For example, the fairy tale "Radish Going Home", which has been deeply loved by children, has a simple plot, but it is exciting: the little white rabbit found two radishes on a cold snowy night. He wants to have dinner with his good friend, but the little monkey is not at home. He ate a radish himself and put the big radish on the table of the little monkey's house. The little monkey put the radish on the windowsill of the deer's house again; The deer put the radish in front of the bear house; The bear put the radish in the rabbit's house. The rabbit was full and slept soundly. A big radish turned around in the hands of several good friends and returned to the home of the little white rabbit. This is really a very interesting story! When children listen to it, they will always remember it, and the resulting artistic appeal cannot be expressed in words.
We often have to teach children some knowledgeable children's literature, that is, to turn knowledge into fascinating stories or catchy poems. Children are willing to listen, willing to read, know quickly, and remember. For example, the knowledge fairy tale "Three Stars" is to explain to children the functions of three traffic signals on the road: red light, green light and yellow light. But the author does not tell the story directly, but uses rich fairy tale fantasies to form a beautiful fairy tale realm: there is a red star in the sky. The red star fell and landed on a tree by the road. When the car sees the red star, it stops and says it's a red light. You can't drive until the green light is on. Red Star quickly asked Green Star for help. The green star hurried down after learning, followed by the yellow star. However, the green star, yellow star and red star are all on, and the car still won't move. Only when they blink in turn can the car start and stop. When children listen to this story, they will immediately immerse themselves in the interesting plot and remember the friendship and cooperation between three good friends. Interesting fairy tale fantasy is not only bold imagination, but also scientific basis, which can let children learn to think and imagine freely, and imagination is the premise of creation.
2. Because children can't read or read very little, children's literature is mostly a "picture book" based on pictures. These "picture books" will bring unforgettable visual inspiration to children, no matter what brushwork and style the painter uses to draw. On the one hand, bright and vivid colors can let children know things and life while distinguishing coloring and luminosity; On the other hand, using beautiful pictures to express stories is most suitable for children's mood. This is not only because children's thinking is concrete and vivid, but also because they can generally understand the content of the story by looking at a page of pictures. Moreover, the continuous painting pages show the changes of things, which is real and dynamic; Because of the attention to detail description, it exudes a fresh breath of life and renders a specific emotional atmosphere. Therefore, "picture books" will give children a sense of freshness. It adapts to children's voices and has the power to "talk" with children. For example, "Little Tadpole Looking for Mother" not only vividly reproduces the whole process of little tadpoles growing into frogs, but also lets children know many creatures living in water. The vivid pictures in the book, coupled with anthropomorphic expressions and actions that are very easy to communicate with children, bring children into the realm of words, let them give full play to their reading imagination, and play a very natural communication role. So as to instill the scientific knowledge in the book into children's interesting reading.
Some people may say that TV has penetrated into people's daily lives and children's lives. Cat and mouse, Mickey mouse, Donald duck, black cat sheriff, etc. Will make children happy. Will the development of children's TV literature make children give up books? The answer is: no. Television and books are two different ways to re-create children's literature. Television can show all kinds of dynamic pictures, but books can leave a lot of room for children to supplement, think and imagine. They can read and appreciate various philosophies wrapped in literary images over and over again.
Although children's literature is written for children, its words are incomprehensible to children. Children often listen to stories instead of reading them by themselves. Because of this, children's literature pays attention to the simplicity of structure and the conciseness and vividness of language. Good children's literature works can be the best reading materials for children to exercise their thinking and learn a language. For example, in the fairy tale "Where is Spring", the author wrote: "... a warm wind blows. Ah! The grass is green, the flowers are in bloom, the sharp leaves are green, and the broken ice on the river floats around like a boat, swinging around happily ... "Let the children feel the beauty of short sentences, fine words and meanings in poetry and painting!
Children's literature contains rich and profound meanings in simple and vivid expression, and its role in children's language education is very obvious. Many famous writers and writers in history were influenced by bedtime stories when they were young. Parents make full use of the role of "picture books" to tell stories to their children before going to bed and stimulate their interest in literary works.
At present, young parents attach great importance to buying books and subscribing to newspapers and periodicals for their children. However, buying books and subscribing to newspapers and periodicals does not mean that children have learned useful things from children's literature. What is important is what methods parents should take to arouse their children's interest in literary works, so that children can truly become masters of "drawing books". It is a good choice to tell children stories before going to bed at night.
1. Parents and teachers should read picture books with correct pronunciation to their children. Because, just as a mother's milk nurtures a child's body, parents' loving and passionate language nurtures a child's mind. When parents touch the child's head, sit side by side or kneel with him, and read aloud to the child according to the changes of the child's eyes and expressions, the language is full of love, and the tone is full of a real feeling-the feeling of the contents of the book and the feeling of the child's heart. In this way, children will constantly listen to rich and affectionate languages, develop the habit of listening to languages, and cultivate the ability to communicate with others in language. Psychologists' experiments prove that listening to radio and story recording can never replace parents' reading and telling in a loving voice.
2. Children's familiar poems, essays and stories can inspire them to recite and recite with expressions, so that recitation and understanding can promote each other and form a virtuous circle of reading and learning.
3. Guide children to "read" books regularly. We should read new books and newspapers in time. Some stories have only one or two illustrations in the book, which can encourage them to draw their own stories. In his own bedroom, there should be a "book corner" or "small wall newspaper". However, all this should be natural. Never "adapt" children's literary works into "textbooks" for parents to preach. Teachers spend a little time telling stories to children before taking a nap every day to arouse their interest in literary works and promote their development.
For kindergarten children, they still have to take a nap at noon, and they can also be influenced by bedtime stories. Kindergarten also has many books suitable for children to enjoy and read. How should teachers use these resources? It is not enough for children to read by themselves. We should make use of every opportunity to play the role of books. In addition to the content of language education in teaching activities, we can also make full use of the nap some time ago. It is a good time to enjoy the story when the child is already lying in bed and not asleep. Tell a story to your child during a nap every day. After forming a habit, your child will be unconsciously affected. At that time, it may be a sleep song for children during their nap, but the role of this "sleep song" will be revealed in the later days, especially in children's language development and aesthetic education. Of course, there are also some intellectual things that children can accept. For example, once, I found a story about "Little Mouse Selling Rice" in Little Frog Newspaper, which was quite good. It not only has an interesting story, but also contains a lot of mathematical knowledge. The mouse took a handful of rice, and one * * * had 9 grains, and ate 1 grain (9- 1=8), and there were 8 grains. Two for chickens, two for ducklings (2+2=4)(8-4=4), and four more. A pigeon flew in and gave it 1 (4- 1=3), and there were three others. The pigeon still wanted to eat, and ate two more (3-2= 1), leaving only 1 grain of rice. The mouse ate the remaining 1 grain of rice (1- 1=0). The little mouse ate two grains of rice and became very strong. He found an apple tree and picked a red apple. It's very happy. Children like to listen to "Little Mouse Selling Rice" very much, and they have unconsciously mastered the mathematical content in it.
Of course, bedtime stories are exquisite, not too long, and it is best to control them within half an hour. This is the result of my repeated experiments. Also pay attention to the choice of stories, peaceful, quiet and beautiful. We should not choose stories with violent or horrible plots, otherwise it will affect the quality of children's siesta, and maybe children will have nightmares.
In a word, bedtime stories are a part of children's literature, which is a literature of love and happiness. Being a good friend of children can promote their better development.
