Generally, British children aged 65,438+0-4 mainly read picture books and comics. Picture books were originally imported words, meaning picture books, that is, the word picture books was taken from the Chinese character Sakamoto called "ぇほんん" in Japanese picture books, with pictures as the main theme and simple words * * * to tell stories. There is a knowledge in preschool education: picture books are the best reading materials in early childhood!
So, what positive effects do picture books have on children's growth?
First of all, participatory reading can help children develop good reading habits.
Preschool is the best time to cultivate habits, and parent-child reading is the best way to read independently, which has a very positive effect on making children become real readers. Different from simply listening to stories, participatory reading can increase children's interaction with words and pictures. He can actually control the rhythm of the story, gain experience from the picture, unconsciously observe the picture under the guidance of interest, enhance the ability of reading pictures and observing and understanding, participate in it and gain the initiative, which not only broadens his horizons, enriches his knowledge, but also experiences happiness and beauty. Research shows that it is very helpful for children to develop good study habits by developing the habit of reading frequently in early childhood.
Secondly, listening and appreciating reading can enrich children's language experience.
Early childhood is a sensitive period of language development. At this stage, he needs a lot of language stimulation and language output, which is an important period of language development. Picture books can conform to children's development characteristics. It is a literary form with eyes and ears and a multi-sensory learning model. While watching pictures and listening to words, children gradually learn to associate language with picture symbols, and then become interested in text symbols. Then this ability to connect language symbols, picture symbols and text symbols is of great help to children's future language learning and literature learning. In the process of reading picture books, children will also be enriched.
Third, parent-child reading creates a beautiful feeling of love and warmth.
Early childhood education emphasizes the blending of love and affection, and emphasizes the education of love, and reading picture books can just meet this educational concept. Picture books are not for children to read by themselves. They need parents to accompany, read and tell. As you can imagine, when parents hold their children in their arms, read them in their own language, convey rich feelings to them, or discuss a short story face to face, at this time, the children must be happy in their hearts. When parents and children read together, they communicate with each other in language, emotion, heart and even skin, and deep love naturally flows. The so-called "moistening things quietly" is like this.
Fourth, impeccable artistic value lays an aesthetic foundation for children.
A good picture book can give people a good feeling. Whether it is color, line or expression, it has its own unique technique, which can be called "master's work". In recent years, major domestic publishing houses have begun to introduce a large number of foreign excellent picture books. For example, the series of basic graded reading picture books "Oxford Tree" and "Big Cat" in Britain are highly respected because of the GAI and innovation of material selection standards, and pay attention to the artistic value and special creativity of the works, so that children can open up another thinking space in the reading process and lay an aesthetic foundation for life. Children who grow up reading picture books will certainly have a good understanding of beauty.
