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 be endowed with higher talents. The closer to 0 years old, the stronger and more mysterious their abilities become, as if by magic." Learning closer to 0 years old enhances the function of brain neural circuits (producing functional changes in the transmission of the body), and the neurons themselves undergo qualitative changes (having a fundamental impact on the formation of the brain substrate for mental activities)." To achieve the above goals, experts have designed this cognitive reading material perfectly suited for infants and toddlers aged 0-3 years. This set serves as both a large card and a poster, and when combined, it becomes a beautiful picture book. It can be adapted to different reading methods based on the cognitive characteristics of infants and toddlers at various 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 at the same time, often recite the songs on the cards to promote the development of the infant's 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 shapes, text, numbers, comparisons, and colors on the posters. When identifying images, point to the words to continuously reinforce the infant's impression of the text, while also reciting the songs to promote 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 double-sided posters.)
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 and let the infant browse them independently to cultivate a love for reading. Parents can focus on teaching the infant to recognize words and recite the songs on the books to enhance their memory of text and language, which is very helpful for learning to speak and read. 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 child based on the images to inspire and cultivate their imagination. (Can be transformed into three hardcover picture books.)
