Reading books as a family can be a very exciting and fun activity for all family members, regardless of age. Anna Delianidi, Deputy Director for International and Social Activities at the Russian State Library, explained what the practice of family reading is.
According to her, a lot depends on the parents. Because it is possible to persuade and agree on some kind of compromise with children if adults are open to this.
“For the little ones, for the development of their thinking, wonderful wimmel books were invented, and, in essence, some kind of comic book without inscriptions, when, turning the page, you get from one place in the city to another place in the city or from one season to another and come up with stories about this is the story”“, the expert explained in an interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda radio.
This kind of reading is especially interesting if there are children of different ages at the table. While the little ones are looking for, for example, a parrot, the older ones are already coming up with their own detective story as they go. And parents come up with something of their own. If we talk about literature from the school period, then you can also read it together and then discuss it, explains Delianidi.
“And also do some words and phrases from a story or story in some code that only your family understands and which you use, look at each other and giggle. This is generally great. It’s very uniting, very”,” concluded Delianidi.
