In
order to achieve in math, science, English, history, geography, and other
subjects, reading skills must be developed when the students are young.
Students cannot struggle with word recognition (识别)
when they should be reading quickly for understanding of a text.
Since
reading is very important to success in school, parents can and should play a
role in helping their children become interested in reading and in encouraging
their growth in reading skills.
Research
shows that children learn about reading before they enter school. In fact, they
learn in the best way—through observation. Young children, for example, see
people around them reading newspapers, books, maps, and signs.
Parents
can do a lot to cultivate an understanding of print by talking with
their preschoolers about signs in their environment and by letting their
children know they enjoy reading themselves. When reading to your preschooler,
you should run your index finger under the line of print. This process is
simple and helps children begin to notice words and that words have meaning. They
also develop habits of reading.
In
the early elementary years, from first through third grades, children continue
learning how to read. It is a complex process (过程),
difficult for some and easy for others. Care must be taken during these early
years not to put too much stress on the learningtoread process.
Reading
for pleasure and information develops reading interests and offers children the
chance to practise their reading skills in meaningful ways. Parents of
preschoolers should provide reading materials in the home that arouse curiosity
or extend their children's natural interest in the world around them.
By
encouraging reading in free time, parents take the most important step in
improving their children's reading development.
