Now is the best time to guide the baby to read, because he is full of curiosity and thirst for knowledge. If you can start reading early, it will help the development of your child's mental and language abilities. How to guide babies to read?
Respect the baby's preferences
Every baby has different preferences, so parents should pay attention to observing when reading with their little ones, find out which types of books they are interested in, and choose books that the baby likes in order to make them enjoy reading more. Don't force your baby to read certain books that are well-known and beneficial because of personal preferences. If a baby lacks interest, even the best books may not be useful to him, and may even reduce his enthusiasm for reading.
Patience and repetition
If the baby frequently requests to read the same book, parents should patiently accompany them to read it repeatedly. Repetition is a learning characteristic of babies. This repetition method can increase the little one's experience and understanding of the book content. In fact, every reading can bring different feelings to babies.
Maintain a comfortable reading environment
Parents should choose a comfortable and quiet environment to have parent-child reading with their babies. For example, turning off the TV at home while reading; If conditions permit, it is advisable to set up a study room at home; Choose a comfortable corner as the reading corner.
Reading for babies
Since babies cannot read yet, the focus of reading is on "listening". Therefore, parents should ensure correct pronunciation when reading, guide their babies to read through auditory stimulation, and use the opportunity of reading to have a conversation with them. Parents can moderately imitate the content of books and make some tone changes to increase the attractiveness of the content to the baby.
Make good use of bedtime time
The pace of life in modern society is very fast, and both parents are busy with work, which often leads to many parents not knowing how to arrange their parent-child reading time. In fact, the time spent reading with babies does not need to be too long. You can spend 5-10 minutes reading with your baby after they are full or before they go to bed, allowing them to spend happy reading time in their parents' arms.
