Give results first, don’t interfere, and encourage
Here are three explanations:
-
Reason 1: the baby likes the content and feels happy and joyful after seeing it
-
Reason two: Their brains work the same way they get information
Children and adults get information in books in different order. For adults, reading is the overall grasp, repeatedly read a book, see the text and picture are basically the same every time
Not so with children. Even if you read the text to your child page by page at a time, your child will still experience different levels of reading
Read Baba baba’s Christmas Present, for example, and grown-ups will know that it is about the babazu birds keeping warm on cold, icy days.
But kids don’t. They look at picture books, and they think, “Wow, those little birds are wearing sweaters… Why does the bird catch a cold and take medicine?”
If the same picture book is read continuously at the same time, the audience will have completely different points each time. For them, each time will be fresh.
It’s like typing a fingerprint on your mobile phone. You have to press it left, right, up, down again and again. Each time you press it, the fingerprint information becomes more complete
Baby reading is like this process

Reason 3: Babies can gain confidence from reading the Chinese New Year repeatedly, which is often overlooked
By reading a familiar book, your baby can guess what’s on the next page and what’s going to happen next. The story will develop according to your baby’s prediction, and your baby will feel “I’ve got it all right” and feel very confident.
Imagine taking a familiar road home from work. You know where to turn, where to cross the traffic lights, and how long it will take you to get home. Isn’t that reassuring?
Your baby will have a similar feeling when reading a familiar book. And, in the process of listening over and over again, your baby is still subtly learning your speaking skills, accumulating vocabulary, and even trying to express yourself.
Educational experts have put forward, repeated practice is “children’s intellectual gymnastics”, repeated training, can improve the psychological sense of children process.
Repeated reading really provides a good opportunity for repeated practice, so that the matching of pictures and words is still gradually realized
As people become more familiar with the story, they pay less attention to the picture and allocate more cognitive resources to discovering the text.
