help children become interested in reading? Today, the editor of Xiaoou Parenting talks about how to make children fall in love with reading.
If you want your children to fall in love with reading, the most important point lies in the parents. Parents need to make their own changes and perseverance.
The first step to make your child fall in love with reading is to create a reading space for your child to feel free and comfortable. When it comes to reading space, many parents will have a high-end study room in their minds. If you are a family with conditions, you can naturally prepare an atmosphere study room for your children to study and read. However, it is not necessary to have a high-end study. You can also prepare a bookshelves for your child in the living room or the child's bedroom. Pay attention to the placement of books, focus on the child, and place your child's picture books and books in places where the child can reach it.
Also, it is to organize bookshelf regularly with your children. Of course, the real reading space does not refer to these hard environments, but to prepare children an environment that will not be disturbed by the outside world when they are studying. This environment can be a child's desk or a reading corner in the corner. The real core is to let the child feel that he cannot be disturbed or distracted when he is reading, so that the child can know the importance of reading.
The second is the reading atmosphere. Life requires a sense of ritual, and reading is the same. First of all, we must ensure that there is a certain reading time every day, and it is best to form a fixed time. Over time, children will regard reading as an indispensable part of their lives and become a habit, especially when the child is three years old. If parents read picture books for their children at a fixed time every day, the children start to want to read when they are time.
Secondly, parents are the best role models for their children. If parents browse their phones every day, but let their children read books, the children will not be willing to read. If parents can put down their mobile phones, hold up the book and read it, and see interesting places to discuss with their children, so that their children will also like to explore interesting and fun knowledge from the book.
Also, parents can usually go to bookstores with their children. After visiting the bookstore, children usually choose one or two books they like. Parents should not buy books for their children online in order to save trouble. It is very likely that after buying them, their children will not be interested in books.
In cultivating children's interest in reading, parents should also provide their children with spirit and behavioral companionship and support. When the child is young, parents and children do parent-child reading, and parents usually talk and listen to the child. After the child has a certain amount of literacy, many parents will immediately let their children read by themselves during the transition period between parents' accompanying reading and independent reading. However, although the child has read, there will still be many words that they do not recognize.
causes children to feel afraid of reading, so parents can still read books for their children for a period of time, and they can read them independently when their children's literacy reaches a certain level. When children encounter difficulties and problems in their studies, parents should solve the problems with their children and put down what they are doing to help their children solve them.
Every child has different personalities and different ways of liking them. Some children like to discuss the content in the book with their parents. Some children like their parents’ encouragement, while others like to share the content in the book with their parents. The most important thing is to let children feel that reading is a beautiful and happy thing.
Reading can allow children to stand on the shoulders of giants and transcend time and space, and appreciate many excellent ideas and achievements. It can also allow us to break through our physical limitations, enjoy the wisdom and knowledge from ancient times to the present, and let our children think longer and deeper.
