1. Stories for the little ones (for children approximately 1.5-2 to 3-4 years old)

“Turnip”, “Ryaba Hen”, “Teremok”, “Kolobok” - all these fairy tales can be told to a child starting from one and a half to two years old, showing him pictures and looking at them with him. To them you can add Russian folk nursery rhymes, poems by Agnia Barto for kids ("The bull goes, sways...", "Our Tanya is crying bitterly..." and others), "Chicken" by Korney Chukovsky and "Chicken and Duckling" by Vladimir Suteev .

These are very short stories, either describing a single event (Ryaba Hen laid a golden egg, Tanya dropped a ball into the river, etc.), or built as a chain of similar episodes (first the grandfather pulls the turnip, then the grandfather and grandmother, and so on) Further). They are told in simple sentences, have a lot of repetition and rhyme, and require a relatively small vocabulary to understand. Many of them are transitional forms from nursery rhymes (such as “The Magpie-Crow was cooking porridge...”) to fairy tales.

As a rule, young children enjoy listening to these fairy tales and poems many times. When the child already knows this or that fairy tale well enough, invite him to tell it himself, using pictures and relying on your help. If your child likes to listen to fairy tales and poems from the first section, try gradually adding a few books from the second section (just be sure to have pictures).

It is best not to read these fairy tales to very young children (one and a half to two and even three years old), but to tell them by showing them pictures and looking at them together. It is always easier for a child to perceive text based on pictures, so when telling or reading the first fairy tales and poems to him, be sure to show him all the characters in the pictures and look at the pictures with him.

Note: if you can find a slide projector and filmstrips with these fairy tales, be sure to show them to your child - filmstrips are much better perceived than cartoons, they make the eyes less tired, and they help to understand the text (and do not replace it with action, as happens in cartoons) .

It is very important for a child that the story ends well. A good ending gives him a feeling of reliability in the world, while a bad (including realistic) ending contributes to the emergence of all kinds of fears. Therefore, it is better to tell “Teremok” in the version when, after the tower fell apart, the animals built a new one, even better than the previous one. “Kolobok” should initially be told with a good ending - for example, by figuring out how Kolobok at the last moment managed to outwit the Fox and run away from her.

If you talk and play a lot with your baby and started telling and reading fairy tales to him early, then at two and a half or three years old you can move on to the books of the next section. However, children with whom they talk little and to whom little stories are told and read can “grow up” to the books of the next section only by the age of five or six, or even later, especially if they watch a lot of TV and are not used to listening to stories.

2. The stories are a little more complex (for children from about 2.5-3 to 6-7 years old)

At the second “level of complexity” you can put numerous books by Vladimir Suteev ("Under the Mushroom", "The Magic Wand", "Apple" and others), many poetic fairy tales by Korney Chukovsky ("Telephone", "Fedorino's Mountain", "Moidodyr", "Aibolit"), poems by Samuil Marshak ("Mustache-striped", "Where did you have dinner, sparrow?", "He's so absent-minded" and others), as well as his translations of children's English rhymes (for example, "Gloves", "Visiting Queen", "Boat", "Humpty Dumpty"). This also includes folk tales about animals (“Tails”, “The Cat and the Fox”, “The Fox with a Rolling Pin”, “Zayushkina’s Hut” and others), fables by Sergei Mikhalkov (“Who wins?”, “The Helpful Hare”, “Friends in hike") and many other stories.

Note: some of K. Chukovsky’s fairy tales are quite scary for children, and it is best to read them no earlier than five or six years old - they are included in section 3.

These stories are already a little longer; as a rule, they consist of several separate episodes related in meaning. The relationships between their characters become a little more complex, the dialogues become more complex; To understand these stories, the baby needs a larger vocabulary.

A good ending and no events that are too scary (even if they end well) are still important. Therefore, it is better to postpone acquaintance with most fairy tales until at least six or seven years. Even Little Red Riding Hood often frightens young children. Children who begin to be told or read fairy tales early (at four or five years old), at best, then simply do not like them; at worst, they may develop all sorts of fears and nightmares. So if you read a lot to your child and he quickly mastered this section, choose from the books in the next section those where nothing terrible happens - for example, Nosov's stories, Nikolai Gribachev's stories about the hare Koska and his friends, or Astrid Lindgren's stories.

If you talk and play a lot with your baby and started telling him fairy tales and reading books early enough, then the stories in this section will be most interesting to him at three or four years old, and at the age of five he will be able to supplement them with books from the next section. The child will willingly listen and read his favorite stories later, with pleasure again and again living the situations in which his favorite characters find themselves.

And when starting to read independently (whether at five, six, seven or even eight years old), a child should return to the fairy tales and stories in this section - they are short and simple, they are accompanied by numerous bright pictures that help overcome the difficulties of independent reading. It is also better to start learning to retell from fairly simple texts, which is why some of the stories in this section are often included in textbooks and reading books for elementary schools.

If a child watches a lot of TV and videos and listens little to fairy tales and books, it may be difficult for him to perceive the stories of this section at the age of four or five (not counting, of course, the cartoons based on them). In this case, you can stay on the books in this section for up to six or seven years, gradually adding fairy tales and stories of the next level to them.

3. Funny stories and exciting adventures (for children from approximately 5-6 to 8-9 years old)

The books in this section are very different. There are stories for all tastes: scary fairy tales (for example, fairy tales of different nations retold for children), and funny and cheerful adventures (for example, the adventures of Dunno and the donkey Muffin, Pinocchio and the Moomins, the hare Koska and Pippi Longstocking) , and the ironic narratives of Gregory Oster and Alan Milne. There are short fables and long stories, poetry and prose.

What they have in common is that these are all stories for preschoolers who love to listen and read books; "TV" children usually do not understand them - they cannot concentrate on listening to long enough stories, and they lack the imagination to imagine the events described in them.

Some of these books are published in different versions - with a lot of bright pictures or in a more “adult” form, where there are few or no pictures. For preschoolers, even the oldest and smartest, it is better to buy books in bright and colorful designs; pictures help them imagine the characters in the book and the events that happen to them.

If a child was read very little before school, it may be difficult for him to perceive these stories even at eight or nine years old. In this case, simply reading to a child is often no longer enough for him to learn to understand literary texts. It is necessary to conduct special correctional and educational classes with such children - otherwise they will not be able to cope with the school curriculum, and their inner world will remain undeveloped and primitive.

Children who are read a lot may well fall in love with some of the books in the next section before school (they are somewhat more complex in language and plot, and are usually read by schoolchildren aged 7-11).

4. More complex stories, interesting for older preschoolers who love to listen and read books and have already read most of the stories from the last section (usually these books are read by schoolchildren aged 7-11, and often - and with pleasure - by adults)

“The Scarlet Flower” and “The Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors”, “Mowgli” and “Nils’s Wonderful Journey with the Wild Geese” - these and many other books, usually included in reading lists for schoolchildren, are quite accessible to many preschoolers if they like to listen and read books and have already read most of the stories from the last section. In the books of this group, the semantic picture of the world becomes more complex and dismembered. Their characters experience moral conflicts, learn to understand other people and build relationships with them, their relationships become more complex and can change as the action progresses. The text itself becomes more complex: the plot lengthens and becomes more branched, the description of the feelings and experiences of the characters begins to occupy a large place, descriptions, author’s digressions and reflections of the characters are added, the same situation can be shown from the positions of different characters.

It is not at all necessary to switch to books in this group before school; this should only be done if you have already re-read most of the books in the third section with your child. And one more thing: since these books are more complex both in language and in content, it is better for the child to read them with you - even if he already reads quite well on his own.

There are a huge variety of books. The range of children's reading is also constantly replenished and expanded. What should young parents do, how to choose books? It is impossible to re-read or purchase all the books, but there is a so-called “Golden Fund”, which contains the best books that will help a child develop comprehensively. Having experience with the best works, it is easier to navigate modern books.

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

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

2. A book that an adult reads to a child should be liked by 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 the proper response from the child. Therefore, let’s conclude: try to read in advance what you are going to read to your child. Remember the books that were read to you 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 child’s interests 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, put off reading this book until next time. Look for something you like, offer different options, and you will definitely find something that your child will like, or wait until he “grows up” 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 be to the liking of another. Do not be equal to others, choose what your child enjoys.

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

6. When reading a book, it is important to stop before the child gets bored. It’s better a little less, but regularly (every day for 10-15 minutes),

7 Rereading is very important for a preschooler. Don’t refuse to re-read your favorite book 5-10 times. Even an adult, when re-reading a work of fiction, notices new semantic nuances and features every time. For a preschooler, rereading creates a situation of comfort. He knows what will happen, enjoys the plot twists in advance and pays attention to individual words and phrases. We can say that a child who requires repeated rereading, 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 to younger preschoolers and older ones. If your child’s experience has not included books for younger children, you and older children can calmly begin to introduce them to them. Those who have several children of different ages at home have probably noticed how the older ones listen with pleasure to works for the younger ones, actively perceive them, discuss them, pronounce them, thereby creating a very favorable situation of example and repetition, thereby helping the younger ones better understand their content ,

If in early childhood children are not so much read to as told by heart, then from about 3-4 years old the kind of reading that everyone is accustomed to begins. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, intelligent families had a wonderful tradition of family reading, when children listened to adult works as their elders read them. Even A.S. Pushkin recalled the mesmerizing impression of such reading, although not everything was clear, but the impact was very strong and unforgettable. Over time, children developed a deeper understanding of the works that had become familiar to them since childhood,

We have the opportunity to make the process of getting to know literature easier for children by selecting books that are age-appropriate,

Literature from different eras, starting from the 19th century, is introduced into reading for children aged 4-6. Of course, the 19th century is quite far from our time, so some concepts are already outdated and require explanation. For example, in the fairy tales of A. S. Pushkin there are words such as “kichka”, “pillar noblewoman”, “spinning”, “boiled spelt”, “rent”. You can't do without a dictionary. But you shouldn’t deprive your children of such works. There is no need to be afraid that after listening to these works in preschool age, the child will not want to read them at school. Experience shows that a familiar plot only facilitates understanding and makes it possible to enjoy the literary word. Then the familiar words “Pushkin is a brilliant poet” become more understandable to the child

A, S. Pushkin: “The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish”, “The Tale of the Dead Princess and the Seven Knights”, “The Tale of Tsar Saltan...”, landscape lyrics(excerpts) “Winter Morning”, “Winter Road”, etc.

S. T. Aksakov, fairy tale “The Scarlet Flower”.

I. A. Krylov; fables “Quartet”, “Monkey and Glasses”, “Dragonfly and Ant”, etc.

Poems by A. A. Fet, F. I. Tyutchev, N, A. Nekrasov, I 3 Surikov, M. Yu. Lermontov, mainly landscape lyrics, especially those that you personally like,

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 children's reading circles. The basis is the classics - the golden fund of children's literature - literature of the 20th century, which was created professionally, taking into account children's needs and capabilities.

What to read for preschoolers from 20th century literature

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

A special place in poetry for preschoolers is occupied by play poetry - poetry where they play with words. Poets play with words like children play with blocks.

Game poetry is the poems of D. Kharms (“Liar”, “Million”), Yu. D. Vladimirov (“Ninochka’s Shopping”), A. I. Vvedensky (“Horse”), B Zakhoder (“The Whale and the Cat”), E Uspensky (“Plasticine Crow.” “Memory”), G. Sapgir (“The Princess and the Ogre”), A. Usachev (“Zvukarik”), Tim Sobakin and others.

Vanya rode on a horse,

Led the dog on a belt,

And the old lady at this time

I washed the cactus on the window.

Vanya rode on a horse.

He was carrying a dog on a belt.

Well, the cactus at this time

Washed the old woman on the window.. (E. Uspensky “Memory”);

Currently, poems by poets of the 20th century and their contemporaries can be found quite easily both in collections (for example, “The Best Poems for Reading in Kindergarten”) and in books by individual authors. To get acquainted, 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 “Sparrow”, “About Ivanushka the Fool”, “Samovar”

L. Panteleev: fairy tales “Fenka”, “Two Frogs”, stories “Coward”, “Honestly”, “About Squirrel and Tamara”, “How a girl taught a piglet to speak”, “The Letter - You”.

M. M. Zoshchenko: cycles of stories “Smart Animals”, “Cunning and Smart”, “Funny Stories”, “Lelya and Minka”. The most popular humorous stories are “Galoshes and Ice Cream”, “Great Travelers” (from the series “Lelya and Minka”)

K. G. Paustovsky: fairy tales: “The Disheveled Sparrow”, “Warm Bread”, stories “Basket with Fir Cones”, “Badger Nose”, “Hare Paws”, “The Thief Cat”.

Many adults have probably noticed how much preschoolers love to moralize, to talk about how that boy did something wrong and that girl did something wrong. This does not mean at all that they themselves act well and correctly, but the reasoning shows the importance of mastering moral standards for a child. Therefore, works with moral themes always evoke a sincere response in preschoolers. A writer who was able to present moral situations at a high artistic level is Valentina Aleksandrova Oseeva. Many parents, appreciating the pedagogical orientation of the works, have made her works a reference book; they constantly remember and quote them when similar situations arise with their own children.

V. A.. Oseeea: stories and fairy tales “The Good Housewife”, “Who is the stupidest of all?”, “Bad”, “Before the first rain”, “Cookies”, “The Magic Word”, “Girl with a Doll”, etc.

In the literature of the 20th century, problems of moral education were often raised. At the same time, 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 raise a kind, sympathetic, responsible person.

E, D. Permyak: stories “Pichugin Bridge”, “Currant”, “Someone else’s gate”, “How Masha became big”, etc.

S. A. Baruzdin: stories about children (“Svetlana”, “Humans”), stories about animals (“Brave Piglet”, “Kitten’s Mom”, “Elephant Memory”, “Cunning Handsome”, “Ravi and Shashi”), "Tales of a Tram."

Often the educational orientation manifested itself in a humorous situation. At the same time, the moral principle was not weakened at all, but, on the contrary, strengthened.

In V. Golyavkin: stories “Notebooks in the rain”, “Our conversations with Vovka”, “We are playing in Antarctica”, etc.

V, Yu. Dragunsky: stories: “He is alive and glowing”, “Childhood Friend”, “What I Love”, “Englishman Pavel”, “The Enchanted Letter” (collection “Deniska’s Stories”).

N, N. Nosov: stories “Dreamers”, “Telephone”, “Mishkina Porridge”, “Living Hat”, “Steps”, “3-Palate”, “Policeman”, “On the Hill”, fairy tale “Bobik visiting Barbos” .

Among educational literature, the most popular are, of course, natural history tales and stories. There are many wonderful authors to remember here. Let's remember some names.

V. Bianchi: fairy tales “The Fox and the Mouse”, “Mouse Peak”, “Owl”, “Whose Nose is Better”, “The First Hunt”, “Forest Houses”, “Teremok”.

E. Charushin: stories “Bear Cubs”, “Oleshki”, “Tomka’s Dreams”, a cycle of stories “Nikitka and his friends”, “About animals”, “About hunting”, “About myself”. By the way, E.I. Charushin is an illustrator for many natural history books, including his own,

N. Sladkov: fairy tales “Winter Summer”, “Winter Debts”, “Mysterious Beast”, “Tried and Tried”.

E. Shim: fairy tales “Who lost a hoof?” “Swan, crayfish and pike”, etc.

N. Pavlova, fairy tales “Winter Feast”, “Living Bead”, “Big Miracle”.

S. Sakharnov. fairy tales “Why the pike does not live in the sea”, “How the weasel learned to swim tail first”, etc.

E. Permyak: fairy tales “The Tricky Rug”, “Small Galoshes”, “Missing Threads”.

Natural history stories by G. Skrebitsky, G. Snegirev, V. Chaplina, O. Perovskaya help you feel like a real participant in the events described.

One of the main places in reading for preschoolers belongs to fairy tales. Both educational and artistic. Many of these works are familiar to you in one way or another, most often thanks to cartoons. Reading a book that has already been brought to life on screen helps you understand it better, find differences and try to understand what causes them.

A. Volkov: “The Wizard of the Emerald City.”

T. Alexandrova: “Kuzka in the new house”, “Kuzka in the forest”, “Kuzka at Baba Yaga’s”, “Chest with books” (eight fairy tales for the little ones).

To these books you can add encyclopedias and educational books according to age. Maybe Zero is not to blame?

In order not to ask the question “How to teach a child to read?”, ask yourself another question - “What books should I offer my child?” If you show what literature is capable of, how the artistic word, spurred on by its own imagination, paints familiar surroundings in outlandish colors, then you won’t have to force or accustom anyone. Children themselves will remind you that it’s time to update your library, and bookstores will tempt them much more than windows with toys or electronic gadgets.

Children's books: read on your own or listen to your parents

While the baby cannot read, everything is clear: he listens to his favorite fairy tales, children's poems and stories performed by his mother, father and other relatives who have been taught to read and write. But what to do when the science has been mastered and the baby 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, you’ve read enough - now, dear, do it yourself.” And they make a serious mistake.

Reading together is an act of delightful spiritual intimacy. Sitting comfortably side by side, maintaining physical contact, you enjoy the general immersion in the space created by the writer: soaring into the heavenly heights, finding yourself in the underwater kingdom, traveling through summer into winter and through the mountains to the oceans.

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

• Favorable conditions for communication are created.
• A field of shared 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 becomes saturated with the personal (with your voice you translate the author's impersonal appeals to your child, making him involved in what is happening).
• Phonemic hearing develops.
• Stimulates interest in reading as a pastime.

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

• Encourage your child to sometimes change the roles of “reader” and “listener.”
• Read children's books by role-playing and acting out scenes.
• Ask your young bookworm to read to you while you do your homework.

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 have the expected effect and forever be imprinted in the mind of a preschooler with unbreakable moral principles, it is important to choose works in which the moral is presented in a plot that is fascinating and understandable to the child. What is interesting for six-year-olds to read about? Eureka knows.

Books about nature and animals

By reading about nature, birds and animals, the child learns to show kindness and care, to treat the world around him with care and attention. The beauty of forests and seas, fields and rivers, glorified by the masters of artistic expression, and the experiences of representatives of the animal world described by them instill morality and mercy in a preschooler.
