The day before yesterday I received a private message from a mother like this:
"The neighbor's children are only 5 years old, they will tell stories to their mothers, my family's big treasure is 6 years old, but as soon as he reads a book, he is sleepy, what should he do?" How do you make your child fall in love with reading? ”
Many parents may have similar troubles, for children like to watch TV, play with toys, just do not love to read this thing is very headache, it seems that like to read is always "other people's children", their children are not interested in reading.
In fact, the reason for this situation is that the child's reading sensitivity period is missed, and parents do not cultivate good reading habits and interests for them, and the child will not like to read.
What is a "reading sensitive period"?
The so-called "reading sensitive period" refers to the period when children have a strong interest in reading, generally following the "writing sensitive period", which appears between the ages of 4 and a half and 5.
So if parents find that their children are 6 years old and still have no interest in reading, then they must think carefully about whether they missed the child's "reading sensitivity period" in the first place?
Generally speaking, after children come to the "reading sensitive period", they will have the following manifestations:
1. Feel unprecedented curiosity about books, be very interested whenever you see books, and hope to watch them repeatedly;
2. Like to go to places where there are books, such as when taking children to the mall, children will take the initiative to ask to go to bookstores, book corners, etc.;
3. I like to listen to stories more than before, and I also began to make up some stories to tell to parents, showing a rich imagination;
4. Have a certain ability to read independently, although often "do not seek to understand", but are very interested.
Once parents find that their children have one or more of the above manifestations, then they should pay more attention to this critical period when children develop reading habits.
If we do not seize the opportunity, the child will waste a great opportunity because he does not have the previous accumulation and does not know the words, and will spend this period in some other ways, such as reading advertisements, reciting various strange slogans, reading product packaging, etc.
Therefore, we must pay attention to observation, when children come to the reading sensitive period, stimulate their interest in reading, guide the establishment of reading habits, and let children benefit for life.
How to seize the "reading sensitive period"?
1. Find your child's interest in reading
All habits are formed by interest, and children's reading habits are no exception.
When the child comes to the "reading sensitive period", we must first find the child's interest in reading, many parents find that the child does not like to read, in fact, the child just does not like the content of the book.
I remember when I read a picture book to my son, not to mention arousing my son's interest in reading, I felt drowsy when I read it, I had no desire to read it, and finally I couldn't help but give up halfway, and the picture book had been thrown at home to eat ash.
Therefore, when cultivating children's reading habits, it is important to find reading interest, for example, most of the little boys will like books with a sense of adventure and a strong story, preferably contain dinosaurs, vehicles, machinery and other elements, and the little girl is interested in related books such as princesses, cuteness, and small animals.
2. Create a reading atmosphere
Compared with adults, children's concentration ability is relatively poor, and it will be easier to lose their minds, so it is important to create a reading atmosphere.
In addition to creating a relatively quiet external environment, we can also interact with children more, add some personal interpretations according to the content of the book, and communicate with children to a certain extent, such as asking questions about the plot in the book, or extending, so that children can maintain curiosity about the content and insist on reading.
In addition, at the beginning of the reading enlightenment for children, we can also choose some books with strong interactivity, so that children can play while reading, such as cave books, painting books, three-dimensional books, etc., are good choices.
3. Pay attention from simple to difficult
Children have just entered the sensitive period of reading, most of them have very limited ability, and they can't even figure out the basic meaning of many words, so it is very important to pay attention to the transition from simple to difficult.
When we help children develop reading habits, we can first choose some books with more picture content and simple and easy to understand vocabulary, as children become interested in reading, after having a certain reading foundation, we can appropriately increase the difficulty, choose books with stronger content and more words, help children understand more vocabulary, and improve expression ability.
4. Let the child read independently
After the child comes to the "reading sensitive period" for a period of time and masters a certain reading ability, we must appropriately let go and give the child more autonomy in reading.
For example, the choice of books, reading aloud, and deduction can involve children, so that children can decide which books they want to read, try to read and interpret alone, have a deeper sense of participation, and master the ability to read independently.
Crooked Mom Conclusion:
Books are the ladder of human progress, and if children can develop the habit of loving reading, it will be of great benefit to future development.
As parents, we must pay attention to seizing the child's "reading sensitive period" and establish reading habits for the child, and such a parent-child reading process is actually a way to accompany the child with high quality.
