Impressions
Information that makes a strong impression is remembered best. For example, if you read someone's biography, and you are amazed by some fact from the life of a famous person, then you will definitely remember it for a long time. The meaning of the technique is to enhance the impression for better memorization. Pay attention to all interesting, unusual facts, events, descriptions. It helps to strengthen the impression well - scrolling the scene in your head, you can even imagine yourself as the main character. This will help you remember what you have read better.

Associations
Associate what you read with something familiar and familiar. Dates are well remembered if they coincide with some significant numbers for you. Names can be tied to consonant words. It is easier to remember new things if you associate with something familiar - this rule always works.

Repetition
The more times you read the information you need, the better you remember it. The method is old, but effective. It is suitable for all kinds of information, from recipes to scientific texts. You don't have to read a book over and over again. It is enough to read the necessary passages again.

Family Readings
Get together with the whole family, choose a work that will definitely be interesting to the child, and read aloud. Don't force children to read aloud if they don't want to. Let them listen and discuss. Family readings will not only help keep the child interested in books, but will also improve the atmosphere in the home, strengthen the bond between children and parents.

We purchase an e-book
It seems that gadgets interfere with reading, but all means are good to achieve the goal. If you're worried about how to get an 8-year-old to read, try purchasing an e-book. Unlike a tablet, it will not have ads, games, or social networks. Nothing distracts from reading. You can take the reader with you when you leave home. Read in transport, in line. Use in places where there is no internet.

Freedom of choice and patience
Let your child choose what to read. He likes comics - let him read. I like encyclopedias - and great. Usually growing up, children begin to read fiction. Someone at 15 years old, someone at 20. There are, of course, critical cases, but it is unlikely that a child who grew up in a normal family will never read at all. The older your children are, the more they depend on the opinions of others. Sometimes the impetus for reading is a popular bestseller that everyone is talking about. And the teenager wants to be in the subject. If you can't get a child to read at the age of 9, it's not a tragedy, just wait.

We have selected several ways to help instill in children a love of books. The main thing to remember is that everything is very individual. What worked for one child may not work for another. Do you have your own proven way to get children interested in reading? Do you think it is necessary to force the child to read?

Parents example
If there are few books in the house, and parents spend all evenings in front of the TV or at the computer, then it will be quite difficult to get the child to read books. It is quite another matter when children see that mom and dad are reading, discussing what they have read.

Reading is not a duty, but a pleasure.
Never scold your child if he refuses to read. You want to interest him and teach him to read, and not turn him away from this activity. Don't haggle - now you will read 10 pages, and then you can play on the computer. With this approach, reading will be perceived as an uninteresting, boring occupation that needs to be dealt with as soon as possible. These are definitely not the best ways to motivate a child to read, the result will most likely be not at all what you expect.

At the most interesting point…
If the child does not like to read, but listens with pleasure when you read, then do not refuse, but interrupt at the most interesting place. Mom has a lot to do, but he can do it himself and find out how it all ended. So say: "That's it, I have no more time, if you want, read it yourself." In most cases, this is exactly what will happen.

Have a quiz
Agree with other mothers (friends, neighbors, classmates), for sure reading problems are not only you. Offer the children this kind of entertainment - choose one book, give a certain period of time to read, and then arrange a quiz (you can combine it, for example, with a birthday). Children answer questions about the work they have read, the one who does the best will receive a prize. If the kids like this kind of entertainment, they can hold quizzes every month.

Selection of books
The book offered to the child should be of interest to him. And for this you need to know his hobbies. Even adults read without pleasure when the topic of the book is not interesting to them. What can we say about children! A girl who loves fairy tales about princesses should not be offered a book about pioneer heroes. A boy interested in dinosaurs will not be interested in a book on space travel. The main thing is to know what the child is interested in and to offer something that he will definitely not refuse. Moreover, the interests of children are changing, the main thing is to observe this and immediately react.

Books by age
Choose literature by age. How to get a child to read classical literature at the age of 7? No way. Do not spoil the mood for yourself or your child. He likes fairy tales - let him read fairy tales. Everything will come with time. Our task is to make the child love to read. So let him read whatever he wants. Even if you can't wait to influence his choice - keep yourself in hand. Even if it seems that it is time for the child to switch to more serious books, do not interfere. Over time, everything will change.

7. Finding new friends and discovering the whole world
In books, we get to know people and go on adventures that are often lacking in reality. Heroes turn into friends and advisers. We can argue, hate each other, or support each other in difficult times. These are real emotions that each of us experiences. Not a simple escape from reality, but a new life experience.

Producer and journalist Lisa Boo shared at a TED conference how books saved her during a crisis and helped her see light in darkness.

8. We train memory and logical thinking
How to remember all the heroes of “War and Peace” and delve into the intricate plot? Have iron nerves, developed memory and logic. When you understand a complex piece, you extend the life of the brain. In the study "Cognitive activity throughout life, neuropathological load and cognitive aging" showed that book addicts in old age are 32% less likely to get Alzheimer's. The brain works better when the book is longer.

There are enough pluses in fiction books: we learn to be compassionate, understand others, increase our vocabulary and develop imagination. Speak wider, discover original experiences and solve problems in a new way, and most importantly, be calm and sleep soundly.

Isn't it the real cure for worries? Do you like to read fiction?

1. Letting go of stereotypes
Literary laws differ from world standards - in fictional worlds, society is often more tolerant of oppressed and minority groups.

In Italy, a study was conducted on The Greatest Magic of Harry Potter: Fighting Prejudice, during which fifth grade students read several excerpts from Harry Potter. The teacher suggested how to analyze what was written. Especially the emphasis was put on the moments where the main character is loyal to the Mudbloods - the guys whose parents are Muggles. After three lessons, the children began to talk more calmly about homosexuals, immigrants and refugees.

2. Develop empathy
The results of the study "Discovering the novel: fiction improves empathy" showed that fiction books develop a conscious empathy for other people, and help to imagine yourself in their place. The reason is that the brain processes information in the same way in the work, and in reality.

The area of ​​the left temple is responsible for the perception of language - the brain thinks that it is doing the same as the character in the book. The phenomenon is called "embodied knowledge." When we read, we move into the body of the hero.

Fiction helps to shift the focus away from yourself, and begin to better understand the desires and behavior of other people.

3. Improving sleep and strengthening the nerves
Escape into a fictional world can help deal with stress, and a book is one of the most powerful tools. The study “Reading: Reducing Stress” found that just six minutes of focused reading relaxed muscles by 68%. Compare with other activities: listening to your favorite songs calms down by 61%, walking by 42%, and playing computer games by only 21%.

The book is best suited for evening entertainment. Reading relaxes, distracts from worries and helps you fall asleep.

4. Accept uncertainty
Stability is a myth, but it doesn't bother fans of the novels much. The study “Opening a Closed Mind: The Impact of Literature on the Need for Certainty” proved that people who read fictional stories are more comfortable with uncertainty than connoisseurs of non-fiction.

The experiment involved 100 students from the University of Toronto. Young people were given one essay or one story to read. Then each responded to several questions that assessed their level of need for stability. Bottom line: Students who read stories had an easier time responding to instability. Thinking broadly and seeking creativity is what the books teach.

5. Enriching vocabulary
The Habit to Read experiment demonstrated that the number of fiction books read is directly related to vocabulary.

If you want to learn how to speak beautifully, then fiction will help with this. You will be able to express your thoughts better.

6. Develop imaginative thinking and imagination
The English classic Joseph Conrad had a saying on this score: “A writer creates only half a book. The rest is written by the reader ”. A wise author tells only what is necessary, and makes the reader connect with his imagination. The setting, the appearance of the characters, the smells, the voices - we, as directors, come up with the details ourselves.

If your imagination doesn't work out, then read more books. Fiction will thrill you.
