When children are young, they know very few words, and if they want to read, they need parents to read them and listen.
When the child is a child, the parents and the child read together, which is called parent-child reading, when the child knows more words, can hold the book to read, the child will enter the stage of independent reading.
Many parents have actually been looking forward to their children's independent reading, in fact, parent-child reading is also an indispensable process for children in the process of practicing reading. When parents and children read, children can't meet words they don't know, parents can help solve them, which is also to help children contact more books and expand the scope of children's reading.
And when parent-child reading, parents can also extend communication with children for the content of books, which can not only help children pay attention to various details in books, but also develop a better reading mode.
What options can parents choose to help their children transition from parent-child reading to independent reading?
Some parents feel that their children have begun to recognize words, and they can read books by themselves, and they think that this is also the acceptance method for word recognition. In fact, when children first start to learn to recognize words, because of their limited ability, books are still difficult for children, or they need the help of parents. If the child puts a lot of experience on the dictionary, trying to understand the storyline will delay a lot of time, and it will also lead to the child's lack of a lot of interest in reading.
Therefore, in the beginning, it should still be based on parent-child reading. Independent reading requires two conditions: the child has a certain amount of literacy; the child is interested in books. Accumulating a certain amount of literacy can help children read more fluently, and children who are interested in books will naturally take the initiative to open them and look at them, and will also overcome some difficulties encountered in reading.
If you want to guide your child to read independently, you can try these tips:
1 role reading
When parent-child reading, it is necessary to focus on parents, and independent reading needs to rely on the children themselves. If these two models change too quickly and too bluntly, it will affect the child's interest in reading. You can choose the fairy tale book that the child likes, and the child's role to read aloud, this way of reading is like playing a game, the child will not resist, but also to achieve the desire to let the child open to read.
2 Segmented reading
Some stories because there is not a lot of dialogue, most of them are narrative-based, you can choose to read with the child in sections, so that one person and one paragraph, you can gradually let the child increase the number of paragraphs to read, and the children can read more and more books.
3 Leave the suspense behind
If you choose those adventure storybooks, you can read a part of it to your child first, and then read it tomorrow. Children will naturally be curious about what will happen behind them, so that children will want to look at themselves, children can already recognize some words, plus there are illustration aids, slowly children can read books on their own, so that the purpose of letting children read independently has been achieved.
In fact, independent reading does not take age as the boundary, some children begin to read parent-child reading at the age of one, then he reaches the age of six, there are five years of reading age, some children are five years old to start contacting parent-child reading, then he will have a one-year reading age when he is six years old. When formally preparing to give their children the transition between these two reading modes, parents need to reflect on how many days their children have been reading and how many picture books their children have been exposed to.
Children from parent-child reading transition to independent reading in the first need to change is the way of reading, the attention to the picture to the text, many parents may be accustomed to using exquisite picture books to maintain children's interest in reading, but when the child enters the stage of early childhood articulation, the way of reading will change greatly, which has new requirements for children's reading interest.
At this stage, choosing the right book is also very critical, the child can not immediately transition from picture books to chapter books, so it is necessary to choose the right book in a timely manner, here we say that the appropriateness not only refers to the child's age and reading preferences, to see what type of books the child likes, in the independent reading of the time to give priority to this type of books, children for their own interest in the books will be more willing to read.
