Computer games, the Internet and television have discouraged modern children from hunting for reading. Teachers of literature in the school have to resort to punishments and all other methods of motivating schoolchildren, in order to increase interest in reading. Parents are also confused by the refusal of their children to read.
However, as you know, there are no desperate situations. I want to offer you a few tips for overcoming this "disease" in modern children.
Immediately I warn that one should not expect instant success in this laborious matter, which requires considerable strength and patience in the family. Usually the reluctance to read from students is hidden in banal excuses: I do not like, I do not know how. All these reasons are very closely related.
Let us proceed to the first reason: - I do not like to read. There is an unwritten rule: children try to look like their parents in everything. Therefore, before you just explain in words to a child, all the benefits and importance of books, you must give a good example in your own performance. An example of such an example should be the whole family, that is, books in the family should read everything.
The earlier you start active activities, the easier it will be in the future. For very young listeners, poetry texts are best suited, because the intonation and rhythm are prevalent in such texts, as if they fascinate the child. The fairy tales of Alexander Pushkin, KI Chukovsky, P.P. Ershov or the fairy folklore are perfectly suited. Govorushkami, proverbs and jokes in principle, you can accompany all the activities with the baby, as well as the action of the baby - sipping after sleep, bathing, dressing, playing. At the initial stages of reading should be short-lived, but regular, since the child is not able to concentrate on the same thing for a long time.
In the process of growing a child, the minutes allocated for reading are worth adding. For example, every night before going to sleep, read to the child about 30 minutes, the result of which will be easier to bring the crumb to sleep.
Remember that you should not force a child to read a book that he does not like. Choosing the best books together. It is necessary to give the child complete freedom of action in relation to books. He can treat them, play with them, and nibble them and draw in them. Many now ask the question, because books need to be protected? And they are all right, but they will have to explain this child at a conscious age when he learns to read. You can use a few simple tricks in order to intrigue your offspring, for example, when reading a book, pause on an interesting place, referring to the important thing. If the baby is really interested in the story, then he must himself read it to find out the end. It is also possible to propose a sequential reading of the book, this increases the speed and causes the rule to read independently.
It is worth noting that this all will help the love of reading, if it occurs before the school, before reading books will become a compulsory, routine work.
The second reason why some children do not like to read is that they simply do not know how to do it properly. It is now not a generalization of the ability to put letters in syllables, but about understanding, understanding and comprehension of what has been read. In this case, you need to comment on what you read, that is, in the course of the reading, the parent explains to the child the complicated words or actions of the characters. Approve the questions of the child, disassemble the read together.
To help the reader understand the story better, ask him to tell you his meaning or clarify the hero's move. You can also invite him to stop before the final part and offer his version of the denouement. This technique will expand his imagination and increase interest, and you will be able to understand how much the child understood what he read.
The earlier your baby understands that the book increases the vocabulary, teaches, entertains forms literacy, the sooner he will thank you for your efforts.
