Heping is now two and a half years old. The aunts and uncles who know him say that he is a child who loves to read. In fact, for a long time, especially before he was two years old, our family did not like Heping. Story, I don’t like to listen to picture books. One look at it will make you change a book, and two minutes of listening will make you run away. Occasionally, I have to tear up books, throw them everywhere, and cause all kinds of trouble. What an out-and-out "book scum". For this reason, I am very worried. After all, good reading habits will benefit him throughout his life. Moreover, being exposed to picture books since childhood will be of greater help to his language description, vocabulary accumulation, thinking and observation skills. Children like to imitate. In terms of civilized etiquette and behavioral habits, it is more impressive for children to reflect them in stories. For example, I keep saying every day that the socket is powered and cannot be touched. The more Heping is curious about what is inside, the more he wants to touch it. Later, I read a book on cultivating safe behavior habits and saw that after the villain was electrocuted, all his hair stood up and his whole body turned black. He knew it was dangerous and never touched it again. The book "Do not open the door when mother is not at home" not only taught the little rabbit how to be wary of strangers, but also taught him that even if it is a ferocious big bad wolf, he still needs to knock on the door politely when asking others to open the door.

So how did I turn a "book scumbag" into a "bookworm"? The process is tortuous, and terible2's children have made their mother feel frustrated and collapsed several times.

First and foremost, parents must have childlike innocence and patience. Don't think, hey, children's books are too simple and boring. In fact, if you feel it with your heart, every short book has its own truth, which may be touching or inspiring. It could be humorous or heartwarming. It can often touch the softest part of your heart, the beautiful memories of childhood! And every time you read it, you will feel the connotation that he doesn't listen. Like the "Uncle Tagg Who Throws Things" I mentioned before, I was a little dumbfounded when I read it for the first time. I felt that the author was exaggerating. How could such a person exist? . After watching it for the second time, I began to examine myself. Is it related to my behavior and habits when my children throw away books and toys? Instruction through words and deeds is the best teacher.

Secondly, "insist" that he plays with his and you read yours. Don't just read it casually, perfunctory, or look at your phone just to complete the task of "accompanying the baby" because he doesn't listen. This is not effective companionship. Only parents who love reading can teach their children through words and deeds. A parent who loves to play mahjong and watch TV will most likely not be able to raise a child who loves to read. Don't worry that he won't listen. Children are actually much better than we think and have very strong receptive abilities. Your vivid reading and narration will definitely affect him and bring him to a warm scene. Most likely, something from the picture book that he seemed not to have listened to the day before came out of his mouth.

Then, when we choose picture books, in addition to choosing authentic books with safe materials and correct printing. The content should also be carefully selected. Interest is the best teacher. I once followed the trend and bought many so-called classic Japanese picture books, but my children did not like all of them, especially some of the big dinosaur designs with teeth and claws, and they were even a little scared. Therefore, no matter how good the book is, if the children don’t like it or can’t use it, it will just be shelved. Choose picture books with elements or typical characters that your children like. Heping doesn't like walking when he goes out recently and always wants to be hugged. I showed him Qiao Hu's "Don't Hug, Walk Away". If you still want to hug him when you go out, ask him how Qiaohu did it. He will also feel embarrassed and immediately get down and go on his own. Don't worry that your children only have narrow interests in watching Peppa Pig or Anpanman. Children are very curious, their concentration is not that lasting, and their interests often change.

Another important point is that when reading in person, there must be interaction. When reading picture books, try to bring in questions. Mr. Tao Xingzhi said, “Inventing thousands of questions starts with one question.” Questioning is a science and an art. Good questions can mobilize children's enthusiasm for thinking. You can also pull him back when he is not focused enough to avoid being distracted. When reading picture books to young children, don’t ask them to understand the whole book. Ask simple questions and don’t ask too open-ended questions, such as Say: How did you feel after reading it? Uh, feelings? Baby, I don’t know. Try to use straightforward and simple language. What kind of car does Little Bear take to go to school? What color is he wearing? It doesn’t matter if you can’t explain it. We can go back and read it again (frustration reverse quotient cultivation) to encourage children to actively use their brains, express boldly, and enhance memory.

When your baby answers, you must encourage him more and don’t always say: You are awesome! Be sure to say where the stick is. You can say: Wow, baby, you can count. If you count correctly, there are three kittens here! The baby knows that it is wrong for little ducks not to like bathing. Children will feel that their self-confidence has been enhanced, and they will look forward to reading the next picture book.

When Heping and I read picture books, we usually read them several times. The first time I let him read it by himself and tell me what he saw. I don’t correct him or add anything. What he sees is what he sees. The second time, I will read the words in the book without expansion. (This is good for his literacy. Heping knows many words now. We don’t learn Chinese with flash cards, so we all know them this way.) In addition, without expansion, it is This will prevent him from missing words or skipping words while reading in Chinese classes in the future. The third time, there will be some expansion to let the children understand some of the derived meanings in the book. If there is an English version, I will read it again. My English is limited, so I don’t want to absorb much, just sharpen my ears. Due to the child's concentration and the fragmented time of taking care of the child, I usually cannot continue to do it continuously these times, so I try to find every opportunity.

Finally, a passage from picture book master Nao Matsui reminds everyone:

"Reading to children is like traveling to the land of stories hand in hand with them. , *** share the same happy time full of warm words, even after decades, we still treasure these precious experiences and beautiful memories deep in our hearts in our own way! ”
