With the development of science and technology, our lives are more or less linked to the Internet. Everyone says that the Internet is a double-edged sword, but the most headache is the increase in fragmented information.
I believe that everyone has gradually discovered that the most direct impact of fragmented information is everyone's long-form reading ability.
I used to be able to calm down and read, but now I don't want to read it all at once, even if it's only a few hundred words. This is still true for adults, let alone children who are not deeply involved in the world and lack self-control?
Gorky once said, "Books are the ladder of human progress." "But parents are anxious that their children would rather be immersed in some nutritious short videos of entertainment than spend a little time reading."
It is indeed a pity that people are reluctant to read at the golden age of learning to learn knowledge through reading.
What kind of ways should parents cultivate their children's interest in reading?
The first thing we have to solve is the problem of book selection
What books should children read? How do I choose a book?
I believe that many parents have also read a series of books such as "100 books that children must read" and "After reading these books, children have gained a lot", but they are still facing the difficult situation of choosing books for their children, so what books should children read?
In fact, there is no fixed answer, not that the recommended books are necessarily suitable for children, only the books that children are willing to read are the most suitable for children.
When choosing a book, parents can refer to the following:
When the child asks "why", it is the child's curiosity to burst, do not have to give the answer only, but take this opportunity to guide the child to explore on their own.
At this time, recommending books related to children can not only avoid a series of "that and why" questions for children, but also bury the seed of reading in children's consciousness, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
At the same time, if you also know nothing about the questions raised by your child, you can just read with your child and recharge yourself. Parent-child reading is more efficient.
If your child has an interest in TV/games, they can use this as a reference for choosing a book.
For example, if a child likes history games, he can recommend the corresponding history books or biographies related to them.
Interest is better than any other way. (The first time I took the initiative to ask for a book, it was because I watched "Doraemon", the protagonist read "Robinson Crusoe" and wanted to go rafting, which aroused interest and fell in love with reading from then on)
Pay attention to the age of the child. People often let children read famous books, of course, the reason why famous books are called famous books is worth reading. But it doesn't have to be the age of the child, not everyone is a genius, imagine letting a child under 10 years old chew on "One Hundred Years of Solitude", is it possible for him to understand?
Don't blindly think that as long as you read it, it is not suitable for children's books, read but can not understand, in fact, and did not read not much difference, but will discourage children's enthusiasm for reading.
Choosing books that children like, there is often a problem -
What if I read but can't remember it, and I can't insist on it?
Maybe the child made a reading plan with excitement, but the last one was not finished, and he finished a book with difficulty, and when he asked later, he found that he did not remember anything.
This is a very common phenomenon, after all, people's energy and memory are limited, we will also forget some knowledge that is not commonly used because of the passage of time, not to mention children who are still in the exploration stage of the world? In the face of this situation, you can refer to the following points:
Let your child understand the general content of the book on their own before reading. It doesn't sound easy, but it's actually quite simple, first look at the introduction and table of contents (the preface is actually very good).
The introduction and table of contents play the role of summary search, which can arouse the child's interest, but also help the child to draw an outline of the book in his mind. In this way, when reading again, the child can complete the outline on his own, which is also a second memory.
Get into the habit of taking reading notes.
Reading notes are not limited to excerpting and writing after reading, but anything related to the book can be recorded.
Including but not limited to: excerpting words, understanding the author, asking questions, recording feelings, extending, etc. Each book can be a new learning opportunity or a review opportunity.
