Parents often complain about children, and one of the most common complaints is the lack of interest in the children in books, which occupied an important place in the life of parents. It seems that in the 21st century books were finally supplanted by simple entertainments like a TV, computer, tablet and smartphone. In reality, everything is not so straightforward: it is quite possible to arouse a child's interest in reading. The main thing is to follow a few simple rules highlighted by the expert Svetlana Paveletskaya, partner of the publishing house "Bookmanand "and the author of the heading"Rankova Chitanka in Snіdanku s 1 + 1 " The child should not be forced, but instilled in a love of books from early childhood. The expert recommends following simple rules while reading with your child:
[sc name = ”ads”]
- Right choice. Always choose a book that will be primarily interesting to your child, and not to yourself. It is necessary to intrigue the child by offering a book on topics of interest to him; for example, boys may enjoy adventure pieces with vibrant superheroes, and girls may enjoy romantic stories. However, there are no axioms here: you need to focus on a specific taste. Even the smallest person already has certain preferences.
- Read aloud and do not forget to pause. When reading aloud from time to time (for example, each chapter), pause while discussing the fragment you have read with the child, does he understand what has happened to the heroes of the book now. Ask for his opinion and be sure to explain obscure points. Try to tell him the plot in your own words. Thus, the contact will be better - with your child, and the child with the book.
- Never use reading as punishment. One of the most common parental mistakes is the use of reading as a punishment. Such a “policy” most often instills exclusively antipathy, but not love at all. The phrases in the style “you behaved badly, so run to your room to read” should be excluded from your communication with the child. It is recommended, on the contrary, to position reading solely as a reward.
