我们能做些什么来改善孩子的阅读习惯呢?

My kids were not interested in reading. It was a fight every time we tried to get them to do it They preferred to have us read to them. They were just not interested.
Then, my son reached 3rd grade and his teacher said to me. “Don’t worry about what he reads, just get him to read something.”
What I knew about was son was that he was a budding comedian. He was already doing schtick (sp?) in school and for our family. I bought him a subscxtion to MAD magazine. This was my favorite when I was a kid and he was pretty much a chip off the old block. He LOVED it! He read every issue from cover to cover. Then, I bought him Walter the Farting Dog and the Captain Underpants series. Same thing. He ate them up like a box of Krispy Kremes.
Within months, he began reading other books. The ones his teacher had around the classroom. His reading level was at 5th grade halfway through the school year.
One day I came home from work to find him lying on the living room floor with a book in each hand, flipping through the pages and moving his head back and forth. He has never stopped and was admitted to UCLA with his highest SAT score in reading. His sister came up right behind him in the same way. She loved scary, spooky stories. We started out with the Goosebumps. Then the Harry Potter series, followed by Twilight. She, too is in college and was systemically reading at 1–2 grade levels above her age.
I was going about it all wrong. I thought they had to read the classics. And, a different one every night. In reality it was just the repetition of reading. Seeing words on the page over and over until they became familiar. The by- product of reading like this is good writing. The more you see words manipulated, the better you become at building a sizeable vocabulary and expressing yourself on the page.
So, big thank you to my kids’ third grade teacher Mrs. Haslet!

我的孩子们对阅读不感兴趣。每当我们试图让他们阅读，都会爆发一次争吵。他们更喜欢我们给他们读书，他们就是对自己读书不感兴趣。
后来，我儿子上三年级了，他的老师对我说。“别担心他读去什么，只要他读就行了。”
我所知道的是儿子开始喜欢喜剧演员。他已经开始在学校和我们家表演魔术了。我给他买了一份《MAD》杂志。这是我小时候最喜欢的，他和我简直就是一个模子刻出来的。他爱它!他把每期杂志从头到尾读了一遍。然后，我给他买了《Walter the Farting Dog 》和《Captain Underpants》系列。同样的，他就像把甜甜圈吃了个精光一样去阅读它们。
几个月后，他开始阅读其他书籍—他的老师在教室里放的那些，他的阅读水平是在五年级学年中等水平。
某天，我下班回家，发现他躺在客厅的地板上，双手各拿一本书，并翻阅着，还来回移动着脑袋。他从未停止阅读，他凭借在SAT（高中升大学的测试）中阅读方面的最好成绩被加州大学洛杉矶分校录取。他的妹妹也以同样的方式跟在他后面。她喜欢恐怖类故事。我们从鸡皮疙瘩开始，然后是《哈利波特》系列，接着是《暮光之城》。她如今也在上大学，她的系统阅读能力是比她的年纪而已要高了1到2级的。
我完全搞错了，我以为他们得读经典。而且每天晚上换一种。实际上，就是重复阅读就好，一次又一次地看到页面上的单词，直到它们变得熟悉为止。这样阅读的好处是有不错的写作能力。你看到的单词越多，你建立的词汇哭越大，就越有能力去表达自己。
所以，非常感谢我孩子们的三年级老师哈斯莱特夫人！

It is disturbing to me that so many so-called experts in the field of early education and literacy do not understand that the science of reading should be taught to teachers so that they can apply it to teaching their students to read.
And, to help any child to read, including a struggling reader, parents can also learn how to teach reading.
By about 8 years old or the third grade, struggling readers are already falling behind their classmates because they cannot access a curriculum which is available to students by reading or accessing text with fluency and comprehension.

让我感到烦恼是，在早期教育和识字领域，这么多所谓的专家不明白，科学的阅读方法应该先教给教师，以便他们能够教会学生如何阅读。
此外，为了帮助孩子阅读，也为了帮助受阅读能力困扰的人，家长也可以去学习如何教授阅读。
到了大约8岁或三年级时，苦受阅读能力困扰的人的阅读能力已经落后于他们的同学，因为他们无法获得课程里面的知识，要知道课程是需要学生有能力去流利且有理解能力的阅读和吸收其知识。

Kids who don’t like to read are probably struggling as readers.
The science of reading includes direct instruction to teach students to distinguish the sounds of our language.
The best approach to teaching reading which I have found is Orton-Gillingham, and the textbook teaching this approach is about $65 new, and well worth its hefty price tag:
I have taught countless hundreds (thousands?!) of people to read with fluency and comprehension using the science of reading — I’ve taught more children than adults. Almost all were struggling as readers when we began.
In the course of a year, working together for about two hours daily four days a week, most students significantly improve their fluency, rate of reading, and their reading comprehension.
For those who prefer a written curriculum so parents can easily homeschool their children and teach them to read without writing a curriculum based on the O-G textbook — and which uses the science of reading and which is of course Orton-Gillingham-based

不喜欢阅读的孩子们很可能为能成为会阅读的人而努力。
阅读科学包括直接指导学生辨别我们语言的发音。
我发现的最好的阅读教学方法是奥尔顿·吉林厄姆（Orton Gillingham）的方法，教这种方法的教科书，新的大约是65美元，它值得如此高价：
我已经教过无数的人使用科学的阅读方式去流利且有理解能力的方式去阅读。我教过的孩子比大人多，我们刚开始阅读的时候，几乎所有人都为成为会阅读的人而困扰。
在一年的时间里，每周四天，每天一起花大约两个小时，大多数学生在阅读时的流利度、阅读速度和阅读理解能力方面显著提高。
对于那些喜欢书面课程的人来说，家长可以轻松地在家教育他们的孩子，教他们阅读，而无需编写基于O-G教科书的课程—该教科书使用了阅读科学，当然是基于奥尔顿·吉林厄姆（Orton Gillingham）的课程基础上的。

The parents who follow me on Twitter, and some on Quora, have experienced an inability of too many public school teachers to teach reading — because they were not taught the science of reading; and because they are given “whole language” or other nonsensical curriculum peddled by educational publishing companies and purchased by school districts. Teachers are often unwittingly forced to use curriculum that isn’t adequate to teach all students to read (because it isn’t based on the science of reading).
There are thousands or millions of parents right now who are extremely angry that their children aren’t learning to read, are struggling, and that school staff is kind and polite and placating, but are not adequately teaching literacy to their children.
Demand that all teachers be credentialed in the science of reading. It should be a requirement to be taught and then tested in the science of reading before a teacher graduates from a teaching program at any college or university.

在Twitter上关注我的家长，以及在Quora上关注我的家长，经历了太多公立学校教师无法教授阅读的经历——因为他们没有被教授阅读的科学；因为他们被教育出版公司兜售并由学区购买的“全语言”或其他无意义的课程。教师经常在无意中被迫使用不能同时满足教所有学生阅读的课程（因为它不是基于阅读科学）。
如今无数家长对此非常愤怒，因为他们的孩子没有学习如何阅读，正在努力学习，学校工作人员善良、礼貌、平和，但没有充分地向他们的孩子传授识字知识。
要求所有的老师都有阅读科学的证书。任何学院或大学的教师在开启教学项目之前，都应该先学习阅读科学方面的能力和经过测试才行。

By reading the Gillingham Manual, you’ll be best able to support your child’s learning needs. Note that the science of reading makes all kids learn better — and is not used exclusively for struggling readers. I actually used it to teach a very motivated and bright 3-year -old to read at a second grade level in three months.
Be patient, enjoy the time you spend teaching, enjoy your child’s learning process, always be enthusiastic, read adult books silently to yourself, as well as children’s books to children at home. Sit together in a cozy chair. Take out books from the library which you can read aloud and which are high interest books above your child’s reading level.
Expanding a child’s vocabulary, modeling the joy of reading, and the sounds of your happy voice as you ask the child what is happening at various parts of the story go very far in motivating a child to want to read.

通过阅读吉林厄姆手册，你将能够最好地满足孩子的学习需求。请注意，阅读科学能让所有的孩子学得更好，而且它并不是专门用于阅读困难的读者。事实上，我用它在三个月内教会一个非常积极、聪明的三岁孩子并令他拥有二年级的阅读水平。
耐心一点，享受你花在教学上的时间，享受孩子的学习过程，总是充满热情，自己也不断阅读成人书籍地同时为家里的孩子阅读儿童书籍—一起坐在舒适的椅子上。从图书馆里借出你能大声朗读的书，这些书超越你孩子阅读水平但有很感兴趣的书。
扩大孩子的词汇量，培养阅读的乐趣，当你问孩子故事的各个部分发生了什么时，你快乐的声音会极大地激发孩子的阅读欲望。

The rest? Reading is a series of skills to be taught with direct instruction in an organized, progressive, multisensory and repetitive manner (repeating so that there is automaticity in recognizing sounds as being embodied in graphemes, the graphic depiction of sound using text).
Acquiring literacy is a process of constantly adding and improving skills. It takes time, application, and a research-validated process (science).
You can do this. A child will love you forever as their reading teacher because you make it possible for them to learn all kinds of new and exciting ideas, through literacy.

其余的呢？阅读是一系列的技能，需要以有组织、循序渐进、多感觉和重复的方式进行直接指导（重复，可以自动识别字母中包含的声音，即使用文本对声音进行图形描述）。
识字是一个不断增加和提高技能的过程。这需要时间、应用和经过研究验证的过程（科学）。
你可以做到的，作为他们的阅读能力方面的老师，孩子们会永远爱你，因为你让他们有可能通过识字来学习各种新的、令人兴奋的想法。

As a parent how I motivate my child to maintain a regular reading habit is by reading along with them. I pick a book of my choice while I make them pick theirs and we spend atleast half an hour reading something apart from their school syllabus.
At first I made them read books that has online videos of the same. First I made then read it and then I made them watch the videos. It helped them to better connect with the stories.

作为一名家长，我通过与孩子们一起阅读来激励我的孩子保持一个有规律的阅读习惯。我让他们选他们想看的书的时候，选了我自己喜欢的一本书，我们至少花半个小时读一些他们学校大纲以外的东西。
起初，我让他们读的书中有同样内容的在线视频。我先看，然后读，再让他们看视频。

Initiate a 30 minute silent reading time in bed before sleep. This gives the kids an extra half hour awake, incentive to enjoy reading because “just one more page” is always an acceptable excuse to stay awake a little longer and finding them sneaking some extra reading time with a torch under the covers isn’t punished sneaking an iPad or phone is but met with a smile and questions about the book they’re reading which gives them more conversation and time with you.

睡前在床上默读30分钟。这让孩子们多睡半小时，喜欢阅读的动机是因为“再多看一页”总是一个可以接受的借口，如果你发现他们拿着手电筒，藏在被子里偷偷摸摸地阅读，你就不会惩罚他们，你也不会惩罚他们偷拿iPad或手机，你只会微笑着回答他们正在阅读的书的问题，这样他们和你就有更多的对话以及更多时间和你在一起了。

There is no shortcut to lure kids into reading books it takes time and is a habit that can be cultivated only with time.However,it is well known that one should start at early ages.Board books with bright colours and felt pages can attract infants and toddlers.Keeping reading stories to kids even when you feel that they don’t understand a thing.You need not read a new book each day.Haven’t you noticed how they ask you to repeat a rhyme over and over?They rarely get bored of the same story.Likewise,if you keep reading the same book to them,they’ll learn the whole story and finish the sentences for you.Someday,they might even surprise you by reading it all by themselves.You can also try surprising them by spinning out a different story from an old book!
Don’t be disheartened if your child doesn’t show any liking for books.Keep getting new books for the;books that are of their interest.If he likes animals,get them books of animals.If she like aeroplanes,get her books about different kind of aeroplanes!Leave the books lying around just like toys.Someday they’ll definitely pick it up at least to see the pictures.
Most importantly,remember that you can’t pass on something that you don’t have.Make sure YOU read and that your child finds you immersed in a book (at least occasionally!).That’ll definitely inspire them to make friends with books.

没有捷径可以诱使孩子们读书—这需要时间，而且是一种只有依靠时间才能养成的习惯。然而，众所周知，一个人应该从小开始阅读。色彩鲜艳的纸板书和毛毡纸可以吸引婴幼儿。持续给孩子们读故事，即使你觉得他们什么都不懂。不必每天读一本新书。你没注意到他们让你一遍又一遍地重复押韵吗？他们很少对同一个故事感到厌倦。同样地，如果你持续给他们读同一本书，他们会了解整个故事，帮你把句子说完。有一天，他们甚至可能会独自阅读，并让你大吃一惊。你也可以尝试从一本多了多遍的书中派生出一个不同的故事，给他们一个惊喜！
如果你的孩子没有表现出任何对书的喜爱，不要灰心。继续给他们买让他们感兴趣的书，如果他喜欢动物，给他们买动物类书籍。如果她喜欢飞机，那就给她买些介绍各种飞机的书吧！把书像玩具一样放在那里。总有一天，他们会拿起它—至少是为了看照片。
最重要的是，记住你若自己都不能沉浸在书中就要求他做到。确保你自己阅读，并且让你的孩子发现你沉浸在一本书中（至少偶尔！）。这肯定会激励他们与书交朋友。

You shouldn't think you have to convince your children. Instead try to instill a love of books. There are ways you can try to accomplish this.
Set aside an hour or so at bedtime and read to your kids every night. Look for subjects that interest them. Establish a routine and stick to it.
Lead by example. Let them see you reading. Read a variety of types of print materials.
Take your children to your public library and allow them to explore. Enroll them in story where they will observe other children engaged in reading.
Let them choose what they want to read.
If you can afford it, purchase books for your children. Owning the book may encourage them to read.
Don't give up on trying to interest your children in reading. Once you spark their interest it will lead to a lifetime of learning.

你不应该认为你必须说服你的孩子。相反，试着灌输对书籍的热爱，你可以尝试用一些方法来实现这个目标。
在睡前留出一个小时左右，每晚给孩子们朗读。寻找他们感兴趣的主题。建立规律并坚持下去。
以身作则。让他们看到你在读书。阅读各种类型的印刷材料。
带你的孩子去公共图书馆，让他们去探索。让他们看故事，在那里他们将观察其他参与阅读的孩子。
让他们选择他们想读的内容。
如果你负担得起，给你的孩子买书。拥有书可能会鼓励他们阅读。
不要放弃让你的孩子对阅读感兴趣。一旦你激发了他们的兴趣，他们就会终身学习。

When I was a kid, my Mum and Dad had this wish that I read. Whenever my Dad would go out of town for his professional commitments, he would buy me comic books, fables and other fairy tales. They had pretty covers, enough to attract a kid like me.
I did explore those attractive looking books for few days but soon they lost the charm for me. In the end, I didn't read them. (I feel guilty to this day because there are children you aren't even given the opportunity. I had one and I didn't make good use of it. :/) They kept trying for years but all in vain. Finally they stopped trying. Years went by and suddenly, out of the blue, I developed an interest in reading.
I started reading and continued so because I encountered some really interesting novels. Or maybe they seemed interesting because now I loved reading. Anyways so I would even skip my night sleep so I could finish my novel quickly. The more I read, the more I developed the liking for it. And to this day, I love reading!
I mean at least what I believe, you can't make someone do something. Be it reading, writing, painting, sketching,studying, so on and so forth. It just comes from within. Having said that, I wouldn't say you shouldn't make the effort. Maybe I developed a liking for it because sub-consciously I always knew that my parents would love it if I will start reading books one day.

当我还是个孩子的时候，我的父母希望我读书。每当我爸爸外出工作时，他都会给我买漫画书、寓言和其他童话故事。它们有漂亮的封面并足以吸引像我这样的孩子。
我确实花了几天时间研究那些好看的书，但很快，它们就失去了对我的吸引力。最后，我没有读它们。（我至今仍感到内疚，因为有些孩子甚至没有机会读它们。我在孩子时没有好好利用它。）他们多年来一直在努力让我阅读，但都没有成功。最后他们不再尝试这个想法。几年过去了，我突然对阅读产生了兴趣。
我开始阅读并持续阅读，因为我遇到了一些非常有趣的小说。或者它们看起来很有趣，我现在喜欢阅读。总之，我甚至可以放弃我的夜间睡眠时间，这样我就可以快速阅读完小说。我读得越多，就越喜欢它。直到今天，我仍然热爱阅读！
我的意思是，至少我相信，你不能强迫别人做某事。无论是阅读、写作、绘画、素描、学习等等。它来自内心。话虽如此，我不会说你不应该这么做。也许是我对阅读产生了一种喜爱，因为我潜意识里一直知道，如果有一天我开始读书，我的父母会喜欢我这个行为的。

I was taking my baby to Story Time at the library when she was two months old.
We went to story time every week until school interfered. Additionally, every night, I read to her before bed.
Now she is six. She loves reading books.
I was bragging on her at the library and the librarian responded. “Of course she reads well. She went to Story Time every week.”
People have the idea that babies should be treated differently than older people. This is true to a certain extent as everyone needs encouragement and babies, in particular, need positive encouragement.
The routines you start as a baby continue for life.

当我的孩子两个月大的时候，我带她去图书馆给他讲故事。
我们每周都去读故事，直到学校干预为止。此外，每天晚上睡觉前我都给她朗读。
现在她六岁了，她喜欢读书。
我在图书馆夸她的时候，图书管理员回应了我。“她当然读得很好。她每周都有故事时间。”
人们认为应该区别对待婴儿和年长的然。这在一定程度上是正确的，因为每个人都需要鼓励，尤其是婴儿，需要积极的鼓励。
你从小就开始的习惯会持续一生。

Here are some ways you can inculcate a reading habit within your kids:

这里有一些方法可以让你的孩子养成阅读习惯:

Set up a reading nook! Having an area in the house to focus in will help create an environment for your child to enjoy their books in. Set up a corner in their bedroom or somewhere else in the house with good lighting, no technology, minimal noise, and books nearby!
Find books on topics they like. If your child likes fantasy or science fiction, buy books with those themes!
Set up a reading time, perhaps between dinner and bedtime. Having a period where your child reads every day helps build the habit and gets them into “reading mode”.
Read together! Whether you want to read out loud to your child or simply sit together while reading different books, reading together can help your child maintain focus.
Remove tech when reading. Try to minimize the number of distractions around your child.
Have your child read to you. When they read out loud, it can help them comprehend their stories better. Reading out loud also makes reading into an activity to bond over. Ask your child questions while they read out loud to you to make sure they understand the themes of their stories.
Go to the bookstore or library with your child. Make an event out of it! This can get them excited about reading since they get to make their own decisions on what they read.

设置一个阅读角！在家里有一个可以集中注意力的区域，将有助于为你的孩子创造一个读书的环境。在他们的卧室或房子的其他地方设立一个角落，光线好，没有科技产品，噪音小，附近有书！
找到关于他们喜欢的主题的书。如果你的孩子喜欢幻想或科幻小说，那就买那些主题的书吧！
设定一个阅读时间，也许在晚餐和睡觉之间。让孩子每天阅读有助于养成习惯，让他们进入“阅读模式”。
一起读！无论你是想大声朗读给孩子听，还是只是坐在一起读不同的书，一起阅读都能帮助孩子保持注意力。
阅读时放弃科技产品，尽量减少孩子遭受干扰。
让你的孩子念给你听。当他们大声朗读时，它可以帮助他们更好地理解故事。大声朗读也会使阅读成为一种可以让人团结的活动。在孩子大声朗读给你听的时候问他们问题，确保他们理解故事的主题。
带着孩子去书店或图书馆。把它当成一件大事来做！这可以让他们对阅读感到兴奋，因为他们可以对阅读内容做出自己的决定。

How do I make children read?
I read to my children when they were babies .
Soon they wanted to read along with me as I read them the story. They loved this method of focusing on them in the books. Making it easier for them to love to read and enjoy books that I read to them.
Please try this method and you’ll see your child or children become focused on paying more attention if you “add their names” to the storyline of the book. Please feel free to use this technique!

我如何让孩子们阅读的？
当我的孩子还是婴儿时，我给他们读书。
很快，当我给他们读故事时，他们想和我一起读。他们喜欢这种把注意力集中在书本上的方法。让他们更容易喜欢阅读和享受我读给他们听。
请尝试这种方法，如果你在书中的故事情节中“加上他们的名字”，你会看到你的孩子或孩子变得更加专注。请多使用这个技巧！

I started reading to my kids at a very young age. When they were around a year old and beginning to use words I sat them on my lap and read to them. So I didn't read the actual story but I pointed to the pictures and got them to say what they saw in the picture.
Once they were old enough to speak in actual sentences I read them books. Doctor Seuss "Hop on Pop" was an early favorite. They knew it by heart and were able to "read" it to me. This persuaded them that they could read. So I let them read it to me. Bedtime story is a very important ritual for little kids and once they begin to read, they can read you some of the bedtime story.
When they were older, I made sure that they had a lot of books available for them to read, and after going to bed, they were allowed to read in bed for half an hour before going to sleep. We also limited television and computer time so they were encouraged to read instead.

我很小的时候就开始给孩子们读书。当他们一岁左右开始说单个单词时，我把他们放在腿上读给他们听。所以我不是读真实的故事，但我指着照片，让他们说出他们在照片中看到的东西。
一旦他们长大了，能运用实际的句子说话，我就给他们读书。Doctor Seuss的绘本《在爸爸身上蹦来跳去》是小孩子最喜爱。他们把它牢记在心，能够“读”给我听。这使他们相信他们能阅读。所以我让他们读给我听。睡前故事对小孩子来说是一个非常重要的仪式，一旦他们开始阅读，他们就可以给你读一些睡前故事。
当他们长大后，我确保他们有很多书可以读，他们在睡觉前可以在床上读半个小时。我们还限制了看电视和玩电脑的时间，因此鼓励他们阅读。

There three ways to learn to read:
practice.
more practice.
and, even more practice.
I recommend all three in abundance. Also, for those who want to write really well, then read very well

学习阅读有三种方法：
实践
多练习。
还有更多的练习。
我推荐这三种方式，此外，对于那些想具有不错写作能力的人来说，那么就要更会阅读。
