I'm afraid of this topic. Although my son still likes reading very much, and the reading volume is not bad, in the first grade, it seems that he did not show obvious advantages in word formation, sentence making, picture reading and writing. My reading of my son has always adhered to the principle that "quantitative change leads to qualitative change". Except for the favorite books I read when I was a child, the selected books are basically recommended online, or listed directly on the online children's book list, and then simply and rudely "stuffed", regardless of the effect. Speaking of it, my son's love for reading stems more from his personality. As a mother who accompanied me all the way, my greatest role may be companionship.
Writing this article, on the one hand, I hope to rethink the problem of "reading" by combing my son's reading history from preschool to now; On the other hand, I also hope to give some reference to my friends who attach importance to reading in review.
First, the importance of reading
"The book has its own Yan Ruyu, and the book has its own golden house." "Reading is like breaking thousands of volumes, and writing is like a god." Reading, an ordinary process that we are used to, is actually a process that combines people's hearts with the great wisdom of all ethnic groups, from ancient times to modern times. "Books are still medicine. Good reading can cure fools." ……
Proverbs and famous sayings about "reading is very important" abound all over the world. It can be said that as a mother, I was taught from an early age that "reading more books is the correct way to learn". I have never questioned the importance of reading, but as I grow up, I am getting farther and farther away from real reading, and a lot of fragmented and instant information is flooding my life. In recent years, I have devoted myself to it with an increasingly impetuous and utilitarian reading state. Anxiety!
I transferred my hope (pressure) and hope (strength) of studying to my son. Since he was born, my books are basically children's books. With an impetuous and utilitarian reading mind, I took him to the ocean of books. Fortunately, in the past few years, he likes swimming; Fortunately, he has not "defiled" my impetuousness, and I have begun to reflect.
Reading is a means to enlighten wisdom, broaden horizons and nourish the soul, not an end. You shouldn't study for the sake of studying, and you don't need to worry about reading.
Not to mention those Chinese and foreign celebrities who are born with dyslexia and cannot benefit from reading. Just look around me. In fact, many successful people don't like reading. Among them, the most typical and frank one should be one of my bosses: a background in technology research and development, early success in starting a business, quick thinking, unique vision, strong learning ability, and especially good at employing people. He is a very admirable entrepreneur, but he really doesn't like reading and doesn't hide his resistance to reading. Once I chatted with him, I recommended a management book with good reputation to him. He smiled and said, "Look first." I have a headache as soon as I see a book. "
Pointing out that reading is not a necessary condition for success is not to deny the importance of reading. I just hope that in the process of adjusting the self-reading state and helping children develop good reading habits, when encountering obstacles, I will be less anxious and more peaceful, so that children can truly feel the beauty of reading.
Second, at the beginning of reading, love is cut.
At the stage when children don't have independent reading ability, an inevitable reading method is parent-child reading. In my opinion, the reading form at this stage is even more important than the reading content itself.
Parent-child reading is actually more of an output and expression of love. There is a passage in Jim Treize's reading manual: "You may have unlimited wealth, boxes of jewels and boxes of gold. But you will never be richer than me. I have a mother who reads to me. " Parents pass on love and security to their children through parent-child reading. Many years later, when children grow up and need the shelter of love in the face of setbacks, they may be less afraid and helpless because of the deep memory of "reading = love". They are likely to use reading naturally and habitually, and complete self-salvation in the cruel reality with strength.
Read the manual aloud.
Third, reading enlightenment.
Different from our post-80s childhood, most of our next generation's reading enlightenment began with picture books, especially the foreign classic children's picture books which have been highly respected in recent years. When Lele was about one year old, I began to buy him picture books according to the list of picture books recommended online. Picture books are rich in pictures and few in words, which is really the best reading choice for children who are just beginning to know the world.
There are many lists of excellent picture books. I don't think there is any difference between good and bad, but different children have different preferences. If conditions permit, of course, the more the better. In addition, the picture books that have sprung up in recent years are actually a good choice. You can borrow a batch first, and then choose what your child likes to buy.
A remarkable feature of young reading is repetition over and over again. A picture book has been told dozens of times. Adults are on the verge of collapse, and children are still persistent: "Mom, talk again! Say it again! " This is an age feature, so you can only be patient and follow the demand.
How to read picture books? Word for word? Is it free to play? Or do you mean reading and teaching literacy by the way? I don't think there is a fixed formula. Every child has different needs and preferences. The whole reading process is actually more like "100,000 Why Babies" taking us to play a game of "You ask me and answer me". Their focus may be on pictures, words or picture books. As long as we continue to be patient and give them the initiative, we can cooperate.
David can't.
Naughty children are always more attractive. Looking at David who is picking his nose with a spatula, the children always laugh happily. As my son grew up and began to think independently, I told him about David again, not just hahaha. David is his friend or he. He stood firmly in David's position and defended David's naughty behavior with his immature language. Feeling this change, I bought him a set of classic books, which will be shown in detail below.
Baby bear picture book
To tell the truth, I have no obvious feelings for my son, but if the child likes it, it is really like it. I have already talked about life without love in the singles "Lunch". After a few years, I am relieved. Now a new round of "Little Mouse, can I see your lunch box?" Yes, my daughter likes this picture book, too.
Ants and watermelons
For Lele, which is controlled by the machine, the favorite of this book is the content of watermelon squeezed and stored by the little ants after they brought it home. Just like a simple picture of a funnel on a bottle, he can always maintain a full mental state, as if he had never asked me or answered it, dozens of times and hundreds of times: "Mom, what are they doing?" , "juice! Juice! Juice! " .
Fourth, the expansion of reading.
I turned over the historical order and found that I have been trying to buy my son a book in plain text since he was in a small kindergarten class, trying to increase his reading depth and breadth. But in fact, I dug a hole for myself. At this stage, children are not sensitive to words and prefer to look at images, so the result is that I have read the story book for a long time, but the children are still uninterested and have to give up temporarily.
Books with pure words are a little rare, but picture books with more words and more complicated pictures can still be available. Perhaps it is because the complexity of reading picture books has increased, and the demand for children to explore and discover has also increased. His mother's considerate answer gradually failed to satisfy him. He was eager to understand what the book said, and he began to try to read independently. Even for picture books, the biggest obstacle to independent reading is words, so Lele children began to input "Mom, what is this written?" Stage.
The problem of preschool children's literacy has attracted much attention. I bought members of "Wukong Literacy app" and "Four or Five Fast Reading". After trying, in order to maintain mother's filial piety before going to school, it can only be shelved. Finally, I found that "interest is the best teacher", and there is nothing better than arousing children's interest and making them take the initiative to read. The following are "complex" picture books that Lele likes very much. Because his interest is more inclined to popular science, I will also focus on reading books when I buy them. The first principle of choosing books should be children's interest, and then consider the improvement of complexity on the basis of interest.
Strange physics
Wonderful chemistry
These two books are interesting three-dimensional flip-flops. The forms of books are very diverse and interesting, and the contents are also very vivid and rich. After my son brought it several times, he began to look through it himself and often turned to new ones. He often hears him exclaim, and when he looks at them, he makes new discoveries. The Qiqi series also includes Qiqi Big Mathematics and Qiqi Big Creature, which should be very good.
Magic school bus
This is indeed a set of magical science popularization. As an adult, I also find it attractive. This series should also be regarded as Lele's favorite in kindergarten. He has a "picture version" and a "bridge version" and is going to enter the "reading version".
Dad, dad.
Baba's dad is actually my childhood. Even though I can't say Baba's name yet, it doesn't affect it to become a classic in my mind. There is no generation gap, and my son likes my father very much. The omnipotent Baba family satisfies the children's imaginations of interesting life, starting with two sets.
Verb (abbreviation for verb) curve reading
As mentioned earlier, I introduced pure text books earlier, but it failed to advance smoothly until I found an artifact to assist reading-"Himalayan FM", where I can find most of the audio of classic children's books, and many of them are produced by professional broadcasting, which is more attractive to children.
Lele is a child who doesn't like sleeping, and bedtime stories are absolute welfare for him. It doesn't matter whether the story is too much text or too profound, as long as you can't sleep. Turn off the light and lie in bed and listen to the story quietly. This is a wonderful time of the day to look forward to. It lasts about an hour or two every night until our sister is born.
Besides audio, movies and TV adapted from some classic works are also good reading introductions. Gradually, the child will take the initiative to ask to read the books he has heard and read, and gradually transition to independent pure text reading.
And the feasibility of this curve reading is also reflected in my daughter. Our sister is crazy about Peggy Piggy's cartoons. In order to protect her eyesight, she bought Peggy's series of picture books, and she liked them very much. When she clamored to turn on the TV and watch Peppa~Peppa~, the picture book was replaced and relaxed.
Zheng series.
Biography of Pipiru, Biography of Lu Xixi, Biography of Shukebeta ... Zheng's works are my childhood favorites. When Le Le and I argued that David was not naughty, I knew he would like Zheng's book. Every child has a rebellious and kind heart, and Zheng is the child's bosom friend.
Roald Dahl
Roald series is very readable, and Lele children are particularly excited when they get this set of books, because it contains Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, who has read it three or four times. Besides, other stories are also wonderful.
Since my sister was born, first of all, my son's independent study is relatively smooth, and he really has no time to take care of it. My son hasn't heard "Mom Tells Stories" for a long time, and occasionally he will listen to the "naive" picture book told by his mother with his sister. It can be seen that he still enjoys this time. Of course, me too.
Even if the horror suspense, even if it is terrible, even if it is professional and academic, even if it is monotonous and profound ... we can always feel the beauty, happiness, courage and strength from reading. ...
After reading a lot of books, my son still can't write wonderful words. Who cares? Just read it! Encourage with your son.
