How to Introduce Picture Books

Concepts probably start with simple ones like colors, shapes, sizes, numbers, time, letters, emotions, etc., and gradually transition to big concepts like knowing the seasons, the seasons, quantum mechanics, programming, war, death, peace, life, and so on.

Conceptual books, like knowledge books, *** need to be constructed when you read them. What it means to construct is to recover the process.

For example, to recognize shapes, you can take your hand and draw them in the pictures in the book, and let your baby draw them too. This process is important. Have you ever wondered why you still draw when you have a camera. When we look at the picture, would you see so many things without the description? Do you think you see it all? When we take a picture we click it and think we've got the whole picture in, in actuality you may not feel all the things in that picture, whereas when you paint every stroke, it's the equivalent of feeling all of what's in that picture.

Have you ever noticed how a child counts, at first he just repeats after you, not understanding the exact meaning, then he slowly counts things, but obviously 5, he may count 8, and then slowly over to accurately correspond to a finger and a number, and this is the time when she really understands counting, and why she has to count.

More complex and bigger concepts of course, we have to bring the child to perceive, to perceive the change of seasons, to perceive every holiday, and even to perceive death, to perceive pain.

So the conceptual book is not the less text the simpler, but the closer to the child's life experience and cognitive level the simpler, the book I introduced before, "First there was the egg", the text is so simple, up to the age of 4 years old is estimated to be completely unintelligible, the author's another lemon is not the red, it is a little easier.

Like the alphabet book and such, it looks very simple, and still don't touch it under the age of 4 either.

The year before last, we had been "former" world's youngest tycoon Zuckerberg screen, he upgraded to father, read to the child "baby's quantum physics", some people questioned, so young baby can read? As we said before, reading picture books is not only language and cognitive enlightenment, there is also artistic enlightenment, the book's graphics and colors are still very suitable for small babies to read, and the child from a young age in the vocabulary of the words of physics, grow up when he comes into contact with the physics of the time will not be unfamiliar.

Of course this book needs to be constructed for the child to read it. Have a look at the video below.

The last topic about cognitive books when the introduction of many are made into the shape of a three-dimensional book to help the child understand the knowledge.

There are a lot of these types of concept books.

For example, in this Dr. Seuss book, the fish at the top are plastic fish that can be counted.

Of course, many storybooks involve concepts, especially complex concepts, that children can understand through storytelling, such as the two books above, which help children understand what it means to be lucky, and that there are many sides to every story.

The story above helps children understand what war is.

"Grandma Chun's Hands" understands the ups and downs of life and love.
