If the school curriculum does not always inspire children, voluntary reading may be more fruitful. Teachers are confident that reading during the holidays helps a child develop thinking, imagination, visual memory, as well as a love of books.
Instructions
Step 1
The task of the parents is to help the child choose books for the summer. It is to help, and not to impose your opinion and tastes. It is necessary to build on the interests of the child himself, his age, as well as the level of his development. Sometimes 10-year-olds outgrow their peers, and it would be a big mistake to offer them books for younger students.
Step 2
Already several generations of children have been delighted with the book for extracurricular reading "The Wizard of the Emerald City". It was written by Alexander Melentyevich Volkov. Rather, he translated and supplemented the work of the American writer Lyman Frank Baum "The Amazing Wizard of Oz".
Step 3
However, Volkov also has a continuation in the form of the works "Urfin Deuce and His Wooden Soldiers", "Seven Underground Kings", "The Fiery God of the Marrans", "Yellow Mist" and "The Mystery of an Abandoned Castle". The latest book in the series will be of interest not only to children of 7-10 years old, but even to 12-year-olds.
Step 4
Parents can invite their child to read the wonderful books by Mark Twain "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" and "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" during the holidays. Both works remain relevant even in the 21st century, as they are filled with inimitable "Twain" humor and adventures. In addition, children will be interested in reading Twain's books such as The Connecticut Yankees at the Court of King Arthur and The Prince and the Pauper. Although these books are intended for younger and middle school students, many parents will gladly re-read them.
Step 5
Among the new authors, teachers recommend the following books for extracurricular reading: U. Schweikert "Heirs of the Night" (series), K. S. Lewis "The Chronicles of Narnia" (series), D. Yemets "Methodius Buslaev" (series). Modern teenagers love the fantasy genre, so such books for the summer should please them.
Step 6
The works "Polianna" by E. Porter, "Thomasina" by P. Galliko, "White Bim Black Ear" by G. Troepolsky are very suitable for the development of empathy for others. Girls will be interested in the writer Lydia Charskaya and her books "Notes of a Schoolgirl", "Princess Javakha", "Siberian Girl", etc.
Step 7
It is necessary to say separately about the adventure literature. Besides modern fantasy like Tolkien's, kids need classics. These include the works of prominent writers such as Jules Verne, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Daniel Defoe, Arthur Conan Doyle, Alexander Dumas.
Step 8
If your child is not yet familiar with Captain Fifteen, Tarzan, Sherlock Holmes and The Earl of Monte Cristo, try to get them to read these books as soon as possible. Of course, if the works meet his interests and age.
