No matter which parenting model is chosen, or no matter what kind of parenting style can be given to the child, parents must not be stingy in reading.
The People's Daily once published an article reminding parents to encourage their children to read a lot according to their interests.
In fact, for primary and secondary school students, especially primary school students, "reading a lot" is not a matter of icing on the cake in spare time, but a real learning need!
What exactly does the People's Daily article say, and why does it say that "the grades dropped in junior high school may be the reading accounts owed by primary schools"?

More books, less reading? Is this the case in your home?
Now parents generally attach importance to cultivating children's reading habits, many children have their own small bookshelves, but if you ask a child whether the books on the shelves have been read, then the answer will disappoint parents nine times out of ten, from the beginning to the end of the book carefully read only a few, can read repeatedly even fewer.
In other words, the amount of children's reading and the amount of books they have are disproportionate, which means that parents have a serious misalignment when choosing books for their children.
Books that parents think are good, children are not interested; books that children like, parents think are not worth reading.
My view on this question is that the choice is left to the child, and the child likes to read and read whatever, as long as it fits the child's age group.

Give the right to choose books to your children
In this regard, many friends are difficult to accept, they said: "What do children know? How can they be allowed to choose for themselves? What if I read a bad book? ”
In fact, the most powerful voice in the question of "what books to read" is the child himself.
No matter how good the books parents choose for their children, if the children don't like it, they can't read it, or it's useless.
What's more, the so-called parents who choose books for their children have now become "followers" who buy books according to sales rankings and website reviews, and may not really be suitable for children.

Developing a focused reading habit is paramount
For the growth of children, the important thing is not to read anything, but to cultivate a good habit of accompanying books, and this habit can only be cultivated through the cyclical process of reading one book from beginning to end and reading another book.
Reading requires patience, and if the story in the book cannot grasp the child's heart, with the child's concentration, the book will soon be thrown aside and no longer read.
So, our goal is to develop concentration and patience through reading, qualities that are worth much more than what a book conveys.
In fact, one of the most important qualities that determine a child's future life and career achievements is focus and patience.
Understanding this truth, parents no longer have to worry about what books their children read, but should focus on cultivating their children's concentration and patience.
Only the books that the child is interested in can be read carefully and patiently.
The sense of accomplishment brought about by reading a book in its entirety will also make children more confident and will not feel afraid because the book is too thick.

"Quantity" is more important than "quality"
For improving reading ability, sometimes "quantity" is more important than "quality", only when the quantity goes up, the reading ability will have a qualitative improvement.
The so-called reading ability is essentially memory and comprehension.
Just as muscle growth must be promoted by repeatedly lifting heavy objects during fitness, only a lot of reading can stimulate the brain to master reading skills and process the input and output of information more efficiently.
Therefore, it is extremely important to read a lot during adolescence, so that memory and comprehension will lay a solid foundation.
Therefore, parents should encourage their children to read a lot according to their own interests, without worrying too much about what to read.
The younger the child, the higher the requirements for the interest of reading materials, at this time, if parents blindly emphasize the need to read good books and read famous books, it is easy to make children think that reading is so boring, it is difficult to really establish reading habits.
On the contrary, take the child to the bookstore or library, let the child choose at will, as long as the number of visits is enough, the child will eventually find out where his interests lie, and the momentum of reading will be greatly enhanced.
The Jews had a tradition of coating their children's first books with honey and making them think from an early age that reading was a sweet thing, and that was the purpose.
Reading, or a little willful.

The focus of primary school is not on grades, but on reading
Parents often ask: My child's primary school results are very good, often test 100 points, why to junior high school, especially the second and third grades, suddenly left behind? In fact, primary school grades are "deceptive", and the poor grades in junior high school are likely to be because parents ignore the cultivation of reading ability when children are in primary school.
The primary and secondary school stage (especially the primary school stage) is the key period for the formation of children's good habits, and it is also the golden period for the development of children's various abilities, the most important of which is the development of learning ability, which seems to be complex learning ability, but can be learned through the cultivation of another ability, which is "reading ability".
In general, the ability to read requires two conditions to develop:
The first is continuity and coherence, that is, the cultivation of reading habits: it is necessary to have a fixed reading time every day, and you can not like to read, do not like to read, so that there will be no good habits;
The second is the accumulation of reading, without the accumulation of quantity, there is no qualitative improvement.
See how important reading is!
You know, no matter the boys and girls, no matter how poor or rich, please be willing to invest in the children's bookshelf.

The reading account owed by the primary school will be exposed sooner or later
A child's intelligence, like a seed, requires conditions to germinate and grow.
This condition is the way to play with a lot of reading and using your brain.
If a child never reads a good book, or even a book of more than 100,000 words, but devotes a lot of time to school textbooks and a lot of homework, then the child's natural intelligence is starved to death.
Only by reading a large number of books, reading a large number of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign books, and extensively dabbling in encyclopedia books can wisdom continue to grow and eventually form a strong development ability.
Many parents attach great importance to their children's grades in their children's primary school stage, and they are reluctant to let their children spend more time reading and playing, thinking that it is a waste of time.
However, when children are as malnourished as seedlings and lack the strength to grow, and when they are weak in the middle school stage, parents will only complain about how their children are, but they do not know that it is they who have single-handedly caused the child's "short-lived high score" and "wisdom malnutrition".
Therefore, the primary school stage must let children calm down, do not blindly pursue the level of scores, but should focus on the child's basic development and ability training, help children develop good reading habits, in order to really do more with less, so that children can benefit for life.
