Hello and Happy Monday!
Children really adapt to a new habit very quickly.
Recently, I have been sunny and have been taking care of one by my father.
I accompanied her to change her pajamas before going to bed yesterday.
She said that we don't have to change our pajamas lately, just take off the little vest outside.
I boiled an egg for her in the morning, and she said that we've been eating two eggs lately.
Today Dad started to work, just the two of us were at home, and suddenly took out the footwash basin in the afternoon: "We have been soaking our feet in the afternoon recently."
These days were the first time she had been alone with her father for so long, and it was also the week she spent the most time alone.
Because Dad has to take care of the two of us, he also has to work, and he is also very busy.
So a lot of time, I was left alone, which provided me with a small observation sample.
When Dad is busy, Yihua spends most of his time reading books.
Lately, I've been worried about her eyes, I haven't gone out in the sun much, and I read books for a long time every day.
One day I saw that she hadn't moved all morning, just outside my house, roasting the heater, and reading a copy of "Bambi" in one breath.
If children love to read + the home is full of high-quality books, then the children's reading time is a very high-quality alone time.
Not only can you learn knowledge, but you can also develop concentration.
We all know the benefits of reading, no more, this article shares with you four ideas for building a library at home.
First, there are stories and popular science.
Let's take a look at the bookcase at home.
If 80% are story books and there are few popular science books, then it is better to consciously increase the proportion of popular science books after that.
Because popular science books exercise children's deep reading ability.
Let's try it for ourselves.
The following is a clip of "Dream of Red Mansions":
The following is a passage from the popular science book "Surviving in Viruses - An Evolutionary Explanation":
In the case that our cognition is fine, understanding the paragraph in the popular science book is more laborious than the dream of the Red Mansion, right?
"Dream of Red Mansions" We can read it while listening to the music and remember the storyline.
In this popular science book, you have to concentrate and focus on the words in the book to understand prokaryotes, chromosomes, eukaryotes and so on.
It's the same with kids.
Looking at the story, you can swallow dates.
But popular science books can't be seen in depth, and you must read them in depth to understand what it says.
If children are storybooks, there is a lack of material to cultivate their deep reading.
So from this point of view, children need popular science books.
Second, there are books in all disciplines.
When we buy books for our children, we may involuntarily buy our own favorite genres.
For example, if you like history, you will buy a lot of history books for your children.
I like biology, so I buy a lot of books on plants and animals for my children.
But when building a library for children, it is best to have books in all subjects.
Just like we eat, for the sake of good health, we eat a little, and the nutrition is balanced.
As children grow up, they develop the type of books they like.
But at the beginning, the choices we provide to children are as diverse as possible.
History, geography, biology, art, creativity, mechanics, physics, chemistry, mathematics, etc., all consciously match some.
In the end, the type of books that children read should be closer to the T-shape.
That horizontal represents a wide range of reading.
That vertical represents some of your favorite fields, read deeply.
Third, for the same theme, you can buy more books from different angles.
It is convenient for children to understand one thing from multiple angles.
For example, the Forbidden City, this is from an architectural point of view:
This set is from the perspective of the emperor's life:
This set is about the culturally symbolic animals in the Forbidden City:
Different books about the Forbidden City are read together so that children can understand it more comprehensively.
Fourth, the depth of the book gradually increases.
For books on the same topic, the difficulty can slowly increase.
The most typical are ancient poetry books.
At the beginning, it was a simple recitation of ancient poems, only the meaning of ancient poems:
Transition to ancient poetry + the story of the poet, the background of writing the poem:
This also makes it easier for children to learn more and more.
The same goes for the others.
For example, when I was a child, I loved volcanoes.
The picture book I bought at the beginning was simple:
Just know the simplest, there is a large fireball inside the body of the volcano.
After the eruption, the small animals on the mountain, the rivers, the small trees, all destroyed.
Because she was very young at that time, it was easier to understand from the beginning of the story class.
Later transitioned to this "Volcano":
Speaking of volcanoes around the world:
The state of the volcano at the time of the eruption:
And Hello! Science also has a volcano book in it, which I can't find.
Then there is this set of upper knowledge of astronomy and geography, in which "Deep Underground" talks about the internal structure of the earth:
Finally, the ultimate popular science DK:
The structure of the earth is described in great detail.
Buying books for children is actually like building a knowledge system for them.
In addition to looking at the ranking of such websites, you can also consciously use these four ideas to "design":
Full variety;
Wide range;
Good quality;
There is a gradient.
