Best Books For Kids By Age

Published on: 29 May , 2018 | Megha Patni

  They say, “When you open a book, you open a whole new world!” Books are like your best friend for life. Introduce your child to books! We bring to you the Best Books For Kids By Age. Being an avid reader myself, this subject is so close to my heart that I would keep talking about it for hours! Story books! Yes the most important aspect in your child’s development and growth is to introduce them to story books at an early age so that their vocabulary increases, creates imagination and generates curiosity.

Books – Your Child’s Best Friend

Introducing your child to books at an early age helps them in reading and they also get to know the different characters of the book and places as well. This helps them in building their own little world of imagination. Pick a particular book and assist them in reading - this will go a long way in helping them gain confidence levels, coping with feelings and also get a grasp of language and learning. Reading can also help your child in learning new words, language and will inculcate in them value of books. It helps in overall development of your child, the ability to listen and understand words. Apart from making books their best friends, reading habit will also help a parent-child bond to grow stronger. No matter what age, even if your child is just a six month old baby or a toddler, introduce them to colorful soft board books to understand colors and also to give them a feel of their first board book.

Read It Aloud

If you haven’t made bedtime stories as a habit, do it right now! Ditch those mobile phones and tablets and instead sit with a book to read to your child. This way your child will form a habit of book reading. As psychologists point out – your child mirror you. So if you are sitting in a corner of the room with your cell phone in your hand, don’t expect your child to sit with a book. She too would want to keep staring at her tab for hours end! Don’t get discouraged if for the first time your little one may not listen carefully to you or may interrupt you by asking questions. That is all a part of a book reading journey and as you go along, the key lies in being patient.

Stories To Look Out For

Search for those books which help your child find him or herself in the books. Pick books which actually teach kindness and humility and which are at the same point of time humorous.  Stories which showcase different experiences, people, background or identities helps your child in being aware about several things as he or she grows  up. From early years till the age of six, you help your child in selecting a book. That does not mean that this decision is left 100% on you. You can always discuss the same with your little one while shopping for books or else school libraries always assist in choosing a book. While for seven years and above, children by now start choosing their favorite books or even authors as well. But that does not mean that you stop selecting or assisting them when they reach this age. Take interest at the kind of books they read, it can even turn out to be a fun and interactive session where you can always ask about their favorite characters. Like for example, Roald Dahl is a popular author among the age group of seven and above. Your child would have already become familiar with his kind of writing and the different kind of characters that the author introduces each time. As soon as your child reaches at the age of 10 years old, they would have already decided on their favorites. Such as Captain Underpants is another famous series among kids.
