Ecology of knowledge. Children: I am in 6th grade. We have 30 people in our class, 25 of whom do not read. And in many ways this is the fault of adults. From personal experience I know that parents give their children (my age) “The Three Musketeers,” books about Indians, Jules Verne, and many other books that they remember from childhood. And they are indignant that children are not interested in this.

I'm in the 6th grade. We have 30 people in our class, 25 of whom do not read. And in many ways this is the fault of adults. From personal experience, I know that parents give their children (my age) “The Three Musketeers,” books about Indians, Jules Verne, and many other books that they remember from childhood.And they are indignant that children are not interested in this.

But these books are unlikely to interest teenagers. Sorry, but they are boring. They can be quite easily put off until tomorrow or for a week, and it doesn’t really matter what happens next. And some are simply given a certain number of pages per day, and the child quickly tries to get rid of them in order to sit down at the computer or watch the TV.

Parents are also sure that modern books all are superficial, disposable and almost embarrassing to read. Actually they are wrong. Behind last years a lot of books have appeared that are much more fascinating and at the same time just as valuable from a literary point of view as those that parents remember from their childhood. And such books are published that have been known and loved in the world for many years, but they have only appeared here now.

I will not become clever and recommend modern books that have received awards from critics and librarians. I want to recommend books that I vouch for. Which tighten and do not let go until last page. I specifically did not include science fiction in my list, because a person will come to this genre on his own, but starting with science fiction, he can become fixated on it, and nothing else will be interesting to him.

So, a list of books that have a better chance of becoming interesting to a person aged 10-12 than those recommended by a parent or (unfortunately) the district librarian.

Anders Jakobsson, Søren Ohlsson "Bert's Diary"
The book funny tells about eleven-year-old Bert, who describes his problems and experiences in his diary.

David Amond "Skellig"
Skellig is a charismatic, tired angel. Michael is a teenager who moves with his parents and newborn sister to new house. Mina is his new, unusual friend. Their stories intertwine and they save each other.

Pennak "Like a novel"
It contains the whole truth about why teenagers don’t read.

P.S. I know that I should advise reading classic, time-tested books, but these tips will not help anyone. To enjoy Dubrovsky, you must love to read, and in order to love reading, you must start with fascinating books that you won’t be able to tear yourself away from the computer or TV. Then, when a person gets into reading, he will become interested in deeper literature. And it is very difficult to interest 10-12 year olds, so I chose those books that can help with this. published

Good afternoon, dear readers! Today I suggest choosing books for children aged 9-10 years. It seems like they are still children, but with their own unusual reasoning, thoughts, and desires.

What should they find for themselves in readable literature? What are they interested in? What is the classification of book products? Let's do this: first I will tell you what I managed to find, and then you will recommend something of your own. Agreed? Then let's get started!

Vanity and impatience are the main characteristics of a nine-year-old child. What qualities does your child have at this age? But boys and girls have their own characteristics. The male sex tends to be distracted; they do not catch the information being said. You can't call them particularly attentive. In short, they grasp what interests them and what they are good at. The rest of the information is more difficult.

Therefore, as for printed publications, you need to choose exclusively together. The student must also participate directly in this by choosing a topic. Look for a compromise: let him first read what interests him, and then what he needs. You can’t put pressure, you’ll discourage all desire.

For girls: it's a little easier here. They are more diligent and attentive. There is basically no need to force them to read. Although the themes also need to be selected to suit the characteristics of the little princess. How are you doing with this?

Of course, I described the general standards. After all, it happens when the fair half of humanity is actively interested in sports topics. They have more gentlemen as friends than girls. What should I do? Dear parents, probably the main rule that must be followed from the birth of the baby is to find a compromise. This also applies to very adult children, who have already spent more than a dozen years!

Classification

Since both princes and princesses may be interested in completely different topics, I recommend general classification. I repeat, it all depends on the characteristics of the child: wow, 9 years old, this is already a personality!

1. Fairy tales. They still remain, don’t be surprised. They just take a slightly different turn than before. They have a lot of instructive moments and meaning.
2. Stories and novellas. They are closer to the truth, there are also sad ones that you need to think about. And there are funny ones: well, distraction is also useful!
3. Cognitive.
4. Poetry.
5. Adventure.

Fairy tales

How would you characterize, for example, the fairy tale “ The Snow Queen"? Surely we have already drawn an analogy with publications for more early age. The text has lengthened, yes. And what else? Certainly! The plot has become more twisted, a greater role is given to human relationships. While reading, the child begins to empathize with the characters, imagining himself in their place. Here are some editions:

• "Black chicken or Underground inhabitants» Pogorelsky A.
• "Bambi" Felix Salten. In my opinion, very good story about the fawn. One of the popular Disney characters.
• "Peter Pan" James Barry.
• "The Canterville Ghost" Oscar Wilde.
• "Urfin Juice" A. Volkov.

Stories and novellas

The concept of honor and courage will be given by reading the correct story. What books should I read from this genre? I found the most popular ones. See for yourself:

• "All about... Stories about animals" Seton-Thompson E.
• "Tales of War" collection. Works of famous authors: Kassil L., Oseeva V. and others. Quite a suitable piece for 9-10 year olds.
• “About Babaka Kostochkina” Nikolskaya A. One of those stories that you read in one breath! A sea of ​​laughter and kindness! This is a must have in your arsenal for growing children.
• "Knight on Skates" Usacheva E. Miracles by New Year! Do you believe in them? It seems to me that adults have lost this gift because they no longer pay attention to such writings. And it’s perfect for kids! Don't deprive them of their faith in miracles.
• “When I grow up, I will become a hockey player” Mikhail Sanadze. It’s precisely at the age of 9 that boys begin to become actively interested in different types sports This work talks about hockey. How great it will be to introduce your child to useful things through artistic characters!

I think each essay is worthy of a place on the bookshelf of a fastidious student. And any of these can be given as a gift. How do you think? Oh! By the way, about gifts: the very best the best option― a series of educational books based on real events. However, not only in real ones... Agree, a child should recognize this world in all its colors! How many unknown animals and plants live in it! Yes millions! Let me better specific examples I'll tell you.

Cognitive

• "The Way of the Little Kangaroo" Gerald Durrell. On the one hand, a story, on the other, educational stories based on real cases! The author's travels to Australia, New Zealand and Malaya, this is where he meets many interesting animals! The writer has a lot of similar publications. Be sure to read it with your little ones!
• "Guinness Book of Records". By the age of 9 - 10, children have an excellent memory, and they remember unusual things very well. For general development It's time to introduce them to unusual records known to the whole world!
• “I'm exploring the world. State" Eidelman T.
• "On Guard of Rus'" Tikhomirov O. A wonderful publication about the attempts of foreign invaders to enslave us.
• “Come back to us, Maclay!” Oleg Orlov. Yes, yes, the same Miklouho-Maclay, the people's favorite and traveler! Unusual illustrations will give you the opportunity to imagine and develop an interest in reading.
• "Illustrated atlas. Dinosaurs".

By the way, I remember now: in our childhood there was no Internet, but there were books and crosswords! Remember spending time with your parents doing this exciting activity? By the way, it’s also educational. Moreover, writing develops and brings the family together!

Poetry

Perhaps the child will not be interested in poems for independent reading. But it is still necessary to convince people to learn at least a couple of lines. Moreover, at school this will have to be done in mandatory. I would like to recommend the following collections:

• "Poetry" Pushkin A.S.
• "Poetry" Yesenin Sergey.
• "Funny lines" Gurkova I.V.

Adventure and fantasy

Kids also like it, regardless of gender. Well, that’s how kids are designed, that they get used to the roles of characters. Of course, the book is different from the book, it may be that there is nothing good in it except the title. As always, the filling is important. You agree with me? So try to read for yourself first what the story is about. If it’s not completely possible, at least find it on the Internet. summary. Well, let's get down to the list itself:

• "Time is always good" Andrey Zhvalevsky. How many works have been devoted to time travel! And this is one of the best, dedicated to children. Schoolchildren will be able to compare which time is better: where they play in the yard or where computer games thrive?
• "Treasure Island" Robert Louis Stevenson.
• "The Big Book of Dunno" Nikolay Nosov. Remember these funny little people? Adventure, fantasy, and fairy tales are intertwined here. Colorful stories will delight kids!
• "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen" Rudolf Raspe. Adventure and unprecedented stories of the most truthful person on the planet!
• "The Hobbit or There and Back Again" Tolkien John Ronald Rouen. Fantastic story, a backstory about that very Lord of the Rings.
• "Adventures of Tom Sawyer" Mark Twain.
• "The Mystery of the Pram" Victor Dragunsky.

As you can see, I indicated more serious works, and those that can not only captivate, but also make a child laugh. The choice is your child!

Tell us, what stories does your student like? Perhaps he has already read something from my list? Share your tips and comments! And I invite you to subscribe to blog updates. Stay up to date with interesting things! All the best!

How to help a ten-year-old child choose a good book? The editors suggest what to look for when choosing literature for this age, and which authors your child will enjoy passing the time with.

This article is intended for persons over 18 years of age

Have you already turned 18?

A child’s self-development determines the quality of his education. Except modern technologies that occupy the attention of schoolchildren, more time should be devoted to reading. To choose books for 10-year-old children, you should focus on interests and curriculum. If there are many for teenagers 14+ interesting literature on different topics, then children under 10 years of age often remain unattended. But this is exactly the age when a love of reading and cognitive interest is formed! We'll tell you how to help your child choose several good books, and which authors you can focus on.

How to choose interesting books for 10 year olds?

A child aged 9-10 years is in active development, which requires attention to the education and interests of children on the part of parents. School education- this is far from everything you need to satisfy your curiosity. Self-development is a mandatory component of education. You can fill your needs by reading, which is much more useful than spending time at the computer and modern gadgets.

The vast selection of children's literature in the world can confuse even an adult. You will have to decide which books to read first. Each age threshold requires appropriate content to arouse interest: the most exciting will be the one that matches the baby’s preferences.

When choosing books for children 10 years old, parents should consider the following criteria:

• gender of the child. Preferences in literature directly depend on this factor, but try not to impose your worldview: if a girl likes adventure literature, and a boy wants to read about saving princesses from a tower, there is nothing strange in that — children experience the world from different angles;
• interests. Take into account children's hobbies, hobbies, and what animals the child likes. You can focus on your favorite films;
• illustration. The more interesting the picture on the cover, the more attention she attracts. Also look at the interior design: text with images will be more attractive. But two factors need to be taken into account: the pictures should not distract from reading (that is, they should not take up most of the page) and should at least approximately correspond to the text so that the child can explain what is depicted there and connect it with what was read;
• volume. It all depends on the love of reading. If it is not a favorite hobby, you should not overload your child with huge volumes.

The most interesting books in most cases are those that you consider classics. As surprising as it may sound, many of the things that were interesting to you as a child are also relevant to your children. Modern literature also shouldn’t be discounted - much of what modern authors write is very fascinating.

One of the common problems is the child’s reluctance to sit and read. Then adults face a new problem: determining which book to captivate their child with. Parents need to take into account the specified criteria and submit their own good example. In the initial stages, you can read one of the best books for you in the presence of children.

List of books for children 10 years old

Modern parents try to pay attention to those works that are popular among younger schoolchildren. Therefore, many people look for book lists to select works from it. Many of them were created by teachers, which allows you to focus on curriculum. A good book rating is that there are no restrictions on writing time. Many copies can be useful and interesting, even if they were written in previous centuries. Therefore, each top should be critically evaluated.

There are books that are literally timeless. A favorite children's classic brings back memories from childhood. How to choose the right piece? We recommend using collections from the series “Fairy Tales in Large Letters” and “My Mother’s Favorite Books”:

• . Famous fairy tales about the golden fish, the golden cockerel, Tsar Saltan and other stories familiar from childhood will definitely appeal to the little explorer of the world.
• . Who doesn’t know Moidodyr and Aibolit? Who didn’t have their blood run cold during the abduction of Mukha-Tsokotukha and the fight with Barmaley? An eternal classic, where good always triumphs over evil.
• . The only thing more instructive than any of Krylov’s fables can be a collection of Krylov’s fables. A 10-year-old child may not fully feel the author’s humor and irony, but the instructive story will definitely be beneficial.
• . Mayakovsky's poems for children are not so much poetic as they are useful. For lovers of unusual poetry, clear rhythm and precise instructions.

10 years - This is a transitional age when a child is preparing to grow up, but does not yet fully understand what it means to be a teenager. To help him navigate life and the world around him, give interesting encyclopedia Elena Ulyeva, who will become his guide on the path to understanding himself:

• . The simplest and most understandable encyclopedia on etiquette, which in a playful way will tell a child how to do the right thing and what good deeds will help him become a welcome guest in every home;
• . Try to explain economic theory 10 year old! Not even all adults can cope with this. Transparent fairy tales and interesting puzzles will put the child on the path to understanding the value of things.
• . How should you behave so that you never stand in the corner again? Why is begging for purchases bad? Rules of conduct are important not only when visiting, but also in the family. The book will help you deal with related responsibilities.
• . How to tell your child about animals he has never seen? Go with him to the zoo or travel around the world with the little sparrow - the hero of this book.
• . The most useful book about the human body, which needs to be studied inside and out before the age of 10.

Modern literature for children is largely different from the books their parents or grandparents read. Many of them nowadays prefer to watch the TV on, but cartoons and anime will never replace books for children 9-10 years old. The list of literature that develops children's consciousness and curiosity is simply huge. It includes works by Russians, Soviets and whose plots give children the opportunity to dream and create.

Soviet children's literature: Valentina Oseeva and Alexander Volkov

Before that, he tried himself in different fields: he was a sailor, traveled a lot and wrote down stories of experienced sea “wolves”. These notes later formed the basis of his humorous story “The Adventures of Captain Vrungel.”

This incredibly funny book was loved not only by Soviet children; today's elementary school students read it with pleasure. It tells about the participation of Captain Vrungel, his student sailor Lom and the sharper from Calais Fuchs in the international regatta on the yacht “Trouble”. The numerous obstacles that the main characters had to go through and which they overcame with flying colors are described with such a sense of humor that even adults love to re-read this work.

Similar books for children 9-10 years old (the list contains many creations by authors different countries) teach that any adversity can be overcome if you do not lose your presence of mind.

Writers of England: Lewis Carroll and P. L. Travers

Great Britain gave the world a large number of children's writers, whose works are read not only by children, but also by their parents. For example, Lewis Carroll, professor of mathematics at Oxford University, who wrote books such as Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass.

Published in 1865, this is a fairy tale about a girl who falls through a rabbit hole into unusual world, in which strange creatures live, enjoys constant love among children and adults. This work, written in the absurd genre, influenced the development of children's literature in the fantasy style.
