Interesting fairy tales for a 3 year old child

Today, there are fewer and fewer parents who read fairy tales to their children before bed. Most of us prefer to turn on a cartoon for our child and calmly go about our business. What about intellectual and spiritual communication? Psychologists say that fairy tales that parents read to their children before bed not only develop the child’s imagination, broaden his horizons, but also enrich him spiritually. Among other things, the evening ritual of reading fairy tales brings parents and children closer, allowing them to fully communicate.

In the whirlwind of the day, modern parents are constantly running out of time. There is no time to answer the question asked by the child in detail and clearly. There is no time to listen to the baby, to share his worries and experiences. There is no time to talk heart to heart. Evening reading of fairy tales is a great opportunity to be alone with your child and fully focus on his worldview. A fairy tale is an ideal assistant in developing high moral ideals in a child. Fairy tales are not just simple stories; they are universal, educational programs that help our children get comfortable in this world. It’s not for nothing that there is a direction in psychology called “fairy tale therapy.”

Simply reading fairy tales before bed can help your child get rid of obsessive fears, find solutions to childhood problems, and prepare for a difficult adult life. Reading bedtime stories allows parents to get to know their child better. Even the most naughty child is ready to perceive any information in a “magic wrapper.” A fairy tale is the most effective method of correcting a child’s behavior. Reading together helps to establish emotional contact between parent and child. According to scientists, children, after reading a fairy tale, fall asleep faster and sleep peacefully. Their psyche is more stable, their emotional intelligence is higher, and their memory is better.

At the beginning of the article, we wanted to remind parents of the invaluable benefits of fairy tales. We hope we succeeded. In this article we would like to bring to the attention of parents a list of literature for children two and three years old. We understand that not every fairy tale on our list may appeal to you and your child. Therefore, of course, the choice remains with the parents. They are the ones who will decide what works to read to their baby before bedtime. And, of course, we have compiled a separate list of Russian folk tales.

Fairy tales for a 3 year old child. What to read?

So, more details. First of all, remember that fairy tales for a 3-year-old child will affect his psyche. He will unconsciously identify himself with the main character, empathize with him, cry with him and laugh. If this does not happen, it means that this work “passed by” the crumbs, leaving no trace in his soul. Therefore, when choosing a book, look at the characteristics of the characters, what they strive for, and how they behave with others. Well, and, of course, how talented and interesting the author portrayed them.

Spoken speech perception

Fairy tales for a 3-year-old child are naturally read aloud by parents. The baby begins to delve into human speech until the moment when it learns to speak independently. It is not difficult for him to understand the conversations of adults included in the perceived situation.

Well, oral history is something more complex. In such a situation, there is absolutely nothing that is present in the conversation. That is, the baby must be taught to perceive stories. Pictures help a lot with this. Although they are needed only at an early age.

Up to 3 years

Therefore, it is worth paying attention to certain age levels. For example, when reading bedtime stories for children 3 years old, choose such famous works as “Teremok”, “Turnip”, “Ryaba Hen” or “Kolobok”. In principle, a baby can be introduced to them starting from the age of 1.5-2 years. Various folk nursery rhymes, poems by Agnia Barto for the little ones, “Chicken” by Chukovsky, “Chicken and Duckling” by Suteev are also perfect for your child at this age. These works are written in very simple phrases. They contain many rhymes and repetitions. In general, a small vocabulary is enough to understand them.

Picture books

It is best, of course, to choose short fairy tales for children 3 years old with illustrations. Children enjoy listening to short works over and over again. Knowing a certain fairy tale well, the baby will tell it on his own with great pleasure. Relying on your help and using pictures.

By the way, it is best not to read fairy tales, but to tell them while looking at the illustrations with the kids. Relying on them always helps to perceive the text. Don’t forget to show your child the characters depicted.

What stories should not be read to your child before bed - tips

Of course, your child should not read “scary” fairy tales before going to bed. The child's psyche is too mobile. And the imagination is so rich that kids can see with their own eyes the immortal Koshchei, the evil witch or Baba Yaga.

The dreams of young children depend largely on the information they receive before falling asleep. Therefore, the plots of fairy tales should be good and, of course, end well. Fairy tales should lull a child to sleep, so they need to be read in a quiet, calm voice.

Fairy tales for our little children are a kind of “encyclopedia” of life, through which they learn different models of behavior and begin to understand “what is good?” and “what is bad?” And the older a child becomes, the more knowledge he draws from books, the wider his vocabulary becomes. He learns new words, compares the behavior and actions of fairy-tale characters, learns to think and reason. No wonder A.S. Pushkin said that reading is the best teaching!

Filmstrips

Instructive fairy tales for 3-year-old children, by the way, do not necessarily need to be read from books. Try to find an overhead projector and filmstrips with these stories. They are perceived much better than cartoons. And they make your eyes less tired. Filmstrips do not replace text with action. They simply help to understand it better.

Another serious point. It is important for a child that the fairy tale has a good ending. This will give him a feeling of security in the world. A bad ending, even if realistic, can contribute to the emergence of some fears. Perhaps the endings should even be changed. Let Kolobok manage to outwit the evil Fox at the last moment and run away. Or after the mansion falls apart, the animals will build a better house.

Talk and read with your child as much as possible. In this case, by the age of 3, you can choose more complex fairy tales. If you do not have the opportunity to communicate a lot with your child, he will have to “grow up” to more serious works. In any case, try to ensure that your child learns to perceive the stories told by ear.

From 3 to 7

So, the baby has grown a little. Now you can add to his favorite works poetic Russian fairy tales for children 3 years old: Chukovsky (“Fedorino’s grief”, “Aibolit”, “Telephone”, “Moidodyr”), Suteev’s books (“Apple”, “Under the mushroom”, “Wand” -lifesaver”), Marshak’s poetry (“He’s so absent-minded”, “Mustache-striped”, “Where did you have dinner, sparrow?”), and his translations from English (“Boat”, “Gloves”, “Visiting the Queen” , "Humpty-Baltay"). Don't forget about folk art too. Children really like fairy tales about animals: “Zayushkina’s Hut”, “Tails”, “Cat and Fox”, “Fox with a Jump Rope”.

These works are more authentic. They consist of several episodes related to each other in meaning. The characters' relationships are already becoming more complex, as is their dialogue. To understand, a child will need a considerable vocabulary. Just don’t forget that some of Chukovsky’s fairy tales may be too scary for children. It may be worth waiting to read them until at least 5-6 years of age.

A good ending is still an important element. As well as the absence of any terrible events (even with a “happy ending”). Little Red Riding Hood may also frighten children. Children may not like such fairy tales, and this is at best. At worst, they may develop various nightmares and fears. Choose better stories. For example, Gribachev’s tales about the hare Koska and his friends, Astrid Lindgren’s stories, Nosov’s works, etc.

Getting used to reading

And finally. Short educational fairy tales for children 3 years old contribute to the harmonious development of children. Initially, they willingly listen to them. Later they will read on their own. It’s so nice to relive again and again the various situations into which your favorite characters find themselves from time to time. By the way, give your child the opportunity to personally add new books to his favorite collection. Your task is only to help him make the right choice, to dwell on good and kind fairy tales.

Draw your child’s attention to the fairy tales that you read to him at 3 years old and at an older age. For example, at 5-7 years old, when the baby begins to read independently. Simple and short fairy tales with numerous bright pictures that help overcome the difficulties of independent reading will be remembered by the baby, giving him great pleasure. By the way, it is also best to learn to retell using simple texts. That is why the above fairy tales are often included in reading textbooks for elementary schools and anthologies.

Don’t forget that if a child spends too much time in front of the TV and listens to few fairy tales, it will be much more difficult for him to perceive these stories at an older age (unless, of course, you don’t take into account the cartoons based on them). In a word, read to your child from a very early age. Fairy tales will contribute to his development, help him increase his vocabulary, and teach him goodness and justice. In addition, the baby will spend his free time with interest. After all, he doesn’t need much to be happy!

List of books to read for 2-3 year olds – The best books for children 2-3 years old

At 2-3 years old, a child already perceives books not just as interesting objects, he begins to gradually understand the meaning of the stories described, understand the plot, and express his opinion about what he heard and saw. It's time to start more serious and meaningful reading!

How to read?

Turn reading into a ritual enjoyable for your baby. For example, do this before bed, after breakfast, or before a nap. The setting plays a big role - beautiful pillows, a soft blanket, favorite toys, a beautiful lamp create a feeling of comfort, safety, tranquility and enhance the pleasant reading experience.
Read the same work many times if the child requests it. Such a request suggests that it was this book that found a response in the child’s soul. Use repeated reading to develop imagination and creative thinking - ask your child to continue a sentence or come up with his own ending to a familiar fairy tale.
Don’t be afraid to take on texts with words that you think are unfamiliar to your child. Children understand the meaning of many words in fairy tales and poems intuitively, from the context. The more new words appear in the text, the more intensively the child’s vocabulary will expand.

Fairy tales by Russian authors
At 2-3 years old it is still too early to read fairy tales about magic, princes and princesses, fairy-tale creatures and unknown lands to children. The best choice for children of this age are fairy tales in verse and short classic fairy tales with a linear plot and simple characters - people or animals. In addition to the classics of children's literature and European storytellers, whose works have been retold to children for hundreds of years, it is also worth paying attention to the fairy tales of foreign children's authors of the 20th century, translated into dozens of languages. High-quality modern editions of foreign books help out parents who are asking the question “What else should I read?” when Russian children’s classics have already been read to the gills, and instill in children a good taste and interest in reading.
