Parenting knowledge: how to read non-fiction books (1)

First of all, we must make it clear that novels, literature and other books belong to fiction; Non-fiction is a work based on real events and information, and its content is objective, true and independent of human will. People usually call it popular science works and knowledge books, including popular science books, papers, academic research reports, news reports, manuals and so on.

According to the vertical categories from basic concepts to methodology, we divide non-fiction books into eight categories: conceptual knowledge, principle of things, inspiring thinking, hands-on experiments, field expansion, biographies, occupation and organizational structure, and methodology. Today, I will introduce the first category: conceptual knowledge category.

1. Conceptual knowledge: Conceptual knowledge is to name and define the information we know and solve the problem of what it is. This kind of books has both very basic picture books and pure text books.

Teacher Zhu Yongxin once recommended a book "Trees" in Weibo. Books like this are all conceptual popular science books, and they combine poetry, American literature and popular science, and introduce the scientific knowledge of more than 30 kinds of trees, such as olive trees, fig trees and coastal pines, with poems, so that they can better understand some knowledge about trees.

At the same time, Teacher Zhu also specially recommended DK children's encyclopedia series. Very beautiful, and contains many series, from macro to micro, from life to the universe, using the language and pictures closest to children to establish an all-round knowledge structure. Its series includes the human body and the operation of everything. It helps children to establish a basic encyclopedic knowledge and stimulate their love for the field of knowledge.
