How the books should be for 3 to 5 years child?
Wordless books also encourage parent-child conversations and imagination. Present books that describe basic concepts, such as numbers and letters, to prepare him for kindergarten. Keep reading with your child, but also offer a steady stream of engaging books and lots of positive vibes and good conversations about reading and books in general. Discovered on a coffee table, a great photo book or book about lizards can keep kids busy for long distances.
For this reason, many parents are afraid to bring home branded “leveled reading books,” but there are plenty of early reading books that don’t create the pressurized atmosphere that these figures can convey. Read on according to picture book favorites and some more demanding books that you can’t read yourself yet, such as Roald Dahl’s “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” or Kate DiCamillo’s “Edward Tulane’s Wondrous Journey.” New York-based artist and author Jon Burgerman talks to Five Books about his favorite titles, which encourage kids to have fun and be playful without worrying or afraid of failure and simply enjoy the limitless possibilities of imagination. Just as with chapter book readers, middle-class readers like to stick with their favorite characters for multiple books.
These books do not include the level of violence or sexuality that is acceptable in young adult novels, although some middle-class books intended for the older end of the spectrum may easily include violent scenes or a first kiss. You can introduce picture books straight from the neonatal period into the story-time mix, but the sweet spot for picture books is later toddler age and beyond. Korky Paul, the illustrator of the hugely popular Winnie the Witch series (among others), talks to Five Books about the pictures and books that inspired him the most. Cars, dinosaurs, dogs, and other topics are covered in layered books with lots of pictures designed specifically for kids of this age.
Paula Young Shelton, author of Child of the Civil Rights Movement, recommends the best anti-racist books for kids. For many children, picture books organized like catalogs or encyclopedias are even more convincing than stories, and even the most story-loving child sometimes likes to get lost in these “fact books.”
