Preschool literature for children. What to read to preschoolers? Works of poets and writers from different countries

The books in this section are very different. There are stories for all tastes: scary tales (for example, fairy tales of different nations in retelling for children), and funny and funny adventures (for example, the adventures of Dunno and Mafin's donkey, Pinocchio and Moomins, Koska the rabbit and Pippi Longstocking) , and the ironic narratives of Gregory Oster and Alan Milne. There are short fables and long stories, poetry and prose. But let us note that poetry is becoming less and less, and more prose. After all, children of this age already really like fascinating stories full of adventures and suspense.

Some of these books are published in different versions - with a large number of bright pictures or in a more "adult" form, where there are few or no pictures at all. Preschoolers, even the oldest and the smartest, are better off buying books in a bright and colorful design, pictures help them imagine the heroes of the book and the events that happen to them.

At this age, the child usually already knows how to read and the task of the parents is to teach himget pleasure from this process. It is very important that a work that is not difficult for its age does not fall into the hands of a little fidget. Otherwise, the child will not understand well what he is reading, and this can discourage interest in books for life. Therefore, when giving your child the first books for independent reading, choose those with a lot of pictures and little text. Let the child read "Ryaba Hen" and "Kolobok" himself. Familiar fairy tales will help you painlessly overcome the stage "I read that - I don't know what."

However, even if your child already reads well himself, be sure to continue reading aloud to him, as reading is a huge work for a child at this age. Imagine that someone suggested that you solve trigonometric inequalities at your leisure, you would wrinkle your nose and prefer an alternative form of relaxation. The difference between you and your child is that at the age of thirty you can get involved in trigonometry, but you can not. A child at his sixth needs to get carried away with reading - there is a school ahead, where you will have to read every day, in large quantities, and preferably - with pleasure.

And, most importantly, read yourself at home. If mom sits down on the sofa every evening with a book, and dad regularly studies magazines with interest, the baby will be sure: daily reading is the same "obligatory life program" as TV or morning washing.

List of good books for children 7-8 years old

Hello! As promised, I am writing a list of books for the youngest students. You know, I googled here for the sake of interest and found a lot of combined lists on the Internet. For example: a list of books for preschoolers and younger students. Or another: for children 7-12 years old. Well, how can this be combined ??? At 7 I am fascinated by one thing, and at 12 it is completely different;) Yes, I can see it from my own child. What did not work last year is going with a bang. Each book should come in due time;) And you can re-read what you like endlessly, the main thing is to start on time;) In short, I am an opponent of such an association, even the thought creeps in to me that people (or organizations) simply cannot collect enough books for one or a different age, so they write everything ...

_________________
Children need to be pampered, only then real robbers grow out of them;) (C)

In order not to ask the question "How to teach a child to read?", Be puzzled to others - "What books should I offer to a child?" If you show what literature is capable of, how an artistic word spurred on by your own imagination paints a familiar environment in outlandish colors, then you won't have to force and accustom anyone. Children themselves will remind you that it's time to update the library, and bookstores will entice them much more than showcases with toys or electronic gadgets.

Children's books: read independently or listen to parents

While the kid cannot read, everything is clear: he listens to his favorite fairy tales, children's poems and stories performed by mom, dad and other literate relatives. But what to do when science has been mastered and the little one smartly and quite consciously puts letters into syllables, syllables into words, and words into sentences, so much so that no comments can be made? Many parents at this stage decide: "Enough, have read - now, dear, myself." And they are making a serious mistake.

Reading together is an act of delightful spiritual intimacy. Cozily sitting side by side, maintaining bodily contact, you enjoy a general immersion in the space created by the writer: you soar into the heavenly heights, find yourself in the underwater kingdom, travel through summer to winter and through the mountains to the oceans.

Why parents need to read aloud to a child 6-7 years old:

  • Favorable conditions for communication are created.
  • A field of joint experiences is being formed.
  • There is an opportunity to explain words and circumstances of the work that are incomprehensible to the child.
  • The author's text is saturated with personal (with your voice, you translate the author's impersonal appeals to your child, make him participate in what is happening).
  • Phonemic hearing develops.
  • Interest in reading as a pastime is stimulated.

But, of course, as he grows up, the child reads more and more books on his own. The transition from reading aloud to reading on your own should be smooth.

  • Encourage your child to occasionally change the roles of "reader" - "listener".
  • Read children's books by role by acting out the scenes.
  • Ask the young book reader to read to you while you are busy with your household chores.

How to choose works for children 6-7 years old

Reading teaches kindness and wisdom, compassion and resourcefulness, friendship and responsibility. In order for these lessons to give the expected effect and to be forever imprinted in the mind of a preschooler with inviolable moral principles, it is important to choose works in which morality is presented in a plot that is fascinating and understandable for the child. What is interesting to read about six-year-olds? Eureka knows.

Books about nature and animals

By reading about nature, birds and animals, the child learns to show kindness and care, to be careful and attentive to the world around him. The beauty of forests and seas, fields and rivers, glorified by the masters of the artistic word, the experiences of the representatives of the animal world described by them, educate morality and mercy in the preschooler.

What topics are interesting for your child? We will be happy to get acquainted with your selection of the best books for a child of 6-7 years old, or we will offer you new works for wishlist.

Happy and exciting parenting!

Live communication with the book that the kid "reads" with his mother is a significant step towards the development of his imaginative thinking and intelligence. A good book generously fills the child's need for new information and gives him new impressions that will stay with him for life. With the help of the printed word, parents can find the shortest way for a child to understand what kindness, generosity, nobility, true friendship are.

Acquaintance with books from 0 to 5-6 months

Acquaintance with the book is possible already at a very tender age (from 0 to 5-6 months), and it is better to start it with children's poems and songs: babies feel very well the poetic and musical rhythm. Still not understanding the meaning of words, they are already able to adequately respond to their rhythm and the intonation of their mother's voice: if mother's words sound playful and cheerful, the baby smiles; if mom speaks in a serious voice, he also becomes serious. This is how vital emotions are formed in the baby.

Toy books from 6 months to a year

From 5-6 months, the child begins to actively use his hands - he likes to touch various objects, shake them, taste them. The time comes for the kid to get acquainted with toy books that help develop his tactile memory and fine motor skills, which in turn stimulates the development of speech. A child can feel such a book, study the material from which it is made with the help of fingers, taste it and examine the pictures. This is how the baby has the first experience of communicating with the book.

Illustrations in such books should be large, bright, better with different textures and, if possible, "speaking". For example, a cow, when touched, begins to moo, and a dog begins to bark. And the mother must help the baby to learn how to "communicate" with them correctly: take the baby in her arms, leaf through the book together, examine it, press together on the sounding devices and rejoice. Children under one year old are able to concentrate on a book for just a few seconds, so for a child of this age, you can buy several bright books. They should be within the reach of the baby, then he will gladly reach from one to the other. If you notice that your child's interest in books has cooled, remove them and offer new ones. After some time, the baby will be happy to look at the "old" books again.

Toy books can be with or without text. The text, in turn, should be small and rhythmic - for example, in the form of small melodious quatrains. They must be read in a chant and with a well-defined intonation.

There are many such books on the book market now. When choosing them, among other things, you need to pay attention to whether the hygiene requirements for such publications are met. First of all, look at the material from which they are made - it must be safe for the child, durable and, preferably, washable.

Books from 1 to 2 years old

At the age from one to two years, more and more new words appear in the child's vocabulary. The kid has to systematize them, comparing them with specific objects and memorizing them in their own way. In order for a strong connection between an object and its "name" to form in the child's mind, this chain must be repeated many times: "the object is its name." And here again a smart, kind book comes to the rescue.

At this age, many children are especially fond of books about animals. Studying them, a child can fall in love, for example, with a cat and for some time will not notice other animals depicted in the book at all. He will again and again happily turn the pages of his books, looking for cats in them. Such "love" can be used to broaden the child's horizons - for example, to tell where the kitty lives, what it eats, what habits it has. This is how the child develops the first conscious interest in the book as a source of positive emotions and new knowledge.

It's time for a one-year-old child to master short, unpretentious fairy tales with endless repetitions - "Kolobok" ("I left my grandmother ..."), "Turnip" ("Pull - pull") and others. Repetitions help the child to better imagine what is happening and to assimilate the meaning of what he heard.

At the age of up to 2 years, illustrations continue to play a large role - visual images and words gradually become one whole for the baby, and this is already the basis for the development of visual-figurative thinking. Drawings from the first books help to form an accurate idea of \u200b\u200bthe world in which he came to the child. This is why books for this age should be well illustrated. And adults need to help the child connect the picture and the text together. When buying the book itself or a collection of fairy tales and poems, pay attention to their decoration. Books for kids should contain a minimum of text and a maximum of illustrations. The most important requirement for drawings in books for young children is that the picture is large, colorful, picturesque, and most importantly, understandable to the baby. If the baby does not understand what is shown in the illustrations, he will lose interest in this book.

For example, when mom or dad read the text, they look at the illustrations to the text and ask the child about the following questions: "Who is drawn here? Do you remember, we read about him now?" You can buy a puppet theater, then you can read the text and simultaneously show the characters of the fairy tale. For the same purpose, books with three-dimensional pictures should be added to the baby's first library. While the baby's ears are listening to the fairy tale, his mobile fingers open and close the door of the hut, roll the bun along the path, stroke the fluffy back of the chanterelle. You just need to make sure that the baby's actions correspond to the text read at that moment - then the baby will better absorb the content and will not lose interest in the reading process itself. Pay attention to his eyes and facial expressions as well. The child's emotions will tell you a lot: what surprised him, made him happy, frightened. An observant mother, after such classes, will be able to draw some conclusions about the character of the growing man (how sensitive, fearful, receptive, etc. he is).

When you sit down with your child to read a book, do not forget to first create an atmosphere appropriate for this activity - nothing should distract the child's attention from reading. To enhance the emotional perception of the text, sometimes you can put on quiet classical music - pick it up in advance so that it matches the intonation of the work being read.

A child from one to two years old can look at a book for 10-20 minutes, but do not force him to do it by force, otherwise you will disgust books.

Reading from 2 to 3 years

A two-year-old child continues to explore the world through imitation, so reading at this age should be accompanied by a picture of the action taking place on the pages of the book. For example, my mother opens her palms wide and wiggles her fingers, showing how a butterfly flies in, then puffs out her cheeks and spreads her arms out - the clumsy Toptygin hobbles through the forest. Thus, a three-dimensional picture is built in the baby's mind: he hears what his mother reads to him about Mishka Kosolap, sees his image in the drawing and, in addition, with the help of his mother's movements, he learns what clumsiness is. After the baby, he will try to portray the club-footed Bear - at this age he really likes to be a "repeat": jump like a bunny, wave his tail like a mouse, and break a testicle, and then cry over him, like a grandfather with a woman ...

By the age of three, the baby already speaks well and turns into a real little thing - questions are pouring out of him, like from a cornucopia, including during reading. While reading the book, explain to the child all incomprehensible words and expressions, just do not overdo it. There is a funny example: the mother, who was explaining to the child what "tsokotukha" is, went into such a jungle that the child fell asleep without waiting for his favorite fairy tale. Read the text several times - kids love it. When there are fewer questions, it becomes possible to work on the content of the read.

Coloring books and books, in which the image of objects is inserted directly into the text, increase the child's motivation to read: going from picture to word, the child will try to "read" on his own.

At the same age, it is appropriate to explain to a child how a book is arranged - why do you need a cover, binding, title page. It can be said that a book, like a person, has its own passport - a title page, its own style of clothing - a format, a "talking cover" that tells us about the author of this book, about the title. Ask your child to describe in words what the picture on the cover is about and use it to guess what the book is about.

Children of this age love to re-read their favorite fairy tales several times. Every time before the baby starts reading, offer another fairy tale, even if you are sure of his refusal. At this age, the child is overwhelmed by a crisis of contradictions, so your goal can be achieved by the method of the opposite: if you don't want it, you don't need it, then I'll read it to a doll or bear. In a second, the child will say: "Read to me too!" Children under the age of three or even four years old listen mainly to the melody of the text, verse, they poorly reproduce the storyline. And they learn to react to the text by looking at you. Therefore, show your emotions correctly and do not be afraid to read the little "Cockroach" by K. Chukovsky: this is scary for you, from the height of your life experience. And for a child, this poem is nothing more than a cheerful performance with a cheerful rhythmic pattern. Children at this age do not complete the logical chain and do not think, for example, about what will happen to the wolves if they eat each other.

Children's books from 3 to 6 years old

In the period from 3 to 6 years old, the child grows up quickly, and with him his books grow up. For this age, the tales of Pushkin, Andersen, Ershov, Volkov, Bazhov, Russian folk tales are suitable. So that the kid does not get lost in literary events and images, ask him to retell what he has read - everything in order, from the very beginning. This will develop his memory and logic.

A children's book is a harmony of text and graphics, text and extra-textual information. Don't forget about the illustration. At this stage, it will serve as a practical guide in communicating with the book. The drawing should be designed for long-term viewing, the child returns to it more than once. The text next to the picture makes the latter "readable". In parallel with reading, looking at illustrations helps to deeper comprehend what you read.

At this age, the child can already perceive a work of art only by ear. For his better perception, read the baby. And in order for children to accumulate not only information about the characters and events, but also to learn to connect the content of the book with its design and vice versa, it is imperative that immediately after reading, each book read should be considered with the children according to all the rules:

  • first, the mother "eye to eye" reads the text to the child and does not show pictures;
  • then we look at the cover together, then slowly turn over the pages;
  • thinking over what is shown on the cover, distinguishing between illustrations and inscriptions;
  • we demonstrate the order of reading the inscriptions from top to bottom, select the author's name and the title of the book among the inscriptions on the cover;
  • we correlate the author's surname with the child's personal reading experience, and the title of the book with the picture on the cover
  • should be expressive, correctly placing accents-stresses. If you find it difficult to do this right off the bat, practice it first.

By the age of 5, some children begin to read on their own, but this is not worth it - as a result of scientific research, it has been proven that until the age of 6, a child mainly develops the right hemisphere, which is responsible for aesthetic development, and only then the left hemisphere is connected (mathematical ), which is also responsible for reading.

For parents who want reading to remain one of their child's lifelong hobbies, there are important points to keep in mind.

First, one should take into account the psychophysical characteristics inherent in children of each age group.

Third, instill in your child a respect for the book. It's good if the family is initially sensitive to books. At the very least, books should be kept in a specific location. The kid should be taught from an early age that the book should not be torn, it should be read or examined carefully - it is "alive", it tells us many fascinating stories. You can introduce a tradition at home: “invite” each new book into the house as the most dear guest, “seat” it in a place of honor on the bookshelf among other books-friends. Look at the illustrations for the new book, guess who or what it will tell the story about. One should read a new book only when the child is emotionally ready for. Fourthly, do not read hastily with the child, turn reading into a kind of ritual. The child can take a position that is comfortable for him - most often the kids climb to their mother's lap. Plant it so that you can see the reaction of the crumbs. For the first time, read "eye to eye" without being distracted by the illustration. Explain to your child that the book doesn't like being interrupted. Then look at the pictures and ask the child questions to them, try to find out if he understands what is at stake, or if something is not clear to him. Be sure to explain what the child did not understand and read the text again.

Fifth, in order not to discourage the child from reading, never force him to read, And do not look at the clock - be guided only by whether the baby is interested or not. Never shame your child (especially in the presence of strangers) for not picking up a book for a whole week - this can cause him mental trauma. A win-win option, as in many other situations, is education with love: leafing through your favorite books in an embrace with your child, reading, assigning roles with your dad, you can achieve a much greater effect than excessive severity and prodding.

Alexandra Morozova - preschool teacher,
Irina Aleksandrova - philologist, teacher of the highest category

There are many books out there. The circle of children's reading is also constantly growing and expanding. What should young parents do, how to choose books? All books can neither be re-read nor purchased, but there is a so-called "Golden Fund", which contains the best books that will help a child develop comprehensively. Having the experience of acquaintance with the best works, it is easier to navigate in modern books.

When choosing books to read to a preschooler, you should pay attention to the following points.

1 The most interesting thing for any person is information, about himself or the like. Therefore, the main principle for choosing books for preschoolers will be the topic "About children." Next - books about nature, animals, adventures, etc.

2. The book that an adult reads to a child should like him. If you don’t like it, it’s better not to take it, it will be felt in your reading and will not cause a proper response from the child. Therefore, we conclude: try to read in advance what you are going to read to your child. Think of the books that you read as a child, ask your parents, ask your friends what they read to their children.

3. Each child is an individual. This means that the interests of the child may differ from yours. There is no need to lightly stuff the child with what he rejects. For example, your child categorically does not want to listen to your favorite book by N. Nosov "The Adventures of Dunno and His Friends". After several attempts, postpone reading this book for the next time. Look for what you like, offer different options, and you will surely find what the child will like, or wait until he "grows" to the proposed book. Yes, it can be tedious, but you can't do without it.

4 What is interesting to one child, may not at all like another. Do not be equal to others, choose what your child perceives with pleasure.

5. Choose the right time to read. Don't read violently. If the child wants to play, run, give him such an opportunity, and evening and afternoon are suitable for reading. The main thing is that your reading does not become a punishment, violence, or an unpleasant activity.

6. Reading a book, it is important to have time to stop before the moment when the child gets bored. Better a little less, but regularly (every day for 10-15 minutes),

7 Rereading is very important for a preschooler. Do not refuse to re-read your favorite book for the 5-10th time. Even an adult, when re-reading a work of art, each time notices new semantic nuances, features. For a preschooler, rereading creates a comfortable situation. He knows what will happen, rejoices in advance with the plot twists and pays attention to individual words and phrases. We can say that a child who requires repeated re-reading, from a literary point of view, behaves like a "correct" reader. Only such behavior makes it possible to penetrate into the essence of the work.

8. There is no strict distinction in reading between younger preschoolers and older ones. If in the child's experience there were no books for younger ones, you can calmly begin acquaintance with them with older children. Those who have several children of different ages at home probably noticed how the elders listen with pleasure to the works for the younger ones, actively perceive them, discuss, pronounce them, thereby creating a very favorable situation of example and repetition, thereby helping the younger to better understand their content ,

If in early childhood children are not so much read as they are told by heart, then from about 3-4 years old such reading begins, to which everyone is accustomed. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, intelligent families had a wonderful tradition of family reading, when children listened to adult works in the reading of their elders. As early as A.S. Pushkin recalled the bewitching impression of such reading, although not everything was clear, the impact was very strong and unforgettable. Over time, children understood more deeply the works that have become their own since childhood,

We have the opportunity to make the process of acquaintance with literature easier for children by selecting books that correspond to age characteristics,

Literature from different eras, starting from the 19th century, is introduced into reading for children of 4-6 years of age. Of course, the 19th century is quite far from our time, so some concepts are already outdated and require clarification. For example, in the fairy tales of A. Pushkin there are such words as "kichka", "columnar noblewoman", "spinning", "boiled spelled", "quitrent". You can't do without a dictionary. But you cannot deprive your children of such works. You should not be afraid that after listening to these works at preschool age, the child will not want to read them at school. Experience shows that a familiar plot only makes it easier to understand and makes it possible to enjoy the artistic word. Then the familiar words "Pushkin is a genius poet" become more understandable to a child.

These are just the main names and works of the 19th century that can be read to preschoolers. But for all their attractiveness, they are not the main ones in the circle of children's reading. The basis is made up of the classics - the golden fund of children's literature - the literature of the XX century, which was created professionally, taking into account children's needs and opportunities.

What to read to preschoolers from XX century literature

Poems of the classics of children's literature S. Ya. Marshak, K. I. Chukovsky, A. L. Barto, S. V. Mikhalkov. Surprisingly light, kind poems by E. Blaginina, 3. Alexandrova, N. Sakonskaya, E. Serova, funny, humorous, even philosophical R. Sefa, V. Orlov, J. Akim, V. D. Berestov.

A special place in poetry for preschoolers is played by play poetry - poetry, where one plays with words. Poets play with words like children play with blocks.

Fiction poetry is poems by D. Kharms ("Liar", "Million"), Yu. D Vladimirov ("Ninochka's purchases"), A. I. Vvedensky ("Horse"), B Zakhoder ("Kit and a cat"), E Uspensky ("Plasticine Crow". "Memory"), G. Sapgir ("The Princess and the Cannibal"), A. Usacheva ("Soundman"), Tim Sobakin and others.

Vanya rode on a horse,

Leading a dog on a belt

And the old woman at this time

Soaps the cactus on the window.

Vanya rode on a horse.

He led the dog on a belt.

Well, the cactus at this time

Was washing an old woman at the window .. (E. Uspensky "Memory");

At present, the poems of 20th century poets and contemporaries can be found quite easily both in collections (for example, "The Best Poems for Reading in Kindergarten") and in the books of individual authors. For acquaintance, it is better to take a collection, and then, if you like the author, you can find: a book of his poems.

There are a huge number of prose works of the 20th century for preschoolers. Here are just a few of them:

M. Gorky: fairy tales "Vorobyishko", "About Ivanushka the Fool", "Samovar"

L. Panteleev: fairy tales "Fenka", "Two frogs", stories "Coward", "Honest word", "About Squirrel and Tamarochka", "How a little girl taught a piglet to speak", "Letter - You".

MM Zoshchenko: cycle of stories "Clever animals", "Cunning and clever", "Funny stories", "Lelya and Minka". The most popular are humorous stories "Galoshes and Ice Cream", "Great Travelers" (from the cycle "Lyolya and Minka")

KG Paustovsky: fairy tales: "Disheveled Sparrow", "Warm Bread", stories "Basket with Fir Cones", "Badger Nose", "Hare Paws", "Cat-Thief".

Many adults, probably, noticed how much preschoolers love to moralize, to argue how that boy did wrong, and this girl did wrong. This does not mean at all that they themselves are doing good and right, but the reasoning shows the importance of learning moral standards for the child. Therefore, works of moral and ethical themes in preschoolers always evoke a spiritual response. The writer who was able to present moral situations at a high artistic level is Valentina Aleksandrova Oseeva. Many parents, evaluating the pedagogical orientation of the works, made her works a reference book, constantly remember and quote when similar situations arise with their own children.

VA .. Oseeea: stories and fairy tales "The Kind Hostess", "Who is the stupidest?", "Bad", "Until the first rain", "Cookies", "The Magic Word", "Girl with a Doll", etc.

In the literature of the 20th century, the problems of moral education were often raised. At the same time, the writers chose various genre forms to show their attitude to what was happening - a story, a poem, a fairy tale. However, the general direction remained the same - to educate a kind, responsive, responsible person.
