What books should children aged 5-6 read

When did people become social animals?

The answer is: 5 ~ 6 years old.

This is a very special era. Since then, children are no longer only interested in their own lives, but gradually care about others and the broad world. For mom and dad, this is a challenging moment, because his questions are getting more and more tricky, and you can't guess what he is thinking more and more. When you recall his clever appearance when he was two or three years old, you may even think that someone stole your child.

In fact, it is at this time that the child needs your guidance most, because he is very eager to be a "social person" and integrate into a group, but he doesn't know how to do it, let alone the rules of those groups, so he often makes mistakes, some of which are even serious in the eyes of adults, such as lying and fighting, but in fact these are detours he took in the process of trying to grow up.

No one has never taken a detour, but parents always want their children to take fewer detours. So, how can we better solve the "growing pains" of 5-6-year-old children and help them get ready before they formally enter school? In fact, many ingenious methods are hidden in books.

Children's books for 5 ~ 6 years old

First, how to join a new group?

It is a challenge for a child to enter a higher school, not because the difficulty of the course has increased, nor because the place he wants to go is different, but because he wants to contact a completely different group. Kindergarten has also changed from a small class to a middle class and a large class, but after all, the classmates and teachers in the class still know each other. In primary school, it is very likely that all classes are strangers, which is the last thing a child can adapt to. And if you consciously rehearse the process of entering and integrating into a new group through story books during the age of 5-6, children will feel much more relaxed when they encounter similar things in reality.

Second, how to find a good friend?

The ability to make friends is the key to a happy life in a group. 5-6 years old is also the age when friendship of the same age is particularly needed. Children in this period care more about what other friends think of him than in the past, but they are not born knowing how to make other children like themselves. Through the characters in story books, they can find many tricks to deal with children of the same age, such as how to greet each other in a friendly way, how to chat together and how to share toys; They can also understand that children who have the same hobbies as themselves are more likely to become good friends.

Third, how to treat the lack of freedom?

Every child will think I am very old at some point, such as a freshman in a small class, someone else's brother and sister coming to play and learning a new knowledge by themselves. But when they start to think like this, parents and teachers will soon appear in front of them, letting them know that they are still young and there are still many things they can't do. Therefore, children aged 5-6 often feel insecure, and because of this feeling, they begin to "mess around" and "play tricks" that their parents think. Suppressing their desires will only make them worse problem children. If you usually let them know through the stories in the book, where is the limit of a person's freedom? How can we achieve our goals through correct practices? They won't fool around with adults anymore.

Fourth, how to realize daydreaming?

At the age of 5 ~ 6, children's imagination is unprecedentedly developed, daydreaming one after another, and sometimes even confusing their imagined world with reality, so they are mistaken for "bragging" and "lying" children by some adults. But children's imagination is very precious in this period. Edison became the greatest inventor in America because he had a good mother who protected and treated his childhood "fantasy" of incubating hens. Instead of killing children's imagination with words like "Don't talk nonsense", it is better to give children a way to realize "daydreaming" by reading books and making up stories.

5. What will you do when you grow up?

We often say that a person works hard for tomorrow because he has ideals and pursuits, but when should he inspire children to set up ideals? The answer is five to six years old. When a person is 3 years old, he wants to know where he is from, and when he is 5 years old, he will want to know more. What will happen when you grow up? But this problem must be thought by himself. Parents cannot and should not impose their ideas on him. If he doesn't like music, but you want him to learn piano, the result will be that he is tired of life before he finds his goal in life. The hobbies naturally revealed by children aged 5-6 years old should be the things that parents cherish most, because this hobby is often both initial and lifelong. Although not everyone can decide what they want to do when they grow up at this time, it is certainly much better to take this problem seriously at this time and think about it from time to time in the future study process than to wait until you fill out the college entrance examination volunteers.

Six, prepare four kinds of books

In addition to the above-mentioned books, there are four kinds of books that parents and children can read, so that children can master some skills necessary to adapt to school education in advance, and children can continue to read independently after attending primary school.

1, a book with pinyin

Of course, pinyin reading materials are not necessary to cultivate reading ability, but pinyin class is still an unavoidable barrier for most primary schools at present. Many children who can read early are ridiculed at school because they don't know pinyin. Therefore, children should be exposed to some books with pinyin before school.

2. Books on traditional culture

The traditional culture mentioned here refers to folklore, ancient myths, idiom stories and so on. These things are not necessary to learn, but they will involve school education to some extent. If children don't understand at all, they will be looked down upon by teachers and classmates. Knowing a little about folk customs or traditional culture and letting children know that they belong to an amazing group can really give him a sense of security and pride.

3. Interesting encyclopedia

If he pestered you to ask "why" when he was three years old, it was just a matter of hair. Now his question is really out of curiosity. Encyclopedia books not only satisfy his curiosity, but also broaden his knowledge and give him the opportunity to "shine" in front of his classmates and teachers. We really should prepare some for him. However, parents should pay attention to discretion. Reading of such books should be stopped unless children have a strong interest. Don't let your child act like a know-it-all, which will only make him very isolated among his classmates.

4. Long story books

Reading comprehension of 5-6 years old develops rapidly. At this time, some "long serials" in parent-child reading can not only help improve the child's language ability, but also cultivate his patience of listening to only one chapter every day and the habit of "reading as planned". This ability to do one thing step by step in a planned way is particularly beneficial for him to adapt to future classroom study. Moreover, the books he has heard will feel more intimate if he reads them independently in the future. But not all long stories are suitable for this age group, and those interesting, relaxed and imaginative stories are the most suitable.

Reading Methods Needed by Children Aged 5 ~ 6

Children of every age have their own characteristics, and their reading methods need to be adjusted accordingly. 5 ~ 6 years old is a period when a person's understanding far exceeds his expressive ability. If the method is proper, his reading will increase sharply during this period, laying a solid foundation for independent reading. But at this time, children's personality differences have begun to appear, and different children need to be treated differently. The following reading methods are for parents' reference only.

First, semi-autonomous reading

Before children start reading independently, there will be a critical reading habit transition period, which is what we call semi-autonomous reading period here. At this time, you need to encourage him to read for a while after telling the story. You should also add a "reading time" for adults and children to choose a book to hold besides the reading time for parents and children. During this time, let the child read his book alone. Don't let him read aloud, and don't ask him all kinds of questions while he is reading. You just need to be patient with him and set a silent example for him by reading by yourself. If he wants you to talk with a book, you can tell him which book he wants to listen to. You can remember that you can read it to him after the "storytelling time" begins, but it's "reading time" and everyone should read it quietly. As long as you stick to your "rules" calmly, the children will accept it understandably. The "reading time" can be gradually extended, first five minutes, then ten minutes, and then a quarter of an hour. It can be flexibly adjusted, but it must be adhered to. The key to semi-autonomous reading is to exercise children's ability to concentrate by "watching quietly". When a child can sit with a book for an hour with relish, independent reading is not a problem for him.

Second, communication after reading is more important.

In any case, storytelling is still essential for children aged 5-6, but at this time, the focus of storytelling is not on the retelling of the story content, but on a series of ideological exchanges between you and your children after the story is finished. The same book "The Runaway Rabbit", if you spent ten minutes talking about it at the age of three, you should spend half an hour talking about it at the age of five, and the extra twenty minutes are the communication between parents and children after reading. This kind of communication can be triggered by a question, such as "What flower is crocus?" It can also be triggered by an imagination, such as "What kind of person do I want to be ...", or it can be a casual chat about some details related to or unrelated to the book, such as how rabbits give birth to bunnies, which is different from my mother giving birth to me ... Of course, this is more demanding for parents, because you can never predict the children and you. However, this kind of conversation is very important for developing children's oral expression ability and interpersonal communication ability. In spite of the difficulties, you must move forward. I suggest you read more miscellaneous books and popular science books during reading time to broaden your knowledge, so that you won't feel speechless when telling stories. In fact, it is also a valuable experience for parents and children to improve themselves together.

Third, the new use of wordless books.

As I said, books without words are priceless in parent-child reading. You used it to make up countless stories for your children. Now, when your children grow up, it has a new function: let them make up stories for you. If your child has heard you speak wordless books many times, he will accomplish this task very skillfully. If you haven't read a few wordless books with your children in the past, so much the better. Children will have more room to play and interpret a brand-new story in their own language. Don't think that this story-making game only exercises a Qiaozui Zhang, but also exercises children's observation, imagination and logical thinking ability. Children who often play wordless books like this will be like a duck to water when they encounter exam questions that look at pictures and talk after primary school. Most importantly, playing wordless books like this, mom and dad can finally catch their breath and enjoy being an audience!

Fourth, outdoor sports are indispensable.

No parents don't want their children to be strong, but not every parent can attach importance to their children's sports achievements as much as their academic achievements. In fact, health can determine a person's happiness more than intelligence. Teaching children some group sports skills before going to primary school, such as playing football and badminton, will also help him make new friends at school faster. Speaking of which, you may wonder, what does this have to do with reading? In fact, what I want to say is that in the eyes of many people, children who love reading are nerds with developed minds and weak limbs. This is because these children lack outdoor sports. If parents can take their children outdoors for "story-telling time" when they are 5-6 years old, or when telling stories, don't forget to take them to do some sports to help them develop their love and often do some sports.

5. Read with other children

Want to change your child's shyness in front of strangers? Want him to get used to reading and talking loudly in front of his friends? Want him to have more good friends who love reading? Then, what is more fun than holding a book club! Find a suitable place (park, fast food restaurant, bookstore or balcony at home), prepare some delicious food, and send an invitation letter to the children nearby, so that they can bring a book they like (and of course their parents). Then, children can play with parcels, tell stories in turn, or guess puzzles in the book together. It should be noted that if you are gathering at home, please put things that are afraid of being damaged by children in advance where children can't reach them; In addition, you usually need to take your children around other people's homes and get on well with those neighbors, otherwise your sincere invitation may fail.

Frequently asked questions in reading for 5 ~ 6 years old.

Q: Is it enough to tell stories to children? Don't you need to teach them to read and write?

A: 5 ~ 6 years old is the golden age for the development of understanding and expression ability. At this time, spending a child's few good hours absorbing new knowledge on simple and repetitive operations such as literacy and writing is equivalent to killing his chances of studying in other fields. So it is harmful to learn early. Of course, if children have spontaneously entered the sensitive period of literacy and regard writing as a game that they can never get tired of playing, then of course we should let nature take its course.

Q: Children like ancient poems very much. Should I consciously guide him to recite some poems?

A: Unless the child actively asks, try not to take recitation exercises as the content of parent-child reading, because there is no exchange of ideas in recitation, only the parents' requirements for the child and the frustration when the child fails to meet the requirements (naturally, there is no sense of accomplishment). In the long run, children will regard reading time as a burden rather than fun, which is a taboo that will stifle their interest in reading.

Q: Children can read books by themselves. Must I tell him a story?

A: Even if he can write his own book, if he wants to hear your story, you should tell him. Storytelling is not a course, and the course is over if you succeed; Storytelling is the bond of family, happy sharing and exchange of ideas. Unless, one day, your children are very independent and don't need to communicate with you any more, then the story time is over, but at that time, the most sad thing may be the "unemployed" parents.

Q: Children want to watch TV. Should I show it to him?

A: It's not impossible to watch TV, but it's best to wait until the child learns self-restraint. If you give him the TV remote control, he will only watch the cartoons he wants to watch for ten minutes and then go to sleep. That's when he can watch TV. But most children can't do this, so TV will be like the window of a garbage station, pouring all kinds of exciting junk information into their minds, making them gradually lose the ability to distinguish good from bad and think seriously. Although not every child will be brainwashed by vulgar TV programs, he should not be allowed to take such risks too early anyway.

Q: The father of the child doesn't like reading and doesn't care about the child. How much influence does this have on children's reading?

A: Dad's absence may not affect children's reading ability, but it is the most irreparable loss in parent-child relationship. Especially when the child grows up and begins to play his social role in kindergartens and schools, contact with his father will be particularly important to him. In the story of Zhujiajian, there is a plot that is particularly interesting, that is, the child and his father make a mess at home together and become a pig's head-this plot seems to emphasize the indispensability of the mother, but on the other hand, if the child is not always surrounded by a well-organized and meticulous mother-like life and occasionally leads an informal, free and unrestrained father-like life, he will be more manly. If this is a boy, he will be more easily accepted and liked by boys at school; If this is a girl, she will be more cheerful and brave than those girls who have no father's love. And this little personality difference is enough for them to "win at the starting line."

Q: When my child was young, I didn't read by the book and he couldn't find it. Now that he knows some words, should I read from the book or continue reading at will?

A: If you are reading with a book in your hand, you'd better follow it. If you want to be casual, you can put the book aside. This is pure storytelling. The reason why we should read by the book is that although we don't require our children to read very early, we should establish a sense of connection between their "words" and "sounds" in the process of reading. If he reads a book and says "rabbit" and you read "rabbit", the rabbit and rabbit in his mind are mixed up.

Q: How to read Qiaoshu?

A: Hashimoto is actually a very vague concept. My understanding is that it generally refers to literary books with more illustrations suitable for independent reading in the lower grades of primary schools. Generally speaking, such books are composed of short and interesting stories, which stimulate the interest of primary school students in moving from this "bridge" to the real literary continent. It is certainly possible to use it for parent-child reading at the age of 5 ~ 6, but parents should mainly tell their children. It is worth noting that some picture books with average picture quality also call themselves "Hashimoto". Most of these books are still based on pictures, with few words and dry literature. This kind of "pseudo-bridge book" is better to read less.

Q: The child wants to take the book to the kindergarten. Should I let him take it?

A: If children have this desire to share, it is very encouraging. If you are afraid that your children's books will be torn, you can choose some cheap and good paperback picture books (such as Frog Frog, Different Ksenya Goryachova Camilla and Warm Heart) in advance. You should tell yourself in advance that these books are purely for sharing, and you don't expect them to be restored, so there will be no heartache when the books are broken.

Q: Should children buy comic books like Altman if they want to read them?

A: A normal performance of children aged 5-6 is their desire to integrate into a group. He wants to see Altman. Maybe other children are watching him. If he didn't, he might be isolated by these children. Therefore, if you want a lonely little genius who is spotless but difficult to integrate into society, you can only show him good books that you think are pure enough, but if you want a happy ordinary person who can talk to everyone, you'd better give him some opportunities to get in touch with pop culture. But you can keep your contempt for Altman, refuse to tell him these comic stories, and let him know that these books are "just his choice", not that you are like him. That's enough.
