It is a good thing to realize the importance of picture books and to be willing to spend time with your children to read. However, many parents use the wrong way, not only wasting picture books, but also wasting time. The main thing is that it does not achieve the expected effect, and even makes the child resist the picture book.
It is undeniable that children who read picture books from an early age can indeed combine thousands of advantages. Because in the process of reading picture books, children's thinking ability, association and literacy and dialogue ability have been improved to varying degrees. In the future, it will be shown in life and study, and the perfect answer sheet will be delivered with facts.
Moreover, there are relevant institutions that have done research: children who read picture books from an early age have indeed performed much higher than children who do not read picture books.
What can surprise parents is that they spend a lot of time choosing picture books, and even take time to accompany them, but they can't attract their children's attention, which is a complete waste of time. In the end, it is because parents are somewhat idealistic and do not pay attention to the needs of their children.
Regarding reading picture books, parents may have been wrong from the beginning
Mistake one: An emotionless reading machine
From the beginning to the end, I will only read the whole text according to the picture book, without any emotion, and even the words are not so clear. This way of reading, I believe that no child will like, naturally can not achieve the benefits of reading. Like a reading machine, it is difficult to resonate with children, and even the idea of wanting to escape.
Mistake two: Forcing children to read and memorize
For the sake of the eminent people, some parents force their children to synchronize their memories and recite the great truths in the picture books. In the eyes of parents, these picture books are particularly educational, if they are memorized, they can not only show off in front of people, but also urge children to progress. Just want to say: children are not geniuses, they do not have the ability to never forget.
Mistake three: Don't focus on your child's thoughts
Even the right to choose picture books, parents are reluctant to delegate to their children, always feel that their vision and experience are not good, and the picture books selected are not good. Those picture books that parents feel are quite educational, and for their children, they play the piano to the cow, they will not have any interest at all, and naturally they will not be able to enter the mind.
Mistake four: Used as a word recognition tool
The saddest thing is that there is a type of parent who wants to use the power of picture books to let young children learn to recognize words and understand English. It can only be said that the parents' wishful thinking is a little too shrewd. The original intention of accompanying children to read picture books is to increase their insight and cultivate parent-child feelings, rather than to promote seedlings.
In life, there should be many parents who have high hopes for picture books and are adopting these wrong ways of reading. Even if the intention is good, if it is used in the wrong way, it will still cause unpredictable harm. In particular, parents who want to advance education may plant the seeds of resistance in their children's hearts, so that they will have unnecessary fear and avoidance of literacy and learning.
Regarding reading picture books, this approach should be taken
1. Invest in emotions, in imitation and play
The biggest advantage of picture books is that they combine patterns and words at the same time to facilitate the learning of illiterate children. When parents read, they must invest sincere feelings, but also learn to imitate and role play. Use colloquial reading to attract your child's attention and immerse him in it.
Interacting with children is the easiest way to increase their memory. Consulting with each other, playing different roles in the picture book, and then using the tone of the character to dialogue, this is the most amazing place to read the picture book.
2, associate life, the habit into the bone
The best education is to combine picture books and life to guide children to expand their imagination. In the future, children will not be limited by the problems in front of them in learning. In fact, art comes from life, and the content on picture books is the same, such as flowers and plants in spring and learning in winter.
As the "teacher" of the child, parents should be worth the trip and truly assume their own responsibilities. We must learn to guide, and we can stimulate the child's interest by asking questions, so that he can think and answer unscrupulously.
3. Repeat more and truly exert the power of picture books
The same picture book, after reading twice, parents are reluctant to read to their children, this idea is not right, and even some waste of picture books. You know, reading at different times and in different moods will have different feelings, and the same is true for children.
If you want to maximize the value of the picture book, repeat the same picture book over and over again until the child is no longer interested. Because of the high-quality picture books, children can have different gains and understand the benefits of reading.
Write at the end: You know, reading is a kind of enjoyment, especially parent-child reading, but also a way to enhance emotions and enjoy knowledge. Therefore, do not use reading as a teaching material, and do not integrate various big truths, but carefully enjoy the content of picture books.
