Features: This is a set of cognitive reading materials specially designed for infants and toddlers aged 0-3. These books serve as large cards, wall hangings, and beautiful picture books when combined. The reading method adapts to the cognitive characteristics of infants and toddlers at different stages of their growth, allowing for flexible and versatile use to achieve the effect of "reading without getting bored." They provide significant help in the development of infants' visual and auditory senses. This set of children's reading materials is divided into three stages:
1. Visual Stimulation Stage: In the early stages of infancy (0-4 months), a baby's vision is still underdeveloped, with poor eyesight and little ability to recognize colors. During this period, it's important to keep the baby in a bright environment and expose them to objects with vivid shapes and colors. Parents can hang some cards around the crib to attract the baby's attention, stimulate their visual development, and also read rhymes from the cards frequently to promote brain and auditory development. (Provides 72 large cards.)
2. Color and Shape Recognition Stage: In the second stage (5-12 months), infants have developed basic visual abilities. At this time, parents can connect the cards with plastic rings and hang them on a plastic stand, creating various forms of wall hangings that can be adjusted in length and width. (When hanging, please pay attention to the combination of light and dark colors and warm and cool tones.) Parents can hold the baby and help them recognize the colors and shapes on the wall hangings while continuously reading rhymes to promote their growth and development in both visual and auditory aspects. Periodically, the images can be rearranged to provide a fresh experience for the baby. The pictures in this set are large, vividly colored, and have strong contrasts, making their visual effects superior to ordinary wall hangings.
3. Picture Book Reading Stage: After the baby turns one year old, their cognitive abilities gradually improve. Parents can use the red ribbons provided with this set to string the cards into picture books and let the baby read them independently to cultivate a love for reading. Since the baby is already familiar with these images and colors, parents can teach them to recite the rhymes on the book. The rhymes are smooth and easy to remember, and if parents read them to the baby for 10 minutes every day, it will enhance their language memory and greatly help them learn to speak. Additionally, parents can tell stories related to the images to inspire and develop the baby's imagination. (Can be transformed into 6-page fold-out wall hangings.)
When the baby is two years old, parents can use the picture book to teach them to recognize characters, turning the book into a character recognition textbook. Since the baby is already very familiar with the objects in it, they will quickly learn to recognize characters based on this foundation. If the baby can recognize all 72 cards, they will basically be able to smoothly enter the picture-word recognition stage.
