How parents can help children with reading skills
Making sure that your children read well can help them perform better in school and increase their confidence in their ability to communicate well. The following ways can be very helpful.
Have your children read to you.
Have your children choose their favorite book and sit down to read with you each evening. It doesn't matter whether that starts after dinner or around the time your children go to sleep.
Stock (储备) your house with reading materials.
It is reported that children who have different kinds of books and magazines to choose from at home actually score higher on standardized tests.
Researchers suggest having your children read signs on the road, menus, game directions, movie listings and other daily things. This will help your children try to understand the importance and applicability (适用性) of being able to read well.
Pay attention to reading problems.
See how well your children can sound out words, understand what they have read and use reading context (上下文) to understand the meaning of new words. For example, you can take them to reading learning centers.
Use other reading tools.
Take games as an example, try to use them as much as you can, since they can make children look forward to and enjoy the process (过程) of improving their reading ability.
A. Read wherever it is possible.
B. Take your children to a library.
C. Make reading an important part of each day.
D. Keep some reading materials available in your house.
E. Games, textbooks and books on tape are good choices.
F. If your children have difficulty reading, get them some help.
G. You should watch your children's progress with their reading skills.
A strong memory depends on the health and vitality（活力）of your brain. They say that you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but when it comes to the brain, scientists have discovered that this old saying simply isn't true. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.
Give your brain a workout. Memory, like muscular strength, requires you to “use it or lose it”. The more you work out your brain, the better you'll be able to process and remember information.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}
Don't skip the physical exercise. While mental exercise is important for brain health, that doesn't mean you never need to break a sweat. Physical exercise helps your brain stay sharp. It increases oxygen to your brain and reduces the risk for disorders that lead to memory loss.
Get enough sleep. There is a big difference between the amount of sleep you can get by on and the amount you need to function at your best. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}.
Keep stress in check. Stress is one of the brain's worst enemies. Over time, stress destroys brain cells. Studies have also linked stress to memory loss.
Have a laugh. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} That holds true for the brain and the memory, as well as the body. Unlike emotional responses, which are limited to specific areas of the brain, laughter engages multiple regions across the whole brain.
{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Just as the body needs fuel, so does the brain. You probably already know that a diet based on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, “healthy” fats and lean protein will provide lots of health benefits, but such a diet can also improve memory. For brain health, though, it's not just what you eat—it's also what you don't eat.
A. Eat a brain-boosting diet. B. Play games with memory. C. Laughter is the best medicine. D. But oversleeping is not good for your brain. E. Even skipping a few hours makes a difference! F. You have to shake things up from time to time! G. The human brain has an astonishing ability to adapt and change. |
