How to cultivate children's habit of reading aloud

Once upon a time, when we talked about "reading aloud", the image we had of it was nothing more than the eloquence of a recitation contest, professional recitation on stage, traditional recitation in Chinese dress, or reluctant recitation in the classroom when we were asked to read aloud ......

When programs such as "The Face of Words" and "The Reader" appeared in the public eye, we had to be ashamed of the stereotypes we gave to them.

However, when programs such as "The Face of the Word" and "The Reader" come into the limelight, we have to be ashamed of the stereotypes we have given to "reading aloud".

All words have different meanings in different times and contexts, and reading aloud is a second creation of words, giving them new life in a new arena. When these words are understood and recited again, we will also produce a heartfelt ****ing sound.

Just recently, the Ministry of Education and the State Language Commission also issued the "Opinions on Further Strengthening the Language and Writing Work in Schools," which put forward the following goals for students: to reach the standard of Putonghua, oral expression of clear meaning, and smooth communication; to master the corresponding school paragraph of the Chinese characters and Hanyu Pinyin, with the appropriate school paragraphs of the written writing ability, reading level and writing ability. ......

The rise of these cultural programs has aroused a lot of attention, but the editors have another query: Are we only focusing on these programs, but seldom will we take our children to reread those letters and teach them how to read aloud?

Instead of treating "The Reader" as a cultural feast, we should make reading aloud a habit for you and your children.

Reading is the lowest threshold of nobility

Thousands of dollars can't buy you a mom or dad who reads to your child

McKay said in a letter to his son that reading is a way of going home. I remember reading somewhere that reading is the noblest of noble deeds with the lowest threshold.

The deepest inspiration I got from "The Reader" is that reading aloud is the expression and transmission of love, and that reading aloud to accompany your child's growth can give him or her the best nourishment.

When I was a child myself, my father, who loved to read, always liked to read to me after meals, "The Ordinary World", "Muslim Funeral", "The Thorn Birds", "The Smiling Proud Wanderer" and other kinds of novels, and I didn't buy a single one of those books later, because it was more impressive than any book I read later.

Jim Trellis, author of The Read-Aloud Handbook, says, "When an adult reads a book to a child, three important things happen at the same time: a pleasurable bond is created between the child and the book; the parent and the child learn from the book at the same time; and the parent puts the words, and the pronunciation of the words, into the child's ear."

We learn language by ear. When moving language resorts to a child's ears and mind, it not only increases their language development, but also becomes the closest link between mom and child.

Zhang Zilin, after participating in the program, also said on Weibo that her daughter had been staring at the TV and listening carefully to her reading aloud, as if to make sure that the mother who was reading to her on the TV was the same one who was usually by her side.

Jim Trellis has a quote that is still very famous and very well said, "You may have unlimited wealth, boxes of jewelry and cabinets of gold, but you will never be richer than I am, and I have a mother who reads to me."

Besides parenting, reading aloud is also significant because it's not casual conversation, but a more structured and organized way of speaking. As children read more and more books, they slowly notice the logic and grammatical structure embedded in language. We think through language, and the more language we use, the clearer our thinking becomes. Those who love to read a lot tend to analyze problems, state them and learn much faster than those who don't read or read less.

Reading to your children is the cheapest, most convenient, and most expensive way to nourish them.

One, from reading aloud to cultivate the child's sense of language, reading is more efficient than memorizing

Whether it is learning language, or English, language subjects are always emphasizing the "sense of language". Even math problems require children to read over and over again in order to understand the hidden clues and information. The improvement of the sense of language means the formation of language intuitive thinking ability, which is more agile and natural than rational thinking in determining the correctness of the language, the advantages and disadvantages.

When we read aloud over and over again, the words, phrases, moods, and rhythms in the text will naturally deepen, and this is the process of effective input. By the end of the reading, they have become a whole into the children's minds.

Using the example of memorizing ancient poems, the editors suggest that there is no need to pursue the number of poems a child memorizes in a day, or the number of hours he or she memorizes them, as such utilitarian memorization is unreliable. You may want to choose a book with your child that suits his or her learning progress, and read it aloud with your child, one by one, and then from the beginning. In time you will realize that they have memorized a lot.

Second, interpreting first and then reading aloud will help your child to have a deeper understanding

As it is done in the program "The Reader" - interpreting first and then reading aloud. Let the audience fully understand the inner world of the readers, and then experience the readers interpretation of the emotions, so that the overall "reading" more touching.

Taking a poem as an example, it is easy to dismember a poem by simply memorizing it. Why are the letters and poems in programs like "The Reader" and "Face to Face" so impressive? One reason is that they bring to life the context in which the words were written.

Before your child reads aloud, you might want to do some homework with them.

The first step is to recognize and correct the sound of the words. For vocabulary words, find the pronunciation and meaning; for words with multiple sounds, confirm what they are pronounced here; for words with multiple meanings, understand which meaning is being used here.

Step 2 - solve the problem, identify the body. Broadly analyze the content, genre and subject matter of the poem, as well as the poet's general style.

Step 3 - Identify the meaning, understand the meaning of each word in the poem, where each allusion comes from, and the meaning of each sentence.

Mere memorization is always boring, but the interpretation of the story is lively and interesting. Even if you spend more time on the few poems you read, your child's interest in reading the poems will be greatly increased with such a complete interpretation.

Three, create a situation, role-playing

If your child is not attentive enough to read aloud, you may want to try to create a situation with them, role-playing. In the program "Seeing Words as Face", no matter which one of the readers recites, they have been completely immersed in the role, which makes the letters more and more moving. The same is true for "The Reader," where the reader's story bears a lot of resemblance to what is revealed in the text being read, and it is the reading with a role that makes the text more compelling.

In the same way, children will be able to read aloud with more flavor and comprehension when they are role-played in the situation, in a rhythmic and staccato manner.

What magical changes happen when a child insists on reading aloud and becomes a reader.

I. Becoming a reader, a child will fall y in love with reading and learn to read

Cao Wenxuan, a professor at Peking University and the winner of the Hans Christian Andersen Award for Literature, has been asked countless times, "What is the best way to make a child fall in love with reading?" Cao Wenxuan would tell them every time, "Read aloud - ferry them from the world of sound to the world of words by reading aloud."

Is there a better way? Is it useful to lecture a child about the meaning of reading when he doesn't want to read? But when a teacher or a presenter or an actor with excellent reading skills reads aloud the heart-wrenching and exciting passages from a novel with great emotion, the child is unconsciously captivated, and after the reading is over, he will surely keep thinking about that novel, and even eagerly want to see it, and later on, he finally sees it, and once he enters the world of the text, he will never want to give it up again. And so we can have good reason to be hopeful about this child's reading and even growth.

More importantly, reading aloud can help us weed out the last-rate works that damage the spirit and the mind. For a text that can be read aloud must be beautiful, lyrical or wise, or it cannot be read aloud. By reading aloud, we easily eliminate those last-rate works from our doors.

Second, become a reader, is the most simple and effective way to learn the language

Many parents complained that the more to the higher grades the child's performance is more difficult to improve, all around the tutorials, but still little effect. Perhaps you have overlooked the simplest and easiest way to influence language learning: reading aloud.

Mr. Ye Shengtao said, "Reading teaching always requires reading."

Mr. Yu Yongzheng, a special language teacher, said, "The so-called 'highlights' of language teaching should be first and foremost in reading aloud." To focus on "cultivate and train students to read aloud the ability to read aloud"

Reading aloud is an important part of the overall language quality of the students, is a proven method of learning the language. The old saying: "There are three to reading: heart to, eyes to, mouth to." Visible, only three and can achieve a good reading effect. And read aloud can fully meet this requirement.

Reading aloud is a process of converting the silent written language into a sound language, which is a creative reading activity of the eyes, mouth, ears and brain.

Reading aloud is also conducive to improving writing ability, reading aloud the works of others is the process of learning, reading aloud the essence of their own works is the process of revision and improvement.

Three, become a reader, the child will also happen the following changes

Development of the right brain: because read aloud is essentially the reader in the self-appreciation of their own voices, over time, is conducive to the child's image of the ability to cultivate their own thinking.

Changing personality: Introverts tend to make very little noise, and if a child can keep reading quality works and books aloud, he or she can easily become cheerful.

Children in the read aloud, feel the beauty of the sound of the language, through the sound of the author's feelings, from the emotions sublimated in the beautiful vision of the world, in the growth of the road with a longing to experience a hundred flavors of life, and then in the life of the experience of the memory in the mind to leave a mark on those words.

Such a person is deep in thought, broad-minded and ambitious.

How to read aloud to your child

Remember these 13 rules

On the subject of how to read aloud, Jim Trellis, America's leading reading researcher, is very authoritative in his multi-million bestseller, "The Read-Aloud Handbook".

He used decades of research and practice in children's reading instruction to summarize into this book. First published in 1979 and revised five times, the book was selected as a designated textbook by dozens of U.S. colleges and universities of education and was rapidly translated and published worldwide.

The book contains many concrete and credible examples to remind parents of the problems they may encounter in parent-child reading and to provide solutions, and of course, it gives methods and precautions for reading aloud.

We summarize the essence as follows:

1. The earlier you start reading aloud, the better, and try to stick to it until your child graduates from elementary school.

2, for what we value, we must make time. Arrange at least one regular time to read aloud every day and try to make it a habit.

3, you may want to start with rhyming rhymes, children's songs and a few lines of picture books, and then gradually read aloud children's books with more words and fewer pictures, and then to stories and novels with chapters.

4, as long as time permits, read aloud to your child frequently. But don't take too long at first to keep your child's enthusiasm for reading aloud. As the child's acceptance increases, slowly increase the time.

5. Listening habits are acquired and need to be taught and nurtured gradually - listening will not be learned in an instant.

6. Be careful to vary the length and subject matter of the reading material. Encourage your child to pick his or her own books.

7. Before reading aloud, be sure to mention the title of the book, the author and the author of the pictures.

8. Read aloud to start and finish. But when you realize that you have chosen the wrong book, you must stop in time.

9. If you read aloud a book with pictures, try to let your child see the pictures.

10. The best way to help your child concentrate longer is to spend one-on-one time with him. Reading a story to your child and paying attention to their reactions as they listen to it can bring many benefits.

11. Only a very few people are natural readers, and every parent needs to actively practice. Use a lot of your own facial expressions and even change the tone of your voice to play the role of the character.

12. Never read too fast. It is advisable not to read books you don't like because your expression can easily give away your thoughts.

13, occasionally read some of the more difficult content of the book, to challenge the child's brain. Try to discuss the content of the book with your child.
