No, but! We want you they read just a little? Read, read, READ
! A 15 minutes in the morning, 15 minutes in the afternoon, an hour to the Bible, reading circles, reading test, reading a variety of texts, literary appreciation, and more! We want all the time they read. Even parents want: they buy books at Christmas, Easter, birthdays, they complain endlessly that their child is not reading enough, "so that i can
How to read y'en plusses? And then we pedagogical side, we add: "
You know reading, gna-gna-gna
... The more you read, the better you write, gna-gna-gna ...
Reading difficulties occur in solving problems, gna-gna-gna ... Sometimes , the teachers, we really love to hear themselves talk too!
No wonder when some of our students no longer want anything to read. They are fed up: E-USOC-RES! So I sympathize!
First, it is essential to distinguish between read and enjoy reading. Two very different things. It can read and do not like to read. As proof that our libraries are far from millionaires. One can also enjoy reading without knowing how to read, and remember how many children you have seen a volume scan in for hours watching the pictures, read other - Stuffed under his arm and hand tale - a story respecting any text, others decoding the book upside down, seriously like little popes.
Let's face it: even if it is considered sacrilege in our society right-minded to say, love reading is not essential to survival. While not read ... Surely you can live while being illiterate, but we hear you going to drool in certain situations and others where you live will not feel the best of your self-esteem. Talk to Jacques Demers!
is why it is important to make this distinction in education and teaching, both at home and at school. Otherwise, always typing the same nail ... If a child is like wood, fine. But often we are dealing with more concrete. And then the nail is twisted.
So, how to stimulate the parallel need to read
and want to read? Being a great magnet of the literature and a big fan of children's literature is always a heart-breaking to have a student or students who do not read. I try as much as possible to respect this choice and then guide me on the need to read, while seeking ways to stimulate interest in reading during the journey. My tips are not infallible, but if they can give you a boost for you and your child or student, then it will be not bad, right?
The need to read (or read to meet their needs, if you prefer, because you can have a "need" to read when one has the "taste" to read ...) passes First and foremost, by contact with the paper. So the child realizes how reading is essential in life, it must be put in concrete situations.
At home, the trails are numerous. Go through a manual is an excellent example even if at first you'll have to accept that your child lives frustration (not easy for the parent
papoute !). You offer a new board game for your child? Put him in charge to read, understand and explain the regulations. Your little girl wants to help you in a recipe? His task will read you the ingredients and steps. Your toddler wants to do a DIY he saw in a book? He read the list of equipment and accompany it in the reading stage. In each of these situations, you can punctuate "I did not understand that last one ... can you explain it to me?" The shopping list is also a good way. Once at the supermarket, put your child in charge of some articles. Give him, in writing, a small list where you'll detailed articles: the 15% cream for cooking brand XYZ (250 ml), a box of crackers of the brand XYZ, but no trans fat, a box flaked light tuna in water, etc.. And presto! You suffer from the hunting. You can stimulate him stating that he has exactly the requested items, they can choose an item of his choice to put in the basket. In general, it's quite pleasant.
Regarding teaching situations, prepare exercises based on real user guides, recipes or instructions for games. We can ask specific questions: how a player can exchange his money? what are the dry ingredients in this recipe? How do I schedule a recording on my VCR?
(Tiens! It would be good for my mother this ...) I give exercises of this kind in less twice a year and many students enjoy.
And the joy of reading? At home, go ahead slowly. If you buy three novels at once for your child, without nuance genres and more, your chances of success are slim. Try different genres: adventure, detective, science fiction, true story, etc.. If your child does not like, do not force to pursue and, especially, wait a while before offering another novel by a new style. You can also make a pact: read the first two chapters, and if you do not like, we'll try something else. Often, he will eventually read it all. You can also lead by example creating a "moment of reading, time of day (on weekends for example) where everyone says: dad, mom, brothers and sisters. This time should be as sacrosanct as piano lessons or soccer practice. Makes it fun and a little hot chocolate, choose a pillow for each child and bought specifically for this moment, and voila! Between that and getting up at 5:30 in the morning to go to the rink ...
For school, the same tricks apply. The King of genres, the pact of the chapters, are an example of betting. If you have room for a comfortable reading area and stimulating even better! I also suggest the book club, team, children read the same book and share once a week, while fulfilling their impressions of literary forms. Your school counselor should be able to find some information and documents on the subject, and your management should be fairly open-minded (
Cross your fingers! ) for a purchase of novels from this perspective. Make sure you have books of different genres and for different levels of readers. And do not be afraid to refuse a student a particular novel because it is a beginning reader. They are generally pretty honest to confess and admit it. It will only be liable then when you gradually become better player and he will attack more complex volumes.
In sum, as in need in the joy of reading, be patient. If there is to read, love to read is perhaps not very far. It is often a question of pace and time.
