Teach children to love books


Teach children to enjoy reading

Reading is one of the best ways to spend quality time with children, and if the children loved knjugu the earliest age, have set great foundations of their future education.

Bedtime fairy tale is much more than just a way to pack your kids to bed. Here's why it's important to read to children:

If children read aloud, allowing them to feel and experience the language in a new, special way, different from the everyday. In addition, reading the kids develop a sense of "story" with cause-effect sequence of.

Children who have parents read regularly are more adept at reading and writing when they go to school, and better communicate because they are accustomed to listen to others.

Reading creates a special bond between a child and a person who reads it, a remembrance of the ritual later in life become a valuable source of warmth and tenderness.

Thus, the child read every day, read even if you only have five minutes. The pattern of behavior that involves daily reading is a great educational model. Keep in mind that small children love routine, so you will look forward to enjoying the pleasant tales in your embrace. You can even choose your "special place" to read - chair, bed or even a pile of pillows on the floor.

Let the child has chosen the book, but be sure to always finish one you started. You tell him something about the writer, and must turn his attention to the illustrations, and leave him enough time to enjoy the drawings before moving to the next page.

"Replace" voice, so that "fits" the character of the hero and actions.

It is also to be careful not to read too quickly, so your child can follow the action. If you encounter a word that is unknown to the child, make an effort to explain its meaning before proceeding.

When you finish reading, talk about the book. Come back together to look at illustrations, allow your child to tell you how the story is experienced. Some say what you have learned, what he was funny, what was the best ...

If you are reading to children, "infect" them, turn them into "life" readers, and it is precious, beautiful gift you can give them.

What kind of books that children love to receive as a gift and that you would even want such a gift?

According to a survey conducted by 'MC Most "" by order of the National Library of Serbia in February this year found that 43 percent of youth aged 14 to 18 years, bought a book in the past year, as much as 68 percent of those who bought the book , buys them at least once every three months (which is a jump in the 27 percent compared to 2006. year).

Young people who have bought the book in the past year, as the main reasons for this state that do not have time to read (18 percent) or have no money (14 percent). Books usually buy at the bookstore (74 percent, a jump of 20 percent compared to 2006. Year) and from street vendors (3 percent). It would appear that the book market for young people in Serbia are very promising.

Young people say they usually buy books because of the content (42 percent), gift (13 percent), 30 percent for education and 19 percent recommended by acquaintances. As expected, most buy fiction (61 percent), professional books bought them 8 (down from 19 per cent as respondents chose this answer in 2006.), Books for children (11 percent), publications (5 percent), and dictionaries, encyclopedias and Atlas 5 percent (as in 2006. year, these books were bought 14 percent of young people).

The books are mostly informed via the Internet (48 percent of respondents stated this medium as a source of information), 35 percent from friends, from television, 26, of 10 newspapers and magazines from eight percent.

A large increase in the impact the Internet has been confirmed and the answer to the question "Do you read books online?", Where 33 percent opted for an affirmative response (an increase of three times compared to 2006. Year). In America, for example, according to a study from 2010. year, it was found that about 60 percent of children ages 9-17 years old interested in reading books on electronic devices ("kind" or "Ipod"), a third say they would read more for fun if more books were available in digital form.

I am pleased by the fact, that a survey done in Serbia in 2008. , indicates that about 60 percent of the youngest school children and likes to read books regularly taken from their school libraries. However, it is alarming that in this study, only 7 percent of high school students reported that their homes in the price of books and reading, all the while only 5 percent of the adult population has a membership in one of the library. Perhaps the reason for the propensity to just the new generation to read books from the Internet and through digital devices.

Which books are suitable for children, but have not

It is interesting to see a list of 100 most frequently contested books. In the first place there is a series of books about Harry Potter (author of DZ. K. Rowling), because the parents feel that they promote witchcraft, children learn the wrong things and are very dark. In second place is a series of books "Alice" (Phyllis Reynolds Najlor), insulting vocabulary and sexual content. Followed by "Chocolate War" (Robert Rudder), due to inadequate pessimistic view of the world, and vulgarity.

On the fourth found the book "The tango is a need of three" (Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell), which tells the story of a gay couple of penguins that raise an adopted child, and was challenged for promoting homosexuality. In fifth place is a cult book "Of Mice and Men" (John Steinbeck), unsuitable for children because of racism, religious attitudes and vulgarity.

It should be noted that this list is to find the titles: "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" (Mark Twain), "The Color Purple" (Alice Walker), "The Catcher in the Rye" (J. D. Salinger), who recognized in Croatia as well as reading in high school, "To Kill a Mockingbird" (Harper Lee) and "Brave New World" (Aldous Huxley).

Since the prohibition of reading these books affect their sales, or whether children are spending their resources on them? It is well known (and a number of studies confirm) that children in puberty tend to look for exactly what they are defending.

It is no wonder that the author Judy Blum (our audience known for his book, "God that l 'are there? It's me, Margaret"), which has three books on the banned list (and it ranked at 16, 43 and 87 place), sold over 65 million books and has numerous fan clubs, writes "Consumer".

Age determines the type of books

Children from one to two years like the most solid book (of thick cardboard), which may carry with them. Their favorite activities are the books of pictures and photos of children doing activities that are close to them, such as sleeping, playing, eating, and where there are only a few lines of text on each page.

Children from two to three years, preferring the soft cardboard books that are interesting and funny. The topics they are interested in the family, make friends, food, animals, vehicles. The text should be given to the rhyme or certain rhythm.

From the third to fifth year love books with stories about children who are similar to themselves, but the remote places and schools. At this age they are interested in books and learn where the letters and numbers. In addition, in all ages love these books that are in some ways surprising, for example, through a variety of sounds that are heard when turning pages, or books that are interactive.

Children from five years to school age children love coloring books and books that are in bright colors, with many illustrations. I continue to be topics of interest to family and everyday life, since to do so can easily recognize the main characters and connect with them. During this period, especially their interesting tale in pictures.

Children under six years of age you will buy the book to determine the parents (70 percent of all children's books purchased by women with secondary education and average income) and friends, and 75 percent of these purchases are done in traditional bookstores.

In the lower grades of primary school, due to the development of reading skills, they can offer a more comprehensive book (and a few hundred pages in the fourth grade), relating to the adventure, fantasy and mystery. In the upper grades of elementary school children are offered for books with lots of wide range of topics, you will choose depends on the already constructed their preferences.

I still have their adventures one of the favorite topics, and is currently the most widely read books in the world in this age segment is definitely a series of Harry Potter. Their literary tastes are determined mothers, fathers and teachers (just above a row), and often themselves faced with titles that they like and buy them - 80 percent of book purchases are unplanned, and 40 percent of them are completely impulsive.

Children from eight years to begin to lose interest in reading and interest in the years to even more declines.While more than half of children read for fun, ages 6-8 years, that percentage falls to 25 percent among youth ages 15-17 years.
