reading [Theme] Page 1

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!

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.

Giving reading lessons to children who don't have books in their lives is like offering oars to people who don't have a boat: you won't get far!

Scientists have found that: 1) boys to whom their fathers read have significantly higher reading results; 2) if dads read in their free time, their sons read more and study better than those whose dads read little or not at all in their leisure time.

Reading aloud before bed allows dad and sons to spend time together and builds a strong bond with each other. It also has a positive effect on the relationship between fathers and daughters

Children develop a desire to read when the most important male person in their lives, dad, reads, including picking up a book and reading aloud to them.

One of the reasons why boys fall behind in reading is because there aren't enough male role models to encourage them to read.

If your child has problems reading books, offer him comics to read.

To prevent your child from making a mistake when choosing a book for independent reading, you can use the “five-finger rule.” It works like this: the child opens the selected book on any page in the middle, begins to read, and each time he encounters an unfamiliar word, he raises one finger. If he opens all five fingers to the end of the page, it means that the chosen book is most likely still too difficult for him. But since the child has chosen it, do not deprive him of the opportunity to get acquainted with this story - read the book out loud to him.

Teenagers are very busy, so reading a picture book can be an option when time for socializing is extremely limited.

A good book is a good book, and it doesn’t matter whether it’s a picture book or something else. The main thing is to read to children those books that interest them and develop the ability to understand literature and its value.

You need to understand that a real reader, like an endurance runner, cannot be trained in one evening. This happens slowly and gradually. Start with short picture books, then move on to books that you need to read several days in a row. Then you can take on short stories, already divided into chapters (this is convenient!). And finally, you can take on books of a hundred pages or more.

Children are naturally curious and wonder what will happen next. Therefore, reading aloud is an essential tool for developing children's attention.
