The question of what to read is always pressing for parents. Reading the same fairy tales repeatedly is strange, and it’s unclear what new to include in the "brain diet."
We have prepared a list of literature perfect for children aged 3 to 5. Dive into new stories, learn valuable lessons, and spend quality time with your child.
How to Read?
A child can now easily perceive text read in a normal parental voice.
For better comprehension, it makes sense to read books multiple times—this helps you remember details more easily.
Read by chapters if they are short; otherwise, break the text into meaningful segments yourself.
If your child’s questions stump you, look for answers together in paper encyclopedias and reference books.
