Literature for the youngest readers. Reading with a child

Climax

I thought for a very long time and chose books for the little ones, we are now 7.5 months old and I left all possible development / reading methods for later. Although, after reading about their benefits, she acquired two expensive boxes of Doman-Manichenko cards, a box of “7 Dwarfs” books and came to the conclusion that the child was not interested, pictures of this kind did not attract her, she had to be seated and forced to show the cards for classes. So what's the use of this?

And then, with pleasure, I began to search for books, reading reviews about publishers, the benefits of certain books, and now I brag to you about my acquisitions and gifts for my baby by March 8!

Here I share my findings. And what books do you read to your babies from 6 months and up to 3 years old? I would very much like to see photos, pictures and hear comments, reviews about my findings) I will be very grateful!

1. Books without words, with pictures for viewing. There are a great many such books, but after reading reviews, the best are considered a set of seasons: Summer book, Autumn, Winter, Spring and night. For starters, I bought the Summer Book, just in time for the summer we will be 11 months old, so we will begin to study and consider what the characters in the book do in the summer, comparing everything that happens with real events. Large format and canyon pages are a huge advantage.


2. On the same principle, I wanted to buy another publishing house with pictures about the village, but it was not available and I bought an equally bright book “in the circus”.


3. Then I focused on the encyclopedia for kids, this is a Soviet-made book, but it is reprinted every year, I bought the 2013 edition. A very useful, simple, interesting and accessible book for kids. Of the minuses, paper pages, you can’t leave a book unattended in the hands of an 8-month-old baby.


4. A collection of the most beloved children's works. There are a lot of them, but I found exactly the one in which there are pictures from my childhood!

5. Incredible illustrations, cardboard books published by Rosmen. The most juicy, bright, superbly executed illustrations. It was quite difficult to find them, the order waited 20 days, but these books are worth it!


6. Separately, I want to say about riddle books. Where kids can open additional pictures. My daughter is absolutely delighted with them!


7. These 4 little books I really liked the illustrations. They are made of a very dense pattern, you can safely give to kids and leave unattended.

8. Books with inserts delight even me.


9. And finally, a few books that I liked. I can’t say anything about them, since I didn’t study the reviews from the books below, and I chose a landmark to study to my taste.

Before the year, we had a variety of books: ordinary cardboard and paper, bathing books, with windows, soft inserts, as well as.

In this article I want to talk about our usual books, but the most important ones. And not only about ours, because some publications are no longer on sale, so I picked up an alternative that I would buy myself.

Books for the little ones. Which ones to choose

In my opinion, the first books of the baby should be different: different formats, sizes, made of various materials.

But one thing should unite them - compliance with age. Colorful illustrations without unnecessary details and a minimum of text: nursery rhymes, simple rhymes, short sentences. Or even just pictures, because not every baby at 6 - 10 months old is able to listen to even such a simple fairy tale as "Gingerbread Man". Therefore, the first fairy tales appeared in our country in a year.


Books up to 6 months

Up to 6 months Antoshka, like many children at this age, was ready to “read” anything with me. The main thing is that it should be poetry. We read Aibolita (Ozon, My-shop), Muhu-Tsokotukha (Ozon, Labyrinth, My-shop) and other works intended for older children.

At this age, the child will also listen to "Eugene Onegin". The kid does not yet understand the meaning, but it is useful for him to listen to the melody of the language, to catch the rhythm of poetic forms, intonation.

After 5 months Antoshka really became interested in books - the time has come for books by age.

Classics for kids

What a blessing that the books we grew up on still do not lose their relevance, and publishers reprint them again and again.

Books with illustrations by Yu.A. Vasnetsov, in my opinion, should be in every home library.

There is a wonderful collection of songs, nursery rhymes, jokes and fairy tales "Ladushki". But I prefer separate books, before the year we had 5 of them. They have a minimum of text, but not cardboard, so they are suitable for children who are not prone to vandalism:

Agniya Barto. At this age, Barto's most important poems are from the "Toys" cycle. But Antoshka also loved poetry for older children. Up to 1.5 years, cardboard books are preferable, and then you can already buy collections. But we immediately bought the collection, it is no longer on sale, there are similar ones. Antoshka does not tear books, so the collection is safe and sound.

Big book with cutting. Songs, nursery rhymes and lullabies arranged by K. Chukovsky, O. Kapitza, I. Karnaukhova

(Ozone, My-shop)

This collection of poems, nursery rhymes and fairy tales is designed for children from birth to three years. Bought on positive reviews, but Antoshka and I were not impressed at all. Apparently, the taste and color ...

Series “Reading to children. Minions»(Labyrinth, Ozone)

What a wonderful series of books! Too bad I didn't know about it before. Not all books I like and not all are suitable for children up to a year, and up to two too. For example, a book with the first fairy tales is not a very good option: one picture for the whole fairy tale is not interesting for kids. But there are some books that are worth buying. The format is small, convenient to take anywhere with you.

Cardboard books

Unfortunately, many of the books we had were no longer available for sale. Therefore, I will write about those that are today and about several alternative options.

Series "My very first book"(Ozone, My-shop)

The books in this series are great for getting to know the world around you. The poems are quite primitive, but the pictures are just for the little ones.

baby day routine(Labyrinth, Ozone, My-shop) and (Labyrinth, Ozone, My-shop). These are two sets, each of which contains 4 cute books.

Series "Topotushki"(Labyrinth, Ozone, My-shop)

Budget book-cardboard, but high quality. Antoshka appreciated them. There are many books in the series, but I took six that I liked the most.

The cat went to the market(Labyrinth, Ozone, My-shop)

A book from the series "Funny Cardboards" with 4 nursery rhymes about animals and their children. Antoshka liked it. But we had another book from this series - "The Cow" - so-so.

One is grey, the other is white(Labyrinth, Ozone, My-shop)

Another book with nursery rhymes for kids. We still love reading it.

Series "The world of animals for kids"(Labyrinth, Ozone, My-shop)

This is an analogue of our Animal Guys series. The publisher has changed the cover, but the content remains the same. Realistic drawings, good poems about animals. The perfect book for a child's first introduction to animals.

Series "22 Pictures"(Labyrinth, Ozone, My-shop)

The book "My Day" (Labyrinth, Ozone, My-shop) is one of our favorites. As for the rest of the books in the series, the small format and thick cardboard make them great alternative cards. The cards have a big drawback - they are easy to wrinkle, tear and chew. These books do not have this deficiency. But, frankly, I prefer cards - you can come up with a lot of games with them. Not all books in this series are suitable for children under one year old. But some are the best.

Series "About everything in the world"(Labyrinth, Ozone, My-shop)

Books will introduce the child to transport, animals, toys. Bright, colorful illustrations, but only 8 pages, however, and the price is small. Also an alternative to cards, but the format is already larger than in the previous series. Antoshka likes these books.

Books on the development of speech for the little ones

In fact, all books develop the speech of the child. However, the series of books We start talking. First phrases"(Labyrinth, Ozone, My-shop) from the Karapuz publishing house, I decided to highlight, because. on their example, you can clearly see how exactly you need to read books to your baby. Antoshka loves these books very much and for good reason, because here:

  • clear, simple and at the same time pleasant images, without unnecessary details,
  • easy-to-understand texts
  • perfect size - comfortable to hold with small hands, but not bulky,
  • affordable price

The illustrations may seem primitive, but these simple drawings are exactly what kids need.

But there is a drawback - the books are not cardboard, although the sheets are quite dense.

There is a 1+ sign on the cover, but the following books are quite accessible to a child from 10 months old, or even earlier.

For harmonious development The child needs constant communication with books. Children who “read” with their mothers get to know the world around them from the very beginning. young age. Reading like this has a positive effect on early development mental abilities and expanding horizons. Babies 1-2 years of age can be the most grateful listeners, or they can categorically refuse to look into a book, so it is important to choose the right literature.

Reading books to the baby should start from the very early age

What books can be read to a child from 0 to 6 months?

Children can be introduced to books from birth. It is better to start reading with small rhymes and nursery rhymes: babies perfectly perceive poetic and musical rhythm. Not yet understanding the meaning of words, babies react to the tact of speech and mother's intonation. When the voice sounds affectionate and playful, the child smiles, and if the mother’s tone is serious, then the baby becomes attentive and focused (see also:). It contributes emotional formation personality.

For development figurative thinking show two or three month old baby bright drawings in books, talking about each picture. Do not rush, small children need only one or two pictures at a time.

How to read books to a baby from 6 months to 1 year?

Dear reader!

This article talks about typical ways to solve your questions, but each case is unique! If you want to know how to solve your particular problem - ask your question. It's fast and free!

A six-month-old baby is often actively interested in books, because at this age, babies are interested in everything that surrounds them. Of course, the child will not read and look at books, but he will try to gnaw, shake or tear. Books for six-month-old babies should be made of fabric, rubber or dense polyethylene.

Introduce your 1 year old to soft toy books to develop tactile memory and fine motor skills. Soft books can be crushed and felt, stroked, bathed in the bathroom, examining bright pictures. Also show your baby "talking" books. A child will definitely be interested in a cow mooing from a turn, a meowing cat or a croaking frog. It is better if mom shows how to “read” correctly: carefully turn pages, press buttons, listen carefully and repeat sounds. You can name the animals shown in the pictures.


Soft book toy will help develop not only the imagination of the baby, but also fine motor skills but you can do it by hand

Up to a year, children concentrate on books for several moments, which means that it is better to have 5-6 bright educational books in stock and keep them within reach. When the child's interest fades, you can change the books, taking out previously hidden ones. The kid will meet them with great joy.

Basic rules for reading to a child under 1 year old

  • You need to read in a calm environment, turning off the TV and putting aside your phone and laptop. It is better to put aside toys that can distract the child.
  • Turn one reading session into a pleasant ritual. Read books to your baby up to 1 year old every day at the same time, for example, before going to bed after bathing.
  • You need to read poetry with expression, clearly pronouncing each sound. It is useful to read, changing intonation: higher, lower, louder, in different voices.
  • Show your child all the pictures in the book. Move the child's finger over the image, naming the elements of the picture: "This is the sun, clouds, grass, bunny."
  • If possible, demonstrate the actions described in the book: swing for the bull on the board, stomp for the bear, cry for Tanya.
  • Put the book aside as soon as you notice that the child is tired of it. Pick up another book next time.


It is better to read a book at the same time, for example, before going to bed.

Books can be with or without text. Small rhythmic quatrains are best perceived by children. They are easily remembered by mothers after 1-2 readings. Learned nursery rhymes can be told to the baby regularly on the street, in the park, on the playground. The most liked verses the child will demand to repeat again and again.

Paper books can be offered to a child at the age of about a year. For safety reasons, it is not recommended to leave children alone with printed materials; books can be not only torn, but also chewed.

Requirements for educational books for children under the age of 2

Choose books with colorful illustrations, mostly on a white background. On each sheet there is no more than one drawing that is well known to the child: smiling faces, animals, trees.

It is better if the animals are depicted as naturally as possible - as they are found in wildlife - without hats, glasses and beads. There is a huge amount of children's literature in the stores these days. When choosing a book, you should pay attention to whether the hygienic requirements for the publication are met: the material from which the book is made is important. The product itself should be strong, dense, and best of all washable.



Colorful educational books, when read by mom, will help the baby learn new words and objects

The most interesting series of books for the youngest "readers" are presented in the list:

  1. Series "My first book": "This is me"; "Animals"; "Car"; "The words"; "Farm". Colorful books with funny pictures are specially designed for children from 6 months to 1 year old.
  2. Series "Lessons for kids": "Different voices"; "In the forest", "Let's play." Cardboard books with a small description of the items depicted.
  3. Series "Topotushki": R.Sef. "My bear", "Jests". Made of thick cardboard with rounded edges, they are perfect as the first books for the baby.
  4. Series "For the little ones". Poems of favorite authors A. Barto, B. Zakhoder, S. Mikhalkov and others.
  5. Russians folk tales for children: "Turnip", "Teremok", "Ryaba Hen". Suitable for children from 0 to 2 years old. Even the most modern mothers grew up on these fairy tales.
  6. V. Stepanov: "Miracles", "It's good next to mom", "Mishka's birthday", "Bunny's coat" are small poems with a good rhythm.


Agnia Barto's poems have been loved by everyone since childhood, and if the book is supplemented with musical accompaniment, then the baby will be doubly pleased

Caring parents will definitely pay attention to children's swimming books. Floating editions will attract the baby to bathing, even if he hates water. The material is moisture resistant, durable, details with rounded corners.

Finger activities and development

If you want to ensure the quality of early development of the child, pay attention to the series of books "Finger Lessons". The publications were developed by the famous methodologist and psychologist Elena Danilova. The methodology on which books are built for the smallest up to 1 year old takes into account the psychophysiological characteristics of the baby. Contrasting pictures and well-composed tasks will allow children to develop easily, harmoniously and enthusiastically.


Finger games form fine motor skills, train children's memory, logic, attentiveness, imagination. Under the pictures in the publications there are tips for parents. Tips suggest that parents show the baby an object or animal, invite the baby to demonstrate how the animal jumps or what sounds the animal makes.

In the “Finger Lessons” about parts of the human body, parents are offered to visually show the child the eyes, nose, mouth, ears, etc. As a model, parents can use themselves, the baby, the doll.


The described form of education is liked by children, it is understandable to the smallest. An effective method of finger development leads to the formation of speech, improves the speed of reaction, and trains thinking in space.

Tales and poems

It is necessary to attract to the beautiful, to accustom children to literature from birth and even before birth. Psychologists have proven that beautiful, pleasant and good words able to soothe not only a baby, but also an adult. Good poems and fairy tales will teach moral standards in society, will favorably affect the character and upbringing of a small person.

In fairy tales and poems, the baby can find answers to many of his questions. Until the baby is one year old, literature will be useful for getting to know our world. Listening to another fairy tale before going to bed, the baby develops, remembers words and expressions, perceives different intonation and loudness, imagines characters, feels rhyme.


When parents read a quatrain to a child several times a day, they soon notice that the child himself is trying to repeat the end of the line or the beginning of the next. Fairy tales and poems develop speech. Artistic children's books can be read to the baby and shown. Children love the colorful illustrations on the cover and inside the edition.

What fairy tales and poems develop the baby more effectively?

Both classical and modern works contribute to the favorable development of the peanut. The main thing is that the text was written correctly, taking into account the age characteristics of the child, and performed didactic, aesthetic, cognitive, and entertaining functions.

Only one fairy tale can be published in one edition, and maybe a dozen. Collections of poems and fairy tales are grouped on a specific topic and released on general topics. It is important to bring a variety of literature into the life of the child, which in the kit will help diversified development.

How to choose the right books for the little ones up to 1 year old

Books for the little ones can be made by yourself from pieces of fabric or cardboard. In this case, it is necessary to use bright shreds of different textures. But since not all parents with the birth of a baby have the time and energy to sew and stick homemade books, we will give tips on choosing store publications.

  1. Buy books with high quality pictures;
  2. Images should be contrasting, simple, without small details;
  3. Choose durable editions;
  4. For children under 3 months old, books should be soft and fabric, then you can buy cardboard products;
  5. All goods must be safe: environmentally friendly and without sharp corners;
  6. If the publication is strange, smells unpleasant, refuse to buy;
  7. The older the baby, the more letters and words should be in the publications. For children under 3 months, you can bathe options without text;
  8. Closer to the year, start buying the first fiction, simple fairy tales and collections of good poems;
  9. If the book is intended not only for parents to read, but for the direct use of the child, pay attention to the weight. The child will not hold massive editions in his hands;
  10. At the age of 9-11 months, the baby shows interest in puzzles, puzzles, secret windows and other intellectual elements.


Remember that even if you have purchased a book that the baby does not like yet, seems difficult to him, this is not scary. The child will grow up, and the level of development will allow him to love this book.

Do not think that while the little one cannot talk, he does not need children's books. Simple listening develops future communication skills, literacy, vocabulary. When the child grows up, he will thank you for what you gave him in childhood.

A A

A baby barely discharged from the hospital, of course, does not need books. However, as soon as he begins to listen to sounds and respond to them, books really come to the aid of a mother who simply cannot remember all the lullabies, rhymes, nursery rhymes and fairy tales.

At what age can you start to rustle the pages?

  • At 2-3 months - only acquaintance with the book. The baby is already looking around with interest and listening to the gentle mother's voice. Naturally, a child will not be able to understand fairy tales at this age, and will not listen to his mother with genuine interest. Therefore, the book should be contrasting, soft and with the most simple black-and-white pictures, and mum will come up with rhymes-jokes as comments to the picture herself.
  • At 4-5 months - a new "book" stage. Now you can buy soft (and safe!) books "in the bath", as well as the first cardboard books with large images and short (1 word per 1 picture) text. Be sure to accompany the viewing of pictures with nursery rhymes or nursery rhymes "on the topic."
  • At 9-10 months, the child already listens to his mother with pleasure. It's time to buy Turnip, Ryaba Hen and other children's bestsellers. Thick books - "folios" are not recommended. Buy small books that are easy for your baby to hold and flip through.
  • By 11-12 months, the baby can no longer do without books, and at the first opportunity, she shoves another literary masterpiece into the hands of her mother about “our Tanya”, animals or Teremok. Do not dismiss the child - read until he gets bored. By instilling interest in books, you make a serious contribution to its development.
