RAISE A READER: SHARING BOOKS WITH YOUNG CHILDREN TO DEVELOP A LOVE OF READING
培养爱阅读的人：和您年幼的子女分享书籍以及培养爱好阅读的习惯
Now is the time to raise a reader!
Parents often ask: when should I start reading to my children? The answer is that early literacy should begin at birth, just like any other parenting responsibility.
Sharing books, stories, songs, and rhymes from an early age has enormous benefits.
Reading to your children:
1.Stimulates their brains and helps them develop.
2.Gives both of you quality time to bond and have fun together.
3.Encourages them to speak and read by introducing them to the pleasure of stories, the sounds and rhythms of language, and the shapes of letters.
4.Is virtually FREE!
The most important thing you can do to help your children become readers for life is to teach them to love books, and this booklet is full of useful tips and examples on how to do just that. The ideas here don't have to be used at a scheduled story time -a few minutes of reading activities in your daily routine each day can be beneficial. Read to your child at bath time or on the bus,play story or song tapes in the car, or just talk to them about daily events at any time! If you can, invite older children or relatives to read to your child. All of this helps to Raise a Reader!
Early literacy in two-language household:
If you speak a language in your house other than English or French, you can still raise your children as readers by sharing stories, songs and rhymes in both languages. Try these activities:
1.Use books in one language, but translate them as you go.
2. Play “point and say” in both languages, perhaps having the child translate.
3.Use dual-language books.
4.Set aside certain times or family members to speak and read English, or your native language only. |
