Stories for the little ones: how to choose books with stories for the little ones, what to look for when reading, how to teach them to understand books without pictures. Texts of stories for reading to children 1-2 years old.
The selection of children's books in stores is now huge! And books - toys, and books - cut-outs in the shape of various animals, cars, nesting dolls, toys, textile books for the development of fine motor skills, books - lacing, floating waterproof books for swimming, talking books, music books, huge thick collections of poems and fairy tales for the little ones. And it’s wonderful that from the very first years of life a child has the opportunity to get acquainted with beautiful and interesting children’s books in all their diversity.
But today we’ll talk about other books - traditional story books for kids . They are less popular than books with fairy tales or poems, but young children really need them! It is in stories that a child becomes more familiar with the world around him, with the lives of people.
How to choose story books for little ones?
First. For reading to the little ones, thin books with pictures are more suitable than thick collections of fairy tales or short stories. One book is one story in pictures, or several short stories.
Second. Pictures in a book for children 1-2 years old should be realistic. That is, the illustrations in the book should not contain blue cows or hares with short ears and long tails. From the picture, the baby should get an accurate idea of the world around him; children of this age do not yet understand humor! Illustrations are needed to clarify ideas about the world, and not to confuse the child. Naturally, realism does not exclude decorative details - let us remember, for example, illustrations for fairy tales by the famous artist Yu. Vasnetsov.
The perspective in which the hero of the story is depicted is very important - all the heroes of the story should be easily recognizable by the child in the pictures.
Third. At the early stage of understanding literature, a drawing represents for a child the very life around him, which cannot be replaced by a word. Therefore, it is necessary that the child can use the pictures to follow step by step what they are telling him about (remember the story “Chicken” by K.I. Chukovsky).
For the youngest children, a picture book is alive! They feed the drawn horse, pet the cat, talk to the pictures, and can even wait for “the bird to fly away” from the picture.
Fourth. It is very important that the baby’s first books are beautiful. It is at an early age that children develop an understanding of beauty. They like beautiful clothes, a beautifully decorated room, beautiful flowers or beautiful pictures. And they clearly prefer beautiful objects and books.

How to read stories to little ones: 4 simple rules
First. Stories can and should not only be read from a book, but also told! And this is very important! What is the benefit of storytelling? The fact is that in the case of storytelling, your word is a “living word”!
When you tell a child a simple story, a fairy tale or a short story, you look into his eyes, you can pause if necessary, slow down the pace of speech, introduce a new intonation. You see the baby’s reaction to the story and can take it into account. In addition, the child sees your face, emotions, and the process of your speech.
Therefore, it is better to first get acquainted with the story , and then read it to the baby. If you are “attached” to the text and bury yourself in it while reading, then the baby will quickly become distracted and lose interest.
Reading a story is our dialogue with a child about the book, but not a monologue of an adult buried in the text.
It’s wonderful when you know your favorite stories by heart and tell them simply from the heart at the right moment - without a book.
I have a system of cards with short stories and poems - they are always with me. And at the right time you can always use them if you need to remember something.
Second. If you bring home a new book, you don’t need to start reading it right away. First, give the book to your baby - let him get to know it, examine it, leaf through the pages, look at the pictures and play with them - feed the horse, share his impressions with you (this can be just exclamations, pointing gestures, intonations, if the baby does not speak yet ).
After the first acquaintance with the book, look at the pictures with your child, tell the child what is drawn on them. In this case, it is better to quote words from the text of the story, which the child will later hear when reading it. For example: “Masha has a sled. Misha has a sled. Tolya has a sled. Galya has a sled. One dad without a sled” (based on the story by Ya. Taits). Pay attention to interesting or unusual details in the illustrations (the clothes of the characters, objects in their hands, what is around them), examine them and name them.
After the first acquaintance with the book, you can read the story to your baby. If you start reading a new book right away, then the children will not listen - they reach for the book, want to pick it up, want to turn the pages, stroke the cover, and begin to get distracted.
Third. At the age of 1 year 6 months to 2 years, it is very important to teach the child to perceive a story without visual support (i.e., without a picture or dramatization of the content of the story). Otherwise, the baby may develop a not very useful habit. This is the habit of waiting for toys to be shown and saying words only under this condition. If you do not teach your child to listen to speech before the age of 2, then in the future the child will have difficulty engaging in dialogue, constantly demands pictures, does not answer questions, does not perceive audio recordings or reading books without pictures, and has difficulty perceiving speech by ear without visual support. You will find examples of stories to read to children without visual support below.
What stories can children understand without pictures?
- Up to 2 years old , children understand adults’ stories about events that are happening at a given moment in time or are very familiar to them.
- After 2 years, children begin to understand, without showing pictures, the stories of adults about events that are familiar to them from past experience.
- And from the age of 2 years 6 months, children begin to understand, without showing pictures, adults’ stories about events that did not happen in their lives, but they are familiar with similar phenomena or with individual elements of the story’s plot. Also, from 2 years 6 months, a child can convey the content of a familiar fairy tale or story based on questions (that is, he can answer an adult’s questions about the content of the story).
Fourth. What to do first - watch a cartoon based on the story or read the text of the story? First, we introduce the child to the book - look at the illustrations, read the story. This is the base. And later you can watch a cartoon based on a familiar story book. In a cartoon, most often the child does not perceive the text, because... captivated by flashing pictures.
Reading the story I am a Thai train
There are many good short stories in Russian literature for children that are suitable for reading to preschoolers of all ages.
This is also good reading practice for kids learning to read. It is still difficult for them to read large books. But short stories created specifically for such circumstances are quite suitable. An example is short stories for children by the Soviet writer Yakov Taits. He not only wrote books, but also, being an artist, illustrated them himself.
Thai's short stories are written in a language that modern children can understand. This is important given the current state of oral speech.
