How to cultivate children's reading habits and interests

Educators have said a lot about the importance of cultivating children's interest in reading, so I won't read it here. You can find it by searching online. Some parents will also say that we all understand the truth, but we can't tell our children that they won't listen. Let me tell you what I told my children.

I told him, honey, how about we watch less cartoons and read more books every day?

He said, comics look good! I don't like reading!

Then I said, do you want to improve your academic performance?

In fact, all children want to improve their academic performance, to be praised by their teachers and to be envied by their classmates, so I will talk to him about improving their academic performance first.

First of all, do you find it difficult to write and make sentences? Writing and making sentences hold you back in Chinese. Aren't you being told that your sentences are not fluent? For example, in an exam, you often lose points in the part of "word sorting" ... that's because your "sense of language" is not good. How can we practice "sense of language"? You should read more other articles, that is, you should read. One of the great benefits of reading is that it can help you improve your Chinese and writing skills. Of course, this benefit can't be achieved in one day, two days, one week and two weeks. It may take a semester, maybe a little longer, but it will definitely help. There is a saying that "reading is like breaking ten thousand volumes, and writing is like being a god."

Second, when you were doing a math application problem, did you fall into the "trap" of the problem and didn't see the "trap" it set? Difficult thinking expansion questions, you may not understand the meaning of the questions after reading them several times. This is your lack of reading comprehension. What shall we do? Read more books! There is another saying, "read it a hundred times, and its meaning will show itself."

Therefore, reading is the basis of learning. If your reading ability is not improved, it will affect your other classes.

When you grow up in the future, you will learn something that the teacher has not taught. "Self-study" is to learn some knowledge by reading books by yourself. When you can "teach yourself", will your skills be great? You don't need a teacher anymore. He thought for a moment, hey, this is good, without a teacher, it sounds awesome. However, a self-taught person must be a person who can read, or he will not understand.

Your reading ability is needed everywhere in your life. When you play a game, you must understand the rules of the game; When you travel, you should read the guidebook. When you buy home appliances, you should read the instructions; When you buy insurance, you need to know the insurance contract ... there are many examples.

I'll tell him again, you see, grandpa ordered three newspapers, and every night when you are asleep, he is still reading the newspaper because there is a lot of information in the newspaper. Reading can help us understand the world today, our country, what is happening around us, and different people's different views on these things. What progress has been made in science and technology in our country? How about the sports performance of the East Asian Games? Even what will the weather be like tomorrow? It's all in the newspaper. Therefore, reading is still a good way to get information.

Also, you know that mom's hobby is reading novels. When people are young, their hobbies are generally playing. When they grow up, they will stop playing, and the hobbies that can persist at that time will accompany them for life. People will encounter many difficulties and twists and turns in their lives. When you are in a bad mood, mom hopes you can use hobbies to improve your mood and get rid of these bad emotions, such as sadness and anger. If you can play the piano, you can play a song; If you can draw, you can go to a beautiful place to sketch ... If not, at least you can drink tea and read books. You can see other people's lives and wisdom from books, and you will feel that the troubles in front of you are nothing.

My son has an extracurricular English class in New Oriental. I gave him an example. Yu, the founder and chairman of the "New Oriental" teaching institution, was a student of English Department in Peking University at university. He has read 800 books. During his four years in college, he read an average of 200 books a year and finished a book in almost two days. I grew up in the countryside, and today he has made such achievements, which I think is inseparable from his love of reading.

For another example, when my mother was in middle school, in order to study more, she went to the school library as a voluntary librarian, used her spare time to sort out books and registered students who borrowed and returned books. At that time, one of the students who borrowed the most books was Cao Kefan, who is now a famous host in Shanghai, but my alumni are several grades older than me. I remember that even before the senior high school entrance examination, he borrowed literary books to read. As we all know, he later studied in a medical university and got a master's degree in medicine, which shows that his study is not limited to his studies, which also laid the foundation for his successful career change.

So, now that the Internet is so developed and TV programs are so rich, is it necessary to study? Just watch TV and surf the Internet. I think online reading is certainly a kind of reading, but the traditional reading method still has many advantages. For example, you can borrow books from the library; For example, the place, time and posture of reading can be arbitrary; For example, the latest version of the book can't be downloaded for free on the Internet, and there are copyright problems; For example, if you can, you can collect your favorite books, mark them when you read them, and read them in a few years, because with the growth of age and experience, your understanding of the contents of the books may be different ... As for film and television programs and written works, I don't think they are actually the same art form. Just like The Wind, a movie with a high attendance rate a while ago, I have read almost all his novels by the original author Mai Jia, such as The Wind, Assassination, Decryption, Military and so on. In fact, novels and movies are completely different. Novels give people more imagination. I remember it said, "A thousand people have a thousand Hamlets in their hearts"! Film and television works are recreated by directors according to their own understanding, so several famous works will be remake repeatedly. Also, the beauty of words also needs to be read and savored. For example, Zhu Ziqing's Moonlight on the Lotus Pond will require children to recite it later. "On the winding lotus pond, the leaves of Tian Tian are expected. The leaves are high above the water, like a slim dancer's skirt. " These beautiful words are difficult to express incisively and vividly in the film and television pictures.

The above mentioned my opinion "Why should we cultivate children's interest in reading". Let's talk about how I stimulate children's interest in reading and how to do it.

It can be said that I haven't found a way to "try once and try everything" so far. I can only say a few methods I have tried, staggered combination. You can see if it is feasible according to the characteristics of your children.

First, arouse his curiosity and keep his appetite alive.

For example, take a book I want to recommend to him, read it in front of him deliberately, and occasionally make a laugh and sigh. He will ask curiously: Mom, what are you reading? Books suitable for this method should be close to children's lives, such as naughty Ma Xiaotiao series, A?vagho?a Plus series, Gary for boys, Jame for girls, big-headed sons and small-headed fathers.

Second, attract him with other art forms.

When I was a child, I once went to the movies with my parents, foreign movies. In the early 1980s, it was unusual to see a foreign film. The film is called The Count of Monte Cristo, which is very long and divided into two parts. I read it, but I didn't understand it. I don't understand the background of that era at all, let alone human nature. Later, I borrowed a book, bought a book, read it again and again, and read it again a few years ago.

In other words, you can seduce him first with comics, comics, TV movies. Then recommend the original to him. This move is suitable for more classic books.

The father of the child even tried to watch TV programs "Lecture Room" and "Cultural China" in front of the child, hoping to arouse his interest in literature and history. Although it doesn't have much effect, he also knows Yi Zhongtian's "Three Kingdoms"; Qian Wenzhong explained the Saint Amethyst. Perhaps, one day in the future, he suddenly remembered something and suddenly became interested, or maybe. The child doesn't seem to care about it, but it's all printed in his mind. We traveled to Xiamen last year, and he proposed to visit Yi Zhongtian at Xiamen University. I was very happy to hear that, so Yi Zhongtian left a deep impression on him.

Third, read it to him.

Children's initial reading behavior comes from parents reading to him, and children's reading interest begins here. I bought some tapes, such as "Sister Swallow Tells Stories", since my children went to small classes in kindergarten. Among them, the race between the tortoise and the rabbit, the spray is coming, and the three monks ... fairy tales and fables are the main stories. Play it to children every night, and get into the habit of listening to stories first.

I was tired of listening to it, so I read these tapes to him myself.

I remember the summer vacation before the first grade, I was very worried about whether my children could adapt to the life in primary school, and I was also very uneasy. I bought a copy of Jia when I was a freshman, including Jia's new schoolbag, which I also learned in Chinese class in Grade One and Grade Two. I read them to him one by one, which made him imagine and yearn for the life of senior one.

When his literacy reaches a certain level, I will use this trick again when he is in the second and third grades. I read it halfway on purpose and said to him, "Oh, there is no time to watch it. What should I do? " He had no choice. If he wants to know how to finish the funeral, he can only watch it by himself. This trick is suitable for books with suspense, such as Zheng's detective novels, fairy tales, Journey to the West and so on.

Fourth, read the newspaper.

We use Xinmin Evening News at home. When the kindergarten was in a big class, the teacher asked the children to make a news clipping every week. This method is very effective. In order to get the teacher's praise, the children carefully searched for news in the newspaper. So we didn't teach him to look at pictures before going to elementary school, but he could recognize the headlines of Xinmin Evening News. As soon as he started school, his self-confidence increased greatly because he could read and help copy, which became a good start for his primary school study.

Now we show him the contents of the "Luminous Cup" page of Xinmin Evening News every Sunday evening, which contains excellent compositions of students of all grades and "satire and humor" that he also likes.

5. Reciting or storytelling training.

These trainings are suitable for children with expressive ability and a little literary expertise. This kind of training requires her to read and recite many poems, essays, stories and so on.

Sixth, buy teaching AIDS.

For example, "Approaching Reading" and "Reading for Pupils" are equivalent to reading analysis exercises, a short essay, and then several questions and answers. The answers are at the end of the book.

In short, let children feel that reading is an interesting thing and do not advocate pressure. Our child's father once had "extreme left" behavior. He once borrowed a children's edition for five thousand years, and made his son repeat two stories every day during the summer vacation, which scared the child to death. Fortunately, the summer vacation is over, the school starts, and his father doesn't care so much. Therefore, we should also pay attention to protecting the interests of children. A watched pot never boils. It is important to persevere in order to proceed step by step.

Parents must have their own clever tricks, and they really want to have the opportunity to listen to your's experience.

Let's talk about the source of books, the choice of books and good reading habits.

Now children can borrow two books every two weeks at school, which is great. Borrowing books is convenient, the content is guaranteed, and there will be no unhealthy content for children.

In addition, some district libraries can also borrow books. Get a library card, provide ID number, 100 deposit, or 50-60 yuan deposit for children. Their books can be checked out or read in. We have a library card of Huangpu District Children's Library. There is also a children's library on Nanjing West Road, formerly called Soong Ching Ling Library. Nanjing West Road is near Maoming Road and comes out of Shimen Road of the subway. The four-story small building has a good environment, including children's playground, computer room and so on. Now it seems that Xuhui District Library also has a children's library, which is generally open on weekends and winter vacations. You can go and have a look if you are interested. It's near Tianyaoqiao Road, Nandan Road. The library is safer. Children can read books and adults can go shopping nearby.

When I was a child, we went to Xinhua Bookstore on the fifth floor of Xujiahui Ganghui Plaza to read books. The children sat on the ground, which was fairly clean. We can look at all kinds of children's paintings at will, without taking them out or paying for them. Now that bookstore has shrunk. The bookstore in the building opposite Kodak Cinema in Luomei is still quite large.

Most children of this age like to watch humorous stories, so it is recommended to choose humorous stories. At the same time, according to the characteristics of children's fantasy, recommend imaginative and exaggerated books. I don't think it's necessary to worry about his naivety. He will gradually mature.

Also, you should pay attention to some good habits when reading. For example, don't be too tired with your eyes, don't read in a bad light, don't read in a shaking car, and don't lie down and read. Choose a book with words that are not too small, and the paper color should be softer and not too white. Take good care of the borrowed books, don't scribble on them, scribble math, and don't bend corners. If you haven't finished reading it, put it in a bookmark or notebook.

I don't think it's necessary for him to look up words he doesn't know immediately. He can guess the meaning by contacting the context first. Frequently stopping to look up the dictionary may interrupt his interest in reading. I asked the children to ask me directly. I tell him the pronunciation and meaning directly, and then make a word or a sentence to explain it.

The atmosphere of reading is also very important. Try not to disturb my child when he is reading. I never watch TV when my children are doing homework or reading. I also asked his father not to watch computers at the same time, because children think that watching computers is entertainment, playing games and watching stocks. So as not to distract him or feel that adults and children are unfair.

Finally, I want to say that educating children is a university question, and the process of children's learning is also the process of our parents' re-learning. Today, I am very grateful to the school for providing me with an opportunity to review the experience of growing up with my children in recent years. Thank you very much for your patience. I hope I can learn from you in the future.
