Book: Guide to Reading Aloud: A reference book for loving parents, caring grandparents and smart educators.

Don't read books to your child that you don't like. The child will certainly feel your attitude towards the book, and this will not allow you to achieve your goal.

From time to time, choose a book to read that is a little more difficult to understand than the child is used to. This contributes to his intellectual development.

Start reading to your child as early as possible - even before he is born. The sooner you start, the better and the easier it will be for you.

Family members can encourage the child to read: answer endless why questions; Praise your son or daughter for trying to read or write something on their own; take your children to the library more often; buy books; write down stories that the child comes up with and dictates to them; display his drawings and stories prominently. None of the factors identified in these studies were costly or required more than parental interest.

Coherent written language and a rich vocabulary do not arise by themselves. First, they must be “downloaded” into a person - through reading.

You shouldn’t wait until a person reaches middle management: it’s too late to worry about literacy. Learning to write correctly at 35 is as difficult as learning to skateboard or master a foreign language at that age. It is much easier to do this at the age of seven.

In a customer-centric economy, communication skills are one of the most important skills in the workplace. The richer the speech you hear, the more words you will have to use in response, both verbally and in writing. If we read to children from an early age until the end of school, they acquire language in all its richness as something correct, harmonious and interesting, not reducible to the speech of some tongue-tied peers.

There is no right or wrong way to read aloud. The wrong situation is when you don’t read to your child at all. So pick up a book and read to your children!

Perhaps the best book is the one about which the reader thinks: may it never end!

According to Jacqueline McTaggart, the term “comic book” applies “to any combination of frames, words, and pictures as long as the combination tells a coherent story. So all graphic novels are comics, but not all comics are graphic novels.” The volume of comics is usually 28 pages; such publications resemble magazines in appearance. Graphic novels are much larger. They come in soft covers or hard covers.

If we are constantly “plugged” into our gadgets, we burn through two types of batteries - both the devices and our own. Recent scientific observations of people and rats convince us that if the brain is constantly busy solving many problems, it becomes exhausted. In other words, “aha!” moments. happen much less often if a person doesn’t have enough “ah!” moments.

According to the results of one study, children who read independently understand the text of a paper book better than an electronic one. Apparently, the e-book offers too many different actions and this distracts the child’s attention. If an e-book looks more like a toy or game, the main purpose of reading a story is lost. So it is better to choose e-books that do not have excessive animation effects, music or other distracting elements.

Due to the development of the digital society, libraries will change and will probably shrink in size. But, judging by the behavior and requests of visitors, the need for a competent librarian is quite acute, and this will not change. Today, schoolchildren are bombarded with a huge amount of Internet information, practically unstructured and often unreliable. School and academic library staff have always played a critical role in teaching students the skills of searching and studying information, including assessing the reliability of an information source. Community members need librarians to help them find the information they need, both online and in print. Whether libraries are filled with printed materials, e-books, or computers, the work of librarians will continue to be valuable and necessary.

Having books at home is a proven way to change your life and expand your horizons in any country in the world. Data from studies of 70,000 families from 27 countries, accumulated over many decades, show that having a large number of books in the home library increases a person's desire to learn and continue their education. The more books (0, 25, 75, 500), the higher his chances of graduating from ninth grade, high school, and university, respectively, even after taking into account adjustments for parents’ income, their level of education, and their field of work.
