Reading is an activity that uses language to acquire information, understand the world, develop thinking, and acquire aesthetic experience and knowledge. It is an active process, a thinking process of understanding, comprehending, absorbing, appreciating, evaluating and improving articles.
The benefits of reading are numerous.
First of all, reading can increase knowledge, through reading, people can quickly grasp a large amount of scientific and cultural knowledge, get rid of ignorance and superstition.
Secondly, reading is an effective way to relieve stress, and when people feel stressed, they can immerse themselves in wonderful stories or beautiful articles by reading, so that all negative emotions will disappear.
Third, reading is a mental stimulation Xi that keeps the brain active and slows down mental decline.
Fourth, reading can cultivate sentiment, cleanse the impetuousness, bring refreshing spirit, and create an otherworldly and quiet atmosphere.
Fifth, reading can expand the social circle, find like-minded partners, enjoy life together, and exchange ideas, and this deep friendship is not a precious treasure in life. Of course, for students, reading 10,000 books enhances their writing skills, and reading not only enables elementary and middle school students to excel in their peers, but also allows them to do well in exams.
Children don't like reading because they think of reading as a Xi. If reading is a form of spiritual recreation, then children will fall in love with reading. Today I would like to introduce to you a few ways to cultivate children's interest in reading:
1. The most important thing is to choose your child's favorite books.
There are thousands of good books, and when children read, parents often like to recommend books that they think will be useful to their children. Everyone's interests are different, and books that are useful for children are not necessarily of interest to children. As long as it is a healthy book, we do not limit the categories of books that children can read. Therefore, before cultivating children to read, pay attention to observe and see what kind of books children like, and focus on books that children are interested in, so that children can learn to read, and then they will like to read. The children in the kindergarten are mainly picture books. Picture books have few words and rich illustrations, which are easy to attract children's attention.
2. For primary school students who have just started school, parents should accompany them appropriately according to the situation. Just starting school, with little literacy, if parents do not accompany them, their children's reading still stays in the kindergarten stage, just flipping through the illustrations. When parents accompany them to read, they can supplement some content through the picture and take the child to read in the form of storytelling, so as to enrich the child's thinking and make the child addicted to reading.
3. Create a good reading environment.
Since reading is a form of self-cultivation and entertainment, it is necessary to have a quiet, clean, bright and warm reading environment so that they can focus on reading. If the living room is not quiet enough, you can set up a special reading corner in the child's room or living room to create a comfortable and quiet reading environment for the child, which is not easy to be disturbed by the outside world. When the child is reading, it is best for parents not to watch TV, so as not to affect the child's concentration.
Fourth, create a proper reading atmosphere.
Parents are a mirror of their children, and their children see their daily practices. Asking children to do it is the most terrible educational behavior to ask their children to do it, even though they can't do it. In the process of cultivating children's interest in reading, parents should also put their foot into practice. For example, if it rains outside and you can't go out, parents can turn off the TV, put down their phones, and read with their children for an hour or two.
In conclusion, reading is a very beneficial activity that can help us acquire knowledge, relieve stress, enhance writing skills, improve language skills, and so on. So we should read more books, read good books, and enjoy the pleasures and benefits of reading.
