The greatest books for children from 5 to 10 years old

What to choose in a thicket of books, books, books, comics and albums? Probably it is not easy for you to navigate the whole bunch of publishing news. Do not get into the bottle buying a bad book, because it may for a long time kill your child's willingness to read. Boring, poorly complex, or too archaic reading can do more harm than good.

We show what to follow when buying books and what to look for. We chose the best and beautifully illustrated proposals for children aged 5 to 10 years. 

What to look for when choosing a book for a child?

• publishing house - good checked books for kids These are, for example, two sisters, nooks and crannies, druganoga, mamania, fork, babaryba, culture of anger, our bookstore, fairy tale, dot, clinic K, literature and green owl
• authors and authors - known and liked are a guarantee of fun
• illustrations - If we feel that we don't know each other in the illustration, then appreciated names like Emilia Dziubak, Ewa and Paweł Pawlakowie, Elżbieta Wasiuczyńdks 
• publication date - especially when it comes to maps, atlases or other factual publications - the administrative boundaries of countries and their names are changing, so it's worth buying as the latest versions
• Is there an editors or even a scientific editors. Scientific editors are the most important in positions with a lot of facts and specialist knowledge, such as atlas of mushrooms for children, or a book about customs on different continents. Language editors, called the editors, cares about linguistic and stylistic correctness
• translators and translators - Let's look primarily at whether the book is translated from the original language and whether it is a contemporary translation. A good example are Andersen's fairy tales, which a few years ago Bogusława Sochański translated for the first time into Polish from Danish. Earlier translations were made by German, so many aspects of the text disappeared. Older translation is not always bad, but the language will be more archaic, which will make it difficult for younger readers. The first reading should also familiarize with a new vocabulary, but let's not reach immediately until the 19th century. The next tip may be known and valued names of translators, which guarantee high quality of translation. 

Which book to choose for a five -year -old?

A five -year -old child often knows the letters, but rather does not read himself yet. This is often the last moment when an adult reads a child and has a chance to raise a bit more difficult topics with which children should no longer be left alone. This is often emphasized by the best -selling children's writer Martin Widmark. Younger children have a chance to feel safe and immediately ask what is bothering them if they are sitting in a guardian. It is also worth talking about feelings so that children learn to recognize and cope better with emerging emotions. The time has just come for important conversations about feelings. 

We especially recommend:

• Two sisters: What do feelings do? This is a story that specifies feelings by turning them into large fluffy creatures. It is easier to imagine what such feelings are doing. This is a book that supports the child's emotional development.
• Strange animals Lotta Olsson with illustrations of Maria Nilsson Thore – These are just interesting and fun stories about otherness on the example of the animal world. Funny and teaching openness. Based on this book, even a spectacle for children was created, and a small peanut will definitely appeal to children.
• Numerical Ewa Kozyry-Pawlak-rhyme, beautiful and originally illustrated short story about taking in dogs. He will show concern for homeless animals, teach and help you read, because there is not much text - just right for beginner readers with adult support. In addition to feelings, small readers are ready for larger portions of knowledge and discovering the world. Books more and more saturated with facts are slowly beginning to check. It is worth using this stage of child development and not satisfied with incomplete, or (oh, horror!) Incorrect. It is during this period that you can start to be extremely interested in constructing space rockets, genetics, botany and foreign languages. It is a pity not to use this moment, because more than once children remember curiosities and unique information for many years.

• Our bookstore: Facts and rumors about space pirates - not quite seriously, but how it stimulates the imagination.
• The "Little Great" series - an inspiring, showing the multitude of life choices and fate, and at the same time beautifully illustrated. It will interest children and adults! We meet Astrid Lindgren, Martin Luther King, Maria Skłodowska-Curie, Steva Jobs and many others as young children. This can be the beginning of a fascinating road! Look here.
• Staying in the atmosphere of famous scholars and successful people, we offer collective work entitled The power of numbers Kropka Publishing House. A fascinating journey through mathematical discoveries can inspire to your own. It will also help in the meaning of mathematics.
• Clinic K: Zbigniew's green feather. Socks counterattack - an incredibly funny and award -winning position for reading together. Great fun guaranteed.
• Stories for boys who want to be special -The position that arose in the counter-tap for "Tales for little Rebels" about unusual men, such as the Dalai Lama, Ernö Rubiki, Socrates, author of "Little Prince" Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Banks, Ed Sheeran and many others. Reading not only for boys!

Which book to choose for a six -year -old?

At the age of six, children begin to read simple lyrics with capital letters. Such books usually have a very large text and a lot of light on each page.

With the help of adults, six -year -olds can, of course, go into more and more complicated books and learn more. Let's not forget about play and entertainment. At this age, children continue to learn mainly through play and Each reading is important. Every contact with the literary language supports further speech development, expands their vocabulary, makes it easier to deal with school and cares about our relationship with a child, if we read aloud him or talk about the book read. 

Let's not go crazy and do not burden the kids with too much pressure on knowledge or results or grades at school. During this period, it is important to shape self -esteem, skills of cooperation and faith in your own strength. Competition and pursuit of something result in opposite effects and inhibit psychosocial development. Therefore, not only popular science literature for children, but also stories and novels for younger and comics. Comic book This is the perfect form for beginner readers (and not only!).

We especially recommend:

• Tadeusz Baranowski's comic book is an extremely appreciated series for children from six years. We recommend, for example, Tom Mezzanine Professor Nervosolka publishing house Oggrys - an interesting and funny proposition for reading six -year -olds, eight -year -olds.

Few people know that the Nobel Prize winner wrote this novel in order as a textbook for children from the first grade of Swedish school. In this way, children learned all regions of Sweden along with their nature and traditions. The translation is also Teresa Chłapowska, who translated Moomin.

What to look for when buying books for seven -year -olds?

Seven -year -old children can focus attention longer and are used to reading. At this point, it is worth introducing books divided into chapters. At the beginning, items with short -page chapters. It is easier to motivate to read one day, e.g. before bedtime. In this way, we help the child build their own habit of reading and the evening ritual. From this only a step to give a young avid reader or reader of his own flashlight so that you can at night read under the covers, or in the tent. Who among us does not remember these moments, when with baking on the face read the exciting adventures of "Tomek on the tracks of Yeti" or the skirmishes of Harry Potter and Hermione. This stage is just right.

But to provide young adepts with good bases and a good pace and the liquidity of reading it is worth reading aloud. You can save a few evenings a week and read; Once a child, once an adult. It is worth discussing new words and phenomena and what is described between the lines. The ability to read between lines and at a good pace are crucial in becoming a good reader. A good reader is able to easily get through a lot of pages of the text. It is also the foundation of success at further stages of education. With this in the perspective, we start calmly and with pleasure, because fun is the most important!
