Tips for parents: teach your child to read easily and with pleasure
(History found on the Internet, author Yana Kataeva)
My eldest son and I are gradually preparing for school. Once I gave him a book for beginners to read, asked him to read two paragraphs.
Rosya stumbled, got upset and flatly refused to continue reading. I began to convince him that he would succeed, that it is always difficult at first, that reading is great, and so on …
Rosya became even more stubborn and irritated. We were close to a fight. And then I came to my senses and said:
— Son, you don’t want to read this book. Do you think it is important for you to learn how to read quickly?
-Yes.
-What will it give you? What then becomes possible for you that you cannot now?
-I can search for cartoons on YouTube and videos about Lego.
— How can you and I come up with such a way that we can read and train and not quarrel over this? Come on, instead of a book, will you give me these cards? (Note: cards with words that we pull out in turn, and we get funny sentences like «the cow washes her curls»). Will you read them?
-Yes.
-How many offers at a time?
— Well, let’s five.
I decided that five simple sentences at a time without nerves was much better than being bigger and more complicated, but with quarrels and not so read.
We started playing these cards regularly. Rosya agrees willingly, because it was his decision. Reading speed is growing
