Children’s Reading Clinic “Chat” Room in December 2017: How to make primary school students fall in love with reading? This time we invite parent education writer Little Bear to answer this difficult question for us! In addition to having rich experience in parenting and children's literature creation, Mama Little Bear also has three children, who are in the first year of high school, the first year of junior high school, and the first year of primary school. Therefore, she knows how children of different ages should develop their reading skills. skills, things to pay attention to, and guidelines for choosing books.
Two ways to make children fall in love with reading
Little Bear’s mother believes that there are two ways to make children fall in love with reading: first, parent-child reading for 10 minutes every day; Second, pursue what you like, first deeply and then broadly.
For parent-child reading, the sooner you start, the better. Mother Little Bear recommends that parents choose a fixed time every day, starting from 10 minutes. No matter whether he likes to listen to picture books, read picture books, or text books, just take 10 minutes a day (for example: before going to bed or after eating) to read to him. Over time, 10 minutes a day will become a habit. Gradually your child will start to like reading with you. After children can read, they will find books they like to read.
The second key point is "Follow what they like": Parents should choose books that their children are interested in. Some parents are very impatient and hope that the books their children read will be entertaining and educational, so they force them to read history books or science books. But in fact, reading should start with having fun! To put it simply, parents should first let their children like reading. But how to make children like reading books? Start with something that interests them. For example: if he likes insects, then find books about various insects for him to read; if he likes cars, then find various books for him to read. Let him like reading first, and then slowly guide him to add some science, history and other knowledge. Generally speaking, Little Bear’s mother’s suggestion is to read deeply first and then broadly, that is, start reading in depth based on the children’s interests, and then parents will slowly add other things to make the scope of reading wider.

Q1. What should I do if my child only likes to read comics and does not read long stories?
Mother Bear: I think children must be able to escape the comic trap, but reading comics should be done in moderation, and adults should slowly introduce text books. For example, I used to stipulate that my children could only read comics in the library, and they could only have text books at home, such as the more humorous Bridge Books Junwei Goes to Elementary School series. If their children really want to read comics, parents can choose meaningful comics, such as the popular science series Duckby’s Case Series, the Zorroli Series, comic book biographies of world greats, comic book world history, and Super Science and Technology Youth Series, and then use better bridge books to introduce them, so that children can gradually enter the world of word books. In addition, parents can try to guide their children through parent-child reading or reading aloud (parents read a paragraph and children read a paragraph). When choosing books, remember to start with the type of books that the child likes.
