FAQ For Children’s Books From 6 Years
Which children’s books for ages 6 and up?
Other books are usually more suitable for reading aloud than for reading by oneself. Children aged 6 can already understand more complex plots, but should not be overburdened in their reading process. Fun and a sense of achievement should characterize the reading process. Longer texts are therefore suitable for reading aloud. If the child is reading on his or her own, books that are explicitly intended for beginning readers are recommended. Alternatively, you can choose other age-appropriate stories and read them together with the child.
Which children’s books for reading beginners?
The first reading experiences should not be too demanding, so as not to spoil the fun of reading for the future. There are some children’s books for children from the age of 6 that are explicitly designed for the first attempts at reading and the associated practice process. For example, there is a first reader series from the well-known „Was-ist-was“ books with not too much text, easily readable writing and lots of exciting content.
Which children’s books for ages 6 and up are particularly popular?
Popular classics for children aged 6 and older include „Jim Knopf“ or „The Children from Bullerbü.“ But works such as „The Ice Queen“ or „The Three ??? Kids“ are also read (aloud) with pleasure.
