The child's self-development determines the quality of his education. In addition to modern technologies that occupy the attention of schoolchildren, more time should be devoted to reading. To find books for children 10 years old, you should focus on interests and curriculum. If for teenagers 14+ there are many interesting literature on different topics, then children under 10 years old often remain not covered by attention. But this is exactly the age when the love of reading and cognitive interest is formed! We will tell you how to help your child choose some good books, and which authors you can focus on.
How to find interesting books for children 10 years old?
A child aged 9-10 is in active development, which requires attention to the education and interests of children from the parents. School education - this is far from everything you need to satisfy your curiosity.Self-development is an obligatory component of education. You can fill your needs with reading, which is much more useful than spending time at the computer and modern gadgets.
The vast selection in the world of children's literature can put even an adult in a difficult position. You have to decide which books to read first. Each age threshold requires appropriate content in order for it to arouse interest: the most exciting will be the one that matches the preferences of the baby.
When choosing books for children 10 years old, parents should consider the following criteria:
- gender of the child. Readings in literature directly depend on this factor, but try not to impose your worldview: if a girl likes adventure literature, and a boy wants to read about rescuing from the princess tower, there is nothing strange about it - children learn the world from different angles;
- interests. Consider children's hobbies, hobbies, what kind of animals the child loves. You can focus on your favorite films;
- illustration. The more interesting the picture on the cover, the more attention it attracts. Look also at the interior design: text with images will be more attractive. But you need to take into account two factors: pictures should not distract from reading (that is, they should not occupy most of the page) and should at least approximately correspond to the text, so that the child can explain what is depicted there and connect with what he read;
- volume. It all depends on the love of reading. If it is not a favorite hobby, you should not overload the child with huge volumes.
Most interesting books in most cases, those that you consider classics. As surprising as it may sound, a lot of what you were interested in as a child is also relevant for your children. Contemporary literature also do not discount - a lot of what modern authors write is very exciting.
One of the most common problems is the child's unwillingness to sit and read. Then a new problem appears before adults: to determine which book to captivate their child. Parents need to consider the criteria and set a good example themselves. In the initial stages, you can read one of the best books for you in the presence of children.
List of books for children 10 years old
Modern parents try to pay attention to those works that are popular among younger students. Therefore, many are looking for lists of books in order to select works from it. Many of them were created by teachers, which allows you to focus on the curriculum. The rating of books is good, in which there are no restrictions on the time of writing. Many copies can be useful and interesting, even if they were written in past centuries. Therefore, each top should be critically evaluated.
There are books that are literally timeless. Favorite classics for children gives memories from childhood itself. How to choose the right piece? We recommend using collections from the series "Tales in Large Letters" and "My Mom's Favorite Books":

- ... Mayakovsky's poems for children are not so much poetic as useful. For lovers of unusual poetry, clear rhythm and precise directions.
10 years - this is a transitional age when a child prepares for growing up, but does not yet fully understand what it means to be a teenager. To help him orient himself in life and the world around him, present an interesting encyclopedia by Elena Uleva, which will become his guide on the way to understanding himself:
- ... The simplest and most understandable encyclopedia of etiquette, which in a playful way will tell the child how to do the right thing and what good deeds will help him become a welcome guest in every home;
- ... Try to explain economic theory to a 10-year-old! Not even all adults can handle it. Transparent fairy tales and interesting tasks will put the child on the path of understanding the value of things.
