Features: Dr. Shinnosuke Shichida, President of the Japan Zero-Age Education Association and a Ph.D. in Education, points out: "The more highly developed the environment (education) provided to an infant between 0-1 years old, the more they can develop higher innate talents. The closer they are to 0 years old, the more they can acquire magical and mysterious abilities." The closer they are to 0 years old when learning, the better the function of their brain's neural circuits (producing functional changes in the transmission of the body), and the nerve cells themselves undergo qualitative changes (producing essential effects on the formation of the brain's substrate for mental activity)." To achieve the above goals, experts have designed this cognitive reading material perfectly suited for infants and toddlers aged 0-3 years. This book serves as a large card, a poster, and a beautiful picture book when combined. It can be adapted to different reading methods based on the cognitive characteristics of infants and toddlers at different stages of their growth. This advanced version, in addition to images and text, also includes recognition of numbers, comparisons, and colors.
1. Visual Stimulation Stage
In the early stages of infancy (0-4 months), visual development is still incomplete, and vision is poor. During this period, it is necessary to keep the infant in a bright environment frequently. Parents can hang these vividly colored cards around the crib to attract the infant's attention, stimulate visual development, and also read the songs on the cards to the infant frequently to promote the development of the brain and auditory system. (Provides 60 large cards.)
2. Recognition of Images, Colors, and Text Stage
In the second stage (5-12 months), infants have developed preliminary visual abilities. At this time, parents can connect the cards with plastic rings and hang them on a stand, transforming them into various forms of posters based on family circumstances. Parents can hold the infant and recognize the images, text, numbers, comparisons, and colors on the posters. When recognizing images, parents can point to the text to continuously reinforce the infant's impression of the words. At the same time, they can read the songs aloud to promote the infant's growth and development in both visual and auditory aspects. Change the groups of images periodically to maintain the infant's interest. (Can be transformed into 6-page poster sets.)
3. Picture Book Reading Stage
After the infant turns 1 year old, their cognitive abilities gradually improve. Parents can string the cards together with plastic rings to create picture books for the infant to read independently, fostering a love for reading. Parents can focus on teaching the infant to recognize words and recite the songs in the book to enhance their memory of words and language, which is very helpful for the infant's language development. At the same time, they can learn about numbers, comparisons, and colors and teach the infant to apply this knowledge in daily life. Parents can also tell stories to the infant based on the pictures to inspire and cultivate their imagination. (Can be transformed into three hardcover picture books.)
