If you want to cultivate your child\’s interest in reading, first ask yourself if you like reading.

Regarding the issue of children\’s reading, the more I think about it, the less simple it becomes, and the more I write about it, the more I feel it is not explained clearly. I carefully clarified my thoughts and thought that the problem of reading can basically be answered by teaching students the six elements of writing compositions. Including: Who reads? Why read? What to read? how to read? When to read? Where to read? How to use the book after reading it? This article is from a parent’s perspective. 1. Who reads? Why should children read? Do you read it yourself? If you don’t read it yourself, why do you want your children to read it? Don\’t say that I have to go to work and don\’t have time, don\’t say that I don\’t have to study since I\’m already working. Children are the best at imitating and trusting adults the most, with parents ranking first. 2. Why read? Parents want their children to study and cultivate their children\’s interest in reading from an early age, mostly for their children\’s study and exams. So what if there is no exam? Don’t you want to study any more? Can we take a longer-term view? Why do you read? A reader’s message makes a lot of sense. @晏子 There are four uses for reading: practical use (reading for exams); common use (reading for daily needs); brave use (reading to understand great principles, such as self-improvement and patriotism); Useless use (reading for pleasure and pleasure, similar to watching a movie or listening to a concert). The greatest use of reading should be the use of useless things. It can be seen that studying for exams is actually at the bottom of the pile. As for useless uses, I have some doubts about the examples here. In fact, what I want to emphasize here is the non-utilitarian nature of reading. Readers can really like reading and read in order to improve their cultivation and broaden their horizons. Such reading is not utilitarian, but perhaps it can be better realized in terms of utilitarianism. It seems a bit hard to pronounce, but in human terms, it means: if you study just for the exam in front of you, you may not really get a high score, or even if you get a high score for a while, you will have no stamina. Those who study for fun may have average grades in the short term and it seems that studying is of no use, but their future personal growth may be better than those who study for exams. The higher realm of reading, reading for the love of reading, is becoming increasingly rare among too many adults. Many people surf the Internet, read gossip, watch movies and TV shows, shop, check Moments, and play games, but they don’t read books. Not only do I not read large books, I don’t even read many articles. When I browse Moments, I read everything but articles. As an adult, you only want to do easy things and don\’t read books. What qualifications do you have to ask your children to read books? Are you already working just because your kids are in school? Do you know, I once heard primary school students chatting on the bus, saying that they hope to grow up quickly and work quickly! What logic does this actually convey? ——Going to school is hard, studying is hard, and you have to do homework and be controlled by adults. After working, it becomes easier. You don’t have to do homework anymore, you can still make money, and you don’t have to be controlled by adults anymore. But does this logic make sense? Is it really easier after work than at school? Obviously not. If you don\’t have the ability, you may have a bad job, low wages, or even no job. Do these children know? Children don’t know because they are young and ignorant, but as an adult, do you have the responsibility to tell your children? 3. What to read? If it\’s just for the exam,Then read the books that will be tested in the exam. If it is for life, then read more good books. These two concepts are different. Those who only read textbooks, only read reference books, and only do exam questions are not real reading. For adults, in the professional field, there will definitely be some books that must be read and tests that must be taken. For such reading, it is actually the same as for children, it is exam-oriented. OK! Then study hard, take the test well, and strive for high scores, right? You always ask your children to \”study well and take exams well\”, why don\’t you set an example yourself? Not to mention that you don’t need to study hard and take exams when you are working. In fact, at every stage of life, you should have the same attitude in everything you do. (I especially want to say something that is outrageous in the world: Parents who usually only ask their children to do whatever they want may not be very good when they are students themselves.) As for the higher realm of reading, reading for the love of reading, in too many cases There are fewer and fewer of them in adults, which is actually scary. People who are interested in reading actually have a very wide range of reading. For example, I don’t seem to read books about engineering, science, and relatively professional subjects (actually I can’t understand them), but I read all other books that are pleasing to the eye. Educational books are professional books on work; literary books are professional books on reading; novels are loved by many people. I have also read and followed some of the more popular novels, such as \”Langya Bang\” , \”The Legend of Zhen Huan\”, \”Step by Step\”, \”A Thousand Bones of Flowers\”, \”Ode to Joy\”, etc., but I rarely watch them now because I don\’t have time; inspirational ones are very good at beating the blood. What to read? Read anything. There are so many good books, but what worries me most is that I have no time to read them and no place to put them. As for how to choose good books, that is another topic. You need to read more books to develop your eye for book selection. 4. How to read? You can read it however you want. Depending on needs, book situation, time schedule, etc., some books can be quickly browsed, some books need to be read in outline, some books need to be read intensively, some books need to be taken notes, and some books can be used after reading. Try it. 5. When to read? As a working person, it may not be realistic if you want to find a lot of time to devote to studying. After all, you have to work at least 8 hours a day, and sometimes you have to work overtime. When I get home from get off work, I have to do housework and take care of my children. After a long weekend, I still have to buy groceries, clean up the house, prepare for life in the next week, and sometimes take my children to various tutoring classes. What to do? You can only use fragmented time. For example: when riding a bus (of course, the traffic conditions in Beijing mean that the bus is crowded, so it is impossible to read in the bus. Maybe you can try listening to a book), while queuing, during lunch break, while on a business trip, taking your children to class. when. If you insist on saying: I am too tired and just want to relax at this time, then I want to say: 1. You don’t love reading enough. For those who really love reading, reading is a kind of relaxation. Second, your expectations for your children are unrealistic. You want to relax when you are tired, and so do your children! Don’t do to others what you don’t want others to do to you. You can’t want your children to work hard if you want to be comfortable or lazy! Perhaps those parents who have worked hard to cultivate their children find that the results do not meet their expectations.Because here (let your children do things you don’t want to do)! 6. Where to read? The questions of where to read and when to read are actually the same. It can be done at any time or at any place. Find your own time, find your own place. If you say, I have to be in a quiet environment to read, it means that your concentration is not enough, then continue to practice. Such environmental requirements directly limit the amount of reading you can do. You must work hard to improve your concentration and be able to read at any time and anywhere, so as to expand your reading possibilities. 7. How to use the book after reading it? The highest level of reading is actually for useless purposes. However, I have heard of some great people who can find ways to turn their gains into money every time they read a book. I also know that there are people who write book reviews every time they read a book, and through this method, they become a well-paid freelancer. But none of these people study to make money. They all gain through long-term persistence, reading, using, and finding their own methods, methods, and methods. Therefore, for adults, exam-oriented reading can be directly used at work. A large amount of other interest reading may not have any effect in the short term, but it can actually broaden your horizons, diverge your thinking, improve your quality, and change your perspective on problems… If you think this is too slow and too invisible, then There are many reading groups and sharing meetings now. You can choose one to join and communicate and share the books you read with others. This is \”use\”. Summary: After all, if you want to cultivate your children to love reading, parents must first make sure they love reading themselves!
