The importance of family reading

How many families now practice family reading? I doubt it very much. Adults are so busy with their own affairs, with their interests that such a concept as family reading is already becoming almost archaism. Of course, you can always find an explanation for this: before there were no televisions and computers, in the evenings people had nothing to do, so they read one book with the whole family; maybe there weren't many books, so we read the book together and aloud. And now all of us are so busy with their own affairs, games and TV that there is not enough time for reading together, but desire.

Or maybe this joint reading is not needed? Let everyone read what they like. Remember, as in the well-known poem: “How good to be able to read. No need to pester my mother ... Or you can take and read! " And when the child has learned to read, many parents are glad that now it is no longer necessary to read and to all the child's requests to read, they answer that you can already read yourself. And the kid carries this book into the room, tries to read on his own.

Parents only forget that the child cannot read much yet, just as he cannot read with expression. This means that he understands the meaning of the text of the book in part. And most importantly, he does not get joy from communicating with the book and his parents. The child wants to read, begins, but quickly gets tired of reading and of incomprehensible words and sentences. And next time he may simply not pick up the book. And then we, parents, begin to worry about why the child does not want to read, and we force him to read. What do we get then? Of course, a complete disgust for reading.

But this situation could have been prevented at the very beginning and instill in the child an interest in the book, if only we had spent 20-30 minutes a day reading with the child. And it doesn't matter at all who it will be - mom, dad, grandmother or sister, as long as one of the adults reads with the child.

Of course, you can ask: Why is this necessary if the child already knows how to read? Let him read it on his own.

Sooner or later, the child will learn to read on his own. Moreover, this is taught at school, but he may not learn to enjoy reading. In order to enjoy any process, it must be pleasant and interesting. And reading for a child, especially at first, is a difficult job, not a pleasure. And whether it becomes a pleasure depends largely on adults.

In addition, in the process of reading, the child may not understand the whole meaning of what he has read, and he may not always clarify or realize this. So it turns out that in the process of reading, the child works, gets tired and does not understand the whole meaning of the text, loses thought, does not notice cause-and-effect relationships, does not always see funny moments, because he is completely absorbed in the reading process. And the book becomes incomprehensible to him or he does not understand it quite correctly. Will he take the book in hand another time with pleasure?

Why does the older generation, today's grandparents, almost everyone love to read and read all their free time? Most likely, precisely because in childhood they read with their parents. Because during their childhood and youth, each family set aside time for family reading of books together. So, maybe we should revive these traditions and start reading books with children, the whole family?

Let's think about what family reading gives you and your child?

• You imperceptibly for the child, very unobtrusively instill in him love and interest in the book. After all, the child sees that adults often read books, discuss them, tell each other and children. And, whether we like it or not, the child is not based on what we say, but what he sees around him.

• You teach your toddler to read correctly, with expression, showing a pattern of cultural reading.

• You make it easier for the child to understand the text by asking questions about the test and clarifying how he understood the meaning. You explain incomprehensible words and concepts. Pay attention to humorous moments.

• You discuss what you read with the child, direct his thought in the right direction, help to see the important, what is hidden in the subtext.

• You teach to pay attention to little things and establish causal relationships. You develop the child's speech and expand his horizons, explaining incomprehensible words and new concepts.

• You know the child's interests, dreams and desires that are manifested in the process of reading and discussion. You can direct his thoughts in the right direction and correct them a little.

• You communicate with the child, give him all of yourself in these minutes, your friendship is strengthened, which helps the child all his life.

• Your child learns to read, develops reading technique, love of books and interest in reading. And all this is completely imperceptible to him, just reading books with his parents.

And you get all this by spending only 20-30 minutes a day on joint reading!

Do not deprive the child of the joy of communicating with you, and then you will not have to complain that the child does not want to read. Revive the tradition of family reading in your family, help your child
