If we touch on the history of the creation of children's books, it becomes clear that the cause of this process was the need to teach kids the diversity of the world around them. A child with the help of cognitive literature could learn more about his planet - its complexity and unusualness.
At the same time, the range of various topics raised in the training books is very wide. Here you can find not only structured encyclopedias or reference books, but also entertaining books for young biologists or geographers, mathematicians or geologists. Books on home economics or etiquette can be a great help for young housewives.
Educational literature for children
Encyclopedias for kids have a very powerful potential. Interesting stories help to understand the diversity of the inhabitants of the world, from insects to people. For almost every branch of human life special reference books have been created. There is something to learn, depending on the interests of the child.
Unfortunately, cognitive literature for the development of children is now being largely supplanted by the Internet and television. Such methods of transmitting information are not only more convenient and affordable, but more spectacular and attractive. In addition, there are museum exhibits that can also compete with books. And yet, literature is our everything. Therefore, in competent hands, books will become a bright and relevant option for a child to satisfy the thirst for knowledge of the world.
Parents and educators should strive to not only offer children specific lists of literature, but to teach them how to enjoy cognitive activity. Only with the help of adults will a child be able to choose in a huge variety of literature really worthwhile and useful specimens that will form the intellectual base and create favorable soil for development in adolescence.
List of compulsory literature for cognition
The primers have already been studied, it's time to move on to more complex books. Rosman Publishing House publishes an amazing series of books united by one title - “Your First Encyclopedia”. It is extremely popular among parents of preschool children. There is a guide to the animal world, and acquaintance with cars, and even a book about magic and fairies. Vivid pictures, a convenient and beautiful format - such encyclopedias will be an excellent gift for a baby from three to four years old.
Children who prefer to explore the world in a fabulous form can be introduced to the spider Yana, created by the writer Diana Amft. A little good spider will spend a vacation on the farm and tell the child who is who in the animal kingdom.
Learning Books for Toddlers
Initially, children are interested in listening to short stories and stories from their own lives that dad and mom come up with before going to bed. As soon as the kid learns such small plots, you can connect artistic images. To do this, there are collections with tales and nurseries, the first books in which household objects, wild and domestic animals, plants, flowers and insects will be painted.
Books of the publishing house “Karapuz” are collections of fairy tales, stories and stories that are very useful for parents and attractive for children. For starters, you can purchase "Toys" and "Animals", then expand the range with the interesting book "Bunnies Away". The wonderful literature, which is created in the form of dialogue with the child, will help to remember the daily rituals of falling asleep and waking up, brushing your teeth and walking, eating and sleeping.
Literature for the youngest readers
Already at the age of one or two years, children begin to be interested in books. And this period is a great moment to offer them literature for cognitive activity. These books include two collections from the publishing house "Peter". The author Lina Shtissel with the help of her little heroes - the Little Mouse and the Ladybug - teaches children to understand what all life is made of, how our planet appeared and how life was born on it.
On the pages of the book, preschoolers will be able to understand in an entertaining way what atoms are, how they form various bodies and substances. The fairy-tale form of the story helps to remember all the new information in the shortest possible time.
The best "pochumuchki"
The famous crisis of three years is necessarily accompanied by thousands of children's issues. Every day, father and mother hear from the child: “Why?”, “Why?”, “And how?”. Therefore, at an early age, the child needs to be acquainted with the relevant cognitive literature, which will help give answers to all his questions.
For example, Rosman publishes a successful series called Smart Books. Vibrant reference books introduce their readers to the nature that surrounds or surrounded us. These are insects and animals, seasons, our ancestors are dinosaurs. A lot of illustrations and a minimum of text - what children need in three or four years.
Teaching profession
The future self-determination in the profession depends on how competently cognitive literature is involved in the child’s activities. This stage takes a long period of time, since from the age of one the baby begins to acquaint with various activities of adults. And the literature helps a lot in this regard - pictures, poems and descriptions make it possible to remember that a driver drives a car, a pastry chef bakes cakes, a hairdresser makes haircuts, and a doctor treats in a hospital.
Interactive books allow you to consolidate the knowledge gained in a playful way. Such cognitive literature includes collections from the publishing house "Drofa". Books are cut out of cardboard in the shape of an animal or car. Thus, the reader is also a toy.
Publishing house "World of childhood - Media" offers to discuss adult activities with children through an acquaintance with a beaver named Castor. In books about Castor, you can find out where a wooden cupboard or a delicious pie comes from, how to fix damaged tires, how to sew clothes and how to paint furniture.
Meet your homeland
Initially, the baby begins to understand what his house is. Further knowledge is expanded. On a walk, parents explain to the child what a street, a village or a city is, a country and a planet. Already at the age of two years, children are able to remember constant routes, surprising adults with stories about the street on which his grandfather and grandmother live.
But if such elementary things can be explained empirically by example, then what about the description of other peoples and distant countries? This is where cognitive literature comes in handy. You can start small. Take, for example, the poem "Mail" by Samuel Marshak or the story of the same name by Boris Zhitkov. A letter traveling around the world, or a postman from the distant Nenets land, are wonderful storytellers about what is happening very far from us.
Fiction educational literature
A little later, when the child is four years old, he will be able to independently study the surrounding reality. As soon as the baby learns to read, fiction will become its constant companion.
Tales and stories of such writers as Vitaly Bianki, Mikhail Prishvin, Boris Zhitkov and Evgeny Charushin form a very friendly and positive attitude towards nature and the planet. At a later age, you can replenish the children's library with books by Kipling and Salten, Paustovsky and Sladkov, Sokolov-Mikitov and Chaplin.
This literature contributes to the development of spirituality and emotionality, fills the children's psyche with spirituality and respect for the world.
Children's Encyclopedias
The moon hangs above the Earth, but does not fall on it. Why? Why on earth did the lion be called the king of beasts? And how to build a bridge across the river? Why does a camel hump? Why do migratory birds leave their native land? Why doesn't the plane crash to the ground? Some of these issues can lead an adult into a dead end. Therefore, in any list of cognitive literature for children there are encyclopedias. They will give the child all the necessary answers, as well as give a lot of new knowledge and emotions.
On the fourth birthday, you can give your child a book "Why is the grass green and another 100 children's" why "." She will become a real guide for the baby in such an incomprehensible adult world. And parents will give a lot of free time and help to become a real sage in children's eyes.
Regardless of how vast the children's library is, how many informative and useful books are in it, children need to give their attention and free time. Then literature will become a true friend and reliable companion of the child throughout his life.
