My baby doesn't seem to be interested in reading picture books, and every time it's a quick page turn.
A child likes to read the same book many times, is it useful to read it repeatedly with his interests?
Preschool to cultivate the baby's reading habits, 80% of parents may encounter similar problems, in the parent-child reading matter at first easy to be frustrated or difficult, suspect that they bought a bunch of expensive "bricks" to go home as a decoration.
Developing the habit of reading is one of the competitiveness that can affect and achieve children's life.
This issue shares two parent-child reading methods to cultivate children's reading habits in a relaxed reading experience.
Mobilize the five senses and awaken the baby's interest in reading
Interest is the premise for children to develop and continue to adhere to the habit of reading. Before children learn to understand the contents of the book, interest is also the first.
If your baby doesn't like to read picture books, think about whether your reading style can't attract your baby?
For example, reading according to the script, reading from the beginning to the end, not allowing the baby to disrupt, not mobilizing the five senses to increase interest, no interaction with actions and language?
An effective and simple way to awaken your baby's interest in reading is to guide your child to turn the book, poke holes in the book, pay attention to the pictures in the book, use exaggerated expressions and actions, quote elephant words, and imitate the sounds of animals to attract the baby's attention.
I still remember the first time I accompanied Xiaobao to watch the "National Geographic Children's Encyclopedia" series (originally prepared for Dabao), I did not talk so complicated, every time I turned a page, I pointed to the pattern and said, what is this animal and what it is doing. When I saw a bear, I learned how to call a bear.
As a result, the second time we read the same book, Xiao Bao pointed to a bear inside, learned to shout "Wow", and accurately learned my hand movements at that time.
After reading the picture book, he could remember and feedback the content, which was also what he was interested in at the time.
Sometimes he would turn two pages and say "OKAY", and I wouldn't force him to read it from beginning to end, but I would have to interact with him on the two pages he was interested in, improvising and expanding the content.
This is also the second point to be shared, how to extend more interactive content in repeated reading?
Repetitive reading, repetitive learning of intellectual gymnastics
The child reads the same book repeatedly, which means that the baby is interested in that book, and reading it repeatedly is like a repetitive learning of intellectual gymnastics, the wider and broader the reading, the more deeply read.
Why do children like to read the same book over and over again?
From the perspective of adults, the content is the same, but the baby reads the book not to look at the whole, but to pay attention to the part.
Even if parents read the same content page by page every time, the baby draws different content feedback in each repeated reading, and gradually understands and matches the language information in the parents' mouth and the information in the picture book.
Repeatedly reading the same picture book, parents are more and more "not interested", do not know where to start?
We can guide the baby to pay attention to the different patterns in the book and extend different contents;
You can also use the "memory questioning method" and "understanding questioning method" to mobilize the baby's thinking, help yourself increase the language interaction content, and accompany the baby to play the value of 3,000 yuan in 30 picture books.
Recently with the two babies repeatedly read a picture book about the bear to send the moon birthday gift, 19 months of Xiao Bao although the pronunciation is not accurate, but when you open the picture book, you will point to the corresponding pattern and say: "Moon, rowing, bear."
When he focused on "rowing," I improvised and said, "Is the bear going to row a boat to find the moon?" You see, it has to go through the woods after rowing, and wow, these trees are so tall."
When I read it again last night, I found that I had ignored the stars around the moon and the reflection of the moon on the lake, so I pointed to the shining stars and the reflection of the moon, extending different contents.
Even Dabao, who has been able to retell the whole story, thinks about asking, "Why do you see the moon in the water?"
What picture books are you reading repeatedly?

My baby is now eight months old, especially "like" picture books, every time I take it out, I love to pat on the book, passing by the place where the picture book is placed at home, the small hand is also shaking, it seems very happy. And will be divided into preferences, especially like the "Peppa Pig" series of books.
@Sissi
"My Emotional Little Monster" Chinese version, and at the age of 3, I liked to read it over and over again, and the content can be completely repeated. After understanding, you can clearly distinguish emotions, for example, when I am a little angry, he will tell me, Mom, you call this anger. Lie on your own bed and tell us he calls this calm. A child cried, and he asked me why my child was sad?

Before I was 2 years old, I loved "Ants and Watermelons" the most, and recently I loved "My Day of Yelling".
@Whisper
The baby will now understand picture books, but the picture books that are particularly loved are almost a stage by stage, last month I especially loved Suzuki's collection of "Slide" and "Swing", this month suddenly fell in love with the late spring to see the husband, last month also had to read several biscuits every day before going to bed, this month I feel more like "National Geographic"? When the little moon age must be turned over every day, the little bear is very busy, and has become a rainbow rabbit nursery rhyme that must be heard every day, watching the baby grow and change little by little, it is really surprising and happy.

Just turned 4 years old, you must read a few books every night before going to bed, or you don't sleep. Recently, I was watching "Pete The Cat" and "Edmund and Its Friends" repeatedly, these two sets of picture books have been watched for more than a year, and I can't get tired of watching them, when I first started watching, I watched them for more than two months, and then I asked to see them every once in a while. Occasionally he was interested, would tell me, and had recently been very interested in words, pointing to the words on the cover and reading them one by one. In fact, he didn't recognize these words, but he remembered the names of each book, and they corresponded to the readings.
@Mrs. Chen
Curiosity Reveal Series, busy construction sites and other books, are hard page-turning books, children can't get tired of reading, and every time they turn the pages, they have new discoveries.
@Binglin
"New Things on The Street of Teeth", every time you take the initiative to ask to see it after eating sugar, never tired, happy to do it.
@Amy
Around the age of 3, I especially like the little firefighter of the Bear Is Busy series. This set of picture books was introduced when she was very young, because it was a picture book of the push and pull series, and when she was young, she was interested in pushing and pulling, turning and turning. Until she was close to the age of 3, our family choreographed a stage play for one of the stories, the little firefighter, so that she loved this book from then on, looping 100 times a day, and after telling it, she had to act several times before going to sleep.
Write at the end
"Books are the ladder of human progress", good reading habits need to be cultivated step by step, and not looking for shortcuts is the best shortcut.
For 0-3-year-old babies, it is more important than the rich choice of picture books, so that they can learn to turn books, understand books, fall in love with reading, and develop the habit of reading.
The focus of parent-child reading is to mobilize the baby's reading interest and extend the interaction along the baby's interest content.
