The sooner you read it, the better.

The earth keeps on spinning and it is already the end of June and next week will be July. July is the busiest month in the Nursery, with all the assessment reviews, graduation ceremonies and presentations, so I think there is not enough time to think about it.

On Thursday, we had a review of the Parent-Child Shared Reading, and in order to find out how effective the shared reading was this semester, the principal took charge of the review, and the children took the shared reading record books and went through the review in a class.

Who reads books and tells stories with you? ～Mom, Dad, and Mom" "Who drew the pictures?" Some of the drawings look overage, but the child insists that he drew the picture himself, and finally says that his mother drew the picture and he colored it.

Then, the principal said, "After listening to so many stories, which one is your favorite? The principal wanted to hear it so much, could you tell me your favorite story? The Fifi children all came prepared and answered without thinking about it: The Wacky Flying Dragon, Brave's New Car, Adventures in Toyland, Who Stole My Strawberries, Bom and Carol's Journey to the Sky... and they were able to tell the story to the principal without any panic, which was great! The children not only gained a lot of knowledge and stories, but also seized the opportunity of expression training.

The earlier you start reading, the more you will realize the joys of reading.

It is not an innate ability, it needs to be guided by "people", and it needs to be learned slowly. The earlier you have access to reading and the more opportunities you have to access reading, the earlier the ability will be formed. In the past, the way to promote shared reading was to set 40 books per semester on Tuesdays and Fridays.

In the past three years, the program has stopped focusing on quantity and has been changed to once a week on Fridays, focusing on quality rather than quantity, in the hope that parents can take advantage of weekends and holidays to accompany their children to establish a reading habit. In fact, children are also the mirror of adults, if they never read, or lack of reading experience in adults, it is difficult to help children into the reading environment.

However, habits can be established and it is never too late to start. In fact, the time for parent-child reading is very short. After elementary school, the opportunity to read extracurricular books will diminish, and when children grow up, they may not like to read with their parents, or their time will be taken up by other talents and parenting time, or they may prefer to watch TV and play with their cell phones.

Don't miss the time when parents need to be with your child during the pre-school years when he or she is highly malleable, so make the most of it and enjoy the time of parent-child reading, which will be one of the best memories of your child's childhood.

Wishing peace and joy to your family
