Daniel Pennac: How not to discourage a child's love of reading

The novels of Daniel Pinnaka are read in one breath. His books have been translated into 26 languages, including Russian, and was awarded a large number of literary awards in different countries.

In his esse "Like a novel" (fr:Comme un roman, 1992) Pennak formulated the principles of an effective approach to literature, which was called the "Declaration of the rights of the reader".

It is particularly important to apply these rules in relation to children when the love of reading is being formed and so easy to discourage this wonderful lesson, such difficult and such fun.





1. The right not to read

Do not force your child to read by force. Think of ways to interest him in reading.

2. The right time to jump

The child has the right to flip through the boring pages (for example, descriptions of nature) and read something interesting.

3. The right not to read

Never force your child to read to the end is not an interesting book. In this world of so much fun, your child will definitely find something he'll love!

4. The right to read

Let reread a favorite book as many times as the child wants.

5. The right to read what came

At first glance, this rule seems questionable, but it is important. In the school world, every child has enough bans, so reading it should have full and unconditional right to choose a book to read. Let him do it, the deletion of the selection fields is a dangerous book.

6. The right to bovarism (enthusiastic and sublime attitude to the reading, unwillingness to see the line between fantasy and reality)

Never ridicule the ideals of adolescents, be tolerant, even if you know that the favorite character of your child is far from real life.

7. The right to read anywhere

Do not forbid your child to read in bed, on the subway or bus, even for food. If the child takes a book, it's the best you could achieve: he fell in love with reading!





8. The right to read out loud

Sometimes the child may want to read aloud especially liked him in the book. Hear him out, give him time. Reading aloud is helpful: it develops diction, auditory and visual memory. But most importantly, it means that the child wants to share with you the joy of reading. Appreciate it!

9. Right from "sticking" in the book ("to extract from the shelf the first book to open it at any page and stuck for a moment because we have only this moment is")

Never forbid it! Even read two pages expand the horizons. If the reader fell into the hands of the book to which he is "not Mature enough", it also has the benefit of: the book will definitely remain in the memory, and the child will remember it at the right time.

10. The right to remain silent about what they read

Normally, if the child does not want to discuss with you read. Most likely, this means that now he is not ready, but not necessarily equivalent to what the reader is left indifferent to the book. Do not pull out the child's information, simply wait.

These simple rules Punnaka addressed to parents reading to children, but almost all of them fit and parents of preschoolers.





What can you advise else?

  • Read aloud for as long as possible, even if the child has already learned to read independently. It is a priceless time that you devote only to a child. Subsequently, it may become a tradition of family reading and you will be able to read aloud with the whole family.

  • Read before going to sleep. Reading is the best way to wind down before bedtime. Make it a ritual!

  • Giving the gift of books. Give them and their own and other children. Remember the old adage: "Book — the best gift"

  • Go with your child to bookstores, libraries, book exhibitions. Together consider and choose books.

  • When choosing books use the child's interest. In a moment of fascination with pirates, choose books about pirates, when interest in horses, find books about horses.

  • Never make reading a punishment! Don't read and don't take books as a penalty.

  • Take books with you when going to the doctor, travel, vacation.

  • Always answer while reading the children's questions. Don't freeze and don't save answers for later!

  • And finally, most importantly: see for yourself, as often as possible! The child needs to see you with a book, no matter what electronic or paper. A love of reading is inherited.published
