A few days ago and a mother chatted, she complained that half a day the child does not love to read, as long as the child reads a book, it does not take five minutes, the child is allowed to fall asleep, she is particularly worried...
Reading is a good habit, 0-6 years old is a key period for the formation of good habits in children, but also a golden period for the development of various abilities, the most important of which is the development of learning ability. The "learning ability" can be developed by more than 90% by cultivating reading ability, which shows the importance of the cultivation of "reading ability" to children's learning and even a lifetime.
When is it good for children to start reading? Don't think too soon, the mother's belly has already begun
Many parents will ask: when the child is old, they begin to cultivate reading ability, and they can only say: never early.
It can even be as early as pregnancy, which is what we know as "language prenatal education".
After 20 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus can hear the outside world, and then the fetus can be stimulated by language, which helps to increase the intellectual development of the fetus, such as reading aloud to the fetal baby in the belly every day, the expectant father will read aloud The effect will be better, and some studies have found that the fetus prefers the father's low and thick voice.
When the baby is born, when he is awake, he can read stories, picture books, and classic Chinese studies to him.
At this stage, the baby will not understand the meaning, but can hear the sound, such reading will stimulate the baby's interest in sound, and begin to develop the baby's listening skills.
Some people suggest that the "time to start reading" should not exceed 6 months.
After 6 months, the baby's motor ability gradually increases, in the stage of learning to sit, learn to climb, learn to stand, learn to walk, will be more interested in exploring motor skills, if you have not cultivated the baby's reading habits before, then let the baby sit quietly and read books, it is more difficult, want to develop reading habits, parents need to pay more time and energy.
A friend, when her baby will not turn over, she often reads the "Three Character Classic" to the baby, the baby also listens to it with relish, has always liked to read, to more than one year old suddenly do not read books, began a variety of hands-on skills up up, one and a half years old with a screwdriver to disassemble the car, two years old more blind spelling 50 pieces of puzzles, until the two-year-old more than the language outbreak and suddenly love to read, and take the initiative to ask for word recognition, a month to know nearly a hundred.
How to cultivate children's "reading ability"? 6 ways to make children fall in love with reading, this practical guide parents should collect
As a parent, I basically have a dream of "hoping for a child to become a dragon and a girl to become a phoenix", but whether a child can become a child has a lot to do with family education and training from an early age, and the cultivation of reading ability is one of the most important ones.
To cultivate children's reading ability, it is necessary to have two basic abilities: the formation of continuous reading habits, that is, having a fixed reading time every day and insisting on reading;
The accumulation of massive reading, generally a year of reading reached 50-1 million words can make the reading ability sprout.
Of course, if you want your child to develop such reading habits and be happy with books, it is inseparable from the support and cultivation of parents, and you can refer to the following strategy.
1. Lead by example and influence children by example
There are thousands of forms of education, the first one is to teach by example, parenting is to raise themselves first, and parents should be the first example of their children!
The same is true of the habit of reading, for children, the strongest is the ability to imitate, parents' behavior and habits may be imitated by children to learn.
If parents like to read, often read in front of their children, often take their children to read, then the children will naturally be interested in reading, and develop the habit of reading; on the contrary, if parents watch TV and watch mobile phones every day, most children will not have too strong interest in reading, but it is easy to watch TV and play mobile phones with parents.
2. Create a good reading environment and atmosphere
First of all, an example around, a teacher who does family education, her two babies are particularly fond of reading, to the point where they can forget to eat when they have books to read, she said that in her living room sofa, bedroom bedside, bathroom, there are books everywhere, she will not clean up the home clean, and her two babies love to read and such a "sloppy environment" and "mother's lazy habits" have a lot to do with it.
The environment around the child is filled with books and knowledge learning, which is crucial for the formation of reading habits.
Now that science and technology are developed, in addition to reading paper books, you can also prepare a learning machine for children to learn knowledge by listening to stories, one can exercise listening and thinking imagination, and the other can also alleviate the pressure of reading books to the eyes.
Of course, there are many different brands of learning machines on the market now, and it is also important to "choose". Through "listening" to let children learn knowledge, in addition to accumulating knowledge, but also intentionally exercise children's thinking imagination, memory and concentration.
3. Encourage your child to read "Speak Out"
Recently my son has been listening to the "Journey to the West" in the Shen'er Guoxue machine, listening to a few times a day, after listening to it, I pretended not to know the plot inside, let him tell me again, the little guy danced while talking, what happened to the master in this episode, what happened to Sun Wukong... When it comes to the funny part, I will laugh and lean forward and backward.
By letting the child listen first, listening to the understanding and memory and then speaking out, even the older child can also write it out through the form of words or pictures, which can well exercise the child's comprehension ability, memory and language expression ability, no matter how the child speaks, parents give appropriate affirmation and encouragement on the side, so that the child has a sense of achievement and will prefer to read.
4. Attract and guide children to enjoy reading according to their interests
There may be some children who do not like to read, in this case, the correct guidance of parents is very critical, according to the child's interests to attract children to read first, and then slowly fall in love with reading.
For example, which cartoons children love to watch recently, what kind of animals are interested, then you can buy relevant books to accompany children to watch, tell children, let children immerse themselves in it, enjoy the fun of reading, and will also like to read.
5. See the stitch and encourage your child to read more
Once on the subway, a mother took a little boy sitting across from me, and the little boy was carrying a small school bag with two dinosaur picture books, and the mother accompanied the child to read all the way. At that time, I was still quite touched, thinking that this was a good way, one to pass the boring time of taking the subway, and the other to cultivate the habit of reading everywhere.
In fact, reading is like this, you can often bring a book in the bag, so that you can use the fragmented time everywhere, see the stitches and needles to let the child read, there is such a habit and worry that the child does not love to read?
6. The habit of reading should be cultivated slowly, and there should be no rush to achieve quick success
There are also parents who always complain that their children are impatient, can't sit still, and just don't love to read!
In fact, the habit of reading needs to be cultivated slowly from an early age, which is also a great test for parents, with a certain planning arrangement, but also enough patience to correctly guide children to read.
In addition, do not look at one or two times to want an obvious effect, reading is not a matter of quick success, you need to wait for the flowers to bloom, as long as you insist on letting the children read, wait for the children to go to junior high school, high school, and children who do not read, there will be obvious differences in learning and writing, to wait for the flowers to blossom!
