Good afternoon, dear readers! Did you know that a child’s model of the world is formed from the moment he is born until he is 12 years old? It turns out that 9 years is practically the final stage. But it’s not too late to guide your child in the right direction. I wonder how?
This is what I want to talk about today. One of our main helpers is books for children 9 years old. But how to choose and classify them correctly? Let's try not to miss the right moment and choose the right literature for our children!
From a conversation with one teacher, I learned some information regarding the culture of reading and raising children. Adults often forget that they are doing something reprehensible in the presence of a child. Has this ever happened to you? We demand from our child what we ourselves do not fulfill.
For example, almost everyone talks while eating. Well, yes, the most common situation: evening, the family got together for dinner. People share information. So why do we reprimand children if they also talk while stuffing their mouths? There should be a ban for everyone. Oh yes! Well, of course! Our information is much more important than theirs. That’s why let the kids be silent, and we will continue the conversation.
Well, this is just one example: it applies to anything. And the little ones build themselves and their views on the world by looking at you and me, at their surroundings. And they won’t take on book publishing if it’s not established in the family. Therefore, if you want to instill in your child a love of reading, start with yourself. And now we’ll find out which works will be useful at this age!
Classification
Parents of third-graders may face the problem of restlessness and inattention. Yes, this happens. A compromise must be sought everywhere. By the way, how are things going with this? Be sure to give your children the right to choose, ask what he wants to take from the bookshelf to read today. After all, what one person likes may not suit another. Incorrectly selected literature will push a child away from the world of books in general.
Of course, kids are all different. I understand. But today I will try to offer the most suitable options for everyone. And first I will divide the books into categories. Then I will give a list of each separately. And at the end I will also recommend options for boys and girls separately! So, the classification:
- Fairy tales and stories.
- Poems.
- Adventure and fantasy.
- Cognitive.
- For boys.
- For girls.
Fairy tales and stories
During this period, magical stories with humor and miracles will still be interesting. But teachers advise offering students works with a dose of tragedy. Those that affect interpersonal relationships. Difficult? But rose-colored glasses I need to take it off slowly. No! Let them continue to believe in miracles! But you also need to prepare for life. This is learned through books.
At this age, you need the concept that everything is given for work, and not just like that. I hope I wrote it clearly? The line is very thin and the topic is serious. But I managed to find something interesting in an online bookstore. See for yourself:
- "Malachite Box" Bazhov P.
- “Vitya Maleev at school and at home” Nosov N.N. A very good example about school to encourage your child to learn.
- "Oorfene Deuce and his wooden soldiers" Volkov A.
- "Kashtanka" Chekhov A.P.
- "Filipok" Tolstoy L.N.
- "Noscoeds" Schrute P. The strangest creature on the planet that eats socks! This is why they disappear so often! A funny and light work that young readers will really like.
You see, there is already something to think about in these books. It is very good if the child readily retells texts. Help him with this, talk about what he read. Explain the meaning. Yes, about retellings! A great option - poems! Let's talk about them.
Poetry
And memory training, and general development, and love for nature! That's a lot of functions in one bottle, as they say! What books should I read, what should I choose so that this restless person can finally calm down and get down to business?
- "Paper Umbrella" Boroditskaya M.
- "The Ballad of the Little Tugboat" Brodsky I. An unusual poem, I would say, educational. The interesting thing about it is that the narration comes from the name of the tugboat!
- "Poetry" Pushkin A.S.
- "Poems for Children" Yesenin Sergey.
In my opinion, they are quite easy to remember and interesting. And now I’ll tell you about adventure writings.
Adventure and fantasy
How interesting it is sometimes to go into the world of fantasy! Especially if you are a child between 8 and 11 years old! Are you familiar with any works? Perhaps you remember what you read as a child? And I recommend a small list of the best publications:
- "Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors" Gubarev V.
- "Alice in Wonderland" Lewis Carroll.
- "Howl's Moving Castle" Diana Jones.
- "Northern lights" Pullman F. This is already more complex work than the previous ones on this list. But reading is not forbidden! If a student is interested, he knows how to comprehend, why not?
- "Neverending Story" Michael Ende.
How is this a proposal? There are both familiar to us and more modern publications. If a child knows how to comprehend the material he reads, then he will learn all the good things that books bring. But there are publications that use completely truthful examples to talk about what is happening around us. Guess what I mean? Certainly! Educational encyclopedias and not only encyclopedias.
Cognitive
Curious children will be very happy if you give them such essays as a gift. Honestly, everyone will be happy about this. Do you know why? Absolutely here unusual facts, acquaintance with the unknown world of animals and plants. Even with space!
- "Why don't birds fall" Kolmanovsky Ilya. I decided to start the review with this fascinating book. The author simply collected all the variety of children's questions and gave answers to them in his publications. Here he talks about birds. And the story is told in a language accessible to children. Recommended reading for ages 7 to 10. Although there is a lot of interesting things for adults here too.
- The Guinness Book of Records will be very exciting for young readers. The most interesting facts, collected from different areas human life! Just what you need for curious kids!
- "Insects. School Guide" Mark Makhlin.
- "Riddles and secrets of pets", « Dog riddles" And " Cat riddles", author Svetlana Lavrova.
- "Big Book of Knowledge".
- “What is good and evil?” Oscar Breniffier. I wanted to stop the list, but then I came across this encyclopedia of goodness. It’s unusual, because it says in simple language how to act in this life. A distinction is made between good and bad. Get acquainted with this publication.
For girls
The fair half will be curious about stories about themselves, that is, about princesses! And the fantasy genre is also unlikely to be ignored if main character there's a girl there! Well, now the list itself:
- "Alice's Adventures" Kir Bulychev.
- "Blue Bead" Maria Kruger.
- "Pippi Longstocking" Astrid Lindgren.
- "Prostokvashino" Eduard Uspensky.
For boys
Mostly boys are lovers of adventure and all that. And I made the selection based on these interests.
- "Far Countries" Arkady Gaidar.
- "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" Mark Twain.
- "Tim Thaler, or Sold Laughter" James Crews.
These are the recommendations for your children. Tell us, what works are you familiar with? How did they benefit young readers? What are they interested in at the age of 9? I look forward to your comments! And subscribe to blog updates. All the best! Bye!

Modern literature for children is largely different from the books their parents or grandparents read. Many of them nowadays prefer to watch the TV on, but cartoons and anime will never replace books for children 9-10 years old. The list of literature that develops children's consciousness and curiosity is simply huge. It includes works by Russians, Soviets and whose plots give children the opportunity to dream and create.
Soviet children's literature: Valentina Oseeva and Alexander Volkov
Before that, he tried himself in different fields: he was a sailor, traveled a lot and wrote down stories of experienced sea “wolves”. These notes subsequently formed the basis of his humorous story “The Adventures of Captain Vrungel.”
This is incredible funny book fell in love not only with Soviet children, today’s schoolchildren read it with pleasure junior classes. It tells about the participation of Captain Vrungel, his student sailor Lom and the sharper from Calais Fuchs in the international regatta on the yacht “Trouble”. The numerous obstacles that the main characters had to go through and which they overcame with flying colors are described with such a sense of humor that even adults love to re-read this work.
Similar books for children 9-10 years old (the list contains many creations by authors different countries) teach that any adversity can be overcome if you do not lose your presence of mind.
Writers of England: Lewis Carroll and P. L. Travers
Great Britain gave the world large number children's writers, whose works are read not only by children, but also by their parents. For example, Lewis Carroll, professor of mathematics at Oxford University, who wrote books such as Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass.
Published in 1865, this is a fairy tale about a girl who falls through rabbit hole V unusual world, in which strange creatures live, enjoys constant love among children and adults. This work, written in the absurd genre, influenced the development of children's literature in the fantasy style. Alice's subsequent adventures on the other side of the mirror are also full of mathematical and philosophical jokes, and the works themselves remain so popular that films and cartoons are still made based on them.
She is known not only in her native England, but throughout the world thanks to a series of books about Mary Poppins, a nanny who appeared in the Banks family with the east wind. The magic that surrounds the young woman has a positive effect on the children she looks after. These authors and their works are included in the list of the best for children.
J.M. Barry
The next great writer from England, whom the whole world knows, is J. M. Barrie, author of the Peter Pan books.
The story of Peter Pan, who never grows up, is based on the author's grief over his brother who died at the age of 9. J.M. Barrie settled the main character in the country of Neverland and gave him the ability to fly. The Lost Boys, fairies, mermaids and evil pirates live there with him. The adventures of the children from the Darling family in Neverland are so exciting that directors continue to film new versions of the play, which was first staged in 1904.

Clive Staples Lewis
Tolkien's close friend, the famous Irish poet and writer Clive Staples Lewis, is familiar to children from such works as The Chronicles of Narnia.
The story of four children who, by chance, ended up in magical land Children aged 9-10 years like Narnia because the heroes here are not only their peers or animals they know, but also those they may have heard about from ancient Irish legends and the myths of Ancient Greece.
The liberation of Narnia from the power of the White Witch, who brought the inhabitants of the country not only many troubles, but also a hundred-year winter without Christmas and New Year, lies at the heart of the first book. Lewis wrote a series of seven novels in total, the first of which, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, was published in 1950, and the last in 1956.
