How to make your child love to read

Most toddlers prefer to have their parents explain the pictures in the book, but they don't like the words in the book read by their parents. As children get older, they may become interested in reading pictures and listening to stories. So it's best for parents to tell stories to their children in their own words.

Whether children like to read books or not is directly related to the actions of parents, and parents need to guide them.

1. Parents should set a good example and let their children see you read. In real life, parents always expect their children to sit obediently at their desks and read and study, while lying down to watch TV, play mobile phones, play games, etc. As a parent, you should know:

The child's ability to imitate is very strong, all your behaviors and habits will invisibly affect him, how you do things, how the child will imitate your actions. Therefore, when training your child to read, you need to set an example for your child first.

2. Don't force your child to read, but encourage and guide. In order to let their children develop the habit of reading as soon as possible, some parents often "self-righteous" buy books for their children, which often leads to children rarely reading books, in fact, it is not that children do not like to read, but because these books may not be interesting to children, the right way is that parents should find out where their children's reading interests are, and then find suitable books for him. For example, often take your child to the library, observe your child's reading taste, and praise your child's reading behavior.

3. Discuss reading with your child. After reading, parents can encourage their children to "speak and listen", which can increase children's ability to integrate content and express themselves. In this process, parents should guide their children to express their own opinions, and children should never comment or belittle children's sincere thoughts when expressing their opinions, which will lead them to have an aversion to reading, so that they feel at ease when expressing their opinions, and think that their opinions have weight, which requires you to accept everything he says, whether it is right or wrong.

4. When the child is a little older (such as the second and third grade), teach the child a scientific reading method. For example, speed reading is a method of reading purposefully and selectively based on the material, needs, time, energy, and internal and external circumstances. I usually read at a speed of two to three thousand words a minute (mastered by learning "elite special speed reading"), find what interests me, what is important to me, and what I don't understand in the process of reading, and then slow down a little to read, and then read the essence of the second reading.
