The Wonderful World Of Books
Remember those big, colorful books with large pictures of balls or apples when you were a little kid? Those have proven to be helpful, according to a number of studies. Between 1 and 5 years old, introducing books to children can aid greatly because these is usually the age when intellectual capabilities form.
At age 1 to 5, a child can decide whether he wants to learn or wants to be a good learner. The road to learning starts here. Their curiosity and imagination are fed with the many pictures, sounds, and colors they find in the environment. Through this, they are able to grasp more concepts. From pictures, they eventually graduate to books with minimal words, and then picture-less books altogether.
