Children's literature 5 7 years old. Fiction for children. Literary adaptation by Irina Karnaukhova

What books should children 5-6 years old read?

Many parents wonder what to read to children at a given age. There are a lot of opinions on this matter.
The task of an adult is to reveal to the child the extraordinary that a book carries within itself, the pleasure that immersion in reading brings. In order to attract a child to a book, an adult must love literature himself, enjoy it as art, understand complexity, and be able to convey his feelings and experiences to children.
At preschool age, children get acquainted with Russian and world folklore in all the diversity of its genres - from lullabies, nursery rhymes, counting rhymes, teasers, riddles, proverbs to fairy tales and epics, from Russian and foreign classics. With works by V. A. Zhukovsky, A. S. Pushkin, P. G. Ershov, C. Perrault, the Brothers Grimm, H. K. Andersen, S. Ya. Marshak, K. I. Chukovsky, and many others.
It is no secret that modern children read little, preferring books to watching television programs, videos, and computer films. This sad reality should make parents think and try to somehow improve the situation.
Adults should pay attention to the child’s age, level intellectual development, interest in what you read and, in connection with this, select books to read. You should not strive to read everything: you should think not about quantity, but about the benefits of what you read and perceive.
Children need to read as much as possible more books. It is very important that he loves this activity. The book may be of interest to both boys and girls, the main thing is to find an option that the child will like.
Scientists have found that a child who is systematically read to accumulates rich lexicon.
By reading with his mother, the child actively develops imagination and memory.
It is reading that performs not only a cognitive, aesthetic, but also an educational function. Therefore, parents need to read books to their children from early childhood.
It is very important to draw children’s attention to the figurative language of fairy tales, stories, and poems, attracting preschoolers to repeat the individual words, expressions, and songs of the characters that they remember.
By mastering the content of a fairy tale, children learn to convey words different heroes, repeat intonations. This lays the foundation for further independent development of intonation expressiveness at an older age.
From the age of 5 a new stage begins in literary development child. Magical Russians are becoming children's favorites folk tales with their wonderful fiction, fantastic nature, developed plot action, full of conflicts, obstacles, dramatic situations, various motives (treachery, wonderful help, opposition to the evil and good forces and much more), with bright strong characters heroes. Russian folk tales (“Morozko”, “Sivkaburka”, “The Frog Princess”, “Sister Alyonushka and Brother Ivanushka”, and others). Open up space for the child’s feelings and thoughts about complex world, where the good and the good collide in an irreconcilable struggle evil forces, where children are confirmed in the indispensable, inevitable victory of good over evil, are surprised at miracles and mysteries and try to uncover and comprehend them. At an older age, a child acquires the ability to understand text without the help of illustrations. Children are already able to understand events in the book that were not present in theirs for an hour. own experience. The child develops the ability to perceive literary work in the unity of content and form, to comprehend verbal image, treat it as an author’s device. There also arises the ability not only to notice an expressive, bright word, but also to realize its role in the text.
While reading, a feeling of emotional closeness may arise between an adult and a child; try not to destroy this magical feeling.

How to learn poetry.

We easily remember what we have emotionally “experienced”. With intellectual memory the situation is more complicated.

Memorizing is always difficult. The main thing is that there is no guarantee that after some time what you have learned will not fly out of your head. You can, however, try to combine these two types of memory. For example, turn memorizing poems into an interesting and useful game for the development of the child’s emotional sphere.

And achieve success in life

Here are some tips that you can follow to help your child easily “experience” and remember the content of a poetic text.

Tip #1

Read the chosen poem aloud several times in a row, each time with a different intonation and mood. After each reading, invite your child to independently determine the mood of what he heard.

Tell us that there are different moods: solemn, cheerful, joyful, mischievous, humorous, sad, sad, angry, threatening, whiny, anxious.

With this method of working, poems are memorized in their entirety after several repetitions.

Tip #2

Reading a poem in “different keys” can be used both to consolidate a text that has just been learned, and to repeat any other text known to the child.

The poem is read line by line and in turn. When you start, you set the mood that the child must pick up in order to continue reading. Each time you change your mood, and the child follows you intonationally.

Read aloud the poem “Miracle” by R. Sefa. Ask the children to choose for each line funny face with the appropriate mood and designate it with the same number as the line number.

1. Haven’t you seen a miracle yet?

2. Never seen a miracle?

3. The trouble is, I didn’t see the miracle!

So go and have a look.

4. You will see just a miracle

Amazing miracle:

Where the "Posuda" store is

Near house number three,

Through the asphalt at the intersection

A birch tree is breaking through.

The usefulness of reading together with a child is very high: the benefits are disproportionately high in relation to the time spent, although with the obligatory condition that these costs be systematic.

And the benefit is not only in the formation and development of the child’s mental and emotional potential, but also in the bookmark basic principles building relationships between the child and society in general, and with various representatives of society in particular.

Using the examples of book heroes, it is easier to explain what good and evil, bad and good deeds are.

Where else will you get so many examples?

Only books should correspond to the age interests and needs of the child. After all, they develop imagination, horizons, the ability to fantasize, teach them to be friends, love, empathize, dream, and joke.

Books should not be empty and, especially, harmful.

You can, of course, limit yourself to showing cartoons and films, but this way you will introduce the child to the director’s imagination. By reading books, you will pave the way for the development of his own imagination, and then offer to compare him with the director’s fantasy.

The meaning of fairy tales

Start introducing your child to reading from folk tales. They clearly separate the concepts of good and evil, bad and good; they are not confused, but clearly expressed and clearly outlined, which corresponds to the level of development of consciousness of children 3-4 years old.

In folk tales, the worldly wisdom of our ancestors seems to be preserved; they teach that good and evil always get what they deserve.

Of course, in life everything is more complicated; evil does not manifest itself so clearly, but often hides under the guise of good. But understanding this should come on time, do not rush time. Don't ignore fairy tales, even if they seem outdated to you. They lay down for the child the basics of concepts on which basic ideas about human feelings, about the principles of building relationships between people.

Choose fairy tales with high-quality presentation: with beautiful literary translation and literary treatment.

For example, Andersen's fairy tales without processing are not adapted to the perception of modern children. His instructive, deep fairy-tale stories without processing are suitable for older children, if the child himself can look at the story through the prism of modern reality, and if it is interesting to him.

Be sure to take note:

Some of the best and famous translators children's books:

• Korney Chukovsky.
• Nikolai Chukovsky (son of Korney Chukovsky).
• Boris Zakhoder.
• Samuel Marshak (translations of children's and other poetry).

One of the most famous retellers of fairy tales is Alexei Tolstoy.

These are classic writers. Their works and translations date back to the last century. But the concepts of good and evil can also be considered classics; they do not age. Their works will introduce the child to classical literary language and figurative artistic style writing.

And remember: books, like any knowledge, must be age appropriate.

Adventure stories

Start introducing adventure story cycles to your child closer to 5 years of age, when the level of perception, the ability to remember and analyze, is already more developed. With them you can start teaching your child to read independently.

These fabulous adventures will give your child a long trip into an imaginary world fascinating stories from the lives of heroes.

Some of the stories could well have happened in his children's world, and for each character it is easy to select a prototype from the child’s environment, including himself.

While reading all the stories from one cycle, the child will definitely become attached to some favorite character, whom he will empathize with and rejoice with.

This is very reminiscent of friendly affection. The child will want to return to the world of adventures of his favorite characters again and again, and this will help to give birth to another desire - to quickly master independent reading (from personal experience).

Hello, friends!

It's standing on our street beautiful weather— I want to walk, ride a bike, roller skate, climb trees and slides. And I'll tell you about what we have read so far over the long autumn-winter period and What, in general, can you read to a 5-6 year old child?. :)

At this age, many children are already reading on their own. It’s a pity that some mothers and fathers then stop reading. After all, he already knows how to do it himself! The logic is usually like this: I’ll stop reading, he’ll want to and will “reach out” himself. But I still think this is not the age and not the thing when you can throw it into the water and either it will come out and learn to swim, or you will be unlucky...

A common problem: a child can read, but does not read and asks his parents. On the one hand, the child does not like to read because of the low reading speed, on the other hand, in order for the speed to increase, he must read. Contradiction. But, by the way, it can be solved quite easily TRIZ methods. It is necessary to separate these two processes in time: There is a time when a child reads on his own, and there is a time when his parents read to him.

Gleb has been reading himself for a long time. I have already read several thick books from little tales and stories. I wrote about our first books. But now the interests of the child lie much further than the possibilities. You want to read or listen to 10-15 pages, but you can only read one! Yes and font in books that are truly captivating small child— definitely not for preschoolers or even first-graders.

But it's important not only continue reading, but also know what to read to your child. You can often hear parents complaining “the child used to love it when they read to him, but now it’s somehow not so much.” And it turns out that they still read to him the Adventures of Dunno and the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm. (This wonderful books, but still the library needs to be updated and the repertoire constantly expanded.) Books should “grow” with the child or at some point they will become boring, like the pyramid and the tumbler.

I'll tell you about some books we have read in the last 6-8 months. Of course, this is not all - there was still a lot New Year's stories, encyclopedias, ordinary fairy tales, educational stories.

I read this book when I was in 3rd grade. We lived in a village and dug up mole crickets more than once when we planted potatoes; fought aphids on apple trees; Colorado beetles were collected from leaves. That's why This book made a huge impression on me then. After all, I saw all these insects, held them in my hands, and now I was talking about them, and in such an unusual form.

For Gleb it was a “doubly” new world. A city child doesn’t even see an ant very often. Literally after each chapter, we looked for the mentioned insects on the street, if possible, or at least photographs in encyclopedias.

And of course, This book is just for this age: exciting, dynamic, educational. It's hard to imagine better.

“This universe is full of things that are necessary
figure out, that is, examine in terms of their biteability, and
also, perhaps, devouringness; full of mysterious
places where you can produce entertaining experiments For
clarifying the question of where is the best place to make puddles.”

Some might say that these are “strange tales” or “not for everybody.” It seemed to me that this almost philosophical tales who ask deep questions to think about the eternal. And don’t think that the topics here are “too mature”, and children need something simpler. This is wrong. He begins to think about many things that a child would not have thought about for a long time. His understanding of the world and people expands at lightning speed. Much faster and more efficient than when reading the same encyclopedias.

And of course, for everyone who wants but doesn’t know how to develop a sense of humor in children- I warmly recommend it. There is something funny or ironic in almost every line.

The story is about a doctor who has magic pills to cure cowardice and sadness. And these pills, along with the suitcase in which they were located, are “lost” and a series of adventures and “strange” events begin.

In my opinion, this is one of those books when baby can't tear himself away, and somewhere deep, deep, a solid foundation is being formed - reading is an incomparable pleasure. Unfortunately, this foundation does not appear on its own; its place can easily be taken by playing games on an iPad or watching cartoons.

This year we read a lot of history books. It all started last summer with legends about the flying Dutchman . Gleb and I read this book in 7 days while we were on a water kayaking trip. And then it started: King Arthur and knights Round table, Iliad, Odyssey, twelve labors of Hercules. Of course, we didn’t read them in a row. After every book you need a good break: you get tired of the language and style of storytelling.

But I'm glad that in classes at theater studio Gleb can “show” (depict with gestures or body movements) King Arthur. But often children easily show “cars”, “luntik” and fall into a stupor when they hear the task of showing the knight of the Round Table.

The story is about a red-haired boy who lived quietly in a village near Leningrad, and then was forced to move with his mother to the other side globe- to Kamchatka.

This is not a fairy tale or adventure novel, and not historical story , and at first it seems like it won’t hook modern child, who doesn’t understand what it’s like to get a haircut while wearing cologne, or why you should date a sailor, and what’s so special about this sailor in general. But Gleb really liked it(maybe because he also dreams of meeting, but only with the driver :))). AND there was a lot to discuss: and about Soviet Union, and about travel, and just about the lives of other people.

I talked a little about this book in an article about unexpected children's thinking . This book is a treasure trove of all kinds of TRIZ questions and problems. Anyway, the three Naxitralls are very inventive, and your child can become the same, just by watching them and trying to help with every “difficult” problem.

I cannot recommend all the stories in this book openly. On the one hand, it is interesting that the main character, an already adult father who talks about his childhood, has a lot of pressing childhood problems. Anyway, Gleb “found” many of his problems: touchiness, selectivity in food. And awareness of the problem, even through the main character, is a reason to work on oneself, sometimes even unconsciously. Maybe, of course, Gleb simply “outgrew”, but, to my happiness, after some time after reading the book we stopped hearing: “I’m offended by you!” But some of the conclusions the author makes and the straightforward morality in some of the stories turned me off. But this again gave a lot of reasons for discussion - which in itself is good.

I didn’t know about such an author - Vangeli Spiridon Stepanovich, nor about the book, of course. But enjoyed immersing ourselves in the unfamiliar world of the Moldavian village. I will not tire of repeating: it is important for children not only to know wild animals, types of transport, rivers in Africa, capitals of Europe, or count to n-twenty. These are the books, which tells about such an unusual, completely different life, starting from food, ending with the daily routine and views on the meaning of life, truly expand our understanding of the world.

She left the book with me double feeling. On the one hand, Gleb understood the boy’s feelings - our grandmothers also live far away, they come 1-2 times a year for 5-10 days. On the other hand, it begins to seem that the boy has a “strange” relationship with his parents. It’s as if something is missing in them, and so the poor boy makes up for this lack with fantasies in a tree or communication with an elderly neighbor. The more loving adults around a child, the better.. But still if There is loving parents , there cannot be such an urgent need for a “caring adult.”

But, in any case, an interesting, calm, reverent story.

Like this impressive list for the summer I did it. Now you know, what to read to a 5-6 year old child.
Good luck in choosing books and enjoy reading!

I found inaccuracy in the article: the book “Sunny Boy” - You cite an illustration of a Book for parents raising special children by O. Stepanova, but you apparently mean this book http://www.labirint.ru/search/Sunny%20boy/ author S. Sakhorov.

Ksenia Nesyutina

My children love books. My son has been able to read for three years now, but we still continue to read together. This is already like a tradition or even a ritual before bed. Sometimes only I read, sometimes I take turns with him, then we discuss what we read together. Last summer we started reading a series of books about the adventures of Karandash and Samodelkin; both our eight-year-old son and our five-year-old daughter like these books. We all want to laugh together.

Yulchatka

That’s right, Ksenia, we need to keep reading)) My daughter is 11 years old, and we very often read to each other and sometimes distribute dialogues according to roles. You can have a lot of fun reading together))
For some reason, “The Muff” didn’t work for us, maybe we started working on this book too late.

Olga

Ksenia, interesting review. We have also started reading “The Adventures of Gugutse” now; we recently finished another book by the same author, “Chubo from the village of Turturik”. I really liked these books, they are so unusual. There are such non-trivial decisions, such unpredictable turns of events. I agree, such books teach you to think outside the box, expand your boundaries, and break molds.
We are not yet five years old, but I keep many of the books from your review on my radar; I already have a whole shelf at home to grow on. There is still something to read for our age.
And from Dunno we have so far only read “The Adventures of Dunno and His Friends”, but we have not yet gotten to the Sunny City and the Moon, although we read a lot. So, at the age of five, children are no longer interested in this?

Ksenia Nesyutina

Dunno on the Moon - you can read it at 8-10 and it will be interesting. We started a year ago, but it seems it was too early. I meant that Dunno is enough popular work and parents fall into the trap of rereading it and rereading it. Many people still try to remember books from their own childhood - this is wonderful, but reading with my children, I understand how much I missed in childhood! What I mean is that sometimes you just have to look interesting books. Perhaps you just haven’t read them, but your child will be a little luckier)

Children aged 5 to 6 years are already ready for big books, for the process of reading with continuation. They actively react to the content of the work, sympathize literary heroes. They willingly enter into a dialogue about what they read, answering questions, retelling what they heard from the book, and enthusiastically illustrating the plot they liked.

Children aged 5 and 6 years old listen with great pleasure to and discuss works of different genres on topics of morality, the lives of their peers, surrounding nature and heroic events described in books. They begin to show great interest in scientific, educational and research literature.
