Some parents think: "What's the point of letting children learn so early? Can reading pictures improve children's intelligence? Reading should not be something that children should do in early childhood. "
They believe that in the process of children's natural growth, physical growth is the first, and then intellectual development. Children in modern cities have basically lost the opportunity to communicate with nature. If they study too early, it is easy to destroy children's understanding and feelings about the world and their keen perception of nature.
Another part of parents think: "Reading is conducive to expanding knowledge. Children can study early and know many words in advance, which is conducive to learning in primary school. "
Tintin's mother likes reading, especially obsessed with ancient poetry. When Tintin was just full moon, her mother picked up an ancient poem every day, hugged him and read, "Is there frost at the foot of my bed so bright?" ... one sentence after another
For Tintin's mother, she didn't think about reading early at that time, but because she liked it. But I didn't expect that after she insisted on reading ancient poems to Ding Ding, the little guy seemed to be interested in ancient poems. Every time he heard his mother read aloud, his eyes lit up and he listened carefully.
When the little guy first started talking, as long as his mother made a sound, he would "read" it like her. Although it is not clear, it is also a fact. Tintin's mother was inspired by her son, and when reading ancient poems with him, she also increased her understanding. Slowly, Tintin became fluent and could recite several poems.
Ding Ding is not only interested in ancient poetry, but also interested in other books. He often points to books for his parents to read to him. More importantly, the little guy is very lively. If there are guests at home, he will happily stand in front of everyone and read us a poem as soon as he says Tintin. In kindergarten, he can remember everything the teacher taught him quickly.
Tintin's case shows that early reading is still very beneficial to children. However, how to guide children to read early should be a concern of many early education parents. When some people hear the word "early reading", they will first associate it with "literacy" and think that early reading equals literacy. Whether reading is equivalent to literacy is as controversial as whether reading early. Many people even confuse this question. They think that the books that babies usually read are mainly pictures. If the child wants to know what a word means, tell him or her. If they don't ask, let them look at the pictures themselves.
In fact, for children, reading is a kind of learning, and they are learning reading strategies. Our adult reading is largely an experience.
Therefore, as parents, we must first cultivate children's attitude of active learning. In contrast, literacy is not so important. Literacy is only a by-product of reading. Generally, children who love reading will take the initiative to ask for literacy. If they want to know the word, their parents can tell them, but they don't have to force them to remember it. If they don't remember, they will be punished. In other words, don't force children to read, and don't make them feel that "reading" is a very painful thing, because doing so will violate the purpose of early reading.
However, some parents still regard how many words their children know as the standard to evaluate their intelligence, and even take pride in their children's literacy ability. Whether children are smart should not be reflected in how much they can read and how many ancient poems they can recite, but in whether their bodies, expressions, emotions and other aspects have been fully developed.
When they go out with their parents, it is also a kind of reading to see the words they know and then read them excitedly. Even when they were still in their mother's belly, her mother began to read stories and articles to them, which was a kind of reading. ...
It can be said that there is no fixed concept about when children start early reading and what kind of reading methods they adopt. As long as you like, you can read early to your children on any occasion.
The content of morning reading is very extensive, and anything related to words can be counted as the scope of morning reading. Literacy is only one aspect, and it cannot be achieved overnight. It should be gradual and accumulated over time. Therefore, parents must grasp the degree of how many words their children know in early reading, so that children can read early in pleasure, and how much literacy is not important.
Since early reading is not the same as early literacy, what should children read in early reading? It is best to choose according to the child's hobbies and personality characteristics. Generally speaking, infants tend to read books with bright colors and rich illustrations. They usually require stories to be easy to understand, humorous, simple, vivid, catchy and easy to learn and remember. For example, tinker man, happy literacy, pinyin reading and so on. These books may be simple, but they can reflect many principles of being a man. Good books can enlighten children and change their bad behavior. This is exactly what children expect to achieve in early reading.
So when should early reading start? The essence of early reading is the process for babies to understand words with some colors and images and parents' voices through pictures. Simply put, for infants, any activity related to reading can be called reading. For example, a child who is just full of months, whether playing a book or watching the pictures in the book tear and type, can be regarded as a kind of reading. When they see adults sitting on the sofa reading newspapers, they pretend to pick up the newspaper and "read" it seriously, no matter whether it is positive or negative, it is also a kind of reading.
