It will hurt, "here the child sees everything that an adult is talking about and it becomes clear to him.
Reading, in addition to replenishing the vocabulary of the baby, also expands his horizons (here and the property of objects, and the knowledge of flora and fauna, and many others). Characters of books influence the formation of his behavior in the future, for it is with these characters that the child identifies himself and experiences all that is happening in their images. Let's talk about what it is recommended to read to children at different ages and why. Choosing books, cartoons and films for your crumbs, you need, first of all, pay attention to the characters (what they are, their aspirations, actions, how they relate to themselves and others, in what relationship the character is with other characters in the book), special attention should be paid to the design of the book, how vivid, talented and interesting they are illustrated (this is necessary in order to emerge empathy). Literature develops figurative thinking and imagination, and, consequently, not the last role plays in the mental development of the child. A scientifically proven fact is the connection between speech and thinking, and the more developed speech, the more logical and clearer the child's thoughts.
Love for reading in a child should be vaccinated from early childhood. And in order to do this, you must clearly know what it is that you recommend reading to children at different ages and why. Do not forget, this is a long and laborious work - not only for mom, but for the baby himself, because to perceive the story, where he does not see the situation that occur before his eyes, is still very difficult for him. Therefore, there are age stages of perception, the boundaries of which are very, very blurred, and fluctuate within 1.5-2.5 years (all of this is strictly individual for each child). In addition, a lot depends on how much time you spend reading, if a lot - you need to focus on the lower border of each age level, if little - on the top.
And so the steps:
- From one and a half to two years to three or four years - books for the youngest.
- From two and a half three to six seven years - books and a little more complicated.
- From five to eight to nine years old - fascinating adventures and funny stories.
- From the age of seven to eleven, more complex stories. They are interesting for senior preschoolers, who like to listen and read books, and have already read most of the stories from the previous section.
Books for the youngest - "turnip", "Teremok", "chicken - ryba", etc., that is, tales written in simple sentences, which involve a small number of simple and understandable words, repeated and rhyming. These tales describe usually what one simple event (Churochka demolished an egg), or a chain of similar events ("Repka" - grandfather planted a turnip, it grew and it was time to clean it, first one grandfather pulls a turnip, then he comes to help grandmother and so Further). In addition, books must necessarily be with bright colorful and believable pictures, which must be considered together with the baby and tell all that is seen, because the kid is always easier to perceive the text with the support of pictures.
Another important component of the books of this stage is the good ending of the book, which gives the child a sense of the reliability of the world, when as a bad end can lead to the emergence of various fears. At first, some psychologists recommend that even the end of the fairy tale's story be remade, saying that at the last moment he escaped from the forest.
Books are a little more complicated - poems by K. Chukovsky ("Aibolit", "Moydodyr", "Fedorino Mountain", "phone" - but not all fairy tales of this author can be read in this age range, because for this age they are still very scary and they should be transferred for 5-6 years), Verses by S.Marshak ("Here is what is scattered from the street Bassseennoy"), as well as tales about animals (Zayushkina izbashka, Lisichka with skalochkoy, Fox and the Cat and others ). These works are longer, and they consist of several episodes related in meaning. In the text, there is an increasingly frequent dialogue between heroes, which is becoming more complicated and longer. To understand what is happening, the baby needs an increasing supply of words. The good end of the fairy tale is still relevant, so as not to cause fears. So you should choose only those fairy tales where nothing terrible happens (put the red cap on to a later age (6-7 years)), for example Nosov's stories "The Living Hat". At this age, you can already ask the child to retell the reading (the main assistant in the retelling is still all the bright pictures that the child can look at on his own), and then you can start reading and learn independently. Beginning to read (age from 4 to 8 years) is also necessary with simple and short tales, accompanied by interesting, numerous illustrations.
Exciting adventures and funny stories. You can choose a very diverse book, which include the adventures of Pinocchio, Neznaika and his friends, Pippi's long stocking, fairy tales of different peoples of the world (Russian fairy tales: Princess Frog, Firebird, Morozko, Havroshechka, German: Porridge pot, Brave tailor; others), (it is here that you can start reading terrible books), the fairy tales of A.S. Pushkin, in addition, and ironic stories, fables and poems. In addition to the fact that the books are read by parents, now the child can read it himself, many children read boozes, vividly imagining themselves in the place of heroes, and at this stage the children have quite developed imagination and illustrations are not so important for them.
More complex stories, interesting to preschoolers who like to listen and read books and have already read most of the stories from the previous section, are "The Scarlet Flower", and "Mowgli", "The Kingdom of Curved Mirrors", and "The Snow Queen", etc. books with a more complex picture of the world, in which the characters learn to make decisions in difficult life situations, build relationships with each other, give in and change. The text of the work also becomes more complicated, the plot becomes ornate and multidirectional, the descriptions of the feelings and emotions of the characters take up most of the time, as well as the reflections of the characters and the author's digressions, any situation can already be viewed from several sides (how many heroes so many visions of the situation).
So there is a gradual complication of books from the simplest (Kolobok) and to complex ornate novels such as war and peace.
You're still asking - "Why read aloud to a baby?"
If parents had taught children to read as a child, then any dvoechnik would have better vocabulary, imagination, and with assimilation of educational material, too, would be all right. Do not wait for your baby to grow up, you can read and babies, because the child is enough to hear the voice of my mother, see her expression and emotion. When a child turns a year, he, imitating adults, will be able to take and examine pictures in books, begin to make sounds that mean this or that animal. At the age of 3 years the child will be able to retell the tales, learn the quatrains .... That's right, step by step we help our children learn to think.
Unfortunately, in the development of the child, reading takes a key position and while there are no other alternatives to reading. So read the child a lot and more often!
