The pages of the book examine the organization of family reading as a method of additional education and upbringing of a school-age child - through introducing him to reading and motivating personal interest. Experienced methodological recommendations are given from the parent and additional education teacher. The chapters, written by the father of a teenage girl, in clear and practical language encourage the reader to open his eyes to his child, the reality of the interests of a small person, even at a time when educational reforms are not yet sufficiently conducive to this.
The book is addressed to a wide range of readers, parents, librarians, educators, teachers, and, of course, the schoolchildren themselves, who will learn a lot from it.
How NOT to teach a child to read books - the most common parental mistakes
Parents concerned about their children's education strive at all costs to instill a love of books, and in their impulses they make many mistakes.
- Many parents try to forcefully instill a love of books. And this is the first mistake, because you cannot force love.
- Another mistake is late training. Most moms and dads only think about reading when they start school. Meanwhile, attachment to books should begin in childhood, almost from the cradle.
- The flip side is the rush to learn to read. Early development is trendy today. Therefore, advanced mothers teach babies to read when they are still crawling, developing creative, athletic and mental inclinations ahead of time. But it is worth remembering that your impatience can cause a negative reaction in a child to books for many years.
- One of the most common mistakes is reading books that are not appropriate for your age. An 8-year-old child cannot read novels and poems with pleasure; you should not demand this from him. He is more interested in reading comics. But a teenager is not interested in the works of eternal classics; they still need to grow up to these books. Let him read modern and fashionable literature.
Use mass media
Modern television, cinema and computer games shamelessly use literature, endlessly producing remakes of famous works or simply stealing plots. However, this can also be used to your advantage. Another vulgar film adaptation of the adventures of the musketeers has appeared on the screens - conspiratorially suggest to your child: “Do you want to know how it really happened?” Help to find out the beginning and ending of the story shown on the screen, interest in what is left behind the scenes, and the discrepancies between the script and the original source.
