Chinese teacher reminds: Wrong reading habits lead to a decline in children's grades!

Whispers say:

We often bring up the topic that a child's reading ability determines academic performance.

We advocate that children should read more, and we have also pushed some suggestions for children's reading.

Now teachers and parents pay more and more attention to their children's reading, but with the growth of children, many teachers and parents have also found that new problems about children's reading have emerged.

Why does my child read so many books

The results did not improve

"Reading more, accumulating more" does help children improve their grades, but there is one premise - the correct reading style and habits.

In many reading activities, as well as parents and teachers' feedback on children's reading, we found some problems: some children, like to read, also spent a lot of time reading, but the reading effect is not good.

After digging deeper, we found that it turned out that they had developed the wrong reading habit.

1. Wrong reading habits - skipping reading

We often use "one eye and ten lines" to describe a person's reading speed is very fast, but this is the reading ability trained in long-term reading. If you find that children in the early childhood read "ten lines at a glance", then you need to pay more attention to whether the child is really "reading".

When many children read, the eyes will unconsciously go down, that is, the content of the previous line has not yet been read, and the eyes have moved to the next line of content. That's it – jump reading.

This kind of reading, the book seems to be "read" finished, but it is not really reading, because the text is only visually passed, the content of the text expression is not transmitted to the brain, this phenomenon is the children's reading aloud into silent reading period often appear symptoms, however, some parents or teachers are difficult to find this problem.

Tips

How to diagnose whether a child is reading by leaps?

1. Read a few pages with your child about the book they are reading;

2. Measure the speed at which your child reads;

3. Let the child recall what he read;

4. Confirm your child's understanding of the content of the article by asking questions.

2. Wrong reading habits – robot syndrome

Many parents will feel very satisfied when they see their children "reading", and they believe that as long as their children read, they will definitely gain.

Is this really the case?

Have parents ever encountered this situation – when a child finishes reading a book, you ask him, what is the book about? He said he didn't know.

When a child finishes reading a book, he says it's too hard to read. You ask him, where can't you read it? He said he couldn't read anywhere.

If these problems arise, there may be two reasons: one is that the book that the child reads is really too difficult to fit his age group, and for this situation, it is generally good to change to a book that meets the age group of the child; the other is that the child suffers from the "robot syndrome" of reading.

What is "robotic syndrome"?

Read mechanically like a charged robot, unable to grasp the contents of the book, but able to read it all the time.

In fact, children with robot syndrome are almost blank in their minds when reading, do not know the content of the book, but wooden and mechanically turn the pages backwards, and after turning the book, they say that they have "finished" the book.

You can imagine what a "terrible" reading habit this is!

How to diagnose if a child has robot syndrome?

1. When reading, there is no idea, alone in a daze;

2. Although I keep turning the book, I can't even remember the contents of the previous page;

3. They are obviously asking questions about the contents of the book, but they can't think of this content in the book.

Above we talked about two common wrong reading habits, but most children can not find the problem on their own, so at this time, parents and teachers are still needed to carefully observe the child's reading situation and ask the child questions to diagnose.

If parents and teachers can find out their children's reading problems in time, they can solve the problems. Now what parents and teachers need to do is to pay more attention to the child's reading situation, to see what books he is reading, whether he can understand the contents of the books, whether there are reading difficulties...

In the child's learning and growth, parents and teachers are most concerned about the child's life, health and safety, that is, the child's academic performance. Parents and teachers have also found that many children have very good grades in the first and second grades, and in the third grade, their grades begin to change, and even the grades of other students in the same class are very different. At this time, have you ever thought that this is actually the ability to read "obstruct from it"?

Developing good reading habits can improve reading ability, and the level of reading ability will directly affect the quality of children's academic performance.

Reading habits that can improve children's academic performance

1. Insist that reading is the foundation

In order to cultivate good reading habits in children, it is a very important foundation to insist on reading. It is futile to talk about "reading habits" aside from "reading", but how can we "cultivate habits" if there is no "reading"?

How do you keep reading? One is to stimulate children's interest in reading, and the other is to buy suitable books for children. After having an interest in reading, I read my favorite book, and I am once again aroused by books with a higher interest in reading. It's a virtuous circle and the key to keeping your child reading.

2. Purposeful reading is the guarantee

How can we maximize our children's reading? The answer: purposeful reading.

Parents and teachers will find that when we have a purpose, we walk faster and take fewer detours, and the same is true for reading (except for some books).

For example:

If the child wants to learn the method of "character description" from a certain book/article, then when he reads some character description segments, he will subconsciously pay attention to and remember, so that when a book/article is read, the segments and methods described by those characters will remain deeply in their minds.

In this way, before the child reads, the child needs to be clear about the purpose of his reading. What do you need to learn from reading? Or is it just casual reading? If you want to learn a certain kind of knowledge, skills, and homework skills from reading, then the child must read with these purposes of his own.

"Insisting on reading" and "purposeful reading" are things that parents and teachers need to pay attention to before cultivating their children's reading habits, so how should children cultivate reading habits and what reading habits should they cultivate when reading?

Reading habit one: reading while thinking

Confucius said, "To learn without thinking is to be reckless." ”

If you just read without thinking, just memorize by rote without understanding the reading content, you can't learn and use it, and even if your memory is good, your grades will not be too good. Therefore, children should think more when reading, and they can read with questions.

Reading habit two: multi-circle annotation when reading

Do not write or write, do not read, when reading, you need to see, mouth, heart, hand, brain.

Parents and teachers should remind children to pay attention to the circle annotations when reading, so that one can maintain the child's attention when reading, and will not be distracted while reading; second, after drawing the key points and difficulties in the circle, when the child reads the same confused place again, he can better and faster recall their previous views and experiences, causing reading attention.

Reading habit three: make good use of query tools

When we read, we always encounter some difficult to understand. Children's reading accumulation and knowledge reserves are limited, and they may encounter more difficulties when reading.

So what to do? Do you need parents and teachers to help solve reading confusion every time?

No.

"It is better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish", parents and teachers should teach them how to solve problems instead of helping them solve problems every time.

Let children realize that when they encounter incomprehensible places when they read, they can use tools to query and understand, such as using reference books, the Internet, etc. When children consult the materials themselves, they can see more textual materials, which is also a reading process and a learning process.

Reading habit four: learn to give up books

Sometimes "persistence" is important, sometimes "giving up" is more important.

In the process of children's reading, it is inevitable to encounter "books that cannot be read", it may be that the books are too difficult and not suitable for the child's current age, or it may be that the children have no interest in reading the book and are forced to read by their parents.

At this time, parents and teachers need to understand their children and be tolerant of them.

Any of us have things we don't want to do, food we don't want to eat...

If you were asked to read a book you didn't like, it would have been painful for you to be forced to read it, right? Therefore, we should allow children to give up reading, and even encourage them to give up reading. You can put this "jerky and difficult" and "funless" book for the time being, and let the child read the book that he can understand and is interested in reading. And the book that was temporarily abandoned, perhaps after a while the child is willing to read it and can read it.

Reading habit five: make a good record of reading

Just as you go to the bank to deposit money, your child's reading needs to be stored.

Although you go to the bank again and again to deposit money, in the end you only need to look at the "account balance" and you will know how much you have deposited. Reading is the same and also requires having a "reading record" like the banking system.

Every time a child finishes reading a book or an article, let him learn to record it: the name of the book/article read, the number of words read (number of pages), the reading experience, and so on.

What's the use of that? A sense of accomplishment!

When a child reaches a certain age, he will find that he has read so many books and will have a very sense of accomplishment, which will drive him to read more books and will make him insist on reading. In addition, he can also analyze his reading data in his "reading passbook" to understand which type of books he reads more/less, so as to adjust his reading structure.

Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, the cultivation of reading habits, is not an overnight thing, which requires a lot of time and attempts, but also requires the help of parents and teachers. Therefore, let's not worry, take your time, the towering trees are growing out one by one every year.

Children are reading and learning, and we parents and teachers must also learn to wait, waiting for children to grow slowly and become better. The whisper teacher hopes that all children can love to read, read more, develop good reading habits, and improve their academic performance.
