Our garden has been carrying out the activities of "creating a good environment for kindergartens and carrying out research on early reading activities", and at the same time, combining the kindergarten-based curriculum in our garden and centering on Mr. Tao Xingzhi's theory that "life is education", we have created an environment. The purpose is to start with the reading environment, let children enjoy the fun of reading in a good environment, give play to their reading autonomy, cultivate their good reading habits, improve their reading ability, and carry out a series of research and practical activities.
The Creation of Classroom Reading Environment
The guide points out: "We should create a free and relaxed language communication environment for parenting ..." A suitable class reading area is the first thing we should prepare for our children. This reading area should make people feel relaxed, happy, quiet and peaceful. Therefore, in the creation of class reading area, comfortable environment, rich reading materials and comfortable atmosphere are the key points we pursue.
First, enrich the reading area materials
First of all, please prepare a favorite book for each child, take it to kindergarten, put it on the bookshelf in our reading area, and share reading with peers. There are no restrictions on the types of books, such as literary works, picture books, picture books, educational books and handmade books. In the reading area, children should be provided with an operation table, paper, colored pens, scissors, glue and other tools to guide them to create stories after reading and try to make their own books. At the same time, for damaged books, encourage children to try to repair them and form a good habit of caring for books.
Secondly, many images of animals and characters often appear in books read by children. You can put a small doll in the reading area, so that children can freely choose a doll to tell stories and enrich reading fun. In this process, children can tell stories while playing games, which can not only deepen the content of stories, but also develop children's oral ability, promote children's reading interest through games and deepen their understanding of stories.
Second, create a warm reading atmosphere
The warm reading atmosphere makes children feel the beauty and comfort of the environment and get a good reading experience and psychological comfort. The location of reading area should grasp two basic principles: "bright" and "quiet"; Give the reading area a nice name and divide the activity area; A few pots of green plants and a few comfortable cushions can make children feel how happy it is to read freely in a comfortable environment; On the wall of the activity area, children can be guided to develop good reading habits and reading order by combining pictures and texts, such as "reading gently", "turning pages gently" and "picking up and putting down gently"; Move the story to the wall to create an atmosphere in the reading area; Create a "good book recommendation" area where children can make their own decisions and put the "good books" you think into the "good book recommendation" bag every three days. During the activity, children can also introduce the reasons why they think this is a good book, which is also a way for children to read independently.
Third, increase the area of self-made books
Reading is a pleasant thing, while making books by hand is a fresh and creative thing. In large classes, we can add a self-made book area for children, bind blank books for children, and children can record their own stories in this self-made book. At the same time, make a display wall for the self-made book area. This wall can not only divide the reading area and the self-made book area, but also display the books made by children themselves on this wall. In the process of reading, encourage children to think and imagine boldly, express their ideas in the form of painting, edit and create constantly, and get the joy of learning in creation.
Creation of Reading Environment in Kindergarten
Aidan chambers, a master of English literature, said in Creating a Reading Environment for Children: "Reading always needs a place." It can be seen how important reading is, and creating a good reading environment for children is the first condition. Creating a good reading environment can make children actively and effectively interact with the environment. Reading is life, it comes from every corner of life. Guided by Mr. Tao Xingzhi's life education theory, our garden makes in-depth research, starts with the details and builds from the micro. Use various forms to bring reading into life and integrate life into reading environment.
First, let the children immerse themselves in the book garden.
In order to enrich children's independent activities, reading room is essential. The walls of the reading room are pink, so that children can fully feel the warmth and comfort of the activity area. At the same time, the activity room is divided into two areas with bookshelves. Children can choose the reading area according to their own preferences and comfort, sitting at a small table, sitting on a cushion and leaning against a pillow. From the perspective of multiple reading, books should include children's story picture books, poetry picture books, prose picture books, scientific knowledge picture books and so on. Let children have a wider choice, enrich reading materials and freely choose books according to their own preferences. Since children of all ages will enter the reading room, we can make a reading guide for the reading room according to the characteristics of the foreman in each year and stick it on the wall. At the same time, picture books should be classified according to content and age characteristics.
Second, provide a stage for children to show themselves.
"Outline" puts forward "to create a relaxed and harmonious activity environment for children, stimulate interest, experience aesthetic pleasure and create happiness, and reflect self-expression and creative sense of accomplishment." Then through the extension of reading, create a small stage for children, create a performance area-reading small stage, and make props such as flowers, trees, fences, headdresses and clothes with various materials according to the needs of performance. Cultivate children's interest in performing story games, and you can choose the characters in the story according to your own wishes. On the basis of being familiar with the content of the story, they can use appropriate sentences, actions and expressions to express the character characteristics of the characters and create characters and plots according to their own imagination. Encourage children to show themselves generously in front of groups and provide children with a stage for performance.
Third, the book is the ocean, and I am a fish in the ocean.
"The book is the ocean, and I am the fish in the ocean." We want every child to swim in the ocean of books like the tail fish in this ocean, and let them swim freely in the world of reading.
First of all, the decoration of the hall is very important, and the environment should be changed at any time in combination with the curriculum and theme activities. For example, combined with the theme of autumn, we can present relevant environmental content: the top of the head is covered with leaves, green, orange and yellow, and pieces of leaves grow on the bamboo tube, which seems to fall. Carve fruit trees with cardboard. The trees are full of autumn fruits. In the place where children walk into the kindergarten every day, there is a "good book recommendation" rack with picture books carefully selected by teachers, children and parents, not only books, but also book introductions and recommendation reasons, as well as reading guides provided by children of different ages.
On the wall of every staircase in kindergarten and at the top of the corridor, you can draw some beautiful picture books and hang them on them, or you can be the protagonist of the picture books that children like. A "Yue" reading shelf can be placed in a suitable open space in the kindergarten, and the books on the shelf can be freely borrowed by children and parents.
Kindergarten promenade, based on the principle of children's participation, creates a scholarly campus culture. On the wall of the promenade, children's reading works can be displayed as much as possible. For example, set up a "parent-child homemade book" display wall. The exhibition is a book made by children and parents together, bearing the dribs and drabs of children and parents in the reading world. Set up a "story meeting" display wall to organize children to create stories and present their own stories here in the form of paintings. Every story is different. You can also combine theme activities to create a theme wall related to reading theme activities.
Mr. Chen Heqin said: "After children come into this world, we should create a good reading environment for them as soon as possible, guide them to take the first step, make them know and fall in love with books, and then step into the sea of books and regard them as lifelong partners and mentors." Children's growth is inseparable from reading. Reading environment is the cradle of children's growth, which is closely related to children's reading interest and reading ability. When creating a reading area environment for children, teachers should not forget to pay attention to each child's reading needs, give play to the educational role of the environment, make the environment truly become the third teacher for children, let children interact with the environment, and let children read effectively.
Happy reading, healthy growth. Every child should get a good reading environment and strive to create a good reading environment for children, so that every life can develop naturally, healthily, harmoniously and happily in the limited campus space. This is the best gift we can give our children when they grow up.
