Intellectual, moral and creative development of a child is impossible without books - books have long been considered the best source of knowledge and education for children. By wisely choosing children's books, you can instill in your child a love of reading from infancy. If at the very beginning it can be educational books for the smallest, then the older the child, the more text and semantic load in the book. We will tell you how to choose the right children's book in this article.
Instructions
Step 1
In infancy, a child will undoubtedly be interested in developing toy books. Such books can be made not of paper, but of solid colored cardboard or rubber, and a plush or rubber toy can be embedded in them. The child does not yet realize that this is exactly a book - but that she tells him a story, he will understand very quickly.
Step 2
Choose educational books for the baby, based on how bright and interesting the pictures are in it, and also whether the book contains a text that is simple and understandable for the child that you will read aloud to him. Simple children's poems and fairy tales will be the best way to introduce a child who does not yet know how to read with a book.
Step 3
At two or three years old, a child can already purchase a full-fledged children's book from a small number of pages, with bright drawings and large text. There should be more drawings in such books than text - at the age of two, children still do not know how to read and learn a book through looking at pictures.
Step 4
At four years old, many children already have basic reading skills, or at least learn the alphabet with their mother. Buy books for your child that will increase his horizons and cultural education - collections of fairy tales, books about nature and animals, simple and bright encyclopedias for children.
Step 5
Such books should not be too heavy - it should not be difficult for a child to hold them in their hands while reading. By the age of five, the baby's curiosity grows even more. Here again, children's encyclopedias are relevant, telling the kid about the structure of the world around him.
Step 6
Buy educational toys and coloring books for your child, where the child needs to complete simple puzzles and tasks in order to turn the page.
Step 7
Choose books that are comfortable for children's eyesight - not too small, but not too large, with a large enough contrasting font on heavy white paper.
Step 8
Always pay attention to the drawings and illustrations in the books you buy - these illustrations are very important for children's perception of reality, so try to choose books with reasonable and adequate pictures.
