When it comes to reading, most parents know the importance of reading to their children, and the impact of reading on language disciplines is the most intuitive, from vocabulary to language sense to language logic, etc., which are inseparable from a large number of reading accumulation and reading habits. It can be said that without reading, it is almost impossible to learn a good language. Not only that, but reading also affects subjects other than languages.
It's one thing to know that reading is important, it's another thing to know that children can develop the habit of reading. The latter is the focus of our education.
But what is embarrassing and disturbing is that many preschool children lack patience in reading, and sometimes even if the old mother herself goes down to accompany the reading, it still can't change the fact that the child lacks patience in reading. Children either find reading boring, or they find it too difficult, and there are many other reasons.
There are many reasons why preschoolers cannot immerse themselves in the world of reading, but the most fundamental reason is that they have not cultivated their interest in reading.
01 Children do not enjoy the joy of reading
It is human nature to love to enjoy pleasure, and the same is true of children. If reading doesn't become a pleasure, it's hard to stick to it for a long time, often halfway through.
In reality, children cannot enjoy the joy of reading for the following reasons:
First, the reading content breaks through the upper limit of children's comprehension ability. The solution is to tailor a bibliographic list for the child's actual reading ability to suit their reading level; second, the reading content is not on the child's interest point. The solution is to cultivate the stage of reading interest, try to guide the child to read according to the child's reading interest, and then expand the child's reading after the child's reading interest is formed. Simply put, it is mainly based on the cultivation of interest, and then on the breadth and depth of reading. Third, parents have made reading a learning task for their children. The solution is to try to avoid reading as a learning task, such as taking reading notes, writing reading experience, etc., which will not only lose the original intention of reading, but also increase the child's reading burden.
02 Encourage children to express or repeat what they see in reading
Preschool children have some reading performances that seem to make people very anxious and worried, such as quickly turning books, pretending to read, talking to themselves while turning over books, and even small actions, etc., which are actually a very normal performance, and we parents do not need to rush to correct him.
This is because in the process of flipping through books, children need to be stimulated and transmitted by their own sensory systems in order to exercise language expression and thinking skills, and to connect the story content and pictures in the book. As long as we consciously cultivate our children's interest in reading, the above worrying reading performances of children will gradually disappear.
The solution is that we take the time to join the parent-child reading process, encourage children to express or repeat what they see, so that the world in the book becomes a part of the child's world, we may play the role of characters or animals in the book with the child, so that the child has a more intuitive feeling about the book. Children can feel the fun and beauty of reading, which undoubtedly helps to cultivate preschool children's interest in reading.
03 Develop and broaden your child's reading hobby
Every child has different reading preferences. If we find that preschoolers lack motivation, self-awareness, and concentration in reading, then this is usually because reading books is not appetizing the child, that is, the child is not interested.
Of course, we can neither unprincipledly accommodate children's unreasonable reading preferences, allowing children to choose only the books they love to read or even worthless books to see; nor can we deprive children of reasonable reading hobbies in the name of learning.
The solution is to often take children to bookstores, libraries, participate in reading salons, face-to-face reading sharing, etc., so as to develop and broaden children's reading hobbies and further enhance the breadth and depth of reading.
epilogue
As parents, we should not feel too anxious because our children lack patience in reading. For preschoolers, developing a keen interest in reading is always a top priority.
What we have to do is to help preschoolers solve the obstacles in the reading process and guide them to truly love reading!
