My daughter's kindergarten is a so-called public kindergarten, which does not learn knowledge, but it creates a good reading atmosphere, which is very satisfactory.
First of all, every class in kindergarten has a big book corner. Dozens of picture books are placed on a low bookshelf on a wall. The floor is covered with cushions that can be directly seated, allowing children to change their postures and read books on them. Children can choose to read books in the corner in their spare time every day, and the reading time can reach up to half an hour.
Secondly, there is a big library in the kindergarten. Every week, the teacher takes the children in the class to the library to study. Although I haven't been to their library in person, we can see from the photos sent by the teacher that the bookshelf is placed in the middle of the library, not against the wall, and both sides are unobstructed, which is a bit like the bookshelf of a bookstore. There are also many chairs of various styles in the library, and children sit next to each other and read books. The atmosphere is particularly good.
In addition, in the corridors and aisles of kindergartens, there will be a small bookshelf or partition on the wall at regular intervals, with some picture books scattered on it. As long as there are picture books, there will be several comfortable sofa chairs next to them to facilitate children to sit down and read. But according to my observation, it is difficult for children to have the opportunity to read this part of the book, because the teacher will not let the children stay alone in the aisle. This setting is suspected to be only for parents. But this does reflect the kindergarten's willingness to pay attention to reading, and even if it is a gesture, parents will be pleased.
Recently, at the request of the teacher in my daughter's class, I am DIY a picture book about autumn with my daughter. After I finish writing and bring it to kindergarten, my daughter will explain it and then display it in the class book corner for the children to read at will. For my daughter, this is something that can inspire her sense of honor, but it is no small challenge for me. Although the book hasn't been finished yet, in the process of making it, my mind has been constantly flashing the scenes of children scrambling to see our DIY picture book curiously.
I hope that with the bilateral efforts of family and school, every child can fall in love with books.
