1, read paper books.
Let children read paper books instead of "listening to books", mobile phones, PADs and online books of various media. Real reading is to read paper books, and real classics are also accumulated in a vast sea of paper books.
Although digital media has a lot of information, the new content in it has not gone through a relatively long process of content precipitation and screening from writing, revision to editing like paper books, and the quality is still not as good as paper books as a whole.
2. Don't call books "extracurricular books".
Calling the books read by school-age children "extracurricular books" means that "in class" is important, "extracurricular" is not so important, and "in class" takes precedence. Now the school emphasizes reading, only saying that children should study, not "extra-curricular books".
Therefore, from now on, the word "extracurricular books" will be eliminated from family vocabulary and parents' educational concepts. Reading is reading, reading is a beautiful way of life, and it is as important as children going to school for education and adults trying to develop their own careers.
3. Build your own bookshelf for children.
No matter how small the room is, you should also give your child a bookcase of your own, and if possible, give your child a "study" of your own. This is both a form and a method.
When a child has his own bookshelf, just like having his own toy bookshelf, it will be easier for him to establish a sense of closeness with his own books, and it will be easier for him to pick up the books and read them at any time. When children have bookshelves, they should teach themselves to organize them slowly and put the books in different categories.
4. Give children the right to choose books.
When a child is very young, it is natural for parents to buy books at home, but he won't ask which one he wants to read, which one he doesn't want to read, which one to read first and which one to read later. Let the children wander around casually.
Adults should guide children to learn to judge what kind of books are good enough and what kind of books are not good enough in the process of buying books with their children at the beginning. We can tell children that it is best to read the original text and the whole book, and try not to buy selected books and essence books.
5, buy more books, the budget is not limited.
Don't think books are expensive, they are really not. A writer may need decades of training and preparation to start writing, and it may take months, years or even longer to complete a really good book, which condenses stories, knowledge, emotions and thoughts he has gained from his own experiences, reading, education, setbacks and successes.
6. Actively participate in the discussion.
No matter whether the child's question is naive or biased, don't criticize or deny it. They just contribute their opinions in the discussion as equal participants, just like holding a brainstorming group discussion with team members.
The more adults are interested in discussion, the more children are interested in reading. Leading discussion is also a part of children's sense of accomplishment from reading.
7. Parents also cultivate reading habits.
Adults only watch mobile phones, computers and televisions, while children don't like reading. Adults say books are expensive when they see them, and children dare not and can't learn to buy books themselves; Adults will not happily share what they read, and children will not happily initiate discussions related to reading.
In fact, it doesn't matter that adults don't like reading literature books, history books, psychology books and other books with serious themes. There are many books with light and lively contents, such as travel books and food books, which can bring fun to reading. Opening books is beneficial, as long as you give yourself some time to start reading carefully, the fun will jump out.
