Singing is great! B.Zakhoder
- Hello, Vova!
- How are your lessons?
- Not ready...
You know, bad cat
Doesn't let me study!
I just sat down at the table,
I hear: “Meow...” - “What have you come for?
Leave! - I shout to the cat. -
I already... can't bear it!
You see, I'm busy with science,
So scurry and don’t meow!”
He then climbed onto the chair,
He pretended to fall asleep.
Well, he cleverly pretended -
It’s almost like he’s sleeping! -
But you can't fool me...
“Oh, are you sleeping? Now you will get up!
You are smart and I am smart!”
Strike him by the tail!
- And he?
- He scratched my hands,
He pulled the tablecloth off the table,
I spilled all the ink on the floor,
I stained all my notebooks
And he slipped out the window!
I'm ready to forgive the cat
I feel sorry for them cats.
But why do they say
As if it's my fault?
I told my mother openly:
“This is just slander!
You should try it yourself
Hold the cat’s tail!”

Fedul, why are you pouting your lips?
- I burned the caftan.
-You can sew it up.
-Yes, there is no needle.
-Is the hole big?
-One gate left.

I caught a bear!
- So lead me here!
-It doesn't go.
-Then go yourself!
- He won’t let me in!

Where are you going, Foma?
Where are you going?
-I'm going to mow hay,
-What do you need hay for?
-Feed the cows.
-What do you want about cows?
- Milk.
-Why milk?
-Feed the kids.

Hello pussy, how are you?
Why did you leave us?
- I can’t live with you,
There's nowhere to put the tail
Walk, yawn
You step on the tail. Meow!

Theft.
- Kra! - the crow screams.
Theft! Guard! Robbery! The missing!
The thief sneaked in early in the morning!
He stole the penny from his pocket!
Pencil! Cardboard! Traffic jam!
And a beautiful box!
-Stop, crow, shut up!
Shut up, don't shout!
You can't live without deception!
You don't have a pocket!
“How?” the crow jumped
and blinked in surprise
Why didn't you say it before?
Car-r-raul! Car-r-rman stole!

Who is first.

Who offended whom first?
- He me!
- No, he me!
-Who hit whom first?
- He me!
- No, he me!

Fedya! Run to Aunt Olya,
Bring some salt.

Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin was born on May 26 (June 6, new style) 1799 in Moscow. This is where he spent his childhood.

In the summer, Pushkin was taken to Zakharyino, his grandmother’s village near Moscow. The boy loved these places: the birch grove, which began right at the gates of Zakharya’s house - they drank tea here on hot days - and the huge linden tree by the pond, and the dark spruce forest on its other bank. He played here, imagining himself as a hero fighting evil forces. And in the evenings he listened to cheerful and sad Russian songs, looked at the round dances led by peasant girls.

3. What places did little Sasha like?

Parents did not care much for their children. Sergei Lvovich, the poet’s father, thought little about home and raising children. Nadezhda Osipovna, the poet’s mother, beautiful society woman I was busy only with myself. The real mistress of the Pushkin house was the poet’s grandmother, Maria Alekseevna Hannibal, an intelligent, efficient and sensible woman. She loved her grandson very much. And the child, who did not know parental affection, became attached to her with all his heart. He loved listening to her quiet stories. I loved the fairy tales of my nanny Arina Rodionovna. With her melodious voice, she took the child into such a dazzling world of folk fantasy, sang such amazing songs that the boy forgot about the world around him. My father had an excellent library, mainly in French. The child greedily reached for the book. Secretly from adults, he sneaks into bookcases at night and reads by candlelight. Reading has become a passion.

4.What was Sasha’s hobby?

It's time to start studying, but tutors and governesses are not kept in the house. Pushkin did not like his teachers; they did not know how to interest him. However, the child had a brilliant memory, which helped him learn the given lesson, repeating it after his sister Olga.

In the eighth year of his life he begins to write. From his pen come fables, comic poems, and comedies. He alone “acts out” his comedy “The Kidnapper” in front of his sister. He writes short poems in the albums of neighboring young ladies. Adults do not attach importance to the boy's poetic exercises.

By the age of twelve, Pushkin, in general, was far ahead of his peers in development. He, according to his brother, “was gifted with an incredible memory and at the eleventh year he already knew by heart all French literature" However, this did not stop him from running and jumping over chairs, deftly throwing the ball, that is, remaining a twelve-year-old playful boy. He loved native nature, folk tales and songs, he loved his grandmother, his nanny, he loved Yusupov’s garden and Zakharyino, he loved books.

Children's writers and their works.

On the shelves of bookstores today you can find great amount sentences, but not everything in a beautiful and bright cover will be useful for children to read. The best works will be those that differ not only fascinating story, but also carry certain educational ideas: they teach goodness, justice, and honesty.

Exactly at preschool age erudition begins to develop: the child comes to school with an extensive and in many respects unique literary baggage. At preschool age, children are widely acquainted with Russian and world folklore in all the diversity of its genres, with Russian and foreign classics, with the works of children's writers - with those first classical works, to which a person often does not return later.

Art created for children is a diverse and extensive part of modern culture.

Samuel's talent began to manifest itself in early childhood: the boy wrote poetry and had an ability for foreign languages.

The most famous works are “Twelve Months”, “Luggage”, “The Tale of a Stupid Mouse”, “He’s So Absent-Minded”, “Mustachioed and Striped” and others.

Agnia Lvovna Barto (1906-1981)

Agnia Barto was an exemplary student; already at school she began to write poetry and epigrams for the first time. Now many children are brought up on her poems; her light, rhythmic poems have been translated into many languages of the world. Agnia was an active literary figure all her life, a member of the jury of the Andersen Competition. In 1976 she received the H.H. Andersen Prize. The most famous poems are “Bullfinch”, “Bullfinch”, “Tamara and I”, “Lyubochka”, “Bear”, “Man”, “I am growing” and others. Barto always succeeded in such a dialogue, because she knew perfectly well the person she was addressing and respected the interlocutor, no matter how small he was.

Each toy in the image of Agnia Barto acquires individuality. A toy is an important part of the material, material environment that is closest to the child and is actively mastered by him.

Poems help you survive disdain to a toy as a betrayal of a friend. Barto contrasts the negligent and cruel “mistress” of the rag hare with another small character, who, after the bear lost his paw, continues to play with him “because he is good.” So childish affection old toy the poet melted it into a beautiful property of the soul: loyalty to close friends, gratitude and love. A peculiarity in poems about toys: as a rule, they are written in the first person, if we're talking about about some good deeds children (“I’m pulling a boat along a fast river...”, “No, it’s not in vain that we decided to give the cat a ride in the car...”, “We’ll build the plane ourselves...”) and from a third person, when there are no active actions of the child or bad actions of the child (“Bunny the hostess abandoned...", "Our Tanya is crying loudly...").

This example helps to affirm in young readers positive features character. A. Barto is a children's writer not because she wrote for children, but because her best poems became children's folklore. She walks with her reader through all the stages of childhood and at the same time not only strives to open the world of toys, things, nature, people, but also to lay in the child’s soul the beginning of a moral attitude towards the world. Barto reveals the child's personality from the very beginning early childhood when the child just begins to walk (“Mashenka” - 1948). During this period, the baby is a discoverer of the world; he only receives the very first impressions. In her poems, the poetess traces the growth of independence of the child.

Agnia Barto laughs with children cheerfully, not evilly, she does not want to offend or condemn the child forever, since children grow and change and therefore they are not hopeless in bad deeds. Barto's ridicule does not hurt or kill, but makes him look at himself from the outside. Barto is deeply convinced that it is in childhood that the foundation of a person is laid, and if in the formative character appeared negative qualities, then this threatens great moral losses in the future.

Sergei Vladimirovich Mikhalkov (1913-2009)

He can be considered a classic of Russian children's literature: writer, chairman of the Writers' Union of the RSFSR, talented poet, writer, fabulist, playwright. He is the author of two anthems: the USSR and the Russian Federation. He devoted a lot of time to social activities, although at first he did not have a dream of becoming a writer: in his youth he was both a laborer and a member of a geological exploration expedition. We all remember such works as “What do you have”, “Song of Friends”, “The Three Little Pigs”, “On New Year’s Eve”, “Uncle Styopa is a Policeman”. Why is the image of Uncle Styopa so close to the reader, why is he friends with millions of children? First of all, he has a very attractive character trait, which, unfortunately, does not too often define the images of heroes in children's literature: kindness, responsiveness. Uncle Styopa not only prevented a train crash - he also saved pigeons from a burning house, and “lifted someone who was small in stature at a parade,” and “removed a kite from the telegraph wires for the guys.”

Children not only need everything that Uncle Styopa does for them, but they also need close and interesting what he does for himself. He jumps with a parachute, goes to a parade, shoots at a shooting range, comes to a stadium, rides a camel and finally joins the navy.

Mikhalkov, with remarkable accuracy and perceptiveness, defined the range of childish (mainly boyish) interests and managed to play out the adventures of Uncle Styopa in such a way that with each episode the appearance of the hero emerges more fully and attractively.

Modern children they read little, are not interested in art, do not know how to organize leisure time, spend most of their time at the computer, as a result of which they do not know how to communicate with peers and adults.

You can’t help but wonder where such a wonderful tradition as family reading or reading before bed? It is no secret that it is in the family that a child’s personality is nurtured. The task of adults is to introduce children to reading and instill a love for books. If the family loves and reads a lot, then the baby will imitate the lifestyle of his family.
