What should children do if they don't like reading books in plain text?

Recently, some mothers told me that the children at home are in the third and fourth grades, and they still like to pick funny comic books when reading, and they don't even turn over the books in pure text.

In fact, reading not only increases knowledge and broadens horizons, but also mediates children's emotions and enriches children's lives. They can relax themselves by reading jokes and cartoons. However, if they only read comic books, there is nothing worth thinking about, which will really affect their "effective reading", that is, their reading ability will be improved. After reading, they will laugh, which is as meaningless as watching boring TV dramas for adults.

First of all, let's analyze the internal causes:

Under normal circumstances, when children reach the third grade, most of them can read pure text independently, but each child's situation is different. If children still find it difficult to read pure text in the third grade, it means that reading enlightenment is late or children don't understand many abstract words in place. Parents should cultivate their children's abstract understanding ability from life, continue to encourage their children and accompany them to read together, and don't be too anxious.

then how to solve the phenomenon of only reading comic books?

1. Choose a bridge book

What is a bridge book? It is a book type between a picture book and a plain text book.

Characteristics of bridge book selection:

1) Combination of graphics and text

The picture of bridge book is a supporting role, and the character is the protagonist. The function of the picture is only to help children understand the characters better.

2) The length is not long

It can be finished in about 1-2 minutes to help children build their reading confidence.

3) Rich themes

Stories, popular science and humanities are readable.

2. Choose a book with a unique sense of design

pop-up book can be a kind of choice, for example, The Little Prince, a fun and beautiful pop-up book like The Journey to the West. First of all, we should attract his attention, and we must have a strong curiosity to drive him to see it.

3. Choose comic books with knowledge.

Understand children's current situation, and don't brush off the only book they like at once. In fact, many comic books are also great, which also contain knowledge of science, humanities and history.

For example, The Magical Bookstore, which integrates the knowledge of history, culture, magic, myth and geography into the plot; There is also a science comic book "Treasure Hunt Series" that explores the cultural treasures of China and other countries in the world and experiences adventures everywhere; The King of Science Experiment, which covers the daily applicable knowledge of physics, chemistry, biology, etc., My First Science Comic Book with All Questions and Answers, the super invincible British Children's Encyclopedia Comic Edition, and the half-hour comic series of two mixed children, including history and Tang poetry, can be read by adults and children.

4. Teach by example

Read a book that your child is reading at this age, and then tell your child only the beginning. When it comes to key places, don't talk about it, arouse his curiosity, and then give him a book to read by himself. After reading it, discuss it with him.

Finally, there are reading notes assigned by the school teacher, which is also very important to help the children finish them carefully.

reading habit is a process, and you can only accompany it carefully and wait for the flowers to bloom.
