How to cultivate children's interest and habit of reading from an early age
Yao Huilian's books are the ladder of human progress, the source of children's knowledge and the tool for children to know the world. However, some parents complain that their children are too fond of playing or addicted to TV programs and computer games, and books don't seem to attract them. Interest is fun, and fun can stimulate greater interest. Only when children are interested in reading will they actively study, the heavy reading task will become relaxed and enjoyable, and "hard reading" will become "happy reading" and "interesting reading". First, literacy is the basis of reading, and the cultivation of reading begins with literacy. Literacy is the basis of reading, and children should be guided to read. Children grow up day by day, from "unbreakable" picture books to independent and free reading. This is a long process. We must pay attention to methods, step by step, have a certain plan and let nature take its course. Don't just read and memorize words, and don't strip away familiar things around children. At the beginning, you can guide people to know the words of simple and familiar things, such as people, mouth, hands, water, sky and cars. We can guide you to know what you often say and hear, such as "dad", "mom", "grandpa" and "grandma", without worrying that he can't remember the combined words, thus cultivating the awareness of word recognition. Of course, literacy is inseparable from books. It is also a good way to look at pictures in books and words in stories. Sometimes he can't remember what the word is, but he can recognize it after reading the picture and remember the plot of the story. We can even let him read imperceptibly according to his temperament and preferences. When a child remembers some words, he can play a game of "picking up words", such as letting him find the words he can recognize in a story; When you can read a picture to a certain extent, you can make some word cards, play cards and find some games that can read words. When a child finds and reads recognizable words, he will have a sense of pride and accomplishment, thus stimulating his interest and desire to recognize words. When children are interested in Chinese characters, they can read a lot and we can follow suit. Chinese characters can be seen everywhere around us, which can guide children to know Chinese characters more widely without getting bored, such as billboards, street signs and store names. For example, Chinese characters on TV and computer, such as Chinese characters on some items he is interested in and so on. Don't force your children to remember new words at once. When he sees and touches them many times, he will naturally remember them. In the process of guiding literacy, once children are bored, they should stop and divert their attention. Before my children were three years old, I consciously guided them to become interested in Chinese characters. You can take the initiative to read after you are three years old. If not, ask an adult. At the age of four, I can basically read children's books by myself Of course, every child's development is different, so the process and result are different. Some children will be slower, others will be faster, but just like teaching him to talk, eat and dress, it is normal and natural to teach him to read. Don't give up and don't be too nervous. The ultimate goal of teaching children to read is to return to books, and literacy is to achieve the purpose of independent reading. In the process of guiding children's literacy and reading, we should protect children's reading interest according to their age characteristics and make corresponding choices in books. First, you can't tear books, then you can read books with pictures, then books with pictures as the main part, then books with pictures as the auxiliary part, then books with pictures as the main part. Finally, when we can read books with pure words, children can read all kinds of children's books freely, such as fairy tales. Second, create an atmosphere of reading, let children associate with books, be friends with books, and feel books. Children know more and more Chinese characters, and there are fewer and fewer obstacles to reading. They can experience the fun brought by reading, swim in the sea of books and learn the essence and wisdom from the sea of books. To cultivate the reading environment, the ideal environment is a home full of books. Teaching by example is more important than teaching by example. Parents should be children's reading partners. Only parents who love reading can cultivate children who love reading. To make children fall in love with reading, parents should first have the habit of reading, often pick up books and newspapers at hand and drive their children to read with their own behaviors. At home, let books be everywhere. Put a simple bookcase in the children's usual activities, such as the hall, study and bedroom, and put all kinds of books on it. No matter adults or children, when they are free, when they encounter problems, and when children play with their peers, the books on the bookcase are within reach and can be read at any time. Reading is one of the leisure activities of family members, and parents often exchange reading experiences and experiences with their children. In this environment, children are inevitably influenced by subtle influences, playing with books as "toys" and treating books as good friends. In addition, we can take our children out to feel the atmosphere of reading, take them to the bookstore to buy their favorite books, or let them learn to find answers in books with some questions in their study and life. Even if you don't buy books, you can feel the thick book fragrance there. We can also often take our children to the library to read books, and get infected and have fun among many people who love reading. We can create conditions for children and children who love reading to become good friends, and children can influence and communicate with each other. Books can be used instead of toys and snacks when rewarding children or giving them gifts. Over time, books have become an indispensable thing in children's lives. Third, care about reading interest and stimulate reading desire. Children like reading, so we should protect their reading enthusiasm, improve their reading interest and develop good reading habits. The methods of training vary from person to person, and each has its own methods. Finding suitable and favorite books for children of all ages is a good way to cultivate children's interest in reading. Children's interests are different at different ages, so the choice of reading materials and reading guidance should be in line with children's age, psychology and gender characteristics. When you accompany your child to the bookstore to choose books, you should carefully observe what books your child is interested in. Children are full of fantasy, curiosity and strong thirst for knowledge. Most of them like reading fairy tales, stories, myths, science fiction novels and detective stories ... Parents should respect their children's opinions, buy their favorite books and care about their reading interests. Children are curious and use curiosity to cultivate reading interest. Cultivate in play, cultivate in life, for example: if the child wants to play mobile phones, games and toys, I want him to read the instructions and the rules and methods of the game himself; The child is ill and takes medicine. I asked him to read the drug instructions first and so on. When traveling, let children look at maps and signs by themselves; I think anything with words is conducive to the cultivation of children's interest in reading. Children's reading habits mainly come from this. When a child encounters difficulties in life and study, let him find ways to find information in books, solve problems and find answers by himself, so that his interest in reading becomes stronger. The more books he reads, the more knowledge he knows, and at the same time, he will find that the more knowledge he doesn't know, which will stimulate his desire to read. My child is stubborn. The more depressed you are, the more he wants to make public. Children love reading, often regardless of time and place, fondle admiringly. He asked to read a book for a while before going to bed at night, and I gave him a time limit of only ten minutes. Whether he has finished reading or not, he must go to bed. The same is true of buying books. For the record, he can only buy one book at a time. He took a fancy to several books at once, but he was only allowed to buy one. The child is itchy and always thinks about his book. The more you want, the more you want and the more you read. Reading is an act of seeking knowledge and a kind of enjoyment. Some children don't like reading because their parents don't respect their wisdom and self-esteem. Just pointing and correcting them will make them feel bored. Therefore, in the process of children's reading, parents should not artificially limit and control the contents, types and scope of periodicals that are really harmful to children. For example, my children are always in the mood to read. After watching the animated story "Young Soldier", they found the comic book "Young Soldier" in the bookstore. While watching, they imitate, and they often pester me to tell me the plot in the story, and they are very obsessed. Occasionally read a book "Adventures in the Dinosaur World" and found a series of adventure books to read; I went to the book fair, fell in love with Alice in Wonderland, and suddenly became addicted to children's literature masterpieces. Generally speaking, since primary school, most children have gradually formed their hobbies and interests in the choice of reading content. In this regard, we should pay attention to observation, understanding and guidance. As long as the content of the book is healthy and should not be disturbed too much, let children experience the fun of reading in the world of books. Active and happy reading can make children more thoughtful, optimistic and benefit for life. In short, the cultivation of interest permeates all aspects of life. We put interest first, take advantage of the situation, respect children's choices, follow the basic laws of education, and gradually cultivate children's reading habits.
