Children aged 0 ~ 1 year are more suitable for picture books with nursery rhymes, cognitive enlightenment, simple plot and clear graphic layout.

1, nursery rhymes.

This kind of reading material has short sentence structure, easy to understand, strong sense of rhythm, and can be recited frequently, which can give the baby beautiful enjoyment and emotional edification. When Tong Tong was a child, he often listened to digital nursery rhymes and three-character nursery rhymes (all four volumes written by Cheng Zhun). Two sets of nursery rhymes books recommended by teacher Wang Gan in the Reading Plan for 0 ~ 8 years old —— Super-size Children's Literacy Reader and Centennial Nursery Rhymes are also very good.

2. Enlightened cognitive reading materials.

Babies who are almost one year old are more interested in knowing the world around them, and cognitive enlightenment books are just what they need. If you can incorporate elements that can be touched or heard into the pictures on the page, such as the hair of small animals, the texture of tires, the cry of frogs, etc. Children will like it better and help to promote the development of children's various senses. When Tong Tong was very young, her neighbors gave her a set of such books, which were very realistic and Tong Tong liked them very much.

Regarding this kind of picture books, Mr. Matsujuzhi, a Japanese picture book expert, has a noteworthy view. That is, when buying such books for children, we must pay attention to whether the colors are normal and whether the images are realistic. Don't buy rough books to avoid misleading children's initial understanding of the world. In addition, such books are very suitable for self-making. Mr. Matsuju gave an example in his works. A father was not satisfied with the enlightenment books he bought about cars. He cut out many car advertisements from the latest car advertisements in major newspapers and made a self-made book about cars for children. The children loved it and it was unforgettable.

3. Picture books with simple plots.

This kind of picture book not only has a certain story, but also has vivid illustrations and easy-to-understand words, which are very attractive to children. For example, Run in Small Steps, Baby Bear Picture Book, Cat Dangdang, Goose in Rain Boots, Dick Bruner, Miffy Picture Book, Like Dad, Like Mom and so on. Although there are no ups and downs in this kind of picture books, their contents are closely related to the world perceived by children, close to their life experiences, and their sentences are short and easy to understand, which is very popular among children.

Second, 1 ~ 2 years old baby

1 ~ 2-year-old children are in a period of spatial sensitivity, and fine movements are gradually developing. They like to dig up the "small organs" in the book and imitate the little protagonist in the book, so they can be provided with some reading materials that are convenient for them to rummage through.

1, three-dimensional toy book.

Toy books with educational significance and three-dimensional sense are very popular with children of this age. The whole reading process will fill them with the surprise of discovery and the joy of doing it yourself. The whole reading process will fill them with the surprise of discovery and the joy of doing it yourself. When Tong Tong was a child, he especially liked the series Scratching, Digging Cognitive Picture Books and Hungry Caterpillar.

2. Children's songs with finger exercises.

Although children may not be able to rap freely at this time, the finger exercises equipped in such children's songs not only cater to their hobby of moving little fingers, but also develop fine hand movements, which is conducive to parent-child interaction. When parents hold their baby in their arms, reading nursery rhymes and doing finger movements with the baby, that kind of happy family experience will be deeply imprinted on their young hearts.

Unfortunately, this kind of reading was not popular when Tong Tong was a child. I didn't prepare it for her, but there are occasional related contents in various illustrated magazines that she often takes with her. Recently, I paid attention to related books, and found that these books have appeared one after another in the past two years, among which "Recognition Finger Bullet" (with CD) and "Finger Bullet" (all three volumes) have higher sales. As far as illustrations are concerned, Finger Bullet is more clear and easy to imitate.

3. Get used to developing theme books.

Children's books with the theme of living habits can play a certain educational role. Especially for those children who don't like to wash their hair and take a bath, this kind of picture book can sometimes even change their habits. For example, the "Baby Game Picture Book" series involves the development of many good living habits, which is very beneficial to the interaction between parents and children. I often use this set of picture books to guide Tong Tong's behavior. "Baby Bear Picture Book" series and "Little Cat Dangdang" series are also very helpful to guide children's behavior habits.

4. Other reading materials suitable for children's interests.

Children in this period have their own hobbies, and we can provide them with books in this field. At this age, Tong Tong likes animals very much, so I have provided her with many books about animals, such as the series of Grandpa Nagata's Animal Observation Diary and the series of Bedside Animal Stories. These books are easy to understand and she likes them very much.

Three, two to three-year-old baby

2 ~ 3-year-old children, began to enter a very wonderful period, temper, rebellious, stubborn, naughty, and all kinds of behaviors that make parents feel trouble have also appeared. The change is unexpected, and it is often called "terrible two years old".

Psychological self-help books can help parents better guide children of this age. Such as "Tom Rabbit" series; "Frog Frog's Growth Story" series; "Children's Picture Books with Growing Mind" series; The Little Crocodile Wolf series; Emily series; "Lulu's Growth Story" series, "Cats snapped up" series, etc. However, Emily series; "Lulu's Growth Story" series is more suitable for girls.

Fear often afflicts children of this age. They are afraid that their parents will leave, they will be left somewhere, and they will sleep separately from their parents ... Parents can consciously choose some books that will help their children overcome their fears, such as I am so worried, Franklin in the dark, There is a monster in my room, Lulu has nightmares, and Afraid of the dark.

At the same time, children in this period gradually entered the language sensitive period, their vocabulary increased and their understanding developed, and they could gradually accept picture books with relatively complicated plots. Such as My Lucky Day; Grandpa must have a way; Good night, bear; The little frog takes a nap; Animals should never wear clothes; Bedroom, etc

In addition, children in this period have to face the turning point of entering the park in their lives, and separation anxiety is often a problem they must face. The theme picture book written around the preparation for entering the park will help them alleviate their anxiety. Little Ali's big school, I don't want to go to kindergarten, Tom goes to kindergarten and so on. Some picture books, such as "Magic Kiss" and "A Bag of Kisses", also cleverly present ways to overcome the anxiety of entering the park, which can save a lot of effort for parents' ideological enlightenment.

Finally, because children in this period have their own opinions and preferences, the selectivity of children's books is enhanced. From then on, parents can let their children participate in buying books.

Four, three or four-year-old babies

Children aged 3-4 are interested in topics related to birth and gender, such as "Where am I from" and "Boys and girls". Parents can use picture books for life education. Such as "Landing"; The navel is round; Breast milk is the best; Great shit; Serena is waiting to rush forward.

Children in this period have basically entered kindergarten, and began to actively seek companions, and they like to participate in some activities with their companions. Children began to show a strong attachment to their peers and eager to establish friendship with them. However, in the process of communicating with peers, due to the lack of communication skills, there are often some conflicts that confuse children. Therefore, the guidance of communication skills can be a key point in the selection of picture books in this period. For example, the series "Barley and Xiaoke"; Francis and his good friends; Franklin the bully; Leleby found a good friend; "Rabbit jumps frog jumps" series, etc.

Character cultivation education can also start from this period. As the saying goes, "look at the old at the age of three." The character formed in a child's early years will have an important influence on his adolescent personality characteristics. Therefore, it is very important to educate children's personality development as soon as possible. Children of this age have improved their understanding and expanded their life experience, which is a good opportunity for children's books to carry out character education. Recommend The Story of Two Sheep and Mr. Lu's Yard in Lu Lu; "Little Turtle Franklin" series; "Cultivation of Rabbit Wave Character" series; Beaver series and so on.

Five, four to five-year-old babies

Children aged 4-5 are still curious about the world, but the questions they ask have changed from "what" to "why", and their understanding of the objective world has begun to point to the inner truth of things, the essential characteristics of phenomena and the relations and laws between things.

During this period, we can consider exposing them to some relatively complicated popular science books, but it is best to present them in the form of fairy tales, so as to balance the development of children's curiosity and imagination. Recommend "Little Juvenile Science Museum" series; "Curious Kittens" series; Michelle and Lenny Jr. Four moons; "Baby, Mom loves you" series, etc.

At this age, children's emotional impulses caused by some external stimuli gradually decrease, and emotional control gradually changes from passive to active. Under the constraints of adult education and kindergarten collective life norms, we can learn to control emotional impulses. "My Feeling" series; Picture books such as "Today I am a cute little fool" and "Doodle's Secret Date" can guide children to vent their emotions reasonably and live in peace with their own emotions.

In addition, children in this period have entered a sensitive period of self-identity. They like to refer to themselves with their favorite story protagonists and imitate each other's behavior. For example, a little boy who likes Thomas and his friends will proudly say, "My name is not Tian Tian, my name is Thomas!" A little boy who likes Car Story will say, "My name is Lightning McQueen!" " Therefore, reading in this period is suitable for providing a positive story image. Elephant, kangaroo, lamb, little guy, I love being a hippo, and little dinosaur can help children find self-esteem and self-confidence while establishing role identity.

Babies aged 6, 5-6

5-6-year-old children's appetite for reading materials can be said to be more and more "greedy", and reading materials with various contents and themes can easily arouse their interest as long as they are suitable for their understanding and acceptance. Therefore, the types of children's books provided by parents can also be as rich as possible, such as popular science, psychological growth, health, fairy tales and so on. , can enter their little bookshelf.

1, reading long classic stories. For example, Red Fox and Duckling, Professor Peng Pengtou's panacea, Su He's White Horse, Magic Mouse Series and Baba Dad Series.

2. Fairy tales. For example, Andersen's fairy tales, Grimm's fairy tales and Talmud's fairy tales are all suitable for children in this period. It is worth noting that when choosing such reading materials for children, we must pay attention to the quality of translation and adaptation. If it is a foreign classic, it is recommended to buy a version published by an authoritative publishing house and translated by an authoritative translator.

3. Vocational enlightenment education reading materials. Nowadays, children's professional experience has been paid more and more attention by the early education community. Professional experience venues are expensive, and many parents are discouraged. Vocational enlightenment education books can provide children with an affordable window to understand different professional roles and be familiar with specific professional scenes, and are also suitable for children of this age. For example, the series "Children's Professional Experience" (20 books) is very good.

4. Philosophical enlightenment books. For example, a fallen leaf, fallen leaves in the wind, where did the wind go, stone soup, rickety bridge, donkey brother turned into stone, lost corner, 6.5438+0 million cats are all very good.

5, number concept training books. At this stage, we can start to cultivate children's concept of numbers. "Ladder Math" and "Life Math Game" series can provide children with advanced training in digital concepts. Of course, the relatively concrete and vivid mathematical concept education books are mathematical picture books, such as The Dreamer's Cloak, The Greedy Triangle and The Three Sisters of the Bread Princess, which are all very good.

6. A "bridge book" between a picture book and plain text. From the form of reading, children in this period can have more contact with such books, so that children can gradually adapt to books with increased words and longer length, laying the foundation for reading in primary school. For children with strong understanding ability, you can also try to read books with only a few black and white illustrations, such as Winnie the Witch series; "Morning Reading of Masterpieces" series; Pippi Longstocking, the naughty Emil, the shooting lion, etc.

7. Read books on traditional culture and education. Some children have entered a period of cultural sensitivity, and they are becoming more and more interested in traditional folk festivals. We can provide them with some related reading books, such as China Story Picture Book series, Kitchen God, White Horse of Su He, Spring Festival is Red, China, National Festival and Custom Story Picture Library series, Pangu Tiankai and so on.
