父母参与孩子的阅读(2/3)

During the first four years of a child's life, a majority of parents (53%) read to their children every day or night. By the time they reach the age of five to eight, this tails off to 37%. Between the ages of eight and twelve, it falls to 21%. This is a direct reason that causes a decline in children's enjoyment of reading over the past five years. 55% of 11-year-old boys now say they enjoy reading -- compared with 70% five years ago. The percentage of girls has declined from 85% to 75% in the same period. Julia Strong, one of coordinators of a Family Reading Campaign, said that sharing books together has so many benefits for families. She strongly recommends that parent should involve in their children's reading, which has more of an influence on children's achievement than any other factor.

孩子在1到4岁时，53%的父母会每天或每晚给孩子讲故事，当孩子长到5岁至8岁时，这样做的父母只有37%，而当孩子到了8岁至12岁时，就只剩下21%了。 这是过去五年中造成孩子阅读兴趣锐减的直接原因。5年前有70%年龄在11岁的男孩子表示喜欢阅读，而现在只有55%。在同一时期，喜欢阅读的女孩的人数从85%下降到75 %。 全国家庭阅读竞赛的一位负责人朱丽娅·斯特朗说，父母与孩子一起读书对家庭来说有很多益处。她强烈推荐父母积极参与到孩子的阅读中来，因为这对孩子的成就获得方面的影响，比其他任何因素都要重要。
