We all know the importance of reading, but now, children have picture books and story books at home. They just like watching TV. How children fall in love with reading is a headache for parents.
It is not difficult to make children fall in love with reading. Parents only need to open the door to reading for their children at the early stage of their growth.
How old can a child start reading?
How old do you start to cultivate children's reading habits? Many parents may think that after their children are interested in books, or after they can read by themselves, they are not.
American pediatricians advise children to start reading to him when they are six months old. And Developmental Psychology says that prenatal education reading can start in the third trimester. Studies have shown that I read to my baby every month one or two months before delivery. After the baby is born, he will show excitement and other reactions when he hears his mother read a familiar story. Therefore, children's reading can start during pregnancy.
But in China, before the age of one, most mothers may pay more attention to their children's physical development. When taking care of a child, the doctor will only tell you whether the child's growth is up to standard, and there is no doctor who will give you advice on reading.
In my opinion, in today's society with such rich material conditions, children's nutrition should be guaranteed. Instead of spending a lot of time worrying about children eating more or less, it is better to spend more time giving them rich spiritual food.
Mothers might as well read to their children every day from the beginning of pregnancy. Create a good reading atmosphere for children.
Reading should be chosen according to the development law of children.
Every child's development stage is different, so there is no need to follow the timetable set by the textbook mechanically. Parents are advised to customize reading plans for their children.
Many children's reading may begin with poetry. Dr Wei, a professor at the School of Psychology and Cognitive Sciences in Peking University, also advocates that children should read poetry. He said: "Reading poetry is good for children's brain development. Even if he can't read and doesn't know the specific meaning of poetry, as long as he makes full use of the rhythm of poetry and lets him read rhythmically, shake his head, read rhythmically and even sing poetry, it will stimulate his brain well. "
I also agree that reading enlightenment begins with poetry. When children have no patience to listen to a story and are not interested in words that are too long, it is better to recite poems to them every day.
Scientific research has found that just giving children a bunch of books has little effect on improving their reading ability, but companionship and interaction are the key. Book selection can be carried out according to children's cognitive development characteristics: easy first, difficult later, concrete first, and abstract later.
For example, when a child is one year old, he will be curious about many common things in life. At this time, they can choose some picture books about common sense of life and let them read while looking at the pictures.
When the child is 23 years old, he will read some picture books again and again, so that you can tell a story again and again. At this time, you must be patient and put your child's interest first. Let him choose a book. If you are tired, you might as well deliberately change some sentences in the book so that children can find mistakes.
Tips for making children fall in love with reading:
When children are young, the purpose of cultivating children's interest in reading is not to let them learn much knowledge at once, but to make them interested in reading and fall in love with it. This requires the active cooperation of parents.
Tell stories full of sound and emotion, don't read dry stories. Every time I listen to Uncle Kai's story, I find it particularly interesting, and children will listen to it with relish. When it's my turn to read to my children, sometimes I just read like a repeater. The child will obviously be absent-minded But when I raise the volume or change the tone according to the contents of the book, the child will be pulled back. Sometimes I will learn my tone and say it again.
There is more interaction when telling stories. For example, when reading the story of "Three Little Pigs Building a New House" to children, I will ask them, "Why did the wolf suddenly enter the house of the old pig and the second pig, but the third pig couldn't?" Or ask, "Who do you think is the strongest?" Waiting for some interactive questions, children will be willing to think and remember stories more easily.
Telling stories and watching them before acting are my son's favorite ways. A picture book is told two or three times, and he basically remembers the content. But he will still let me say it again and again. He will ask me: Mom, you play the wolf and I play the white rabbit. Then the two of us said the lines in the book. Or reverse the role again, so that children will feel that reading is not boring. He is like a game, very interesting and fun, and will continue the next day.
Give children a fixed reading time every day. Every night, I will set aside some time to study with my son. Not long ago, their school also assigned a reading task-21day to develop the habit of punching in. Every day I let my son choose his own books. I'll watch it with him, and then shoot it and upload it to the platform to punch in. After this task, my son habitually picks up a book every night and says, "Mom, let's talk about this book today."
Let children master the reading rhythm. On the way to show my son a picture book, I am often interrupted. Sometimes I get impatient and feel that my child is not paying attention at all. Otherwise, why don't you want to know what happened next and interrupt? But in fact, children's thinking is very different from that of adults, and their thinking is very jumping. If they read something they are interested in or have questions about, they will express it. At this time, stop and patiently explain to them. Then ask him if he wants to continue. After getting the affirmative answer, continue the following story.
Don't use rewards to make children read. Let children feel that reading is a happy thing, and let children really fall in love with reading. If you let your children read in the way of "I'll give you candy after reading this book", it will make them feel that it is hard work. Even reading is as meaningless as completing the task. We need to establish a cognition for children that reading is a part of daily life and an interesting thing.
How old can a child start reading? Books should be selected according to children's development law. When the child's brain is not fully developed, it is easy to indulge in one thing. It is of course true and important to make children fall in love with reading, but some children may be addicted to reading and still read extracurricular books during class. At this time, parents and teachers need to help children establish a sense of boundaries of rules and tell them when they can learn and when they can't, so that their abilities can develop in a balanced way.
In the early morning, my mother came to talk: a second-born mother who started writing in the early morning, I wrote my heart by hand, and everything was my parenting experience with my children. I hope my parenting experience can bring you some help.
