For children, books are the best tools to know and explore the world.

Every book is a small world. When countless small worlds are integrated in children's minds, an invisible network is formed.

The more books children read, the bigger the net; The richer the content of reading, the more colorful the network will be.

We can't deny that reading can tap and cultivate children's hobbies; Reading will make children form a good character and a sound personality; Reading can increase children's self-confidence. And all this will affect a person's life.

Reading is the best way for a person to grow up all his life, and I think reading is a journey to find himself-the starting point of this journey is the birth of a child; The end point is the end point of a person's life.

There is an old saying in China called "Read thousands of books and take Wan Li Road". For most people, "Wan Li Road" is not difficult to achieve, but "reading thousands of books" is really a headache.

Nowadays, parents of young children are mainly born in the 1980s. This group of people has an obvious imprint of the times: most of the post-80s groups have received higher education, but this kind of education is exam-oriented and passive. Therefore, the parents of the post-80s generation have a very avant-garde awareness of their children's education, but they are slightly lacking in specific educational methods.

Back to children's reading, we found that many parents attach great importance to children's reading guidance at present, but it is also difficult for parents who are not good at reading.

In parent-child reading, parents often encounter the following three major problems:

First of all, we have to think, are these problems the children's fault? How can we solve these problems and make children fall in love with reading?

In view of the above problems, I summed up some experiences of parent-child reading in the past four years and shared them with you.

The key to children's inability to understand books is not poor comprehension, but parents' wrong choice of books.

Let me give you a very simple example. If you tell a 65,438+0-year-old child the story of Little Red Riding Hood, the child will not only understand it, but will certainly not like it.

Why?

Because 1 year-old children have very limited understanding of language, they are still in the process of exploring the world, and they are interested in very simple and intuitive things, such as colors, shapes and some very simple sounds.

I believe that every parent has the experience of choosing the wrong book, and so do I.

Understanding the psychology and characteristics of children of different ages is the premise of choosing the right book.

We found that the classification of books on major websites is relatively general, not very detailed. General booksellers divide children's books into two categories: 0-3 years old and 3-6 years old. However, every stage of children's growth has very distinct characteristics, especially during the period of 0-3 years old. Almost every month, children's cognitive progress can be seen quickly. If we really buy books for 1 year-old children in the range of 0-3 years old, the deviation may be great.

How on earth should we choose books?

The following will take children aged 0-5 as an example to give parents a preliminary understanding of the method and importance of "graded reading".

0- 1 year-old baby is in the exploratory period.

Parents can choose to read cards, cloth books, audio books and touch books for infants (by touching books made of different materials, such as dog hair, crocodile skin and bird hair, etc.). Children can feel the wonderful world).

◎ 4 books (sets) are suitable for children aged 0- 1 year.

1, bright and exquisite touch book series

This is a touching set of books with four volumes: Billy Rabbit, Oscar Otter, Oz Owl and Bobby Bear. These four books introduce four kinds of small animals respectively. They have different textures of fur. If children touch it, they will have a very intuitive impression of animals. )

2. "Listen, what's that noise?"

This is a set of audio books, which brings together 36 kinds of "real soundtracks" such as animals, traffic, musical instruments and nature. This is a bilingual book. )

3, "Chicken Ball Good Habit Doll Toy Book"

This is a very interesting toy book, which is very suitable for the parent-child interaction of infants. )

4. Baby visual enlightenment wisdom picture book

This set of books is very suitable for infants to read, inspiring infants to know colors and lines, thus connecting with life. )

Children in this period are in the cognitive stage. Most children learn to talk and walk during this period and have a preliminary understanding of the world.

Flip through books, pop-up books, cave books and audio books are all very good reading choices for children at this stage.

A set of pages that my daughter likes very much is the children's pages series.

This set of books consists of seven volumes, namely, I want to poop, I want to brush my teeth, I want to take a shower, Hello, Strawberry Snacks, Here comes the bus, and I like swimming.

This set of books describes our daily life scenes and will give children a mental health. Moreover, this set of books is a very interesting three-dimensional page-turning book with few words, and the page-turning of the book will present a very vivid and interesting picture. Even if adults don't explain, children can understand the content in the process of turning pages.

◎ 4 books (sets) are suitable for children aged 1-2.

1, dear zoo

A set of picture books for children to know about small animals. The English title is Dear Zoo. The English version is highly recommended. )

2. "Look, naked! 》

1-2-year-olds are curious about their bodies. This book is very suitable for children around 2 years old.

3. "Let fun reveal the small world" series

This is a set of page-turning books, including city, forest, ocean and four seasons. There are also the second seasons of Animal Home, Farm, Dinosaur and Night, all of which are very nice.

4. The first and second series of cave books

The first series includes two volumes of whimsical three-dimensional toy books, and the second series includes two volumes of Zoo in Rainy Days and Follow Me, Elf. This set of books is very famous, known as the French national treasure children's book)

2-3 years old is the period when children actively explore and learn.

Sticker books, audio books, game books (such as maze books) and picture books with animals as the protagonist or life as the theme are very popular among children. However, the number of picture books should not be too many, and 150 -200 words is appropriate.

I recommend a great set of books to parents of children aged 2-3: Oborn's world classic fairy tale paper carving book. This book has four volumes: Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast and Sleeping Beauty.

This set of books is particularly exquisite and beautiful. Every page of the book is carved, and every page is related. Very three-dimensional and very eye-catching. Most importantly, this set of books has few words, which is especially suitable for children aged 2-3. This set of books is also available in English, but I still recommend the reading chinese version. Because the reading level of the English version is beyond the range that children can understand.

There is also a set of children's songs recommended to everyone: "Fun Interactive Phonetic Book: I can sing children's songs".

This book is a very good English enlightenment book, which contains 20 classic English nursery rhymes. Its sound quality is very good. Children's songs are sung by adult female voices. Not only is the pronunciation standard, but the child also sounds like his mother's voice, which is very kind.

This book is one of my daughter's favorite books. The most gratifying thing is that in the process of listening to the book repeatedly, the child learned all the nursery rhymes in the book.

◎ 4 books (sets) suitable for children aged 2-3.

1, baby's quantum physics

(Very simple popular science book, suitable for children around 2 years old to read. In fact, this set of books can be read at the age of 1-2, but children's understanding ability is limited at this time, and personally feel that the reading effect is better at the age of 2-3. )

2. "Serena rushes forward"

This is a book about children's sexual enlightenment. In parent-child reading, parents are advised not to read too much, but to let their children understand and experience themselves through repeated reading. )

3, "French children's music enlightenment vocal book"

(highly recommended! ! ! This set of audio books has excellent sound quality! The track is super classic! )

4. The first word 100 of 4.Peppa ("the word 100 of Page")

(Piggy Peggy is a very powerful IP, and children like it very much. This book will make children feel intimate with things in life from TV. Learning the common words 100 from this book is very effective. )

3-4 years old is a critical period for children's language enlightenment and thinking enlightenment, and it is also a critical period for cultivating good habits.

In the face of children in this period, you can buy some books with high knowledge content, such as enlightenment books, science fiction picture books and popular science picture books. Of course, fairy tales are indispensable, and even these interesting and bizarre story books account for half of the books read by children aged 3-4. These books can not only develop children's imagination and logical thinking ability, but also cultivate children's interests in different aspects.

I solemnly recommend a set of enlightenment books: Moby loves mathematics. This set of books is systematic, scientific and interesting. Children can contact mathematics and learn mathematical thinking through this set of books. It is a very good teaching material for children's thinking enlightenment ~

◎ 5 books (sets) suitable for children aged 3-4.

1, a children's science fiction picture book recommended by Liu

(highly recommended! ! ! This set of picture books includes four volumes: Breaking into a Wormhole by mistake, Saka People and Stars, Black Hole Maker and Star Wars. This set of books is very interesting and has a certain knowledge content, and children must never get tired of reading it. )

2. The Little Prince

Philosophical fairy tales are very, very worth reading, and children over 3 years old can generally understand them. )

3. Miyanishi series picture books

I like Miyanishi's picture books very much. They are warm and caring. )

4. Children's English Enlightenment Audio Picture Book

(highly recommended! ! ! A set of 12 volumes, from simple to difficult to read in grades. This set of books is very, very good Not only is the content interesting, but there is a children's song at the back of each book, which connects the contents of the whole book in series. Children's songs are very nice. Another reason I strongly recommend is that you can listen to the original sound by scanning the code, and parents who are not accurate in pronunciation no longer have to worry about their pronunciation ~)

5. My First Book of Chinese Characters/Chinese Characters Painted

Children aged 3-4 are the best age for Chinese character enlightenment. The books written by Xiaoxiang Chinese characters are very good. Pictographic literacy is a very scientific literacy method, which is not only vivid, but also allows children to understand the history of Chinese characters and the principle of word-making. This is a very good children's book. )

Children aged 4-5 have the ability to think independently, so the interest in books and the interaction between parents and children in reading are extremely important.

A set of books that I strongly recommend is Magic School Bus. This is a set of interesting science fiction picture books. In fact, you can read this set of picture books after you are 3 years old, because every child's understanding is different. About 4 years old is the best time to contact this set of books.

This set of books not only enables children to gain a lot of knowledge, but also teaches parents another educational method-immersion education-to explore in nature and life and find answers.

I think 4-5 years old is also an ideal period for children's language and Chinese studies enlightenment.

In fact, many children started their language and Chinese studies at the age of 3, but by the age of 4-5, the semester enlightenment of language and Chinese studies can be deepened. For example, learning the principles of Chinese characters; Learn the general meaning of ancient poetry; Learn to use simple words and sentences; Learn to express simple English sentence patterns ...

At this stage, children will have a very strong interest in learning. If we allocate time reasonably and combine work and rest, it will definitely make children's learning effect more effective.

◎ 5 books (sets) suitable for children aged 4-5.

1, an ancient poem for children

It is not so much an ancient poem for children as an ancient poem for children and adults. This book subverts our previous understanding of ancient poetry, and Mr. Ye Jiaying corrected the pronunciation of many ancient poems. This book can be said to be the most authoritative ancient poetry book so far, and it is a textbook for children and parents to study together. )

2. The Big Universe

This is a new book with eye-catching pictures and easy-to-understand content. This is a great popular science book. )

3. Genius Leonardo da Vinci

This is also a new book, which has been included in my recent book list. Why do you read this book to your children? In addition to his lovely style and excellent content, Leonardo da Vinci is an example worthy of children's learning. This book has a little more words and is suitable for children of this age. At the same time, I also have a biography of Leonardo da Vinci to let children know that their mother is reading the same book. Is it more interesting for children? )

4. Fantasy Science

The content of this picture book is very extensive, including astronomy, geography and other disciplines, which can greatly satisfy children's curiosity. )

5. Disney bilingual classic movie stories

This classic movie picture book is my daughter's favorite book. Parents can let their children learn the same story from two dimensions by "reading+watching movies". The combination of books and movies will produce a very wonderful chemical reaction, and Disney's classic movie stories are really endless. It should be noted that this set of books is slightly thicker and has more words, which can cultivate children's concentration. )

Failure to finish reading picture books is usually caused by the following reasons:

1, the picture book content exceeds children's reading.

In order to solve this problem, we can refer to the content of the first subtitle and choose suitable books for children according to the concept of "graded reading".

2. The child's concentration is not enough.

Our new generation of parents have deeply realized the importance of concentration and consciously cultivated their children's concentration.

In the process of reading, children can't understand, can't finish reading, and are distracted, largely because of insufficient concentration.

In fact, reading itself is a way to cultivate children's concentration, and parents should let their children have a certain sense of ritual in reading. For example, reading at a fixed time (such as before going to bed); Reading in a specific place (such as sofa, bed, specific reading corner) and so on. A sense of ritual will make children enter a specific state and make their spirit more concentrated.

In addition, there are some games to train concentration, such as drawing, making handicrafts, pasting books, walking mazes, playing chess, doing puzzles and finding differences. These games are fun and help to train children's attention.

I have an article devoted to "concentration". Please refer to: "Poor grades, distraction and impulsiveness are all due to inattention? Concentration is more important than IQ ")

3. Parents are too blunt, don't read picture books and don't enter the role.

Reading aloud is an art. In fact, it is very important for parents to read picture books to their children.

You can imagine the difference between reading picture books with sound and feeling and reading picture books mechanically.

If parents just read words without emotion and have no interaction with their children, it will be difficult for children to understand the meaning.

How do parents change reading picture books?

There are a few tips:

First, full of sound and emotion, read aloud in different roles.

Full of sound and emotion doesn't mean reading aloud exaggeratedly. I don't recommend parents to imitate their children's pronunciation and intonation to read picture books, and parents don't have to pretend to be cute. Reading aloud with the most standard emotional voice is helpful for children to understand and exercise their language expression ability.

Second, have some interaction with children.

For example, in the process of reading, point your finger at the picture of the key plot and let the children pay attention to the content depicted in the picture; Parents can also ask their children questions in key plots and let them guess what will happen next; You can also ask a question at the end of the story for the children to answer.

These small interactions are very helpful for children to understand picture books. This will also help children develop a very good reading habit, so that children can constantly recall what they have read in their minds. With the growth of age, children will slowly retell the outline of the story, which means that children can fully understand a book.

When parents choose books for their children, they often have narrow content and subject matter.

For example, some children have artistic talent, and their parents buy a lot of art books, but ignore popular science books; Some parents want to enlighten their children's English early, so they ignore books on Chinese studies. ...

In terms of content selection, parents should have diversified perspectives on book selection, which can not only cater to children's curiosity, but also make children curious about new fields and tap their more potential.

I suggest parents take their children to bookstores more often, especially bookstores with children's reading areas.

One of the biggest drawbacks of buying books online is that artificial intelligence algorithms will calculate our behavior trajectory and hobbies, and then recommend "unexpected" books to us, which makes us miss many opportunities to find other types of books. But visiting a bookstore is different. Bookstores don't cater to someone. We can see more books in the bookstore.

Therefore, visiting the bookstore is a very good way to choose books.

There are actually many ways to make children fall in love with reading.

The above is a summary of my personal experience, and there is another book that I strongly recommend to parents. This book is the secret of loving reading.

The content of this book is absolutely dry and very practical. After reading it, I have a strong sense of singing.

There is also a small surprise in this book: giving away an extremely beautiful notebook.

Reading time:

Find the most worthwhile book.
