The importance of early reading ability
More and more research institutions and research results show that children's reading ability in preschool stage will directly affect their later academic performance. Because reading ability is the basic ability, learning of every other subject depends on reading, and reading ability is the core of learning ability. I met a child before, and he couldn't do application problems. Later, the teacher found out the reason and asked him to look at the problem and explain the meaning of each sentence, but the explanation was not clear. This is that reading ability is not enough, which affects math performance.
Many primary school teachers also said that children who didn't develop good reading habits before school, or whose parents didn't pay attention to reading, were poor in the breadth and depth of thinking, fluency of language expression and reading richness of vocabulary.
Moreover, not only the senior high school entrance examination, the college entrance examination, the civil service examination and the English grade examination now have a large number of questions, which need fast and good reading ability as support.

Moreover, we are increasingly aware that the cultivation of children's reading ability is very important for him to become a successful reader in the future. And whether a successful reader affects whether he can become a successful leader. There is a similar proverb in English: the leader is the reader.
Reading ability is important because reading helps to cope with the ever-changing world. Facing the uncertain future, children's lifelong learning ability will become the biggest insurance. A good reader is superior to others in knowledge reserve, intellectual development and involvement of new knowledge.
Reading is the lowest cost for a child to become a success. In cities, learning piano, art and dance costs thousands or even tens of thousands of tuition fees, and buying books (especially classic picture books and books) is much more expensive.
The core of early reading ability is autonomous reading ability.
Early reading has a special core ability, which is called autonomous reading ability. Moreover, the requirements of children's early reading are clearly included in the target system of Chinese education in the Outline for the Development of Children Aged 3-6. Put forward "to cultivate children's interest in simple marks and words that are common in life;" Use books, paintings and other ways to stimulate children's interest in books, reading and writing, and cultivate children's ability before reading and writing. "This fully reflects the advocacy and attention to children's early reading. Children before the age of 7 should master the basic reading ability, that is, the consciousness and skills of independent reading. Cultivating large-class children's autonomous reading ability can not only prepare them for formal reading and writing education after entering primary school, but also lay the foundation for their lifelong learning.

Because people are more and more aware that 3-8 years old is a critical period for children's reading ability development. At this stage, children's oral expression ability develops rapidly, and they begin to understand symbols and the relationship between symbols and words, and try to explain their experiences in the language they have learned.
My son often reads some picture books with some idioms, which are in a mess and stagger. Sometimes, the table is messy, and he himself will use the idiom he has learned to express it. "Look, it is a good thing for you to yell at it!" "Does it sound lively and funny to adults?
How to Cultivate Children's Independent Reading Ability
First, create a good reading atmosphere at home.
Experts point out that the most important influence of cultivating environment is interest in reading. If children want to love reading, parents should set an example. If parents watch mobile phones at home all day, how can children fall in love with reading? Only when parents leave books at home can children love reading. The ideal environment is a home full of books.

Second, parent-child reading is the best way to cultivate children's independent reading ability.
Nowadays, more and more educators in the world realize that parent-child reading is a good way to strengthen early reading education. However, in our country, many parents do not correctly understand the correct meaning of children's reading activities and lack scientific understanding of children's early reading activities. Parents in China can insist on reading with their children for no more than 20 minutes every day.

Third, sharing reading promotes children's early independent reading ability.
Parents can share sequels, expression demonstrations, homemade books and other reading methods, fully arouse children's interest and stimulate their desire to talk.
1, continuation method: we only tell the beginning of the story, let the children spread their imagination wings, guess what will happen later, and let the children tell the story. A child with strong ability can tell the meridian, process and result of the story more completely. Children with weak ability sometimes need our help to straighten it out, but because of their different experiences and imaginary stories, even if they stutter, it is their own language and can still attract other children to listen to the content.
2. Expression demonstration method: When the child is 5 years old, he knows more and more Chinese characters. Sometimes, I let my child read a sentence by himself, and just tell him with his expression whether you can read it correctly or not. When children see my different expressions, they will read every Chinese character more carefully, and those who don't know will ask their peers.
3. Self-made book method: 5-year-old children's thinking logic has been formed, and they can process perceptual knowledge into complete and smooth events in their own minds. Self-made calligraphy is a method of making books. When children have a desire to make up stories after reading books, or have a desire to express interesting things today, they are provided with the paper and pencil they need, so that they can draw relevant pictures in their minds and share them with their peers. Maybe sometimes the pictures drawn by children are not very similar, maybe sometimes the work of matching words needs the help of adults (children dictate adult records), but the production of books makes children feel particularly fulfilled. Other children also like to read homemade books, and they often discuss them in a low voice when reading, which is particularly exciting.

Some misunderstandings in early reading
Early reading mainly includes: before reading, before literacy and before writing. Adding a prefix is to distinguish it from formal reading, literacy and writing.
Pre-reading is to let children cultivate the experience of turning pages, know how to turn pages, find the expressions and actions of the characters in the book, and connect stories with their own language.
Before literacy, it is not the study of reciting Chinese characters in primary schools, but to let children know that Chinese characters are meaningful, understand the writing rules of Chinese characters, and understand the functions and functions of Chinese characters. It may not be thorough enough. For example, when a child sees a traffic sign on the road and asks his father what it means, his father tells the child that it is "no parking" and explains what it means. This process is pre-literacy.
Before writing, it is not for children to write, but for children to know the shelf structure of Chinese characters and what tools Chinese characters are written with.

However, there are some misunderstandings about early reading in kindergarten teaching practice or parents' understanding.
One is to equate early reading with early literacy, and reading is literacy, so children must know these words.
The second is to equate morning reading with reading picture books. It can only be said that picture books are one of them, but not all of them. For example, the traffic signs that children see on the road and some advertisements on the street belong to the scope of early reading.
The third is to equate early reading with potential development. And now there are many such products on the market, in fact, many of them are deceptive.
3~8 years old is a critical period for children's reading ability development. Parents must pay more attention to creating a good reading environment for their children. Suhomlinski said: "Language is the foundation of intellectual development and the treasure house of all knowledge." Let's cultivate children's good reading interest and habits from childhood, which will definitely be the golden key to open children's intelligence.
