Growing Together Our approach in the following chapters is to focus not only on the growth of the child, but also on the growth of the parents—the growth of the relationship. Child development and the fashionable cliché stimulating a child mean not only what the child does and what

Books, books, books... fairy tales, novels, fantasy... How many of them have there been in our lives and how many more will there be? Some people read to occupy their time, while others just love to read. Why do children need to read?

For as long as I can remember, I have always read books. In childhood it was fairy tales and numerous stories and adventures, now it’s classics and other similar literature. At first I read because I had to, for grades. And now I don’t understand how you can live without books. I was never forced to sit in front of books and read constantly; rather, on the contrary, they asked me to take care of my eyes (but this didn’t help much, I’ll tell you a secret).

Reading is important and necessary. Many mothers start their children while they are still in the womb. This is how we try to instill in children a love of books and influence their future development. After birth, we read before bed so that the baby falls asleep faster. For children who cannot read yet, this is an opportunity to learn how to communicate with other children. Reading aloud teaches you to correctly formulate phrases and correctly express your thoughts, so after reading, be sure to ask your child to briefly talk about what he heard and learned new.

Eternal source of information

Reading is an important skill for obtaining information. Without reading books, we will not know, for example, when Ivan the Terrible was born, what DNA is, or why it rains. The book opens up a new, still unknown and huge world for the child. If children see books and reading as a source of information, then all the knowledge accumulated by humanity will be open to them.

It is important that the child gets acquainted not only with domestic, but also foreign literature. You can start with simple fairy tales. Grimm, G. Andersen and the adventures of J. Swift and M. Twain. This will help in the future to realize oneself as part of a big world that does not end with home and school.

Personal development

Reading provides an excellent opportunity to feel like not just a child or a student, it gives you the opportunity to try on the role of any character you like (for example, Tom Sawyer, Dunno, etc.). The child develops logical thinking: even adults, when reading a book, always try to guess - how will it all end? Even a simple riddle will increase children's confidence in themselves and their abilities. Why isn't it an important achievement? But how interesting it is to come up with the ending yourself at the beginning of the book, and then compare whether it’s true or not? I have friends who, as children, wrote their own endings for the books they liked, if they were somehow dissatisfied with the existing one. And it's not as bad as it might seem. The child builds his own logical chain and shows his vision of the world of the book and the world of the hero.

From books, children learn how important it is to help not only their parents, but also other people. Learn to respect people, animals and the environment. Books enrich a child’s vocabulary and instill correct speech skills.

Reason for mutual communication

Reading is not necessarily a solitary process. You can read a book with your child and have a general discussion, this way you will teach your child to clearly express his thoughts, listen to the opinions of others and develop communication skills with other people. You can invite other guys to such an event and arrange something like a mini-club for book lovers. This form of introduction to books cannot but interest a child.

If you want your child to read, set an example for him. If he sees that there are books and magazines in the house, then he will know that you value reading and will follow your example. The main thing is that there is no need to force reading, otherwise the child will perceive the process as hard labor, a punishment from which he wants to get rid of quickly. After such measures, your child is unlikely to want to continue reading for himself. After all, first of all, a book is still entertainment and endless hours of pleasure. It should be perceived as a pleasant activity, a source of interesting and useful information, and not an imposed necessity.

For the modern world of technology, where the Internet is everything, the ability to effectively use Internet resources and evaluate the reliability and value of the information found there is of paramount importance. Therefore, reading skill is so important, which develops the ability to think critically.

Don't worry if your child reads the same book several times. Children feel more comfortable when they already know the end of their favorite story and can tell it by heart. Reread your favorite books with your child, but slowly offer him new options.

What does it take for a child to love reading?

For initial reading, children need to have 5 skills:

1. – be able to listen and recognize intonations during oral reading (expressive reading);
2. – correlate what is written in the book with the sounds of oral speech;
3. – know and understand as many words as possible;
4. – understand and extract meaning from what you read;
5. – be able to read quickly and accurately.

And finally, I would like to say: be sure to read with your child, discover new fairy-tale worlds with him and immerse yourself in the world of children's literature.

It would seem that what is difficult about reading? Each of us has been able to read since the age of five, and until now we have coped well with works of varying complexity. However, not everything is as obvious as it seems at first glance. Have you ever noticed that even if a book was interesting, you still can’t remember the name of the main character a couple of days after reading it?

The ability to read is not only about putting letters into words, it is about comprehending the meaning of what you read. Regardless of what you are reading - a scientific book, a work of fiction or an article on the Internet. Therefore, effective reading needs to be learned. We offer you 10 tips on how to read books correctly to get the effect you are looking for.

1. Don't try to embrace the immensity

It often happens that, having happily bought several books, we put them on the shelf and never open them. And then we buy more and more books with beautiful covers, adding to the endless list of unread things. How to read books correctly? Don't buy too much at once. Better take one or two and finally read them. And don’t deceive yourself by buying expensive albums with high-quality illustrations - practice shows that for most people such books pointlessly gather dust on their shelves, remaining unclaimed.

1. There's no need to finish a boring book

Some people think that not finishing a book you have started is a bad omen. Some people think that this is disrespect for the author. But there are so many interesting things in the world! Don't waste time on something you don't like - it will only reduce your motivation to read. Give the book, for example, 50 pages. Or 70. If you still don’t get the taste, put this one aside and take another one.

1. Prepare to Read

It is always important to know who is writing the book, what it is about and why. Even if it's a tabloid detective story. Don’t be lazy and read information about the author, abstract, and a couple of reviews. If this is specialized literature, it would be a good idea to study the contents and afterword - they usually summarize the results and draw conclusions, which will help you decide whether you need the information presented in the book.

1. It's okay to not like paper books

Not everyone likes paper books. A dislike for books and reading is not at all an indicator of low intelligence. There are many alternative formats, for example, you can always listen to a book (audiobooks). Preference can also be given to articles, codecasts, and thematic mailings.

1. Use a pencil when reading

Want to learn how to read books correctly? The main rule is to use a simple pencil when reading. They talk about this at school, but not everyone follows the advice of literature teachers. When you “read with a pencil,” the process is more thoughtful and effective. You highlight the thoughts you like, comment on something in the margins, as if talking with the author, and not just swallowing his monologue. And thus you pass the text through yourself, highlighting the most important, interesting and useful.

1. Reading less than 30-40 pages at a time is pointless

30-40 pages is about a chapter. A chapter is a more or less complete thought. If you read 5-10 pages and stop, you lose the logic of the story, and the rest of the chapter may become less clear to you. Try to read at least 40 pages at a time - this will not only help you read the book before you get bored with it, but also understand it as deeply as possible.

1. Don't get stuck on one genre

Do you like detective stories? Great, but don't read 10 of them at once. Because the first couple of books will bring you pleasure, and the rest will seem bland because you are fed up with the monotony of the plots. Do you prefer non-fiction? Books on business or psychology? Alternate them with fiction or biographies of famous people. This will not only diversify the reading process and expand your horizons, but will also prevent you from getting tired of one genre, even your favorite one.

1. Share your impressions

The best way to formulate your opinion about a book is to write about it. A special blog and an account on any social network are suitable for this. Your favorite quotes and comments in the margins will help you in writing your own review. You will evaluate the work again, remember your impressions, develop them - this will help you better remember what you read, and discussing the book with other readers is also very pleasant. And also - you will never forget what and when you read. At the end of the year it is interesting to take stock.

The following follows from this rule:

1. You can always re-read your reviews

To remember details of a book or your emotions at the time of reading, for example. This is especially true for scientific literature.

1. Discuss what you read

Discussion is not only a way to better understand the author, but also an excellent opportunity to learn how to formulate your thoughts competently and cogently. It is quite possible that after discussing the book you will discover something new in it that you yourself did not pay attention to.

I have often wondered: what are the benefits of reading together with a child? What is its main advantage? And the answer was right there on the surface. It is at the very foundation of our existence - it's all about love. It turned out that simply by reading aloud to your child, you can acquire and give love in huge quantities. And it's so simple! Although, I will not hide, at first glance it was thought that this was an incredible and titanic work. You touch a baby with your skin, you feel his skin on yours, you absorb the baby’s smell, and he, in return, absorbs yours. But this is the main component, especially at the early stage of child development. From an early age, a child begins to understand what your warmth and love means. Reading together, as it were, connects us to each other, binds us with bonds of love. A huge world opens up before a child when you sit with him like this, hugging him, holding his little hand in your hand and quietly reading a book out loud to him.

I often remember how much children enjoy chewing, eating and playing with books. Many of my friends began to scold the child, immediately take the book from their hands and threaten to no longer give them a beautiful book worth several hundred rubles. What is the child’s reaction to such statements? Yes, he immediately began to whine, and from above, dad also shouted at his new “hysteria.” And nothing surprising. This reaction is quite predictable. Mom took the most amazing and educational thing - a book! Where does the child then get the desire to pick it up again if he was just scolded for it? And if you think about it, the child still doesn’t quite understand what exactly he has done wrong to the book and to you personally.
Instead of scolding, rejoice! The child uses one of the best and available tools for learning books. Using your lips, tasting and smelling everything. This is all part of an early exploration of books (and the world around us). It's not that hard to be patient! Soon he or she will turn the pages on their own and respond to books with genuine joy, wonder, laughter and curiosity.

And so we moved on to curiosity about books, to looking at pictures and content. And then a question immediately arises. What books should my child read? The question is not an easy one. I go into a bookstore, and on the shelf in the children's section there are simply countless books. You can get lost - this one is beautiful, and the one with funny pictures, and the other one is replete with all kinds of musical and holographic material. And only from your own experience and having read a lot of literature on this issue, you understand that the child loves to celebrate the musicality of the language of rhyme and poetry. And in this regard, Russian folk nursery rhymes, ditties, and Pushkin’s fairy tales (for example) are very useful and very exciting for the child himself. My child immediately picked up on everything that was happening and began waving his arms, smiling back at me. We should not forget about the Russian classics of children's literature. Try reading Marshak, your baby will rejoice with you, and you will remember your childhood. Children love to learn, they love to open the hidden doors of books, in which they can reveal something new, something that gives clues. These are the first steps towards the correct perception of books in adulthood.
And don’t forget, kids love pictures. Illustrations are one of the most important components of books. And here new nuances were found. Did I know that the pictures in the book should be large, the animals, for example, should look as natural as possible (the bear should not look like a robot or a creature of unknown nature). And a picture that is not overloaded with details is perceived much better by a child than a book covered in 3D details for 1000 rubles. In addition, it is best for the baby to perceive the illustration and the content separately. For example, there is a bear on one side, and a funny poem about it on the other. There are such books. And they are easy to find.
I once learned that children are able to distinguish a huge number of natural shades, starting from the age of three months. I went to the same bookstore (and sometimes you can order it online) and bought cards with different shades of colors. And even if I didn’t understand their name, everything was signed there. This activity turned out to be so exciting and fun for the child that already on the second day she began to repeat the name after me, albeit not ideally. I call, and she repeats. We had a lot of fun together when we spent time like this. I didn’t spend a lot of time on this, and it’s probably not worth it. The main thing in reading together is to be systematic and not overloaded. Just 3-5 minutes a day. But every day. From a psychological and pedagogical point of view, this is very important. And the child develops comprehensive thinking, organization, and acquires new knowledge.
It is difficult to sit down your hyperactive child, and also to read. He can’t even sit for 5 minutes, so how can he create this miracle? Surely many of you have had this problem. And the solution is quite simple and not at all unique in its essence. At one point I just realized - why should I fight with my child if I can play his own game. And everything went like clockwork. We began to turn the process of learning and reading into a game. Remember yourself when you were young and you will understand how much you didn’t want to sit in one place, you wanted to run, because you had more than enough energy, and a boring and uninteresting activity distracted you from the process more than it brought benefit. So how is my child different from me? Together you will be distracted and this seemingly tiring moment (but inside you realize that it is important) will be filled with love and care. And then everything can turn completely different.
At first we just looked at the pictures. Then they remembered what was drawn on them - whoever remembered the most details. Then they read individual words and looked for them in the picture. Then suggestions, - and so on... use your imagination to the fullest! Illustrate sentences or paragraphs or poems yourself - with surrounding objects. Draw (be sure to do it together). Demonstrate movements and sounds to each other...
My baby began to enjoy spending time with her mother and with a book more and more. And she herself, more and more often, began to ask to read.
OK. How did I decide when I should start reading with her? There are a lot of different opinions here, a lot of techniques known throughout the world. Let’s say that in Soviet times Zaitsev’s technique was very widespread. Who believed that a child should be taught to read from the age of two. But this is only suitable for kindergarten, for group use. I learned that a child’s brain begins to perceive information from the age of three months. And most of the knowledge acquired before the age of 3 is stored for life and develops certain abilities of the child. And at the same time, I didn’t start fanatically throwing away all the necessary and unnecessary information, a million books, etc. Let's remember what I said in the paragraph above. Well, if you are not sure that it works, that the information is really perceived, that the baby really understands what his mother is trying to read, tell and show him. It's easy to understand. For several months we read, played, learned. And when the game ended, she asked her on the street, in the store, at home - where is the bear or where is the tree, and where is “ovau” (that’s what she calls the oval) and the child consciously showed or tried to pronounce sounds, words... and soon clearly name objects, colors, etc.
And finally, a few useful rules:

When reading aloud to your child, try to hold the book at the child's eye level.
The book should be simple and understandable - it should not contain complex words or incomprehensible figures of speech.
Hold the book at arm's length
Don’t babble, but pronounce all sounds clearly, watch your diction
After reading or completing a task, be sure to support your child (how to do this in the video training)
Read with feeling, intoning, fun, funny, interest the child

That's all. Try and please your child, discover for yourself and for him the incredibly colorful and interesting world of books! And remember how much love and happiness you give to your baby.
