Reading comprehension for kids is difficult. How to improve students’ reading ability has become one of the most troublesome topics for parents in the daily study in elementary school! When it comes to the improvement of reading ability, people naturally think of the answer: read more.

Of course, practice makes perfect is a well-known truth. Although there are old sayings: “Reading a book for a hundred times, its meaning will emerge”, “Reading an old book a hundred times, if you read it carefully, you will know yourself”, but given the heavy learning tasks of children, it is more appropriate to pursue the quality of reading .

Blindly piling up reading volume may not necessarily improve reading comprehension. Many students feel aggrieved, and they have read a lot of articles and learned a lot of “secret skills”, but their reading comprehension skills are always not improved.

In the face of such a situation, after usual practice, the following editor will talk about how to improve the reading comprehension for kids.

1. Interest is the best teacher

Interest refers to the emotion of liking or caring about something.

Psychology believes that it is the basic motivation for people to know something and engage in a certain activity, and it is manifested as people’s selective attitude and positive emotional response to a certain thing or a certain activity.

It can push children to seek new knowledge and broaden their horizons. Children who are interested in learning will be more active and active, and will have a happy and tense mood and a state of active will effort, thereby improving the efficiency and effectiveness of their own learning activities.

Therefore, before reading, parents can use the method of stimulating interest with suspicion to stimulate children’s interest in self-study.

So reading comprehension for kids, how? When children encounter doubts in the process of learning, parents make the best use of the situation to stimulate their desire and interest in self-study. Therefore, when guiding children to read texts, ask them to think while reading, especially to work hard on the word “thinking”, learn Set up doubts, clear up doubts.

Grasp the main questions of the text to ask questions, and then let the children read the text with the questions, try to figure out the general meaning of the text independently as much as possible, and grasp the context of the whole article.

2. Good reading habits lie in daily accumulation

Mr. Ye Shengtao once said: “If you read roughly and develop bad reading habits, it will become a ‘lifelong fruit’. It can be seen that if you develop good reading habits, you will benefit for life.

The so-called good reading habits include three meanings:

A. Develop the habit of reading every day

Persevere, accumulate knowledge over time, develop intelligence, cultivate ability, and cultivate temperament;

B.When reading, uphold a good reading attitude and correct reading method

In the process of reading, carefully search and look up dictionaries, make comments, reflect on problems, and recite excerpts after reading. Only by developing good reading habits can we learn something.

C.Break the rough cumulative pan-reading mode and strengthen personalized reading

Strengthen the sense of participation in reading, respect individual differences, and guide children to understand and appreciate articles to strengthen their perception of articles, maximize reading initiative, develop reading ability in personalized reading activities, and improve reading comprehension.

3. Strengthen the exercise of reading skills in the process of independent reading

In the process of reading, parents should try their best to only teach their children how to understand the text, and not arrange to replace their subjective consciousness. Let the children complete the reading independently. At this time, the editor summarizes some small methods for your reference:

1. Extensive reading of the full text improves reading speed

For the articles to be read, it is required to read the entire text within the specified time, and then answer the questions.

During the reading process, students in lower grades will inevitably encounter new words and difficult sentences, but due to time constraints, they are not allowed to look up the dictionary, and can only guess the meaning and meaning of new words and difficult sentences based on the context.

Through such training, students not only speed up their reading speed, but also greatly improve their ability to guess words and sentence sentences according to the context;

2. Answer questions quickly

After quickly scanning the reading materials, give some “yes” or “no” questions and ask for quick answers to deepen the impression and understanding of the articles read. The setting of these questions should be simple and easy to answer in order to build up their self-confidence and increase their interest in reading;

3. Insist on retelling the content of the article

Retelling the content of the article means that the students will tell the content of the article in their own words according to the order of the article after reading. After the students have finished reading quickly, I will ask the students to retell the main idea of the article within the specified time and encourage them to speak. Specifically, there are the following ways:

① Repeat in detail. That is, according to the original meaning of the article, it is comprehensively and carefully described;

② Brief retelling. That is to say, it is required to describe the main content of the article in a general and concise language.

4. Strengthen intensive reading training

Improving reading skills doesn’t happen overnight. Many students reported that after a lot of fast reading exercises, the reading speed has increased, but the comprehension ability has not improved much.

Why is this? In fact, it is difficult to improve reading comprehension only by fast reading. Language knowledge is the material basis of reading, and repeated reading comprehension is the only way to read.

For the texts that have been read, you should choose their representative articles and let the students read them intensively. They are not only required to understand the relationship between words and words, clauses and clauses in each sentence, but also to explain difficult sentences clearly.

Repeatedly scrutinize, understand its meaning deeply, and go deep into the language points and discourse structure inside the article. In addition, after the intensive reading, it is necessary to find out the topic sentence of the article, and tell the conception level of the article, the logical relationship of the context and the author’s point of view, so as to cultivate students’ ability of comprehensive analysis, induction and rationale;

5. Parents should guide patiently and not rush for success

After all, elementary school students have poor comprehension ability. Parents should explain clearly to children about difficult and confusing knowledge points, and don’t rush to get results and pass them by;

6. Pay attention to guiding children to repeat reading aloud

Reading aloud needs to be repeated, and the purpose of repeated reading aloud is to better cultivate the sense of language, so that children can better understand the meaning of the article.

Only repeated reading aloud can make children feel that the text they read is familiar and simple, which not only helps to understand the words deeply, but also makes children read more fluently.

4. Diversity of Choices for Extracurricular Reading

The content of reading should be in line with the child’s actual level, interests and hobbies. In today’s diverse and open information environment, there are many channels to obtain reading resources.

Actually, reading comprehension for kids is not a difficult thing; Try to read some beautiful Chinese and foreign literary masterpieces, so that children can feel the beauty of the situation and language created by the articles during self-reading. Charm!
