Friends around me asked me, how did my daughter read independently? How do you get into the habit of reading books every day? How did you teach her to read? Am I a big fan of reading? So what about reading with your kids every day?
In fact, I didn't like to read before I had children!!! Including when I was studying, the most annoying thing was reading!! I remember that when I was a child, there were no books at home, and the titles I could remember were "Thirty-Six Plans", "Cultural Journey", "Book of Poetry", "Zhou Yi", "Golden Age", "Three Hundred Poems of Tang Dynasty", and "History". My sister has a very good grade, these books are bought by my sister, I think the books she read should be good, I didn't turn them over until I was in high school... I remember reading the magazines Readers and Youth Digest the most, and once a month, my reading notes are basically excerpts from these two magazines. Seeing some beautiful articles, it is like reading my mood, and I can't wait to copy them down! Probably this is the habit of copying, my Chinese score will not be too bad... I've always known the importance of reading, so after having children, I don't want children to be as lazy and don't like to read like me...
So, from the first birthday of the child, we began to read parent-child. Every day before going to bed, half an hour of stories is our habit of not moving, when the child is younger, to show the daughter cloth books, color cards, picture cognitive books. After the child recognizes the common sense of life and things, the child reads the enlightenment book of infants and young children, and can touch the perception and turn over the hole book.
Since about the age of two, we have been reading picture book stories together, mainly looking at some pictures, there are few big character picture books, basically I read it to listen, she looks at the picture herself, she asks me to answer the form to carry out. I generally read according to the content of the book, will not add too much to their own guidance, mainly want to train children to see pictures, think for themselves, after all, children and adults see the beauty, cognition is not the same. You will find that a book she will make you read a dozen times...
Every day after that, before going to bed, we had to tell stories, three or four books each time, basically taking half an hour! Two weeks to take her to the library to borrow books, and it is two weeks to insist on going, to develop a good habit of borrowing books and reading books. Because the book is not borrowed and not read!
There are many benefits to borrowing books from the library. One is that picture books can have more choices, and the other is that there are too many picture books to buy them all. Every time my daughter goes to the library, she is very excited, because there are so many picture books to choose from, and she can borrow them back whenever she wants to see them. We made two library cards, one holding a card, the book we picked, borrowed it ourselves, didn't interfere with each other, even if I felt that the books she borrowed I really couldn't read, I had to read it hard, and I couldn't deny her choice...
Slowly parent-child reading has also been carried out until now, the daughter is five and a half weeks, the amount of literacy should be 2,000, the specific has not been counted, but she herself can read "Different Carmela", "Mi Xiao Circle Goes to School to Remember the First and Second Grade", "Mi Xiao Circle Brain Teaser" to read down, can read the "Father and Son", "Journey to the West" comic version over and over again. When she began to seriously tell me the funny plot of the book, I really believed that she really understood, and I laughed with relief...
When did my daughter start to recognize words? Around the age of three, when we were reading stories together, she would ask what the word was? Walking on the road, I would ask the words on the signboard, and I realized, is it the child's literacy sensitive period? So I also bought literacy books, mainly to see the picture literacy, and then friends introduced a set of "four or five fast reading", on the opening of a daily lesson of literacy class, so that every night in addition to the time of storytelling, but also added the time of word recognition, parent-child reading time has long exceeded half an hour, and even sometimes it is two hours. Because when reading "Four or Five Quick Reading", every day to review the learning, and then continue to learn the new lessons, it takes more than half an hour, in order not to let the baby go to bed too late, the bedtime story time should be earlier. Sometimes when my daughter is fully engaged, she often asks to finish a whole book at once, or asks her to read a whole set of stories before going to bed, then I basically did not stop her, because this is her interest, I am cultivating her interest in reading, seeing her so fully engaged, I really can't bear to interrupt...
Parent-child reading is not casual talk, or it depends on the company of parents. Although the time spent every day is not much, it is not easy to persevere, and it is expensive to persevere. Like we go out on a trip, or go back to our hometown, in addition to bringing daily luggage, we will also bring a few books, insist on constantly reading bedtime stories, we also have a habit, like to tell stories at the same time, while recording, and then play it back together to listen, the child can hear her own voice, she is very happy, very fulfilling.
Now that the daughter can read independently, is it necessary for parents to read? I don't think so... Parent-child reading should never stop, has been in our learning life, and will be our good memories... If you want your child to enjoy reading, start your parent-child reading journey!
