How to Cultivate and Encourage Children's Reading Interest
first, according to children's psychological characteristics, choose the first batch of books that children "love to read" to make children feel good about books.

children are naturally fond of toys, not books. Whether children like reading or not, whether they like reading or not, has a lot to do with parents' training skills. At the early stage of children's learning to read, parents must carefully select the books and periodicals provided to their children. The contents and appearance colors of books and periodicals should try to cater to children's psychology. Don't measure the contents of books and periodicals from an adult's point of view, and don't think that "useful" is something that can be shown to children. In children's eyes, colorful insects, lively and lovely animals, fierce and strange aliens and monsters are much more interesting than A, B, C, D and 1, 2, 3 and 4 in adults' minds. Therefore, in the early days, we should try our best to provide children with some picture books with beautiful printing, rich and interesting content, and plot development in line with children's imagination and thinking characteristics, such as animal albums, colorful science fiction stories and so on.

second, it is not appropriate to control children's reading process too much.

Curiosity, hyperactivity, lack of patience and endurance are the common psychological characteristics of children. Therefore, in the early reading process of children, it is often impossible for them to read a book from beginning to end like adults. Their favorite way of reading is to flip through this book for a while and that one for a while. In this regard, parents should not be eager to get angry with him or express disappointment. As long as the child doesn't tear up or throw books on purpose, parents don't have to pay too much attention to him. Usually, at this stage, parents should feel satisfied as long as their children are willing to read a book with relish in their hands. Because this kind of performance is completely in line with children's early reading psychology, and it is a sign that children have taken an important step on the road of reading and seeking knowledge.

Third, children's reading scope and content should not be limited prematurely, but the right of reading choice should be given to children, so as to provide them with a relaxed and free reading environment as much as possible.

reading is an act of seeking knowledge and a kind of enjoyment. Therefore, in the process of children's reading, parents should not artificially restrict and control the contents, types and scope of the periodicals that are really harmful to children. Usually, the wider the content of the magazines children read, the better. Generally speaking, since primary school, most children have gradually formed their own reading hobbies and interests in the choice of reading content. In this regard, parents should pay attention to observation, understanding and guidance, and should not interfere too much, let alone forcibly change their children's reading hobbies according to their own will, nor should they list the required books for their children according to their own knowledge and reading habits. Otherwise, children will easily have disgust and fear of reading, thus losing interest in reading. In this regard, Susan Rosenweig, an American library science teacher, has a famous saying: "If you want your children to read exactly according to your plan, it is doomed to be short-lived."

Fourth, parents and children read * * * to set a good reading example for children.

Mr. Ruth Graves, former president of the American Reading Association, said: "Now, there is a strange phenomenon in some families: parents like reading books, but they often wait until their children go to bed to sit down and watch them. As a result, children never know that their parents also like reading books. What a pity! " In this regard, experts believe that at home, parents should read books with their children as much as possible and set an example for their children. At the same time, you can often exchange reading methods and experiences with children, encourage children to retell the story or specific content in the book, and tell their own views and opinions, and then analyze and discuss them together. If you do this often, your child's interest in reading may become more intense, and your child's reading level will gradually improve.
