[[abstract]]閱讀是學習的基礎，是幼兒進入思考與理解世界的一扇門，也是終身學習時代必備的基本能力。近幾年來世界各國教育無不重視閱讀能力的培養，有鑑於此，教育部於2000年推出全國閱讀運動計畫，筆者任教之學校在此背景下，推動親子共讀活動，然而在全球化的浪潮下，藉由跨國婚姻而移入臺灣的新住民有增加的趨勢，其子女陸續就學，學校在推動過程這些新住民家庭，常有無法配合情形，基於想要幫助他們，引發筆者想探討這議題的動機。本研究從文獻分析中探討政府對新住民子女教育相關政策，同時透過訪談了解新住民家庭參與親子共讀的情形。 過程中發現新住民家庭爸爸因子女的要求而參與親子共讀，媽媽也因共讀而對中文學習更熱衷，在共讀中會加入自己母國的語言及文化的傳遞，家人對親子共讀活動普遍持肯定態度，會在家中營造閱讀的環境，樂於共同協助幼兒完成親子學習單。 研究結果發現在家庭部分有增進家庭親子建立親密關係，了解幼兒內心世界，提高共讀時間與共讀頻率，促進學習型家庭的建立。在幼兒學習方面有提升幼兒閱讀與繪畫表現及口語表達能力，幼兒人際互動能力增進與同儕互動性與主動性，並與老師建立更親密的關係。最後對政府及幼教機構與新住民家庭提供推行親子共讀之建議。[[abstract]]Reading is the foundation of learning, it is also the gate for young children to access to the world and the basic skill required for the lifelong learning as well. In recent years, all countries in the world pay attention to develop children’s reading skills, in view of this, the Ministry of Education launched the National Reading Program in 2000. Based on this program, the researcher’s school started to promote parent-child reading activities. Owing to the wave of globalization, more and more new immigrants moved into Taiwan by transnational marriage and their children enter schools one after another, it is found that the new immigrants are usually unavailable to follow the reading program. In order to promote new immigrants’ reading ability, the researcher intended to investigate the important factors for their reading motivation. The study mainly analyzed our government’s education policy related to new immigrants, and the involvement of the parent-child reading by interviewing the new immigrant families. It was found that fathers from new immigrant families are willing to participate in parent-child reading by children’s request, and it is, therefore, mothers will be more interested in learning Chinese as well. Besides, mother tongue from immigrant country as well as its culture will thus be added to the reading. The family members hold a positive attitude towards co-reading and create a reading environment at home so as to assist their children to complete the reading worksheet. The finding of the study is that the intimate relation between parents and children is promoted, a better understanding of children’s world is established, frequency and duration of co-reading is added, learning families are therefore established. Children's reading, painting, and oral expression skills are promoted, their interpersonal relation, interaction and initiative are also created, furthermore, they have closer relationship with their teachers. Finally, the researcher provides suggestions to the government, preschool institutions as well as new immigrant families with regard to a better way to carry out parent-child reading program.[[note]]碩
