感覺是身體和我們溝通的方法。
如果感覺到眼皮沈重眼睛酸澀，身體痠痛疲累，就是身體在告訴我們它需要休息。如果不睡覺，隔天會感到眼皮沈重、眼睛酸澀、身體很疲勞、疼痛、牙齦線後退，如果牙齦線一直往後退，退到最後它抓不住牙齒，牙齒就會掉光，裝假牙很貴，而且需要三餐飯後去廁所把假牙拿下來洗，如果不洗它會被細菌蛀掉。鑲牙也需要錢，如果為了省錢裝品質太差的、醫生技術不好可能會引起發炎，讓我們牙痛、頭痛或死亡。睡眠不足也會讓我們腦袋昏沉很難集中精神進行任務。
眼睛酸澀疼痛疲勞是在告訴我們眼睛需要休息，如果失明我們就沒辦法快速找到電燈開關的位置、用一般的速度自己走到廁所、進行許多日常活動時需要改用觸覺摸索道路和物體和用計時的方式判斷進行下一個動作的時機，重度近視也使我們在日常生活中判斷危險時非常不利
There are many advantages to rereading books including increased vocabulary, comprehension skills and confidence building. Find out why rereading is an important strategy for reading comprehension, particularly for struggling readers.
Does your child repeatedly read the same books over and over again? In my role as a teacher and librarian, I have met many parents who despair at their child repeatedly choosing the same book to read. They start to dread storytime because they cannot read that book one more time!
They wanted advice on how they could encourage their children to switch up their reading. My response wasn’t always what parents wanted to hear!
Interestingly, research shows repeated reading doesn’t benefit secondary aged students. It claims “secondary pupils are falling behind in their reading because they are not moving on from writers they first met in primary school.” However, Andrew McCallum argues in The Guardian the research is missing the point of what reading is about. He argues for the benefits of older children rereading their favourite books. Find out more about using picture books with older children.

There are many benefits to rereading books, particularly for young children learning to read. Here are 4 reasons why.
A great reading strategy for comprehension is increased vocabulary. It makes sense that increased exposure to reading increases vocabulary. However, when a child rereads the same text, they memorise more than when exposed to many new words.
The key to learning new vocabulary is through familiarity with those words. Research with 3-year-olds shows those who repeatedly rereading books increased their vocabulary more than those who read a variety of books. Not that the children with the choice of text didn’t improve, they did, but the increase was not as great as those with multiple exposures to the same text.
Rereading books strengthens an understanding of the pattern, rhythm and pronunciation of the text. Developing a deeper understanding of phonemic awareness involves identifying, hearing and manipulating separate sounds in words, an important early stage of learning to read.
Reading aloud promotes the connection between correct pronunciation and spelling. This will only grow through exposure to the same vocabulary.
Rereading books provides an opportunity to develop a deep understanding of a book’s plot or character development something not possible reading a book once. Exploring the text and illustrations helps children delve into the story’s message and make new connections, preparing them for more complex narratives.
As a key reading strategy for comprehension,rereading books provides an opportunity to answer more complex and elaborative questions and offer judgements and opinions.
Memorisation is an important reading strategy for comprehension to develop increased vocabulary, reading fluency and accuracy. Reading a book without pausing or waiting for an adult to reveal an unknown word is confidence-boosting. Often, when a child gets to this point, they will move onto new books with new challenges. Remember, greater confidence develops into a lifelong love of reading.
Rereading books without judgement help children further develop their reading skills, vocabulary and confidence, even if it is frustrating for you! As a reading strategy for comprehension do you actively encourage your students to reread books? If not, why not?
