Issues that parents and children should pay attention to when reading

1. Prepare lessons in advance . Before reading to children, parents should read carefully first and feel the joy that the text and pictures bring to you. Only in this way can you bring the joy of reading to your children. Parents can even rehearse how to read it more interestingly. Parents should realize that reading to babies is not something that can be dealt with carelessly and needs to be taken seriously.

2. Read aloud with emotion. When reading aloud to children, do not speak too fast. It is best to change your voice to play the role and make your expressions as exaggerated as possible. Lowering your voice and slowing down during crucial moments or suspenseful situations can help your child focus.

3. You can read while playing. For younger children or children who cannot sit still, parents can simply let their children play while the teacher reads to them. You can also let your children flip it over and give some guidance when necessary. When you first start reading, there is no need to read it page by page in order, or even to read the entire book. Books are just toys for younger children. What parents need to do is to help their children discover the joy of books.

4. Set a fixed reading time. Set aside a regular time to have quality reading time with your child and try to make it a habit. There is no need to force a certain duration for each reading session. Reading a picture book attentively and enthusiastically for 10 minutes can also leave a deep impression on children.
