As the ancients said, it is beneficial to open books. Reading after class has many advantages, but I don't think it is necessarily beneficial to open books. Belinsky put it well: "It is better not to read a book that is not suitable for you. We must learn such a skill and choose the most valuable reading materials that best suit our needs. " There are many publications now, so it is very important to guide students to choose extracurricular reading correctly. I think we should pay attention to the following points when choosing extracurricular reading materials: First, we should teach students to choose extracurricular reading materials with healthy thoughts. Because of their young age, strong curiosity and low discrimination ability, students often have a negative impact when faced with all kinds of extracurricular reading materials, and sometimes even read some unhealthy reading materials. Teachers should not only recommend extracurricular reading materials to students, but also teach students how to choose some extracurricular reading materials that are healthy in thought and beneficial to physical and mental development. When choosing extracurricular reading materials, we should conform to the party's educational policy and the needs of children's healthy growth. We can't feed our students with "poisonous flowers". As we all know, interesting, knowledgeable and literary children's books, such as idiom stories, unsolved mysteries of the world, we love science, knowledge tree, Chinese children, campus literature and so on, are all children's favorite books. Students should also be allowed to read thoughtful books such as The Growth Course of Celebrities and Great Men, The Education of Love, Love for the Motherland and Aspiring to Become a Talent. Second, we should teach students to choose extracurricular reading materials closely related to life. For example, the contents of Du Ming Nick, a handsome dog and I want to be a good boy are closely related to students' real life, and the language of the articles is also easy to establish contact with students' existing experience. Students feel very kind when they read such an article. Because I have some life experience, I have no difficulty in understanding it. More importantly, the accumulated experience can help students find a more accurate expression language and cultivate their sense of language. When students have any important activities or bad thoughts in their study and life, they should find some relevant books to mobilize their ideological education. For example, the cold weather in winter makes students afraid to practice calligraphy, which makes them feel discouraged. Teachers can choose articles such as The Long March Story and The Eighth Time for students to read, so that students can devote themselves to writing training. The school holds "Giving Love" activities, and selects some helpful articles for students to read in time, so students' enthusiasm for donation will be high. If an article can make readers devote themselves to it, then the influence of the article on people will be lasting and far-reaching, not only the content may be unforgettable, but also the related language may be unforgettable. Third, we should teach students to choose extracurricular reading materials closely related to the spiritual world. Children are naturally fond of fantasy and reading stories with fantasy. Fairy tales are imaginative, the characters in the story are fictional, the environment is hypothetical, and the plots and events are not real in life. But fantasy often places children's hopes and ideals and reflects their inner spiritual pursuit. So it has great charm for children. Science fiction is not only imaginative but also scientific. It is a reflection of people's good wishes and has more practical significance than fairy tales. People want to overcome death and long for survival. Immortal immortals and immortal creatures have appeared in fairy tales of past dynasties. However, in science fiction, magical new drugs appeared and new medical equipment was invented. These are what children want, so they like to read science fiction stories. Curiosity is another nature of children. Children are curious about the unknown world and always want to ask "why". They like reading books about adventure and science fiction, which is driven by curiosity. So works like Adventure in Space and Robinson Crusoe can arouse their great interest and are worth recommending. Teachers should also pay attention to the following two points when recommending extracurricular reading materials to students: First, the language level of reading materials is slightly higher than that of students. In combination with the reading activity of "Reading, Let's Be More Beautiful" carried out by the school, students are allowed to extensively dabble in the classic model essays that have been passed down through the ages. Such articles are beautifully worded and can directly reach the students' spiritual world. After reading this article, students' language and spiritual cultivation will be improved. For example, "Famous Sentences by Famous Scholars" and "Poems of Tang and Song Dynasties" should be read by students. Some famous sentences that have been told through the ages have wide applicability and high frequency of use. Such as: "A threesome, there must be my teacher." "But as long as you go up a flight of stairs, you can broaden your horizons by 300 miles." These poems are very close to the spiritual world of students' real life and are easy to produce * * * sounds. We should choose more articles containing these languages for students to read. In addition, children's poems reflect children's innocence and childlike interest, and the language is concise. Reading is harmonious in rhyme, lively in rhythm and catchy in words, which is deeply loved by children and is also a rare spiritual food for children. Second, the recommended reading materials should consider the individual differences of students. According to the investigation, students' interest in reading varies with age, years of study, gender, personality and psychological characteristics. Generally speaking, fairy tales, myths, fables and folktales are the main subjects in primary schools, while senior students are interested in biographies, legends and thrillers in addition to stories, which can be said to have entered the literary period. Girls generally like to read books with storylines, while boys are interested in history, geography, sports and science. Therefore, teachers can understand students' hobbies and introduce them in a targeted way. Most students' extracurricular reading is carried out in the form of individuals. Therefore, when teachers carry out extracurricular reading, they should allow students' individual differences, fully consider students' psychological characteristics and needs, and the forms should be eclectic and not unified, so as to successfully stimulate students' reading motivation.
