The impact of reading on human growth is huge.
Liu Xiang, a Confucian scholar from the Western Han Dynasty, has a famous saying: "Books are like medicine, and good reading can cure stupidity." He believed that reading is like medicine, which can cure various stupid diseases in the body.
However, data shows that the average annual reading volume of both adults and children in our country is relatively small.
The research organization BigData-Research released the "2019 China Digital Reading Market Research Report". The report shows that last year, the per capita reading volume in my country reached 7.99, including 4.67 paper books and electronic books. 3.32 books.
In 2018, the per capita reading volume of minors aged 0 to 17 in my country was 8.91 books.
The "Rural Children's Reading Report" even shows that rural children read less than 10 extracurricular books a year, and more than 36 rural children read less than 3 books per year on average.
We always say that children do not have time to study. In fact, children just do not master the correct method of studying.
From ancient times to the present, there are so many ways to study!
Ancient ones:
Zhuge Liang, Prime Minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, used the "observe the general outline" method, read it all at once, and then grasp the key points;
Dong Yu's "observe its outline" "Three Remaining Methods", using the spare time in life to read...
Today there are:
Feynman's reading method, "deep reading" of knowledge, is highly regarded Respected by big names in the financial world;
Jia Pingwa's "touch one to connect three" method, don't be narrow in reading books;
Maugham's "fun" reading method, thinking that you can read five and six at the same time This book is more reasonable;
Lenin's annotation reading method, when reading, you can comment, annotate, highlight the key points, and experience...
In fact, the above method can be summarized Generally speaking, it can be classified into these 10 reading methods:
01 Scanning method
Quickly and roughly scan the whole picture to have an overall grasp and a rough understanding of the basic content to achieve the purpose of reading.
Similar to what Tao Yuanming advocated: "Read well and don't ask for deep explanations." Browse quickly to understand the main idea. This method will not affect the level of understanding, the reading speed is very fast, and the reading range can be expanded.
This is what Lao She did. He said: "I only seem to need a little inspiration when reading. 'Excellent impression' means a good book, and I don't have time to analyze it in detail."
02 Thorough reading method
Understand the full picture from the title, author, source, basic content of the article and the basic facts involved, writing characteristics and controversial points, and filter the desired information step by step .
It can not only improve reading efficiency, but also quickly understand the whole thing. This method is more suitable for important books, newspapers and magazines.
03 Identifying Reading Method
This method can be chosen when acquiring knowledge extensively.
It helps to analyze the main content of the article, remove the dregs and extract the essence, process and organize the article or book, and then use your own language to summarize the central idea.
04 Extensive reading method
This method is especially suitable for books that do not require detailed understanding. The result of just looking at one person's works is not very good, and you will not get the advantages of many aspects.
This method allows you to read a wide range of books, and you can continuously read the content of different books and absorb all aspects of knowledge. For example, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, such as unpopular science, obscure history, etc.
When Marx wrote "Das Kapital", he studied 1,500 kinds of books and collected a large amount of preparation materials through reading
05 Intensive Reading Method
It is to study carefully. A way to read carefully.
Zhu Xi’s words convey the essence: “The method of reading is to proceed step by step, read carefully and think carefully.”
Here, “read well and think deeply”, It refers to intensive reading.
That is to say, read and study repeatedly, understand thoroughly, and summarize the essence. For example, this method can be used for professional books, favorite books, and articles of interest.
This is the secret of intensive reading! Just like Feynman's reading method: "Read from the beginning and keep reading. If you don't understand something, go back and read it from the beginning again until you understand."
06 Skip Reading Method
Mr. Lu Xun believed: "If you only look at that place when you encounter a question, then you will not understand it no matter how long it takes. If you just jump over and move forward, you will not understand it. Even the previous places are understood.”
This skipping reading method is to consciously ignore secondary information or information that is not understood, and focus on overall understanding and the most important content. It also saves time and increases reading speed.
07 Re-reading method
Good things are worth reading again and again, and good books are worth reading again and again. For example, Dream of Red Mansions, The Little Prince, and Andersen's fairy tales. If you read them at each stage, you will have different insights.
That’s why there is a saying of “reviewing the past and learning the new”.
Literary writer Voltaire also believed that "rereading an old book is like meeting an old friend again."
The knowledgeable Su Dongpo was a leader in the literary world of the Northern Song Dynasty. He was a writer, a calligrapher and a painter, and one of the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties. Poetry, lyrics, prose, calligraphy and painting all have unique styles.
This is because he has a "break one by one" reading method.
Su Dongpo believed that every time you read a book, you only need to understand and digest one problem; by reading it over and over again, you can achieve mastery of everything. And every time, read it again from another angle. After reading this, every aspect can stand the test.
Therefore, if you read a book a hundred times, its meaning will become apparent.
08 Writing and Reading Methods
As the saying goes: "A good memory is worse than a bad writing."
When studying, teachers always talk about writing and reading, and writing and reading. In fact, writing and reading is like telling a truth to others, and it is an effective method of internalization. It is a process of self-perception and self-digestion, truly turning other people's knowledge into one's own understanding.
Things like excerpts, writing experiences, taking notes, and reflections after reading, etc., not only allow children to accumulate a large amount of materials and effectively improve their writing skills, but also enhance their reading ability and transform knowledge into skills and techniques.
Crosstalk language master Hou Baolin only went to elementary school for three years, but in the end he became a language expert, and his ability to "copy books" was indispensable!
He once visited all the used bookstalls in Beijing in order to buy a Ming Dynasty joke book "Jian Lang", but failed to do so.
Later I learned that the Beijing Library had this book, so I decided to copy it back. In the cold winter, despite the strong wind and heavy snow, he went to the library for eighteen days to copy books. Finally, he copied a book with more than 100,000 words.
09 Guess the pronunciation method
Before reading a book, make predictions and guesses in advance.
This is the reading method of the famous mathematician Hua Luogeng. He got a book, and instead of reading it from cover to cover, he first thought about the book for a while, then closed his eyes and meditated. After he has guessed the entire strategic layout of the book, he opens the book again. If the author's ideas are consistent with his guess, he will stop reading.
This guessing method not only saves reading time, but also greatly cultivates thinking and imagination, preventing yourself from becoming a slave to books.
10 Selective Reading Methods
There are many books on the market now. After all, our energy is limited, so we must read selectively.
And some books don’t need to be read from beginning to end, such as tools and guidance books. As long as you dig out diamonds, the rest won’t matter.
We choose the books we need to read based on our own circumstances and needs, so that we can get twice the result with half the effort. When you have time and energy, read the whole book intensively.
Conclusion
The famous thinker Liang Qichao said: "If a person develops the habit of reading, he will taste the fun of reading. Once this habit is developed, it will benefit him throughout his life. . ”
Only when children can read and love reading can they be spiritually rich.
Having talked about these 10 reading methods, I believe it will be helpful for children to improve their reading ability.
As mentioned in "Young China Theory": "So today's responsibility does not lie with others, but with my youth. The wisdom of youth will be the wisdom of the country, the wealth of youth will be the wealth of the country, and the strength of the youth will be the strength of the country. If young people are independent, the country will be independent; if young people are free, the country will be free; if young people make progress, the country will progress."
If people want to make progress, they should study first.
Let your children start by insisting on reading, and encourage them together with all parents!
