Is there any way to make children enjoy reading?

I'm happy to answer your questions.

I am a father of two girls, the eldest is 11 years old and the second is 4 years old. They both like to read. Let me talk about my experience and experience below:

Firstly, Cultivate the habit of reading from an early age. The younger you are, the easier it is to cultivate it. When the eldest child was born about a month ago, my wife gave the child storybooks every day. When she could walk and pick up things by herself, she placed some books suitable for children next to her: such as "Listen to What the Body Says" ", "Brothers of the Blood", "Pooping, It's So Comfortable", etc. My wife often talks about these books, and she will read them herself. Children at this stage will eat and tear books. Do not yell loudly. Tell her gently that this is wrong. If you tell her many times, she will not know how to do it. If you yell loudly, it will make your child hate the book. I feel scared and don’t like books anymore.

The second is to read more with your child and tell her more stories. From the age of three to seven, the child will pester her parents to tell her stories. You can see the knowledge in her eyes. Parents must not refuse the desire, and must speak patiently, meticulously, and emotionally. At first, the parents talk and the children listen, and gradually transition to the children watching for themselves.

The third is not to interfere too much in what books children read, but to provide certain guidance. From the time your child enters kindergarten, you should take her to the library to read and borrow books. Parents are just carrying bags at this time. You can carry whatever she takes. Don't say, "This is bad, or this can't be read." You can guide her into the areas of books that you personally think she should read. You cannot force her to borrow or read books, borrow books that she wants to borrow, or read books that she wants to read.

After seven or eight years of hard work, my eldest child is a child who loves to read and has a wide range of interests. My second child is also on the road to learning to love reading under the guidance of her sister.

I hope my experience can be helpful to you.

Whatever kind of child you want to have, just use whatever method you want to educate him.

The family is the first school where children grow up, and parents are their children’s first teachers. If you want your child to become a person who loves reading, you must provide him with such an environment. For specific methods, you can start from the following aspects:

1. Have a warm and comfortable environment for reading.

If we want our children to fall in love with reading, we must try to provide them with a quiet place to read. In a family that is noisy and noisy all day long, it is difficult for children to devote themselves to reading.

It is best to give children a relatively independent and quiet space so that they can really calm down and read.

2. The role of parents’ demonstration and role model is particularly important.

In today’s society, mobile phones and computers have become necessary for families, and due to work needs, mobile phones are often used. If you add them to watch TV dramas and chat, it will easily give children the illusion of playing with mobile phones every day. . Since mobile phones are so fun, children will definitely want to play with them. If you let them read books, how can they want to read them?

In fact, this problem is indeed difficult to solve. After all, we can’t educate our children without using mobile phones, right?

Here, I can only make a suggestion to parents: except for necessary phone calls and contacts, try not to play games in front of your children. Parents should resolutely not play with mobile phones when their children are doing homework or reading. .

3. Make more friends with children who love reading.

As the saying goes: Those who are close to vermilion are red, and those who are close to ink are black. Children often play together and peers have great influence. If your child’s playmates talk about games and animation every day, your child will definitely be affected. And if children discuss which book or story they are discussing with each other, will they naturally start reading? Therefore, a good playmate is very important, sometimes it is worth more than a thousand words you can say.

In short, it is the wish of every parent to cultivate the habit of reading in children from an early age and to allow them to receive education and baptism of book knowledge. I hope that every child can grow up healthily and happily under the careful care of their parents!

Start from an early age, the earlier the better.

The people who love reading the most in the world are the Jews. It is said that the Jews have even adopted some seemingly incredible practices in order to cultivate children's reading habits, such as smearing a layer on the books when the children can just crawl. Honey, let the children play, the children slowly taste the sweetness of books, and think that books are a good thing since they were young.

Two suggestions are for reference only:

1. Let your children read books and periodicals that are tiring for children’s literacy in the early stages. It is best to read a book with your children every night before going to bed. Do not Thinking that children are illiterate, in fact, sometimes we really underestimate children's learning ability. If you stick to the good habit of "parent-child reading", you will have unexpected gains.

2. When accompanying your children for outdoor activities, intentionally point them to various numbers and fonts on various slogans, street signs, floor numbers, and billboards.

When my little grandson was more than two years old, he lived in my house for more than half a year. I often pointed out various symbols and fonts to him. One time I picked him up at the high-speed rail station. On the viaduct on my way back, the little guy suddenly said "Haihang Road". Sure enough, I saw the three words "Haihang Road" written on the signboard beside the road. I was shocked. I.

If your child can recognize some words under your careful guidance, you can buy him some children's books. Don't worry that he can't understand them. His cognitive level will exceed your imagination. For example, although he does not recognize some words, he will roughly guess the unknown word based on the context. When my grandson was three years old, I took him to play in the community. There were signs on the roadside that read "Everyone has a responsibility to care for flowers and plants." Except for the word "responsibility," my grandson didn't recognize all the other words. Let him guess. The little guy followed the meaning of the first few words and guessed "everyone is useful", "everyone has money", and "everyone has a home". I finally told him that "everyone has a responsibility" and I told him what responsibility was, and he remembered that word from then on.

Children are very malleable when they are young. If you can let them develop a good habit of reading at this time, it will benefit them throughout their lives. However, how should parents guide us? This was something I was thinking about before. My children were in a critical period of developing habits. So far, it seems to be working. My children really like reading and have developed an unshakable habit of reading before going to bed.

How to make children love reading? Let me share my experience below!

1. Buy books that your child likes

How can you know what books your child likes?

(1) When buying books, bring your children with you. The adults will choose several books, and then let them choose one or more books;

(2) Let the children read it first Audio or watching cartoons. As far as I know, many books have related video and audio resources, which can be found online.

For example, my child is used to listening to "The Growing Up Story of Frog the Frog". For a while, he would listen to it repeatedly. Later, I took advantage of the situation and asked him if he wanted to read the book, and he said yes. Later, I bought a complete set for him. After getting the books, he liked them so much that he would take two books to read every day before going to bed.

2. Place books where children can see them at any time

In order to save space, some families like to put books on high cabinets. Since children are short, they may I can't see it usually, so naturally I don't think of reading the book. For example, I don’t have a dedicated study room at home, so I put a row of books on the table where my children store their toys. The height is balanced with the child’s belly. In this way, the child can see it when he walks around. Therefore, in addition to reading at night, he will also take out books that interest him and read them for a while.

3. If a child forgets to read, parents can remind him tactfully

If sometimes the child becomes addicted to playing with toys and forgets to read before going to bed. I will give the child a buffer time, remind him that the toys are going home for bed, and ask him if he can send the toys back earlier. Every time he heard me say this, he would send the toy back. At this time, I will then ask him what book he wants to read today? Or want to hear a story? Then he will choose. It is not recommended that parents use a bad tone to remind their children to read, because that may be counterproductive.

4. Respect the child and interact with him

Before the age of 2, children basically like to be accompanied by adults when reading books, and let us tell them to them. Now the child is over 3 years old and has become a little talkative.

Many times, I like to hold a book and look at the pictures and talk by myself. At this time, I was listening patiently to him. Sometimes he wants to interact with me, and I actively cooperate. Parents' reactions also have a certain impact on the development of children's reading habits.

If a child is reading a book seriously and suddenly wants to ask you a question, and you impatiently say, "Read it for yourself, I'm busy?" the child must also feel unhappy. How can I still find the time to read a book? Therefore, when I read a book with my child, I always put my phone aside and concentrate on being with him. I just want to tell him through actions that reading is important and I support you reading!

The development of any habit does not happen overnight. Therefore, if parents have thought about it and cultivate their children to develop a good habit of reading, they must be patient enough and accompany their children to continue reading. Whatever you do, as long as you keep doing it, it will be more or less effective in the end. My children's development of the habit of reading before bed is a good example.

I have a strong say in this issue, because my daughter is a little bookworm who loves books. If I put her in a bookstore, I will be free for a day.

So how did I get my daughter to love reading?

First, children are exposed to books at a very young age. The child cannot read at first, but he can flip through them and play with them to cultivate his love for books.

Second, buy more books at home. If there are many books at home, children can find books anywhere, and they will gradually like books.

Third, start reading to your child for a while every day. You read to your child first, and then after reading, give it to your child so that she can read by herself.

Falling in love with reading is a subtle process that cannot be achieved overnight. Haste makes waste, so cultivate it slowly! As long as you persist, you will always succeed. First of all, we need to consider what causes children not to like reading? How to guide children to fall in love with reading

I will give you real feedback from the above three points

1. How to create an atmosphere at home for children to love reading. For reading, the United States has three treasures: bookshelf, book basket, and table lamp. There must be a study room or bookshelf at home to let the children know that this is where books are placed, and it doesn’t matter if the books are messy. The book basket can be placed in a corner such as the dining room, living room, balcony or toilet, so that the children can easily access it.

Now let’s focus on table lamps. Many children don’t like to sleep at night and want to nap. I learned this method from an educational program and it is really effective. My eldest son is one of those energetic people. He has nowhere to put his energy at night and just doesn’t want to sleep. The more he listens to bedtime stories and lullabies, the more energetic he becomes. Later, I told her, "You can go to bed later and turn on this lamp, but you have to use the lamp to flip through the books and read." And in order to avoid falling asleep, she readily agreed. Since using this method, she has made full use of her time before going to bed, calmed her impetuous mind, and invisibly cultivated her reading habit. Now she also likes to read all kinds of books. If she can't understand the words, she will drag me and her dad to tell her. She occasionally tells simple picture books to her brothers.

2. Book selection: Good books are half of successful reading. In order for children to read books, in addition to having good positive and healthy content, the books themselves must also be interesting. You can also take your child to a bookstore and let him choose his favorite books.

My children are relatively young, so the books are diverse. Some are made of paper and some are made of cloth; some are push-pull and operable; some are about spaceships, and some are about small animals...

The set of books that my children can’t put down the most is: It belongs to the "Baba Daddy" series, which is very suitable for children aged 2-5 to start reading. The 10 stories are connected together, starting from the birth of Baba's father, to finding Baba's mother, getting married and having children, to moving to a new home, returning to the earth, etc. The stories follow one after another, with in-depth layers, and each story has a theme worth exploring.

The first and last pages of the picture book are the cute names of the Baba family members. My third and second children especially like to turn this page and read it to themselves every time they open the book.

The most special thing about Baba’s story is that each member of the Baba family can transform into various shapes as they wish, allowing children to swim in a sea of ??books with rich imagination.

You may not know that it also has a TV animation version! The content of the animated version has become richer on the original basis of the book. I believe that a set of books like this can be a good start for children on the road to reading.

3. Parents lead by example

They all say "easier said than done", so as parents, we make a small plan at home every night, even for just an hour, Don't do anything else, just read together as a family and immerse yourself in the world of books. Never play the role of an elder by scrolling through your phone while telling your children, "You want to read a book, what the teacher said you should do." This will make the child feel unfair. In fact, companionship is the best parent-child reading mode.

My family does not read every day. Our time is around 8 pm, about 3-4 parent-child reading time periods a week. We occasionally let each of the three children choose a book they like (to improve the children's interest in reading and autonomy), and then I or the child's father will read these three books with them. Every time after the lecture, my father and I would be left unfinished and would be pestered like candy by saying, "I want to read more."

In short, the atmosphere is important, but parents are more important. If the parents themselves cannot do it, then no matter how good the atmosphere is, it is just a decoration. If you want your children to fall in love with reading, you should start by planting the seeds of reading for yourself.

There is no need to say more about the benefits of reading. I think many parents already know it. Therefore, in recent years, cultivating children's good reading habits and improving their children's reading ability have become something that parents attach great importance to.

So, how can we make children fall in love with reading and take the initiative to read?

1. The influence of family environment

It is said that parents who do not like to read will not teach children who love to read. Therefore, parents’ words and deeds and effective guidance play an important role in cultivating children’s reading habits.

In a family, if parents like to read, their children will also be nurtured in such a family atmosphere. Over time, children will establish reading behavior by imitating their parents and gradually form a habit.

2. Good parent-child reading

If you want your children to like reading, you must let them discover the joy of reading. Parent-child reading is a way to help parents and children establish a close connection, and at the same time, it can also help children gradually fall in love with reading.

As a prerequisite, parents must insist on parent-child reading with their children every day, so as to help children form a habit of reading. For example, you can set a parent-child reading time every day to let the children look forward to reading; you can also give the children the power to choose books and let them decide what books to read every day to help them improve their skills. Interest in reading.

3. Create a reading area for children

A warm and comfortable reading area can bring different experiences and feelings to children. It allows children to calm down in this place, relax and read their favorite picture books, and listen to their parents telling beautiful stories.

So if the family has the conditions, I still recommend that parents create such an area for their children, which can not only allow the children to have a small world of their own, but also help them increase their interest in reading. Why not Why.

Of course, all external conditions are inferior to the words and deeds of parents, because parents are their children's first teachers, and children begin to learn and imitate from their parents.

It is not difficult to make children fall in love with reading. As long as the parents themselves fall in love with reading first, the children will naturally be affected.

The family has a pair of 6-year-old twin boys: happiness and auspiciousness. The two children started their reading journey at 8 months old and have read nearly 1,500 books, especially from the age of 3 to now. I have read 1,200 books. On this reading journey, my children and I are exploring forward with full of expectations and satisfaction.

How to make children fall in love with reading? Let me talk about my experience with my children.

It is very important to choose books for reading enlightenment:

I remember that the first set of reading enlightenment books for children was the Miffy series given by a friend when the child was 8 months old. At that time, the child had no concept of books. , when I read a book to my child, the child will crawl over curiously to listen, but after a while, he will run away. Later, I changed to a set of "Little Bear Series" from Populan Picture Book House, which is about habit formation. The cute little bears, little rabbits and puppies in it made the children fall in love with this set of books at once, and they have been with the first book since then. A beautiful relationship is perfectly established.

Therefore, choosing picture books for children that are suitable for their age group, with vivid, interesting and cute pictures, is particularly important to help children start reading. There are various book lists suitable for children of different ages online, you can refer to them.

The earlier the reading initiation is, the better:

My twins started reading when they were 8 months old. At this time, the children were relatively less disturbed by external media, and at the same time, they were not disturbed by external media. The whole world is full of curiosity, so the intervention of books can very well satisfy children's curiosity and desire for knowledge. This is equivalent to using books to help children open the door to the world instead of mobile phones, Ipads and TVs.

This provides a preconceived way for children to explore the world when they first enter the world.

Books available everywhere Help children fall in love with reading:

One of the easiest ways to make children fall in love with reading is to make books readily available. Buy a few small open bookshelves at home and place them in places where children often stay. This will make it easier to obtain books and reduce the startup energy for reading.

I remember that my books used to be placed in a big bookcase. Every time the children wanted to read, they had to open the cabinet door and look through the books. In fact, this requires children to have a strong interest in books to make them look for books. desire. Later, I bought several small wrought iron bookshelves at home and placed them at the bedside and sofa, places where children often stay and are within easy reach. Reading books out of boredom became their favorite pastime.

Limited use of electronic products Turn off the TV, put down your mobile phone and pick up a book:

Today’s life is inseparable from electronic products, and children can enjoy almost all kinds of dazzling games and cartoons. Said there was zero resistance. But it goes without saying that these contents are harmful to children’s growth. Therefore, it is important to limit children’s use of electronic products, but this often has to start with parents.

If when you get home, your parents won’t leave their mobile phones and watch TV series non-stop, how can you create a good reading environment for your children? So turn off the TV, put down your mobile phone, pick up a book and read with your children. After all, the ocean of knowledge in books not only increases children's cognition but also develops children's imagination. Needless to say, there are benefits.

Parent-child reading is a must for children to fall in love with reading:

Letting children read, especially for children under 8 years old, does not mean leaving the children to read by themselves, but It refers to parent-child reading accompanied by parents.

My twin children, Xingfu and Jixiang, have read about 1,500 books in the past five years, all of which were completed through parent-child reading. Listening to mom or dad read should be a very wonderful thing for children. At this time, reading is no longer just reading for children. What attracts children is not only the interesting books, but also the feeling of snuggling up with their parents. Good times. For young children, reading is not "reading" in our eyes, but more like "playing" with their parents in a sea of ??books. Who doesn't love playing, right?

Falling in love with reading requires persistence:

Books are interesting, and parents and children need to discover them together, but this discovery requires time and persistence. I remember that at first I had little or no chance of reading with my child. It wasn’t until my child was 3 years old that he participated in a 21-day reading activity, that is, a daily reading activity.

Since then, the reading time before going to bed every night has become unshakable. I read with my children not to let them sleep peacefully, but to deliberately arrange to read half a day with my children during this relaxing time before going to bed. Hour after hour, make reading a habit in your life. It seems that the day can only be considered complete if you read a few books before going to bed.

Therefore, cultivating young children’s reading hobby is actually about whether parents can accompany their children to continue reading. Instead of doing it to their children, it is better to do it themselves.

In this way, without realizing it, we have read nearly 1,200 books from the time our children were three years old. This large number of picture books and books is due to our wandering in the picture book library, so finding a nearby picture book library is also an important source for children to obtain a large number of books and choose their favorite books. It is also very simple to help children fall in love with reading. method.

There is no child who doesn’t love books, unless you don’t give him a chance.

Tell us how many books your child has read.

To make children like reading, I think the most important things are the following two points: Parents should set a good example in reading

I feel deeply about this. I usually like to watch TV dramas. , I won’t stop watching the show until it reaches the ending, but I really want my children to love learning.

I bought all the books recommended by parenting experts. What’s the result? There are picture books all over the bookshelves, but my children always fight for the remote controls with me and don’t look at them at all. They are all gathering dust in the corner.

But after I was domestically abused and determined to get divorced, I signed up for the accounting professional qualification exam to pave the way for my post-divorce livelihood. Since I had been working full-time for many years, I wanted to take a certificate to endorse my employment.

So I started taking lessons on housework, reading books and answering questions when I had time. The children who usually grabbed the remote control became more sensible. I took a picture book and learned from me while reading. Pull.

That serious look makes me happy that he can get into Tsinghua University and Peking University.

The way to make children like reading is for parents to put down their mobile phones and read more. Use your own behavior to infect your children and make yourself a role model for your children. Tell your children more picture books and stories

When I decided to divorce, my children were only 3 years old, and it was a good time for them to learn to speak because of their slurred speech. I was very depressed during the divorce, so I told my children stories every night to make up for it. The guilt of not being able to accompany me to work during the day, and the dispelling of depression.

From Thomas the Tank Engine to Tatsuya Miyanishi’s dinosaur series, after reading more than 30 stories, children who are still unclear in articulation can actually tell most of the stories.

When the child took the Thomas picture book and told stories to his grandmother, my mother almost thought that the child could read. He imitated me, pointing to the words, telling the story, and turning the pages. Author's words

I am Xixi Zijin. I work during the day and take care of my children at night. Children's interest in reading needs to be accompanied and guided by their parents to develop.

Otherwise, just like me watching the show, your children will only compete with you for the remote control.

If you want your children to fall in love with reading, first of all, you must be a reading enthusiast yourself. Secondly, you must choose books suitable for your children’s age. Fourthly, read with your children.
