最近，孩子待在家里的时间比较长，父母为了让孩子爱上阅读，必定花费了不少力气。I CAN READ一直致力于，让孩子掌握英语阅读技巧的同时，保持浓厚的英语阅读兴趣。

今天要和大家分享的，是由I CAN READ新加坡阅读专家团队撰写的给父母的一些方法建议，让家长们在家也能激发孩子对阅读的热爱，为孩子的学习生涯做准备~

与孩子一起大声朗读

说到让孩子体验到阅读的快乐的好方法，不得不说的就是父母陪孩子一起朗读，因为孩子的兴趣培养需要父母的引导。尤其是年龄比较小的孩子，他们会先听别人读，再自己学着阅读。

每天只需要读20或30分钟，让孩子听到书中新的单词、新的文学内容，他们会逐渐培养起读书的兴趣，他们会发现阅读很重要，并且意识到阅读是每一个人都可以养成的好习惯。

尽早养成阅读习惯

美国阅读委员会《成为阅读大国》的研究报告中表明：学校的每一项课程都依赖于阅读的基础，阅读能力是学习能力的核心。而小学三年级是阅读的关键期，在三年级以前，孩子应该对阅读产生兴趣并养成基本的阅读习惯。

父母可以尝试在家里找一个每天相对固定的时间，例如晚饭后、睡觉前等，每天只需要花费10-15分钟，随着年龄的增长可以逐渐增加到20-30分钟，让这个时间段成为孩子专属的阅读时间。这样做，孩子不仅会因为具有“仪式感”而变得期待这个时间，还会因为坚持而养成阅读的习惯。

选择合适的书

不同的年龄段有适合不同年龄段的书，如果选择的书本对孩子而言太难或者太容易，都不利于激发他们对阅读的兴趣，因此要选择与孩子认知发展、审美心理相符合的书。

在这里想给大家推荐Dr. Seuss(苏斯博士)的书，书籍基本分为三级，一个级别是面向低龄儿童的，通过亲子共读的形式以及容易记忆容易朗诵的韵文，让孩子认识单词，激发他们的学习兴趣。

推荐书目：

1.Dr. Seuss's ABC

2.Hop on pop

3.Mr.Brown can moo! Can you?

4.The foot book

5.The eye book

第二级更适合有一定独立阅读能力的孩子，故事风趣生动，不仅有超有趣的绕口令，读起来朗朗上口，还能帮助孩子在阅读初期建立自信。

推荐作品：

1.Green eggs and ham

2.Fox in socks

3.Wacky Wednesday

4.I Can Read with My Eyes Shut

5.Ten apples up on top

第三级推荐为能流利阅读的孩子选择，通过夸张滑稽的故事，让孩子可以收获很多人生哲理。

推荐作品：

1.The cat in the hat

2.The cat in the hat comes back

3.Scrambled Eggs Super

4.Horton Hears a Who

5.Oh, the Places You'll Go!

阅读需要练习

我们都知道，通过练习，孩子们的足球技术会越来越好，芭蕾舞姿会越来越优雅。阅读专家希望父母知道，阅读和其他技能一样，同样是需要练习的。

父母可以给孩子制定阅读计划，或者给孩子提问题，让孩子带着问题去阅读，通过正确科学的方式引导孩子阅读，激发孩子的阅读兴趣。

我们相信，父母能给孩子好的礼物，就是让他们发现阅读的乐趣并爱上阅读。首先可以从父母给孩子读书开始，然后逐步过渡到孩子自主阅读。

养成阅读习惯并爱上阅读的孩子，会成为成功的阅读者，将来在学习以及社会生活中，他们也将继续不断学习和成长。

What Reading Specialists Want Parents to Know

At I Can Read our team of Reading Specialists have lots of ideas, suggestions and guidelines for our parents to help them guide their little ones on the literacy path. We want parents to prepare their children for school by sharing a love for reading and reinforcing the idea that reading is important. 

Read on for more important advice on how to ensure your child develops a love of reading. 

Read Aloud with your Children 

Reading aloud for just 20/30 minutes a day will go a long way towards reading success. When children are read to they develop a love for reading. They see that reading is important and see that learning to read is something for all to achieve. They also hear new words, are introduced to new literature, and learn that books are read for both pleasure.

Start Early 

Try to set aside time every day, ideally at the same time so a routine is established. Not only will your child look forward to this time of day and look forward to the extra attention, but this habit will ensure you stick to it. You can start with as little as 10 or 15 minutes a day and increase to 20 to 30 minutes as they older. 

Get Rhyming

Get your children started as early as possible with the Dr. Seuss books for the introduction of rhyme, rhythm and silliness. They will love you for it. Eventually you can include some alphabet books. The more alphabet books read the easier it will be for your child to learn letters and letter sounds. You want them to get a head start – this will absolutely ensure a head start. 

Practise

Reading specialists want parents to know that reading takes practise. It is vital for success. Reading is like any other skill and it requires training. Children become better at football or ballet by practise, reading is no different.  

All our Reading Specialists agree whole heartedly the best gift a parent can give their children is the gift of reading. This begins with parents reading to their children and continues with children reading on their own. Children who read on their own become successful readers who continue to learn and grow both socially and academically throughout their whole life.

Happy Reading!
