點樣可以提升小朋友既閱讀速度?

joeybecherz

我仔仔其實英文幾好，聆聽力方面無問題
不過我發覺佢做閱讀理解同睇書就好慢
怕佢做考試果陣拖得好耐
有無方法可以提升小朋友既閱讀速度?

我都想知,我小朋友看一本約300頁英文小說,約用2個小時多,咁算快定慢呢?

我在這書上學到的其中一些重點是：
1． 不是所有書都適合速讀，不同類別的書需要用不同的速度去閱讀。
2．要有能力速讀，讀者本身所懂的詞彙要夠多，不然讀了却不能理解，亦是枉然。
3． subvocalization的好與壞，邊看邊在心裏讀，會局限了閱讀速度，不利速讀。但另一方面，若本身讀得很慢，邊看邊讀反而會讀快些。
4． 讀書不是每個字都讀，而是幾個字一起看，一組，一句地讀，每次眼睛可以吸納越多字數，就讀得越快。
5． 不是所有字都重要，讀書需要先有個概覽，在每段每句找出重點。

看了這本書，我的結論是要先替孩子建立好足夠的詞彙量。

一般大學程度的人，閱讀速度大約是每分鐘250字。

正是如此！越看得多書，越看得快。

曾在小學書五年級教速讀訓練時，眼球轉動訓練，不知有幫助否？順時針、逆時針、橫8字順時針、逆時針

lillymarie & madscientist,

Thank you !

如果小朋友講野快過閱讀，讀出聲亦可以幫助增加速度。

但讀出聲或者在心裏讀，速度的極限大約是每分鐘250字，再快些去到每分鐘400﹣1000字，就要用另外的技巧了，不過這是大學以後的事。

另外，如果小朋友眼睛掃字時不穏定，會跳行的話，用手指或間尺帶眼睛走，反而會加快閱讀速度。

各種方法都有長短，先找出孩子閱讀慢的原因，再試試各種不同的方法。
技巧可以教很多，但最終還是那句“practice makes perfect", 多讀多實習。

there are certainly ways to improve reading speed, for example someone mentioned subvocalisation.  however, that is generally a method for competent adult readers.  to compare a child's reading speed with that of a uni student's is mostly pointless; apples and oranges.

in the past, a few parents have asked me to help them understand why their children read so slowly.  they reasoned that their children knew a lot of vocab and could understand all the sentences.  in each case, the reason was the same: the children weren't familiar enough with many of the words.

eg.  i asked a student whether he knew the word "pianist".  after a few seconds' thought, he answered correctly, but with the word "singer", his answer was almost immediate.

imagine if within EVERY sentence there are a few words, like "pianist", where a child requires a little bit of extra time to comprehend or recall the meaning, those few seconds very quickly add up over the course of a paragraph or chapter. the overall effect is that he reads very slowly despite seemingly knowing every word.

comprehension requires learning, familiarity requires practice.

my two cents

多謝分享！ 我亦很為囝囝閱讀頭痛，你的講解令我又明白多一點了，thanks!

I think it would also depend on how important the "less unfamiliar words" would be in the sentences or paragraphs to be read.  That is to say, unless the word "pianist" that needs a couple of seconds for the child to comprehend before he goes on plays a vital role in the article, a kid may still be able to grasp the meaning of the stuff he has read.  (or he/she insists on knowing every word before proceeding further).

For example, my P.1 kid previously finished reading Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach in less than a day (don't know exactly how long he took 'cos I have to work).  Yet he knows the story line and could share it with me, e.g. the peach became home to James in the end.

我囝囝大個少少，中一。遇到的問題有少許不同，他看小說也可以看得很快，但叫他讀science書或者筆記，就讀得慢和有時候看不明白。結果一叫他讀science書，他就很怕似的。所以我才自己去看書，希望了解一下他的問題在那裏。

舉 一個令我很意外但亦頗搞笑的例子：
“Sand does not dissolve when it is mixed into water. Instead it settles quickly to the bottom. Before the sand settles out, the mixture is an example of a suspension. ”

我囝話睇唔明。我問佢有邊個字佢唔識？佢話全部都識，但睇唔明。我問了佢幾次，才問到原來佢唔明白“settles out”的意思。我解釋了之後，他明白講乜，但想像唔到係點樣，話未見過沙在水中。最後我提醒他在沙灘玩沙，加水在沙堆的狀況就是了。
我以上提過那書，我覺得很好，因為作者提出，不是所有書都適合速讀。作者亦給了一些閱讀的技巧，例如先看標題，找大綱，在一段文字中找最重要的一句等等。我教囝囝這些方法，又真的令他克服恐懼，可以自己去看那science書，不再呱呱叫。

one way you may try is to understand his/her favourite books series and then borrow more to boost him/her to read more. So , for long term, try to build up more interesting book series for him/her to explore the interest of reading
