If parents love their child, then, of course, they take seriously the issues of education. From early childhood, parents read books to children, because they understand that reading performs not only aesthetic and cognitive, but also educational function. However, not all books should be read to children, even if they are considered childish. When choosing it is necessary to take into account the child's age, psychological characteristics and interests of the baby.
At the moment, there is a huge variety of children's books on the shelves, and how to choose a useful and worthy book? It is important not to succumb to the first desire and not choose a book on the bright cover and beautiful pictures. It should be borne in mind that the main thing in the book is the content. When choosing a book, it is better to know in advance what to read to a child at six.
The book is the teacher of human souls. If the kid is very keen on the book, then the task of the parents is to point exactly at those books that carry in themselves all the good and the positive. It is impossible to replace a book with something: it is capable of developing logic, memory, curiosity, attention, creative thinking. It is at the age of six that it is important for a child to instill a love for the book, so it's good to know the interests of the baby, peculiar to his age and personality. It is important to know which books should be read at 6 years old. However, books can not be imposed in any way.
Considering in the store books for children of six years, do not believe in loud names, like "the best fairy tales." Too thick books, too, should not be bought, because keeping such a book to a child is not at all convenient, which means that it is unlikely to read it. If the choice falls on the collections, then it is worth reading not only the table of contents, but also some fragments of the works. This should be done because in such books, often there are verbal errors, the texts are almost not readable, and the work of the priest is written in incomplete content, with abbreviations. At the child at the age of six years concrete thinking, and therefore for them it is necessary to clearly distinguish concepts, for example, good and evil. Hence the plot line of the work should not cause difficulties in understanding, it should not be confusing. Heroes should be clearly divided into negative and positive. In the first place, among all genres of literature, no doubt, there are fairy tales. To folk tales are now added and author's. At six years old kids can fully understand humor, and so you can introduce the child to the work of Uspensky, as his works combine household story, science fiction and satire. Certainly, N. Nosov's funny works turn out to be a good reading.
At this age, children only learn reading skills, and therefore the book must be interested: it's good if the font in the books is large, and the pictures will be colorful. However, the plot should not be forgotten - it should be interesting, then the kid will want to finish reading the book to the end.
Well, if the words in the text are stressed, the words will be divided into syllables. At this age, the book should not be associated with learning, it should only bring joy. The font in the book should be large, otherwise there may be problems with the reading technique that will repel the desire to read. When choosing a book, you should pay attention to the number of dialogues: the more, the better. Such books allow not only to read to children by roles, but also to arrange dramatized performances.
The choice of the book for reading from the home library is best left to the child: let him tell what book he wants to read today. Thus, the process will be more relaxed, and parents will be able to understand the preferences of their child.
