Features: Modern brain physiology research shows that children around the age of 5 have their brains develop to a mature stage. This period is the key time for children's intellectual development, and therefore, educational departments advocate for three years of preschool education for children. Children aged 3 to 6 are highly curious and eager to learn, making it a critical time for parents and educational departments to provide them with enlightenment and intellectual education. What should they learn? The Ministry of Education's guiding outline requires "using books, paintings, and other various forms to spark children's interest in reading and writing, cultivating preschool reading and writing skills, and fostering their interest in common simple symbols and text marks in daily life." To this end, we have invited educators to write the "Starting Steps" series of preschool education readers. The "Starting Steps" series of preschool education readers consists of 10 titles, including "Language Starting Steps," "Intelligence Starting Steps," "Thinking Starting Steps," "Classical Poetry Starting Steps," "English Starting Steps," and "Subtraction Starting Steps." These books are designed to be simple, easy to understand, and progressively aligned with children's cognitive abilities. They use colors, images, text, and games to spark children's interest in learning. Learning through play helps develop children's cognitive, observational, memory, logical reasoning, judgment, and language expression skills. It opens up their wisdom, enhances their intellectual level, and cultivates their competitiveness, enabling them to smoothly transition into primary school learning and life.
