Hello parents, This is one of the most requested posts. Often I received questions about what kind of books we choose for babies and kids. In this post I am going to share with you the type and the sequence of books from babies to kids.
I am the mother of three girl children, and I developed reading habits in my elder one as well as now my babies (they are not babies anymore), are preschoolers, by using these books.
SOME IMPORTANT POINTS
1. Babies cannot read on their own. Just give them exposure.
2. It is not necessary to read the book. If they're turning the page, let them.
3. Always start reading with the name of the book and the author of the book.
4. It is okay to re- read the same book thousands of times.
5. Books should not be read only at specific times. It can be anytime and anywhere.
THE LIST OF THE BOOK FOR BABIES/TODDLERS
When your baby is small, their eyesight is not fully developed. These are specially designed for babies in black and white contrast shades.
You can DIY them or take printables from Google. Introduce these books as soon as possible. These are best for tummy time.
The second one is a clothes book. When your baby started to crawl or put everything in the mouth stage, these books were really useful. Because they are made up of clothes, so you can use them. These are soft, and parents do not need to worry about mouthing.
These are our favorites. Colorful, with pictures and small words. These board books include picture books, storybooks, concept books, etc. These are really good. It helps to improve visuals as well as vocabulary too.
These are soft books. Inside, the books have different kinds of material, like fluffy, silk, furry, feathery, etc. Each material is described with the picture. Like flowers are silky, rabbits' ears are fluffy, etc.
These are must-have books for your toddler especially.
These are specially designed for extra curious toddlers. Books' pages have moving parts. For example, monkeys on swings—then in this interactive book you can move the swings by your hand. If there is rain, then you can actually move the raindropslike this.
Precautions should be taken, as these books should be handled in the presence of parents. If you allow them to read on their own, then they will tear it as fast as they can ЁЯШЖ. My personal experience.
STORY BOOK (one or two lines)
Yes, you can introduce a story now to your babies. Just take the books that have daily concepts through stories with one or two lines, and everything is described in pictures. This way toddlers' imaginations work strongly. And it also widens their brains.
Yes, I personally feel this book should be in your library. Nursery rhyme books are very well illustrated, and toddlers watch the words and pictures too. I love this Nursery Rhymes book.
CONCLUSION:
My house is filled with books, and I used to read them since they were babies. Of course the first condition is you have to read your book; then only babies or your kids will love to read books. Be flexible and give more exposure of books to kids. Join groups or follow pages for books. You can find really good deals on books.
