make children form good character and sound personality; Reading can increase children's self-confidence. And all this will affect a person's life.
Reading is the best way for a person to grow up all his life. At the same time, I think reading is a journey to find himself-the starting point of this journey is the birth of a child; The end point is the end of a person's life.
There is an old saying in China called "Read thousands of books and take Wan Li Road". For most people, "going to Wan Li Road" is not difficult to achieve, but "reading thousands of books" is really a headache.
Today's parents of young children are mainly born in 198s. This group of people has an obvious mark of the times: most of the post-8s groups have received higher education, but this kind of education is exam-oriented and passive. As a result, the parents of the post-8s generation have a very avant-garde awareness in the education of their children, but they are slightly lacking in specific educational methods.
Returning to children's reading, we find that many parents attach great importance to their children's reading guidance at present, but it is also difficult for parents who are not good at reading.
In parent-child reading, parents often encounter the following three major problems:
First of all, we should think, are these problems the children's fault? How can we solve these problems and make children love reading?
in view of the above problems, I have summed up some experiences through parent-child reading in the past four years and shared them with you.
The key to children's inability to read books is not their poor comprehension ability, but their parents' wrong choice of books.
Let me give you a very simple example. If you tell a one-year-old child the story of "Little Red Riding Hood", the child will not only understand it, but will certainly not like it.
why?
Because the one-year-old children's understanding of language is very limited, they are still in the process of exploring the world. What interests them is very simple and intuitive things, such as colors, shapes and some very simple sounds.
I believe that every parent has the experience of choosing the wrong book, and so do I.
understanding the psychology and characteristics of children of different ages is the premise of choosing the right book.
We found that the classification of books on major websites is relatively general and not very detailed. General booksellers divide children's books into two categories: -3 years old and 3-6 years old. However, every stage of children's growth has very distinct characteristics, especially during the period of -3 years old. Almost every month, we can see that children's cognition has made rapid progress. If we really buy books for one-year-old children in the range of -3 years old when choosing books, the deviation may be great.
how on earth should we choose books?
The following will take children aged -5 as an example to give parents a preliminary understanding of the method and importance of "graded reading".
infants aged -1 are in the exploratory period.
Parents can choose things recognition cards, cloth books, audio books and touch books for their infants (by touching different materials of books, such as dog hair, crocodile skin and bird feathers, children can feel the wonderful world).
◎ 4 books (sets) suitable for children aged -1
1. Bright and Exquisite Touch Books
(This is a set of touch books with 4 volumes: Billy Rabbit, Oscar the Otter, Ozzie the Owl and Bobby the Bear. These four books introduce four kinds of small animals respectively. They have fur with different textures. If children touch them, they will have a very intuitive impression on animals. )
2. Listen, what's the sound
(This is an audio book, which brings together 36 kinds of "real soundtracks" such as animals, traffic, musical instruments and nature, and is a bilingual reading. )
3. Toy Book of Chickens' Good Habits and Dolls
(This is a very interesting toy book, which is very suitable for the parent-child interaction of infants. )
4.
Picture Book of Baby's Vision Enlightening Wisdom (This set of books is very suitable for infants to read, enlightening infants to recognize colors and lines, and thus relating them to life. )
Children in this period are in the cognitive stage. Most children learn to speak and walk during this period, and have a preliminary understanding of the world.
Flip through books, pop-up book, cave books and audio books are very good choices for children to read at this stage.
My daughter likes a set of flip books very much, which is a series of children flip books.
There are 7 volumes in this book, namely I want to poop, I want to brush my teeth, I want to take a shower, Hello, Strawberry Snacks, Here comes the bus and I like swimming.
This set of books describes our daily life scenes, which will make children have a spiritual sound. Moreover, this set of books is a very interesting three-dimensional flip book with very few words, and the flip of the books will show very vivid and interesting pictures. Even if adults don't explain, children can understand the content in the process of turning pages.
◎ 4 books (sets) suitable for children aged 1-2
1. Dear Zoo
(A set of picture books for children to know about small animals, English title: Dear Zoo, English version is highly recommended. )
2, "Look, naked!
(1-2-year-old children will be curious about their own bodies, and this book is very suitable for children around 2 years old ~)
3. Revealing the Little World with Fun
(This is a set of flip books, including four volumes of cities, forests, oceans and seasons, and there is also the second volume of Animal's Home and Farm. This set of books is very nice.
4. The first set of cave books and the second set of cave books
(The first set includes two volumes of whimsical three-dimensional toy books, and the second set includes two volumes of Zoo in Rainy Days and Follow Me, Elf; This set of books is very famous, known as the French national treasure children's book)
2-3 years old is the period of children's active exploration and learning.
Sticker books, audio books, game books (such as maze books) and picture books with animals as the main characters or life as the theme are very popular with children. However, the number of words in picture books should not be too many, and it is appropriate to use 15 -2 words.
I recommend a great set of books for parents of children aged 2-3: Eubourne World Classic Fairy Tales Paper Carved Book. This book has four volumes: Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast and Sleeping Beauty.
This set of books is particularly exquisite and beautiful. Each page of the book is carved, and each page is related, which is full of three-dimensional sense and very eye-catching. Most importantly, this set of books has few words, which is especially suitable for children aged 2-3. This set of books is also available in English, but I still recommend the reading chinese version. Because the reading level of the English version is beyond the range that children can understand.
There is also a set of children's songs book to recommend to you: Music and Fun Interactive Voice Book: I can sing children's songs.
This book is a very good English enlightenment book, which contains 2 classic English children's songs. Its sound quality is very good. Children's songs are sung by adult female voices. Not only is the pronunciation standard, but children also sound very like their mothers' voices, which is very kind.
This book is one of my daughter's favorite books. The most gratifying thing is that in the process of listening to the book repeatedly, the child learned all the nursery rhymes in the book.
◎ 4 books (sets) suitable for children aged 2-3
1. Quantum Physics of Babies
(a very simple popular science book, suitable for children aged about 2. In fact, this set of books can also be read at the age of 1-2, but children's understanding ability is limited during this period, and personally feel that reading at the age of 2-3 is better. )
2. Serena rushes forward
(This is a book for children's sexual enlightenment. In parent-child reading, parents are advised not to read too much, but to let the children understand and experience themselves in repeated reading over and over again. )
3. French children's music enlightenment vocal book
(highly recommended! ! ! This set of audio books has excellent sound quality! The track is super classic! )
4. Peppa's First 1 Words ("1 words of Peggy"
) Piggy Peggy is a very powerful IP, and children like it very much. This book will make children feel a sense of intimacy from TV to things in life. Learning 1 common words from this book is very effective. )
3-4 years old is a critical period for children's language enlightenment and thinking enlightenment, and it is also a critical period for cultivating good habits.
Facing the children in this period, we can buy some books with high knowledge content, such as enlightenment books, science fiction picture books and popular science picture books. Of course, fairy tale books are indispensable, and even these interesting and bizarre story books account for half of the books read by children aged 3-4. These books can not only develop children's imagination and logical thinking ability, but also cultivate children's interests in different aspects.
I solemnly recommend a set of enlightenment books: Moby loves mathematics. This set of books is systematic, scientific and interesting. Children can get in touch with mathematics and learn mathematical thinking through this set of books. It is a very good teaching material for children's thinking enlightenment ~
◎ 5 books (sets) suitable for children aged 3-4
1. The science fiction picture book recommended by Liu Cixin for children
(highly recommended! ! ! This set of picture books consists of 4 volumes: Breaking into Wormholes by mistake, Saka Star Man, Black Hole Maker and Star Wars. This set of books is very interesting and has a certain knowledge content, and children must never get tired of reading it. )
2. The Little Prince
(Philosophical fairy tales are very, very worth reading, and children over 3 years old can generally understand them. )
3. Miyanishi series picture books
(I like Miyanishi's picture books very much. They are warm and loving. )
4. "Children's English Enlightenment Audio Picture Book"
(Highly recommended! ! ! A set of 12 volumes, from simple to difficult to read in grades. This set of books is very, very good. Not only is the content interesting, but there is a children's song at the back of each book, which connects the contents of the whole book in series. Children's songs are very nice. There is another reason that I strongly recommend it, that is, you can listen to the original sound by scanning the code, and parents who can't pronounce correctly no longer have to worry about their pronunciation ~)
5. My first Chinese character book/Chinese characters are drawn
(3-4 years old children are the best age for Chinese character enlightenment. The books produced by Xiaoxiang Chinese characters are very good. Pictographic literacy is a very scientific literacy method, which is not only vivid, but also allows children to understand the history of Chinese characters and the principle of word creation. It is a very good book for children to read. )
4-5-year-old children have the ability to think independently, so the interest of books and the interaction between parents and children in reading are extremely important.
A set of books that I highly recommend is The Magic School Bus. This is a very interesting set of science fiction picture books. In fact, you can read this set of picture books after you are 3 years old, because each child's understanding is different. It is the best time to contact this set of books around 4 years old.
This set of books can not only enable children to acquire a lot of knowledge, but also teach parents another method of education-immersion education-to explore and find answers in nature and life.
I think 4-5 years old is also an ideal period for children's language and Chinese learning enlightenment.
In fact, many children begin their language and Chinese studies enlightenment at the age of 3, but at the age of 4-5, their language and Chinese studies enlightenment can be deepened a little. For example, learn the principle of Chinese characters; Learn the general meaning of ancient poetry; Learn to use simple words and sentences; Learn to express simple English sentence patterns ...
At this stage, children will have a very strong interest in learning. If we allocate time reasonably and combine work and rest, it will definitely make children's learning effect more effective with half the effort.
◎ 5 books (sets) suitable for children aged 4-5
1. Ancient Poems for Children
(It is not so much an ancient poem for children as an ancient poem for children and adults. This book subverts our previous cognition of ancient poems, and Mr. Ye Jiaying corrected the pronunciation of many ancient poems. This book can be said to be the most authoritative ancient poetry book so far, and it is a textbook book for children and parents to learn together. )
2. The Big Universe
(This is a new book with an eye-catching picture and easy to understand. It's a great popular science book. )
3. Leonardo da Vinci
(This is also a new book, which has been included in my recent book list. Why do you read this book to your children? Apart from its lovely style and excellent content, the character Leonardo da Vinci is an example worthy of children's learning. The book has a little more words and is suitable for children of this age. At the same time, I also have a biography of Leonardo da Vinci, so that children can know that their mother is reading the same book. Is it more interesting for children? )
4. Fantasy Science
(The content of this picture book is very extensive, including many disciplines such as astronomy and geography, which can greatly satisfy children's curiosity. )
5. Disney Bilingual Classic Movie Story
(This classic movie picture book is my daughter's favorite book. Parents can let their children learn the same story from two dimensions by "reading+watching movies". The combination of books and movies will produce a very wonderful chemical reaction, and Disney's classic movie stories are really inexhaustible. It should be noted that this set of books is slightly thicker and has a little more words, which can well cultivate children's specialization.
