How to cultivate students’ interest in reading

1. Demonstrate by example, read with students, and arouse students’ interest in reading

Suhomlinsky said: “Introduce every student into the world of books, Cultivating a love for books and making them the guiding star in intellectual life - these all depend on the teacher and the position that books occupy in the teacher's own spiritual life. "Teachers must not only emphasize teaching, but also focus on teaching. Read again. To make students love reading, teachers must first love reading. Chinese teachers should not only read classic works, but also have more exposure to children's newspapers, periodicals, books, etc., recommend newspapers and magazines suitable for students to read according to their appetites, and bring books suitable for students to read into the classroom for students to circulate. Students can read their favorite books, and their interest will naturally increase.

2. Give students the freedom to read, and then guide them through the camera to gradually transform their interests.

As we all know, students are not not interested in all books. We often hear that some parents Nagging: "Why don't my children read "Andersen's Fairy Tales"? They like 'Ultraman and Weapons!'" In fact, such children also have a strong desire to read, but their interests have deviated from the right direction. Therefore, we cannot simply deny or criticize. We believe in students and give them the freedom to read first, then seize the opportunity, guide them skillfully, and carry out transfer. This can often get twice the result with half the effort. This actually protects students' self-esteem, autonomy and curiosity.

3. Let every student make friends with books and cultivate students’ interest in reading

First of all, Chinese teachers should emancipate their minds and abandon those old teaching concepts and concepts that hinder students’ development. The teaching method breaks away from the closed and boring tedious analysis, completely liberates the students' minds, hands and feet, opens up the classroom and teaching materials, and extends the teaching outside the classroom, to society, to various media and electronic networks, so as to make it in line with social development and Accommodating the huge increase in knowledge.

Secondly, children can "read" almost all "spoken" books before entering school, and their interest in "listening" to books often transfers to their "reading" interest. Therefore, on the one hand, Chinese teachers should develop students' reading ability in class, and on the other hand, they should make full use of audio-visual media such as tape recorders and television to let students "listen" to books. , thereby inducing students to read early and read more.

Third, Chinese teachers should recommend as many beautiful Chinese and foreign literary classics to students as possible, so that students can feel the beauty of the situations created by the articles and the charm of the language during their own reading, and make students feel Reading is a beautiful enjoyment. When teaching "The Lotus Leaf is Round", I opened the slide show and showed pictures of lotus flowers, introducing lotus flowers of various colors and shapes. In the beautiful scenery of the lotus pond, it stimulated students' interest in learning. Beautiful images stimulate students' emotions and affect their emotional activities, and the corresponding emotions and emotions.

4. Teach students reading methods and stimulate students’ internal motivation to read

To truly make students interested in reading and be able to read consciously and from the heart, we must also To solve the internal motivation of students, that is to rely on the charm of Chinese language itself to impress and attract students, and gradually cultivate students' reading interest through purposeful and targeted reading. Students also gradually appreciate the image beauty and beauty of Chinese language from a large number of extracurricular readings. The artistic conception and thoughts are beautiful, and I feel the profoundness of Chinese culture. To this end, we should teach students reading methods: focus on the appearance, demeanor, language, movements and psychological activities of the characters to read with heart; focus on the exciting key paragraphs to read with emotion; focus on the description of the artistic conception and use imagination to read. Through the guidance of teachers, students' interest in reading is cultivated and they develop a reading habit. In this way, students' cultural heritage will continue to be enriched, thus creating "the thoughts and feelings of loving the motherland's language and Chinese excellent culture." This will further enhance students' interest in reading.

5. Create a good reading environment and stimulate students' interest in reading

In the process of reading, if you let it go, you will definitely not get effective results. Therefore, "Storytelling", "Reading Report", "Exhibition and Evaluation of Excellent Reading Notes", "Accumulation Book", "Handwritten Newspaper", "Knowledge Competition", "Contest Information", and "Poetry Recitation Competition" were carried out Such lively and diverse extracurricular activities can effectively check the reading situation, consolidate the reading results, let students enjoy the fun of reading, stimulate students' reading interest and enthusiasm, mobilize students' reading enthusiasm, and promote extracurricular reading to deepen step by step.

Attract students, especially primary school students, through story-telling situations. When the teacher wants to tell a story, they will stand upright, prick up their ears, their eyes will flash with excitement, and they will smile sweetly at the corners of their mouths. They will listen with relish. Therefore, at this time, when the teacher finishes telling the story and recommends extracurricular books to the students, the effect is definitely more effective than any preaching. However, it is not enough for teachers to tell stories and students to listen. The form of storytelling can be varied, not only told by teachers, but also told by students, or told in competitions between teachers and students, and between students and students. In this way, students have the right to speak independently, and they will do everything possible to find extracurricular books that interest them, and choose stories that they like, which may be interesting, thrilling, strange, or touching... Every story is a dose of education. Catalyst for students’ interest in reading. Let the narrator feel the joy of success, thereby motivating them to love extracurricular reading; let the listeners feel the temptation of extracurricular reading in the narrator's vivid narration.

6. Introduce good books to students to read, stimulate their interest and desire in reading, and improve their reading ability and cognitive level.

First, help students choose good reading materials according to their age characteristics and knowledge level, and guide students to read excellent extracurricular works. Generally speaking, the thinking of students in lower grades is mainly based on concrete image thinking. From the beginning of the school year, students in lower grades will set up a book corner for them and introduce good books to them. You can let them read some children's songs and fairy tales with pictures and texts. After learning Pinyin, introduce them to books with Pinyin and ask them to read Pinyin and Chinese characters while looking at the pictures. In the future, after students have finished studying the text, they can also introduce extracurricular books with relevant content to the text, let them read it, and provide guidance on how to read it.

Secondly, we should organically combine in-class and extra-curricular activities, extend from in-class to extra-curricular, and stimulate students’ interest in reading. Mr. Ye Shengtao once said: "Chinese textbooks are nothing more than examples. Students should be able to draw inferences from one example based on this example." The limited number of articles in the textbook can only be cited as one. Only by broadening the knowledge through extracurricular reading can the other three be inferred and applied in the application. Turn methods into abilities to make your reading ability stronger and stronger. Therefore, every time a student learns a text, as long as there is relevant information, I will introduce the extracurricular books with relevant content to the text, let the students read it, and guide the students how to read it. Teachers should have more contact with children's newspapers, periodicals, books, etc., recommend newspapers and magazines suitable for students according to their appetites, and bring books suitable for students into the classroom for students to circulate. Students can read their favorite books, and their interest will naturally increase.

In short, teachers should guide students' reading content, encourage students to read good books, guide students' reading methods, create a good reading environment and reading atmosphere for students, and at the same time relax students' , reduce the burden and let students become friends with books. In the six years of primary school study, students can initially understand and appreciate literary works, be influenced by noble emotions and interests, express their own personality, and enrich their spiritual world

Reading is a good method of lifelong education . A love of reading can change everything about a child and benefit the child for life.

1. Comply with the child's psychological characteristics and select the first batch of books that the child "loves to read" so that the child will have a good impression of the book. Whether a child likes reading or not has a lot to do with the parents' nurturing skills. In the early stages of children learning to read, parents must carefully select the books and periodicals provided to their children, and try to provide them with some picture books with beautiful printing, rich and interesting content, and plot development that conforms to children's imagination and thinking characteristics, such as animal picture books, Color Picture Section

2. It is not advisable to control the children’s reading process too tightly.

Curiosity, restlessness, lack of patience and endurance are common psychological characteristics of children. Their favorite way of reading is to flip through this book and that one. In this regard, parents do not need to control him too much. Usually, at this stage, as long as the child is willing to hold a book in his hand and read it with interest, parents should feel satisfied. Because this kind of performance is completely in line with children's early reading psychology and is a sign that children have taken an important step on the road of reading and seeking knowledge.

3. Give children the right to choose reading and provide them with a relaxed and free reading environment as much as possible.

Reading is an act of seeking knowledge and a kind of enjoyment. Therefore, in the process of children's news reporting, in addition to controlling the books and periodicals that are truly harmful to their children, parents should not artificially restrict and control the content, type and scope of the periodicals their children read. Generally, the wider the range of content in the periodicals your children are reading, the better.

Generally speaking, since entering elementary school, most children have gradually formed their own hobbies and interests in the choice of reading content. In this regard, parents should pay attention to observation, understanding and guidance, and should not interfere too much. American library science teacher Susan Rosenweig has a famous saying: "If you want your children to read exactly according to your plan, it is destined to not last long."

4. Parent-child reading , set a good reading example for children.

Experts believe that at home, parents should read books with their children as much as possible and be their children's reading role models. At the same time, you can often exchange reading methods and experiences with your children, encourage them to retell the storyline or specific content in the book, express their own views and opinions, and then analyze and discuss them together. If you do this regularly, your child's interest in reading may become more intense, and your child's reading level will gradually improve.

How to develop reading habits

It is impossible to learn Chinese well without paying attention to long-term and large-scale reading accumulation. Scientific research also shows that children can only develop language skills if their reading amount reaches four or five times the total amount of textbook reading; a person's vocabulary is directly proportional to his IQ. Reading a lot is an important way to improve children's abilities and develop their intelligence. How to cultivate good reading habits in children?

1. Create good reading conditions at home

Whether a family has books or not, whether the children often have access to books is related to whether the children are Like reading has a lot to do with it. If conditions permit, parents should buy books that are beneficial to their children and place them where they see them every day. As time goes by, children see books every day. If they browse through them at will, they will gradually become interested in books.

2. Parents should become their children’s reading partners

Teaching by example is more important than teaching by words. Only parents who love reading can cultivate children who love reading. Parents must first love reading, know how to read, and understand the content of books. Only in this way can they guide their children to read and use their own behaviors to subtly encourage their children to like reading. In the early stages of developing children's reading habits, the most important thing is to read more articles to them. This will not only extend the time for children to pay attention intentionally, increase their literacy, stimulate their imagination, and promote their emotional development, but also The important thing is to cultivate their interest in reading, so that students can consciously and voluntarily want to study. Regarding this point, the famous American educator Jim believes that the role of reading to children is "second only to a hug." Under such a "hug", children's interest in reading increases and their enthusiasm rises. Slowly, they become interested in reading. The attitude becomes "I want to read".

3. Mobilize children’s interest in reading

(1) Suspense mobilization method. When reading, leave suspense to your children. Listening to parents reading a wonderful article, but lacking an ending and unresolved plot, urges the child to eagerly find the answer to the question. Gradually, he will break away from the support of his parents and swim freely in the sea of ??books to seek his spiritual home.

(2) Story summary method. Parents first tell the students the main idea of ??the story and guide their children to read. For example, guide children to read "Robinson Crusoe" by Defoe. In advance, parents briefly introduce the general content of the story to their children. If the children find it interesting, they will read the book themselves.

(3) TV-assisted method. Popular TV dramas in society often have a considerable impact on children's reading. If parents can seize the opportunity, take advantage of the situation, and take the opportunity to introduce corresponding reading materials to their children, students will be more interested in reading. For example, after CCTV broadcast "Water Margin", it aroused great repercussions in society and had a great impact on children. They often discussed the development of the plot. In response to this phenomenon, parents and children read "Water Margin" together. Talking about the One Hundred and Eight Generals, children will get good results by thinking and discussing while reading.

Gouzi said: "If you don't accumulate small steps, you can't reach a thousand miles." It has become a good reading habit. Then you will be able to face language learning easily, which will be of great help.

How to guide children to read

1. Sufficient reading time

Depending on the child's reading experience, it is best to give him ample time, but it cannot be close to the discussion time. Too long to avoid forgetting and losing enthusiasm for discussing the book.

Usually after we finish reading a book, what we are eager to share with others is:

(1) The mood and feelings after reading this book.

(2) Gains from reading this book.

(3) What you don’t understand about this book

(4) Your evaluation of this book.

Therefore, during the child's free reading period (taking a 200-page novel as an example, it takes about two weeks), you can randomly chat with him about the book.

For example, "Where do you see it? I have already seen the part where they were quarreling."

"Is the part you have read so far interesting?"

"What is your evaluation of the male protagonist so far?"

From such small talk, occasionally add your own personal opinions (you must let the children know that this is your personal idea, not "Standard Answer"), in order to keep children's enthusiasm for reading at a certain temperature.

2． Guide children to achieve effective comprehension

Some experts point out that there are three indicators of whether children's reading is effective:

(1) Whether they understand what they are reading (whether there is content in what they are reading) Contradiction, meaning or not)?

(2) Have I decoded the article correctly (does my understanding match the original meaning of the book)?

(3) Can I Adjust the reading direction according to the goal (if I am to improve my composition skills, the focus should be on the writing skills in the book)?

Here, provide several "reading comprehension plans" that have been used in experiments , as a reference technique for guiding children to read. You should pay attention to the advantages and disadvantages of your child's past reading habits, give appropriate reminders, or be patient and take him to find one from the following reference steps, or to try out a new solution by yourself.

(1)SQ3R

Survey, question, read, recite and review.

Its advantage is that children can read it again and again, and go deeper every time; its disadvantage is that it is time-consuming and more likely to cause fatigue.

(2)REAP

Read, encode, annotate, and ponder.

Its advantage is that it allows children to try to reproduce the author's text in their own words (encoding), write a summary (annotation) with their own meaning, and think about the summary (reflection). It can be said that It is to complete the understanding by oneself.

The disadvantages are the same as SQ3R.

(3)DRTA

Predict, read, and prove. That is to say, first let the children guess what the reading content may be, then read it, and check one by one whether the comparison is consistent with the prediction.

The advantage is that it increases reading interest, but the disadvantage is that it may deviate from the focus.

(4) Chicago Proficient Learning Reading Program

The main method is to divide the reading content into several small units, and set some goals that should be achieved in each unit. Only after passing the proficiency test can you proceed to the next unit, otherwise you must receive corrective or remedial teaching.

The advantage is that you can gradually master the reading content. The disadvantage is that it is divided into trivial fragments and cannot be completed in one go, which sometimes hinders the reading atmosphere. I must emphasize that these are just teaching experimental solutions used in American schools and may not necessarily be absolutely effective for your children. You can refer to it, but you don’t have to accept it in full. Every child has different reading preferences and habits, and it is impossible to have a perfect solution that works for all children.

Perhaps, you can guide your children's reading methods according to the different properties of the reading materials. For example: For longer novels, use the dismantling DRTA to read them. Short stories are written using REAP.
