? Let children really fall in love with reading, the most important thing is to cultivate children's reading interest and the habit of reading consciously and independently.
A famous educator in the west once said: "Reading is a good way for lifelong education. Cultivating children's interest in reading and making them like reading is the best gift for parents and the most successful symbol of family education. Children like reading better than pure school education, better than a computer, and better than the most advanced college diploma. Loving reading can change everything for children and benefit them for life. " So, where does children's interest in reading come from? How to cultivate? In this regard, Ms. Karen millers of the United States put forward her own views. ?
First, in line with children's psychological characteristics, choose the first batch of books that children "love to read" to make children have a good impression on books. Children naturally prefer toys to books. Whether children 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 content and appearance color of books and periodicals should try to cater to children's psychology. Don't measure the content of books and periodicals from the perspective of an adult, and don't think that "useful" is something that can be shown to children. In the eyes of children, colorful insects, lively and lovely animals, fierce and strange aliens and monsters are much more interesting than A, B, C, D, 1, 2, 3 and 4 in the eyes of adults. Therefore, in the early days, we should try to provide children with some picture books with exquisite printing, rich and interesting content and plot development in line with children's imagination and thinking characteristics, such as animal picture books and colorful science fiction stories. ?
Second, it is not appropriate to control children's reading process too much. Curiosity, hyperactivity, lack of patience and endurance are 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 book 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 intentionally tear or throw books, parents don't have to care too much about him. Usually, at this stage, parents should be satisfied as long as their children are willing to read a book with relish in their hands. Because this performance is completely in line with children's early reading psychology, 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 to read 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 limit and control the contents, types and scope of periodicals that are really harmful to children. Generally speaking, the more 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, not to interfere too much, not to forcibly change their children's reading hobbies according to their own wishes, and not to list the books that must be read for their children according to their own knowledge and reading habits. Otherwise, it is easy for children to 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 according to your plan, it is doomed to be short-lived."
Fourth, parents and children read together to set a good reading example for their children. Mr. Ruth Graves, former president of the American Reading Association, said: "Now, there is a strange phenomenon in some families: parents like to read books, but they often wait until their children go to bed before sitting down to read. As a result, children never know that their parents also like reading. What a pity! " In this regard, experts believe that at home, parents should accompany their children to study 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 repeat stories or specific contents in the book, express their own views and opinions, and then analyze and discuss them together. If you do this often, children's interest in reading may become stronger and their reading level will gradually improve.
