What are the benefits of children reading?
1. can help children's brain development.
It can even effectively help children's brain development. According to Healthy Living, a study by Yale University shows that reading can activate children's nervous system, neural network and their connections. Therefore, children's brains will become more receptive to new learning content in the process of learning.
2. Make children's study easier.
According to the website of the Children's Center, children learn to read faster when they are four months to three years old than when they are four years old or older. In the meantime, children can also choose the language and reading speed they want to read. Therefore, teaching children to read at this stage can make their learning process easier.
3. Let children increase their knowledge
Reading makes children dabble in many aspects of knowledge, such as literature, history, geography, science, politics and so on. This broadens their knowledge and is of great benefit to their study.
4. Improve children's writing ability
Primary and middle school students who like reading have mastered the ability of language and writing, often surpassing their peers. They can get good grades without reciting and reciting texts, and they can also get good grades in off-campus exams, because reading improves their writing ability.
5. It can broaden children's life experience.
Children with good reading ability can often stand the test of life, know how to deal with crises and setbacks, and are emotionally stable and happy.
6. Can cultivate children's good listening and speaking habits.
In children's literature, vivid images such as gentle and kind white rabbit, clever and lively little squirrel and fierce and cruel wolf deeply attract children and touch their hearts. So, they will hold their breath and listen attentively. In the big book activity, after a child tells a story, other children will comment, "Do you think he speaks well? Why? " This inevitably requires children to listen purposefully. Under such guidance, children develop the ability to analyze and evaluate what they hear while listening.
7. It can help children communicate with each other in appropriate language.
Children are people living in society, and their language development includes adaptation, understanding and application of multiple languages. Suppose a child only associates with his parents since childhood, then after he opens his own door, there will be all kinds of possible "language barriers" everywhere. They have been exposed to various languages since childhood, which has gradually developed their communicative language skills. In children's study of literary works, children can not only learn Chinese from stories, fairy tales and poems, but also feel the special charm of China's ethnic minorities and the world's children's literature, thus helping children to communicate with others in appropriate languages.
8. Let children enjoy school life better.
Children who have done some reading in the early days can enjoy school life more when they go to school, and even want to go to school every day. This is because children can't overcome the obstacles of reading, so they may not feel very uncomfortable in the classroom. This can also improve children's social skills and help them get along better with others.
9. Can cultivate children's self-confidence
If children study early, they will have more confidence in school. Because children have certain reading skills before, they can help children do more reading exercises and activities in class. This will enhance children's self-confidence, yes, children are more eager to accept some new challenges in their studies.
10. There are many benefits for children in the future.
Children's early reading is very helpful to their life. According to the website of Healthy Living, children who read from childhood can maintain their reading ability better than other children who never read from childhood. Sometimes, the gap between reading and late reading will become more and more obvious as time goes on.
1 1. Parents should pay attention to two points when choosing books for their children:
First, it is best to illustrate. Tuduo is good for developing children's right brain. It can enrich the image in children's minds and is conducive to the development of children's creativity in the future.
Second, try to choose a book. It is best to have only one or two stories in a book, so that children can finish reading a book quickly and feel a sense of accomplishment and pleasure in their hearts. I'll want to see it next time. If parents buy books with fewer pictures and more stories for their children to save money, they will lose interest in reading.
Expanding reading: the cultivation of children's reading ability
In recent years, children's reading has attracted the attention of educational theorists and practitioners all over the world. In the face of this ever-changing and multi-value era, people see more and more clearly that reading is an essential ability for a person. However, children are a critical period for the development of reading ability. How to make children have interest in reading and the ability to read independently has become an important topic in our garden. After a period of research and practice, we are surprised to find that children's brains are rearranged, their external memory and reaction ability are enhanced, their interest in learning is strong, their attention is concentrated, their thinking becomes active, and they know the word "baby" more and more. In order to achieve the purpose of scientific and effective reading and cultivate children's reading ability, I made the following attempts:
First, choose teaching materials suitable for children's age characteristics.
Children's thinking is intuitive and vivid. According to their age, level and interest, I will choose some content with simple content, concise and fluent language, concentrated plot, short space, vivid and interesting pictures and large format as genres. Such as children's songs "Snail" and "We are all good friends"; Stories such as "School is over" and "The Bell of Xiaohua Mall"; Because these contents are easy to stimulate children's interest in learning, they will be catchy to read. In the process of learning, children can extend their emotions, thoughts and experiences. These textbooks, which are suitable for children's efforts, can help children internalize the reading process into a reading ability.
Second, the creation of a good reading environment plays an important role in the reading process.
A good reading atmosphere will bring passion to children and stimulate their enthusiasm for learning. Therefore, I put the creation of environment in a very important position in teaching. In class, I added the words "Baby House" and "Reading sentences every day" so that children can read at any time. At the same time, I also use word baby instead of everything in the classroom to achieve the effect of one-to-one correspondence between things and words, and deepen children's impression of words. Besides, I will actively join the children, and read with them in the morning activities, after school and other spare time, so as to arouse their interest and cultivate correct reading methods. After a period of practice, I found that children are more and more interested in reading. At the same time, various books, especially encyclopedias, with rich contents, vivid and interesting pictures and wide knowledge are provided in the book corner to broaden children's horizons and cultivate their extensive reading interests. Zhang San, Wu, Zhang and other children are all great, and they can lead other children to read like little teachers. Through reading environment, interaction, reading materials and reading forms, children can experience reading behavior and interest, thus enriching the experience of early reading in the construction. Parents are also required to take their children to Xinhua Bookstore to see, read and speak frequently. Or copy what children learn in kindergarten and read it with them when they get home, forming a good habit of reading at home.
Thirdly, using different guiding methods, Chinese characters are block graphics with strong recognition characteristics. How to make children know and remember them in a short time has become the focus of teaching.
Because children are active and easily excited, boring and repetitive reading is not easy to arouse children's interest. In order to arouse children's enthusiasm and attention in learning, the following methods are adopted:
1. Recognize the story first, tell the story first, because children rely on "impression memory", so I used the above two methods to guide them in teaching, such as the children's song "Kangaroo Home". I teach children to learn nursery rhymes first, and then lead them to play games by playing the role of kangaroo mother. In the game, let children review children's songs, learn target words, and increase their interest through games such as competitions and imitations. Use games such as sequential reading, pause reading and roll call to train children's reading ability. At the same time, don't forget to stimulate children's emotions and understand that "love is mutual." The whole class is finished in the game, the classroom atmosphere is active and the learning efficiency is high.
Using modern teaching methods, children have a wide range of interests. If you always use the same method to attract their attention, you must be a failure. For example, the game literacy class "Color Ballads". In an art class, I found that children were interested in colorful colors. They like to draw beautiful things with crayons, and they also like to paint different colors together. When they see the color change, they will cheer happily. Seeing the smiling face and active classroom atmosphere, I suddenly had a brainwave and wrote a children's song "Color Ballad". I use simple and childlike pictures to animate the graphic baby and the text baby, and give them interesting music. When I showed the lively and interesting computer courseware to the children, all the children's attention was attracted, and they were as focused as enjoying a perfect cartoon. At the same time, I will show four sentences of children's songs in different game forms in the courseware to attract children to think constantly. This not only develops children's thinking, but also develops children's language expression ability. When interesting pictures correspond to rows of words baby, children can read quickly. In order to highlight the target words (oranges, watermelons, grapes, tadpoles), I specially designed the game of "Looking for Baby's Home", so that children can compete with computer dolls to see who can find word Baby's home first, and imitate various means of transportation to send word Baby home. If you find the right one, you will be praised by the computer doll. At this point, the children's fighting spirit seemed to be ignited, and everyone rushed to answer questions, and the whole classroom atmosphere reached a climax. It is in this alternating atmosphere that children quickly master the target words and learn the children's song "Color Ballad" easily and happily, and the application of computer in this course has also achieved good results. Through a semester's practice and research, I was pleasantly surprised to find that through the above reading methods and experiences, the children in our class have acquired the initial reading ability and habits, and have a strong interest in reading. Children know about 500 common words.
The two volumes of children's books "Children's Listening and Reading Game Literacy" can be read completely, and randomly selected Chinese characters can be read quickly. The books in the corner have become their most loyal partners and friends. And children's language expression ability and free reading ability have made a qualitative leap, with rich vocabulary, fluent and complete language and active thinking, which laid a solid foundation for future reading and learning. In the era of knowledge changing with each passing day and lifelong learning, reading is the basis of learning and the basic ability that must be possessed. In particular, early education should lay a good foundation for people's lifelong development.
Therefore, when strengthening the cultivation of children's reading ability in the future, I will not go into the misunderstanding of literacy education alone, but will aim at cultivating interest, developing oral English and enriching children's life experience, so as to lay a solid foundation for improving children's reading ability.
Literacy and the Cultivation of Children's Reading Habits
As a mother-to-be, I am eager to prepare something for my baby, such as prenatal music. I will use my spare time to collect some so-called soothing prenatal education music popular on the Internet, so that he or she can feel rhythmic music, so as to cultivate the baby's sense of music and intelligence. For example, I will use some fairy tale books in teaching, telling them to the children in my class and to the baby in my belly, but I don't know if these books have any effect, but they have a greater effect in my heart. Nowadays, parents hold the same mentality as me, that is, they want their children to excel among their peers, at least not to fall behind others. After reading "Talking about Listening and Reading Game Literacy and Cultivating Children's Reading Habits", I think it is of great help for children to cultivate good listening and reading habits in the future, and the ultimate goal of listening, speaking and reading is to improve children's language expression ability, so on this basis, I also have some ideas and put forward some immature ideas for the training of 3-4-year-old children's expression ability:
1. Parents insist on talking to their children in correct spoken English. Speak Mandarin, with short sentences, moderate speech speed, friendly attitude and no repetition.
2. Expand children's word sentences into short sentences. For example, if a child says "cookies", parents can say, "Ah, the baby wants cookies." Wait a minute.
3, where the children can see, the parents pass the words in time. For example, when children look at passing cars, parents should say in time, "The car is coming and the car is leaving." When they see flowers, their parents should say in time, "The roses are red, the grass is green, and the flowers are beautiful, but I won't pick them."
4. Entrust children to do things. At first, you can give your child one thing, such as "bring mom's slippers", and gradually you can entrust two things in succession: "put mom's bag away again" and so on.
5. Encourage children to use language in daily life. When children can express themselves in simple language, they should be encouraged to express their requirements and needs in language instead of pointing and nodding their heads.
Although my baby has not yet been born, I have experienced the hardships of being a mother. I hope that some knowledge accumulated now will be useful in the future.
