How to Cultivate Children's Love of Reading

A spectrum of mothers often hear some parents say, "I'm not a scholar, and my children's fathers don't like reading, so our children don't have a good family upbringing." I have been worried about this problem since my child was young. A family without a reading atmosphere, how to make children who grew up in this family fall in love with reading? "On this issue, you Ma Pu give mom and dad some advice.

1. Parents * * * The sooner you start reading, the better.

Many parents think their children are so young, can you understand? In fact, there are many benefits for parents to read to their children from the birth. Parents read some simple stories to their children, which is the earliest language enlightenment, because children begin to learn languages from "listening", and after listening more, they begin to imitate and pronounce. Choose some picture books with bigger and clearer black and white patterns in the early stage, because the visual development of the early baby is not complete. When the baby can sit down, I will hold the baby and read many picture books for children.

2. Family reading atmosphere.

If the TV is always on at home and parents' mobile phones are always on, it is difficult for such a family to cultivate children who love reading. In a family with a strong reading atmosphere, the topics discussed by everyone tend to focus on a certain book. Even if it's a picture book, after mom finishes speaking, the topic can still naturally unfold around this picture book. For example, if a mother uses picture book language in appropriate occasions, children will feel that her mother is humorous and wonderful, and the distance from her mother is rapidly narrowing. When they grow up, schools often ask children to give PPT speeches about reading. Only books that both parents and children have read can family discussions be held.

3. Arrange the reading corner.

I am most afraid of seeing my parents put all the books on the shelves. They also call it keeping the house clean and tidy. In fact, children especially like to sit in a small corner to study when they are young, which requires parents to arrange a reading corner for their children. It's better to have a shed in the reading corner, such as a small tent, a small corner next to the table, etc. Put some cushions on the ground and some children's books, which is the reading corner.

Here, you Pu Ma also wants to remind you of a few points:

1, the love of reading is not innate, and every interest is cultivated bit by bit for a long time. It is impossible for children to fall in love with reading in a day or two, so don't rush for success;

2, reading is an interest, not a task, don't force children to study, so reading becomes a burden for children, and it is bound to be difficult to fall in love with reading with a burden.

3. At present, the book market is mixed. When parents choose books for their children, they must make a good choice and choose healthy books suitable for their children's age published by regular publishing houses.

Finally, I want to share with you a very good passage I read some time ago:

If you have no time to accompany your child, please let him read, and the book will accompany him. A person who knows how to read when he is lonely will not be too lonely. If you can't teach a child, let him read, and books will teach him. As long as you pick up the book, he can have a deep and free dialogue with all the masters. If you are afraid that one day you will eventually leave your child, you will no longer be able to give him advice and shelter from the wind and rain and let him study.

The future is unknown, parents will not always accompany us, but we can still train our children to read and let them have knowledge forever. Reading habits are the wealth of a child's life, and there are ways to cultivate children's reading habits. After mastering these skills to cultivate children's reading, you just need to wait for the flowers to bloom, and there will naturally be children who love reading at home.
