The time is now: many ordinary people signed the verdict in the Book - they say that everything is already digital, multimedia, much more interesting than in paper thicker, on which neither video nor audio can fit.
Some time ago, the plot was extremely popular on the Internet: the kid who saw the butterfly on the window tried to “enlarge” it, spreading his fingers in different directions on the glass, like on a touch screen.
Users of the global web were touched by the baby's advancement, his resourcefulness and fantasy. Few people saw the black hole of oblivion into which the surrounding technique, which does not develop imagination and horizons, plunges us.
Dolls in babies themselves eat, drink and cope with natural needs. The cars themselves buzz or howl with a siren, blink or automatically push the stairs.
Technique copes with everything by itself: there is no need to dream, there is nothing to explore the world around and go to parallel worlds, rustling pages.
And remember the unforgettable travels of Jules Verne, the breathtaking adventures of Alexandre Dumas, the strange names of the characters of Fenimore Cooper: St. John's Wort, Hawkeye, Long Carbine. Remember how you read Rybakov’s "Dirk" and "The Bronze Bird" every time worrying about the lives of young heroes, and how they played their adventures with the guys in the yard.
Life, devoid of touch screens and ready-made solutions, was neither boring nor monotonous. The book topped the list of interests of the most intelligent people and led the creative development.
Do you really want to deprive of all this your beloved child when you doomedly splash your hands and let him go to the world of entertainment: to a computer or TV. His own fantastic worlds and fabulous discoveries have not yet been born, but it’s not too late for them to be born.
My child does not want to read. Adult excuses
Rummage through the memory. You may remember when the last time a child saw a book in the hands of those whom he imitates by all the laws of nature: from his parents. When was the last time you read anything with him except for a receipt for utility bills or a check at a supermarket?
The man begins with imitation. At first, he watches others walk and starts walking. Then imitates the ambient sounds and finds speech. And afterwards, when it comes to such things as reading, he also needs a positive example. So the modern child is learning to "sink" in the tablet, which they stuck to him, "so as not to interfere", or to make reposts "VKontakte", because mom is passionate about it all day and night.
Never dissuade that "my dad didn’t like to read either" or "apparently, reading is not for him."
• This is a social skill, it can be grafted.. Genetic memory does not carry information in DNA that ancestors did not like to read.
• The ancestors of all mankind were sitting on the branches and could grab food with their feet: this does not mean that such skills should be maintained with us.
• Start with yourself. Nothing is more reassuring to the baby, imitating mom, as her approval.
Why the child does not want to read
Think about whether the TV is constantly on in your house, is there a computer available from morning to evening? No wonder that a child will choose an easier way to get information than reading, in which you need to read and analyze, sometimes returning for reflection to already mastered pieces of text. Everything is simpler on TV: pictures change each other, everything is easy and visual.
• Of course, some children have a penchant for reading, others do not. But this reason is not a reason to refuse attempts.
• It is possible that it is not customary in your home to spend time reading, it is not customary to assemble a library.
• Perhaps sad memories of being forced to read forcibly prevent you from being convincing.
• It is possible that the child simply does not perceive the parents as teachers, and therefore do not want to obey.
Do not be jealous of the kid to the tutor, if he in his attempts will be more successful than you. After all, this is not about your ambitions, but about the developed and fulfilling future of your child.
What categorically can not do if the child does not want to read?
• To yell in a mad voice at the child and threaten any kind of reprisal: I will beat, I will not let you go for a walk, I will deprive the sweet, I will fall, I will blink, blink, and so on.
So the future bookworm will develop not love for the Book, but its association with constant threats against it. Is this what you want?
• Lean from rewards in the form of material goods: money, things and other things.
The child, therefore, will not love reading, but will simply learn to trade his time and manipulate you.
• Make read a knowingly boring book.
Did you look into it yourself? And How?
• Spit on this problem.
The success of the development of the child in many academic disciplines depends on reading. You want to give him a normal education?
• Replace the book on the TV.
No film will replace the book in depth and originality of images, if possible, speculate and dofantazirovat. For sure, he will slip Assol, which he did not expect, and d'Artagnan, whom the child himself would have imagined much more spectacular and interesting. However, the "zomboyaschik" will deprive him of such an advantage.
Use all prohibited methods only if you want to reap their fruits: find dirty pictures on the pages of books, books themselves under the window in the yard, or collect pieces of paper in the house brutally torn from folios. A child who is afraid to abuse a book will cheat differently: he will pretend to read or read the given "through the word."
How to teach to read a baby who is still too early to read?
We must begin when it dawns on you: he has a meaningful look! It has been established that children who in infancy were not allowed to scoff at paper, where something is printed, are more careful and more loving to books in the future. But if your child doesn’t like to read anymore, it means that the little bug has grown a little, and the advice on care, at least, turns out to be inopportune.
• The sooner you start reading a fairy tale to a child, the more space there is to hope for the awakening of interest in the book and in reading.
• Bright, colorful pictures in the books attract interest. At first, the peanut will only look at and touch beautiful illustrations, not knowing what it feels and tries to try to taste the future source of valuable knowledge. But he will get used to the presence of the book in his life. Books-toys for the baby are also useful, and, in addition to the role indicated above, they will fulfill the duty of the finger exercise machine.
• Small and inquisitive hooligans can buy tear-free books that can be easily washed after any adventures: lunch, bathing, burying in a sandbox - cardboard, plastic, cloth, even wooden ones!
• Place the bookshelf in the nursery as low as possible - let the crumbs have access to the literature! Perhaps it will be his own small open bookshelf, to which the baby will reach without your help when he pleases. If the child does not constantly see the books, he is unlikely to feel attracted to them.
• If you have placed an old Goethe edition of pre-revolutionary release within the reach of a one-and-a-half yearbook, do not complain to your friends about vandalism of a boot. Themselves to blame: the child is guided by the interest that you fueled, and not at all the hatred of book production. Chad is unaware that this book was worth a fortune, and you are now ruined.
• When choosing books for your baby, consider the design nuances: good illustrations are bright, but without “acidic” inks, large print and quality paper. The younger the reader, the larger should be the font in the book.
• It is also worthwhile to familiarize yourself with the content of the masterpiece: from what you slip a child, depends on its further interest. In addition, the text should correspond to the age category indicated on the cover. You can search the Internet for future purchase reviews written by other parents or critics.
• Do not forget yourself and teach your child to think that the best gift is a book. If a pussy will receive beautiful books of fairy tales for his birthday, then later, when he grows up, an excellent illustrated encyclopedia, he will cherish the books already because parents consider them good gifts.
What if the child does not want to read, and it is too late for the methods of working with babies?
There are a number of "promotional" tricks.
Trick one:
Keep reading to your child for the night. The evening reading ceremony of something exciting can go on at least until the 11th grade of the school - this makes you closer to each other. So, constantly reading very interesting literature for the night, interrupt in the most unexpected and intriguing place. Remember how it happens in multi-part films, when the series ends where the whole family sticks greedily to the screen? Or, when watching the most fascinating episodes, a gum advertisement suddenly bursts into space? So, being interrupted, you can arouse the curiosity of your young listener to the recognition of the continuation of the plot. He is definitely curious about at least what's behind the pictures and it is possible that, peeping, you will see how the young scout views or reads the book you left.
Trick two:
Start watching with a child a new cartoon or movie, shot in an interesting literary work - according to his age, of course, and not “The Master and Margarita” or “Crime and Punishment”. And then slyly interrupt the show under some tricky occasion. Then the sentence should follow to find out the end of the fairy tale from the book - by yourself or in your performance.
Third trick:
Audiobooks. The same tricky scheme with interruption on the most interesting place easily passes with them. But sometimes they just help out in the car, during the daytime sleep, when the cub does not want to calm down, but at least it is necessary to lie down and rest.
Trick Four:
Invite someone else's aunt with pedagogical education and experience. Sometimes a stranger even an adult listens better. What to say about the child?
Trick five:
Zatel "literary club." If both parents and the child have read (listened to) the book, then discussing it and finding new truths in it is not just opening the child new horizons of knowledge and thinking, but also finding hidden meanings and depths in the book. Perhaps even for ourselves. In addition, the baby will begin to understand that his opinion as a reading person is valuable to you - and this is another degree of motivation for reading and discussing with you, such adults and smart, new folios.
Trick Six:
You can stir up the interest of the child to reading, artfully manipulating his tastes and preferences. If the child loves nature, slip him for starters Paustovsky or Prishvin, if the little man - the so-called "dogman" or "cat owner" - then "White Bim the Black Ear" and "Puss in Boots" are quite to his taste.
World literature has created an ocean of priceless masterpieces. Even for young "monarchists" there are books to taste: for example, "The Prince and the Pauper" or "The Little Prince". And the little man who has finished reading at least one of Mark Twain’s works will happily agree to read "Tom Sawyer" or "The Yankees from Connecticut at the court of King Arthur."
If the child does not want to read, but you are determined to teach him to this exciting and useful activity, then you certainly will succeed.
Parental fantasy, brought up on good books in due time, will take advantage of our advice and invent new insidious and merciless tricks with the help of which a new avid book reader will grow. As they say in the old parable, the road will be mastered only by walking. And you, who have already embarked on this path, will not turn away from it anywhere and be sure to share with your beloved baby and the unforgettable journeys of Jules Verne, and the dizzying adventures of Alexander Dumas, and the brave Indians of Fenimore Cooper, and the young pioneers of Anatoly Rybakov and Arkady Gaidar.
