At what age should children start reading? What kind of books are good for children?

My friend's child is over three years old, but every time I see him, he is always naughty. How old should a child be to develop the habit of reading? What kind of books are good for children to start reading?

Babies around one year old can read books. At this time, babies like colorful patterns very much and are also very interested in some shapes. Therefore, parents can buy some children's books when the baby is about one year old. Try to choose books with more colors. In addition, the patterns must be clear, so that the baby can fall in love with reading.

If your baby is still at the stage of liking to tear books, it is recommended to buy cloth books for your baby, so that they are not easily torn. Babies will be impatient when reading books at the beginning, so it is recommended that parents read with their babies and tell them the stories while reading. This will allow babies to immerse themselves in the stories of the books more quickly and make them fall in love with reading.

When your baby is reading, you need to keep the room quiet and avoid any other noise. After parents take their baby to read for a while, the baby will find books to read by himself. At this time, you can take the baby to a bookstore or library and let the baby choose his favorite books to read.

Help your child decide on books to read. First, discover your child's interests, collect books based on what they are interested in, guide them to read, and gradually expand their reading breadth. Secondly, you can take your child to the library and let them choose the books they like to read. Generally speaking, children aged 0-3 like colorful picture books, children aged 3-6 like fairy tales and story picture books with plots, and children aged 7-10 like story books with rich plots. Children aged 10-13 like fantasy, adventure, mythology, etc. Children aged 14-16 like mystery, biography, etc.

Create a good reading environment for children. At present, in many families, parents rarely read books or newspapers. There is no good book in the house, but they rigidly ask their children to read more books, which is not realistic at all. How to create a good learning environment for children? You can put some children's books in the children's bedroom, living room and other places where children often play, so that children can pick them up and read them.

Teachers guide reading. Children generally listen to their teachers, so parents can discuss with their teachers and ask them to give their children some reading suggestions, such as making a list of books and requiring their children to read for half an hour at home every day. Parents can give timely feedback to teachers about their children's performance at home, praise children who perform well, and encourage them to have a greater interest in reading.

Teachers can also set up a storytelling session for children in class, and give praise and rewards to children who are brave enough to tell stories. In order to get praise and rewards, children will actively look for books to read, accumulate stories to perform in class. This not only exercises children's reading ability, but also exercises their language expression ability.

Parents set an example. Parents are the first teachers of their children. Parents should not sit in front of the computer all day at home, otherwise their children will learn from their parents' love of playing with computers, iPads, etc. Parents should read more books and newspapers. On weekends, they can take their children to a bookstore or library for a day, and each chooses their favorite books to read. After constant exposure, children will naturally like reading.

Read with your child every night. Read a story book with her for a while before she goes to bed. Do this consistently. It can not only help your child develop a reading habit, but also enhance parent-child interaction and promote communication.

Usually, let your children spend more time with older children who like reading. The influence of peers is very important and can help guide and cultivate interests. However, do not make comparisons, as this will cause children to develop rebellious psychology and inferiority complex. Give more encouragement and less criticism.

Parents read in advance. Before children read, parents should read first and give their children an introduction before they read, and then guide their children to read and find the answers by themselves. This will cultivate children's thinking ability and inspire their curiosity.

1. Parents should set an example and let children see that they like reading. In real life, parents always expect their children to sit at the desk and read books while they lie down to watch TV, play with mobile phones, play games, etc. As a parent, you should know that children have a strong ability to imitate. All your behaviors and habits will affect them invisibly. How you do things, your children will imitate your actions. So when cultivating children to read, you need to set an example for them first.

2. Create a good reading environment for your child. Creating a good reading environment at home is very important for developing a habit. You can buy a separate bookcase for your child, prepare children's books of different types and styles, and fill it with books that the child likes to read, so that the child can always find a suitable book to read at home. You can set a "family reading time", which is very helpful for cultivating children's interest and habit in reading.

3. Discuss reading with your children. After reading, parents can encourage their children to "talk about it", which can improve their ability in content integration and language expression. In this process, parents should guide their children to express their own opinions. When children express their opinions, they must not comment or belittle their sincere thoughts, which will cause them to dislike reading. Let them feel at ease when expressing their opinions and think that their opinions have weight, which requires you to accept everything they say, whether it is right or wrong.

4. When children are a little older (such as in the second or third grade), teach them scientific reading methods. For example, speed reading is a method of purposeful and selective reading based on materials, needs, time, energy, and internal and external environment. I usually read at a speed of 2,000 to 3,000 words per minute (learned from "Elite Speed ​​Reading"). During the reading process, I find places that interest me, places that are important to me, and places that I don't understand, and then I slow down a bit to read. For the essence of the content discovered after the second reading, I read it again.
