So many parents often wonder why their children don't like reading. This is probably because the child's reading sensitive period has been missed, and the child's reading enthusiasm can no longer be mentioned.
So, what is the sensitive period of children's reading?
If your child has these characteristics, it means that the reading sensitive period is coming:
1, no matter what book you turn over, whether you can understand it or not, read it carefully, and if you can understand it, you will read it repeatedly;
2. Where there are books, such as going to bookstores or libraries, they will keep reading enthusiastically, reading this and that for a while;
3, like to listen to stories, often make up stories for adults, with rich imagination;
4. Pointing at the words in the book, even if you don't understand them most of the time, you will write your own pronunciation.
The sensitive period of reading usually comes when children are four and a half to five and a half years old. Some children with better intelligence will advance, as long as their intelligence is normal, they will generally not exceed six years old. Reading after the age of 6 is more difficult for children to develop interest habits than before the age of 6, so before the age of 6 is also called the golden period of children's reading.
Secondly, there is another opportunity to make up lessons before 14 years old, which is called the silver stage of children's reading. After missing it, children's self-reading consciousness will be much weaker.
There is a saying called. Never too old to learn? Reading is a way of learning, and reading is also an activity that accompanies one's life. Therefore, parents should create a beneficial reading environment for their baby from an early age, cultivate good reading habits and receive useful information from an early age, and lay the foundation for improving the baby's ability to acquire knowledge, appreciate and enjoy.
Here are some suggestions on how to create a beneficial reading environment for your baby.
First, parents should form reading habits, create a reading atmosphere for the whole family, and use behaviors to influence and guide their babies.
Second, pay attention to the physical environment and reading posture. On the one hand, we should have moderate light and keep quiet. On the other hand, when reading, you should keep the correct posture, keep your eyes at a proper distance from the book, and don't get too close. When reading, when the baby can sit up straight, try to keep the correct sitting posture, and don't let the baby lie flat or read.
Third, according to the baby's age and reading ability, choose appropriate reading materials and appropriate reading methods. 1-2-year-old babies can read "Baby Pictorial" and children's songs with one picture, and parents can read children's songs to their babies while pointing at the picture to improve their reading interest. When the baby wants to turn over the books, he can turn over the books that are not easy to tear. Although the baby can't read, this book turning action is also helpful to the development of the baby's intelligence.
Fourth, pay attention to the interaction with the baby. When mom and dad are reading, an expression, an action, a rhetorical question or other questions can attract the baby's attention to the reading content and cause the baby to think.
During the baby's sensitive reading period, the following activities can be carried out to help the baby develop good reading habits and knowledge acquisition ability.
1, see the picture. Need to prepare props, mom and dad need to make some big paper cards with cardboard and white paper, both sides are white, and then draw the outlines of some common objects on one side of the paper card, such as fruits, vegetables, daily necessities, animals and so on. , and write the name of the item on the other side. You can also buy it online, usually an early education card or a literacy card.
Mother prepared five cards and put them on the table, with the patterned side facing up. Mother took a card from it and showed it to the baby. When she drew it, she clearly read the name of the card graphic.
Activity tips, 2-3 times a day can promote the development of baby's visual perception, visual discrimination and visual memory. Let the baby establish a connection between the picture and the corresponding text.
2. Look at the cards to know Chinese characters. Chinese character literacy cards, such as mountains, stones, fields, wind, clouds, snow, etc.
Mom and dad took out a word card and put it in front of the baby, pointing to Chinese characters and reading it to the baby. You can also point to words for your baby to read.
Activity diagram, in this way, the baby can vividly remember some simple and commonly used Chinese characters. Gradually accumulate, and lay a vocabulary foundation for future reading. What needs to be noted here is to avoid letting the baby identify cards whose images and words can't be completely linked. Such as vegetable cards, cards draw a bunch of dishes, which is easy to confuse the baby's thinking.
3, let the baby read the whole article, suitable for over 4 years old. You need to prepare a children's book of about 200 words, usually a story book with pictures and texts.
Mom and dad read to the baby every day, pointing to each word while reading, and matching the corresponding content with the pictures.
There are some things that the baby doesn't understand, and mom and dad need to explain them clearly to the baby. Step by step, until the baby can read these contents by himself.
Activity tips, what parents need to pay attention to here is that whether a picture of a book is suitable for a baby depends not only on the color, shape and composition of the picture, but also on whether it conforms to the plot, whether it is suggestive of the text content and whether it is enlightening.
4. Read popular science and get to know small animals. This is a case.
The 4-year-old baby likes to listen to the popular science article "Cicada" recited by music. Every time the baby finished eating, he turned on his mother's mobile phone, listened to the recording of cicada's soundtrack, listened quietly and imagined every time.
After mom found out, she quickly bought Fables's Insect, found the article Cicada, turned on the recording, and pointed to the words in the book to read to the baby. But the baby still seems to be listening attentively to the reading, just looking at those pictures casually. Mother will no longer disturb the baby to listen to cicada's recitation.
Later in the summer, mom and dad took the baby to grandparents' house, and grandpa caught one for the baby? Understand? Play it for her, and now she is interested. She proudly said, I know, I know, this is a cicada, not a cicada. It will take four years to grow. Is that what the book says? At some point, I actually recited the sentences in the original cicada word for word.
From then on, mom and dad found that if we can combine popular science stories with real life, it will have a good reading comprehension effect. Since then, the baby's parents have paid great attention to taking the baby to see the real animals and plants written in the book.
This case shows that there is nothing wrong with what a mother did for her baby at first, but? Out of date? . Mother thought that she could understand the content of reading by reading and looking at pictures, but she didn't expect the happiness of actual experience to be the premise for her baby to understand.
