Early Childhood Education

Every parent desires that his/her little Titan grows up talented and intelligent, to achieve this many individuals have invested heavy in their children’s early education. For it is apparent to all that the only real gift that we can award our kids is education. As such, Parents should start nurturing their children’s learning appetite from an early age. In almost all countries around the globe, governments are struggling with issues regarding the improvement of education and its diversification. Education has been a source of concern throughout history, for it is the channel through which cultures and societal norms are passed to the next generation. Consequently, a desire by parents to push for early education is healthy for the development of the nation and the survival of a people’s culture. The best way to cultivate learning is through reading exercises that utilize child-friendly literature. Here are some books that can prove quite helpful for children

Beginners

For a young child being introduced to reading, the objective is to accompany smooth words with images or visual presentations. The book of choose should be easy enough for the young reader to understand the themes and teachings held in its account. As a result, many pictures should be used that visualize the words documented in the literature. Here are two, easy-to-read, visual-packed books;

i. The Lion and the Bird

"The Lion and the Bird" is a book that communicates to all children regardless of their up bring.

ii. Hug Me

It’s a simple book written to inspire a loving attitude within a family setting. The author seeks to demonstrate the invaluable role played by a friendly hug in a child’s life. All children need to be shown love through hugs and kisses; such acts will allow the child to feel loved and appreciated. “Hug Me” is a book authored by Simona Ciraolo, an individual devoted to educating the young generation of learners. The story is about a little cactus called Felipe who only wants a hug, but when he fails to get it from his family.
