Psychologists unanimously claim: the best toys in the world are
lively communication between parents with a child and reading good books aloud. But development is a phased process that takes time. When it is time to read the child of books, where to start and how to interact more efficiently in the process?
Reading is one of the important elements of the development of the child. First of all, this concerns speech. It is believed that if you start reading the baby earlier, he will speak earlier. This is one of the reasons why early development has become so popular.
Sometimes parents think – the more information the child will receive from the diapers, the smarter he will become in the future. However, in reality, children are not always ready to sit and listen to fairy tales or even more a textbook, even for babies. They always want to be in motion. That is why many parents ask the question: when is it best to start reading to the child and take possession of his attention?
Start with illustrations
Show the baby pictures from a very early age, and it is worth starting with black and white, with the image of clear figures and fat lines. This will help him stimulate vision and train the brain department responsible for visual images.
Lullabies

Lullabies make it possible to strengthen the emotional connection of the child with the parent, enrich the speech and horizons of the child, connecting him with his native culture from infancy.

Short poems and nursery rhymes
When a child learns to sit, put him on your knees and steal the first books together. Thus, the baby will train his fingers and fine motor skills. In this position, he will be able to look at the pictures in books and at the same time will be glad to listen to simple rhymes and nursery rhymes. With his cheerful and sonorous laughter, the child will let you know if he likes this process.
The first fairy tales
Starting from 1.5-2 years, you can already tell or read short stories so that the child can concentrate on the “most important”, and not just fall asleep under the roller one, is unknown where Kolobok. And again, illustrations play a huge role-in the picture you can explain, tell, together, learn, for example, colors, numbers, talk about what mood the hero has, and “try on it for yourself”.
Be sure to pronounce the material you have done several times. For children, of course, it is important that this stream of information is in a playful way, the only way you can keep the child’s attention by 100%. Kids differ from older children in that they are much faster and lose the thread of the main thought. That is why the stories at their age should be as short as possible, and stories – uncomplicated.
« Big » books
At about 3 years old, the child is already ready for his first “big” books. Moreover, they must first carry an entertainment function-without interested the baby, it is difficult to teach him something. Do not be afraid to read the same fairy tale several times in a row, if he likes it and he asks you about it. The child is good and calmly “in the company” of the already favorite story. In addition, this way you better analyze and fix the material read.
Involve the baby in the analysis of the text, discuss illustrations, dream, fantasize with your child. This is not only fun, but also useful, because reading children’s literature, adults begin to better understand children, their problems and interests. Parents get the opportunity to find out the strengths of their child, helping him develop in the right direction.
After all, this is the meaning of raising a child – to help him find himself in this world.
