让阅读变得更有趣的创意方法

Creative Ways to Make Reading Fun

随着网络科技的发展，我们越来越依赖网络的同时，孩子也越来越难找到完整的时间来阅读。但作为父母，真正高质量的陪伴，其实是陪孩子一起阅读。

阅读不应该局限于课堂上或者培训班上，父母陪着孩子一起阅读很有可能会是孩子在课堂外阅读的唯一时间。而且，培养阅读习惯和独立阅读的能力对孩子来说非常重要。

我们准备了一些令阅读变得更有趣的方法。这些方法都比较简单，有些需要几分钟，有些可能会花费长一点的时间；有的可以一个人完成，有的则需要整个家庭共同来完成。通过这些有趣轻松的方法，您很快就会发现，您的孩子越来越享受阅读的时光。

It is fair to say that with so much technology and online distractions it can be hard for children to find the time to read. This does not mean however, as parents you shouldn’t make reading with your child a priority.

Reading should not just be the preserve of the classroom or tuition sessions. Regular read-aloud or solo reading time is extremely important. If you think about it, the time you set aside for reading with your child may be the only time your child will read, or be exposed to reading, outside the classroom. 

Here are some fun suggestions to help make reading fun. Most of the activities are pretty simple. Some take just a few minutes; some could take a little longer. Some could involve another person and others could involve the entire family. By taking a playful, pressure-free approach, you'll soon ensure your child enjoys reading time. 

1.首音游戏

刚开始学习英语阅读的读者会非常认同字母是代表声音的符号，因此可以在英语阅读启蒙阶段进行强化声音的游戏。从所有孩子熟悉的词开始，如他们的名字和名字中的第一个音节，要求他们在房间里寻找与名字相同的首字母发音的物品，又或者一起朗读诗歌、童谣和押韵的书本，都是强化声音概念的好方法。如果想要让孩子更好地融入到书本的故事中，还可以用故事主角的姓名来做练习。这是我们在I CAN READ课堂中会惊醒的一项游戏，很受我们的学生欢迎。

✦ First Sound Game

Early readers are still coming to terms with the notion that letters are symbols that stand for sounds. To familiarize him with sounds, read poems, nursery rhymes, and rhyming books together A good way to reinforce the idea of sounds is to start with the most familiar word of all: your child's name and the first sound in their name. Ask them to find things around the house that start with the same first letter sound as their name. To incorporate into the story get them to do the same exercise with the main characters name. This is an activity we do in the I Can Read classroom and our students love it.

2.阅读前的预热

如果您的孩子不了解故事的内容，那么他们可能会失去对阅读的兴趣和热情。因此我们可以在开始读书之前，让孩子先看一下书本里的图片并向他们提出问题，如“你觉得这个故事讲的会是什么？”“你觉得接下来会发生什么事情？”等问题，通过图片让他们猜测故事的发展线索，通过问题引导他们预测故事会发生什么，以此来吸引他们即将发生的事情感到兴奋和激动。

✦ Pre-Game the Story

If your child doesn't comprehend what a story is about, they are likely to not be enthusiastic about reading time. Before starting the book ask your child to look at the pictures and ask questions to get them excited and interested about what's coming: "What do you think the story is going to be about?" "What do you think will happen?" Questions like these help them predict the story while the pictures offer them clues to what’s about to happen. 

3.随时随地学单词

对于阅读而言，最重要的是拥有广阔的词汇量。在阅读的过程中，如果遇到一个特别难的或者从来没见过的单词，您可以停下来问孩子知不知道单词的意思，让他们根据上下文来猜测单词的含义。当阅读完一个故事后，最好能让您的孩子学到两至三个新单词。而且可以随身带一个笔记本，把生词记录下来并把它加入到日常的对话中，每周还可以测试一下孩子是否真的掌握了新的单词。

✦ Pick Out Words

Building a broad vocabulary is essential for reading comprehension. Stop occasionally if you come across a particularly difficult or unusual word, ask your child what they think it means, have fun with potential meanings but make sure by the end of the story they have a take-away of at least two or three new words. If this is done weekly just think how quickly your little learner will acquire new vocabulary. Keep a notebook with the words for yourself so you can incorporate the new vocab in your daily conversation from time to time. 

通过这三个方法来学习阅读，您和您的孩子将会发现阅读的时光真的很快乐！

Happy Reading!
