<![CDATA[All About Grooming &amp; Encouraging Good Reading Habits]]>Title: Books for 3-6 years old


Any good books for recommendation according to agegroups?
I’m currently interested in 2 yr olds and 6 yr olds category.
Plus…anybody have any idea what are the term for the following 2 types of books?
1. Books where there are different adventures depending on which choice you choose in which scenerio…eg Go to Pg 3 if you turn left, Go to Pg 5 if you turn right… this type of books.
2. Books where there is a ‘magnifying glass’ made of a colour translucent sheet. you placed over the book to look for hidden objects.

TIA.

These usually have more interesting storyline then readers.

Hi slmkhoo,

She is 7 years. Most of the time she ask me to choose the book. If I get a level2 reading book she says to easy to read and she struggles to read in that easy book also.I get fiction books. She always compare with the books I get for myself, your book is so big why can’t I read books like that. If I read she will listen, if same book I ask her to read, she will read with mistakes and if i try to correct her. She gets angry and don’t want to read it at all. How to solve it
I think you need to separate reading for fun and reading as a \"lesson\". Read to her more, and let her just follow along. In fact, you can read to her from books that are a bit more difficult to read so she can just listen and enjoy the story - that will improve her sense of the language and will help her in her own reading in future. Over time, she will also recognise the words and patterns better. Then for short periods every day, get her to read the simple books for practice.

Also, how are is she being taught to read? Phonics or word recognition? Both methods are necessary, but some kids take better to one method over the other, and so the teaching needs to be adjusted too.

Hi all,

Any suggestions how to make my Daughter study a English book. She reads 5 mins and done.if force her she says it is bored. Need help :frustrated:
How old is she? Do you mean \"read\" or \"study\"? Who chooses the book, and is it fiction or non-fiction? Perhaps she finds the book too difficult or too easy? Or she needs someone to read to and with her to help her get into the habit of reading?

It is essential to cultivate an interest in all your kids before encouraging them to memorise some good phrases and paragraphs.


To kickstart their interest, you can pick a few interesting books from the National library and tell them which sentence(s) is/are beautifully written. In that way, you also teach your child how to appreciate a piece of article / a storybook.


Because learning shouldn't be expensive and all children deserve the best!


National library is a good place as children get bored with old books very soon.

We hope it helps!


Cheers!

My DD enjoys reading it and i feel may help in her compo in some way. Random proverbs will come out of her mouth sometimes so i guess shes absorbing the content. 😄

Can anyone share or feedback whether it is suitable for 9 or 10 years old reading candy series gempak starz? Books title like : Healthy Pretty Girls : Diet, Top of The Class : Academics etc. It is mostly in comics forms and not sure whether it safe to read. Hope to hear some feedbacks. Thank you.

Neve heard of them, but why don't you get one and read some of it? You should have a reasonable idea after that. I used to do that when my kids were younger.

Hi Serendipity,


Have you tried Enid Blyton books?
I think Horrid Henry is also suitable if you are not opposed to the contents.
Oops... I must've missed this post!
I loved Enid Blyton as a child but my DD doesn't seem to take to it as I did. Likewise Roald Dahl. Will prob still try to introduce Enid Blyton again soon, haha...
Recently found The Forbidden Library for her to read and she seems to enjoy it!
