Please read to me, mummy, daddy!

When: Everyday, usually at bedtime.
Where: In a comfortable quiet place.

Why:

- To develop a love for reading.
- To improve the children's language abilities.
- To increase family harmony.

How:
- Parents start reading daily to each child from the age of 18 months - Let the child comment, question or discuss the story or related topics.
- Important note: this is not teaching the child to read.

Results:
Children who are read aloud everyday behave better and more successful in school


计划:父母亲每天对自己的子女朗读10分钟
时间每天晚上临睡前
地点舒适幽静的地方
目的
- 培养儿童对阅读的热爱。
- 提高他们的语文能力。
- 增进家庭的融洽。

程序
- 在子女满十八个月后,父母亲即开始每天对他们朗读。
- 让孩子对故事或相关的课题提出意见和问题,或进行讨论。

效果:每天聆听朗读的儿童在品行上显得更为优良,并且在学校课业和活动上表现得更为出色。
