Now more and more parents know that letting children read picture books in the preschool stage is an important part of enlightenment education. It can cultivate children's interest in reading and learning, help children develop various behavioral habits, as well as concentration, observation, thinking ability, etc., and lay a solid foundation for future learning. Therefore, many parents will buy many picture books for their children to read in these critical years.
However, many parents found that after buying picture books, most of the children would not read them, and they would put them in the corner to eat dust. Is it differentiated to read picture books? Do your children really don’t like to read picture books?
The real reason is often not that children do not like to read picture books, but that the type of picture books they buy is not as good as their "appetite", and the method of guiding children to read picture books is not right. My sister used to not like reading picture books, so she wanted to throw it away and tear it off when she put the book in front of her. But now, she will take the initiative to read it herself. Sometimes she can read it for half an hour. How did such a change occur? Here are 3 methods for everyone.
1. Let reading become a habit
As the saying goes, habit becomes nature. Children's attention duration is already very short. Before they develop the habit of reading, they will throw it aside if they want to, and if they don't want to see it, which is a very normal phenomenon.
In order to help children develop the habit of reading, they must continue to read with their children for a period of time. They can fix the daily reading time, for example: accompany their children to read for half an hour at around 9 o'clock in the morning, accompany their children to read for half an hour at around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and accompany their children to read for half an hour before going to bed at night. During the half hour of reading with your child, don’t do anything else, just take picture books and read with your child. After persisting for a while, the child will develop a conditioned reflex when the time comes - it’s time to read.
2. Perform the story
Preschool children don’t know words, and their understanding of the world is almost blank. Even if the picture books have patterns, it is difficult for children to devote themselves to it. The best way is to make the content in the picture books "move".
How can I make the picture book "move"? To put it bluntly, tell stories. Don’t read aloud according to the text in the picture book. You should be vivid and vivid, and combine it with rich body language, expressions, and ups and downs tone to "play" the stories in the picture book to children, so that they can understand what they are talking about, and children can also be infected by adults' emotional performances and like reading.
3. Let children read the picture books they like
Each child has different interests and hobbies, and the types of picture books they like to read are also different. Some children like cars, and some children like small animals. Let children who like cars read picture books about small animals. The children may not be interested, and vice versa.
Instead of forcing the bullhead to drink water, it is better to let your children read the picture books they like to read while ensuring the health and safety of the content. For example, give the right to choose to the child, take the child to the bookstore, and let the child choose the picture books he likes to read, so that the picture books he bought can basically be read by the children. The above three methods above
are effective. Parents may wish to give it a try, it is absolutely not a pity.
