"There are fields that do not cultivate the warehouses, and there are books that do not read the children and grandchildren are stupid." With a history of 5,000 years of civilization, the Chinese nation has always loved to read, love to learn and inherit the nation, we have "tens of millions of dollars, no history of reading" "belly has poetry and bookish self-glory, the most is the fragrance of books can go far", there are more chiseled walls to steal light, hanging beam thorns and other allusions to inspire people from time to time.
As President Xi Jinping said in an exclusive interview with a Reporter from Russian Television: "Reading can keep people's thoughts alive, let people get wisdom and inspiration, and let people nourish the spirit of grandeur." Reading has become a way of life for us. ”
The reading habits of every adult actually have a lot to do with the cultivation of reading habits in childhood. The child is a blank sheet of paper, innocent, pure, full of any possibility. If you can get a good reading training and develop the habit of loving reading, it will benefit your child for life. If you want your child to love reading, study seriously, have ideals, and have dreams, then take him to read from an early age, as long as your child takes the first step in reading, it will also open an important step in life.
First, open the picture book reading, from the first day of the child's birth.
To let children develop good reading habits, they must first start parent-child reading. Soviet Pavlov once said, "The education of a baby begins on the third day of birth, two days late." "The same is true of the cultivation of children's reading habits. The earlier parent-child reading starts, the better, and even the replacement of prenatal education with picture book reading during pregnancy should be promoted.
Since 1992, in order to let every child start parent-child reading and prepare for the cultivation of children's reading habits, the government's public institutions will carry out health examinations for infants under the age of one, attach picture books to babies, and carry out relevant training for mothers to read picture books happily. In 2001, Japan also joined the public welfare activity of giving picture books to infants and young children and reading picture books together; moreover, this activity has continued until now. The significance of providing picture books like babies is that children's reading has been transformed from government recommendation to necessity, and the opening time of parent-child reading has been directly advanced to less than one year old. To date, more than 6.5 million infants and young children in Japan have benefited from reading activities.
In the mainland, picture book reading between parents and children still stays in the need for children to learn life skills, develop living habits, improve cognition and promote quality growth. But we should improve our cognition, let picture books enter the lives of infants and young children, become an indispensable part of life, let children deal with "pictures and words" in early childhood, and start a reading life is far more important than cultivating cognition.
If a child has memorized the characteristics of words and pictures in infancy, is it more logical to become a child who loves to read in the future?!
Before the age of 13, children use their hearing to learn and feel love. Open parent-child reading, is to let parents read picture books to infants and young children to listen, in the beautiful language of picture books, through the parents' language into love notes, echoing in the time of parent-child coexistence, parents and children can feel the same happiness and warm love. The central idea of parent-child reading picture books is not to read, but to love and share.
Second, open the picture book reading, action is greater than content.
As we all know, children's reading and book selection is very important, graded reading must be appropriate for age, suitable for children's psychological growth, so it is easier for children to fall in love with reading, and then develop good reading habits. However, for parent-child reading books within one year of age, there can be no restrictions, because infants and young children do not have the ability to understand, parent-child reading is more important to convey the language of love, the temperature of love, as long as the language of picture books is beautiful, the content is positive, it is OK.
For children's books that infants and young children can improve their cognition and play with, there are still requirements, try to choose smaller, slightly harder cardboard books, hole books, flip books, special-shaped books or cloth books to avoid the danger of children nibbling. Parents must pay attention to this!
For babies within six months, parents don't need to worry about their child's psychological problems, and the action to start reading is greater than the content of reading. It is not so much a reading behavior as a parent-child movement behavior. Parents can point all the animals and objects in the picture book to the child one by one, or imitate the sound of the animal with the language of love, or even hold the child's hand to touch and grab the picture book, which is the correct behavior for the child to start reading.
Parents must insist on reading with the baby, the child within six months may not be able to respond, but the hearing system of the baby over six months has kept up with the rhythm of the reader, and even imitates the reader's voice. Whether parents put their children in the crib to read picture books to them, or put them on their laps to read to them, as long as we insist on "feeding" the children with stories, books will eventually become one of their favorite toys, and we can also harvest a happy baby who likes to read and loves learning.
To sum up, the correct way to read picture books is not to start at the age of three, let alone from the age of four, but the sooner the better. Give babies and toddlers to start reading, action is more important than content! As long as parents read the words in their own language, they will flow into the children's hearts like lullabies, so that children are closer to their parents and closer to books, and the parent-child reading experience of childhood must be unforgettable childhood memories for the child's entire life growth.
