But, unfortunately, I didn't find it. The cost of tens of thousands of dollars is not affordable for ordinary people. At least I can't stand it. Until I discovered the charm of picture books. In the process of reading picture books with Gege, I fell deeply into it. I found that picture books have at least the following functions: (1) Promoting the harmony of parent-child relationship requires parent-child reading. Parents talk about reading, children look at pictures and listen to stories, and the daily parent-child reading time is the time for parent-child relationship to sublimate. A mother once asked me, "Can your mother listen to your story?" I said, "Of course, we only advocate parent-child planning, so that mothers can grow together in the process of accompanying their children to study." (2) Improving children's aesthetic cultivation Excellent picture books are all masters of painting from all over the world, also known as the essence of painting. Influenced by famous paintings since childhood, children can naturally improve their aesthetic taste and accomplishment imperceptibly. I basked in Gege's graffiti works on my blog a while ago. A mother said, "This child is rich in colors and must have a rich heart." At that time, I was thinking that this mother must be an artist, or a child who has studied painting for a long time. I am very grateful to her for pointing out how to appreciate children's graffiti. At the same time, Gege's inner richness should also come from the edification of picture books. (3) Stimulating children's interest in reading picture books are very suitable for designing related activities, or doing experiments, performances, handicrafts, or art, providing children with a variety of reading experiences, and it is easier to stimulate children's interest in reading. Here, I have to mention. One day, a mother came to the photo library with two children who had just entered the first grade of primary school. My mother asked me, "Do you find any difference between these two children?" I honestly replied, "No."After a while, my mother pointed to two children who were both reading books and said, "Look, this is the difference between the two children." At this moment, I saw a child sitting at his desk, reading carefully, page by page. The other stood in front of the table, with three or four books in front of him, flipping through the books quickly. In a short time, all four books were turned over. The child said, "Nothing interesting." I nodded knowingly. Mother said, "Look, this child grew up reading picture books, and he is very interested in reading pictures carefully. The child grew up listening to his mother read story books, and he couldn't sit still while reading, just kept leafing through them. That's why I want to bring this child and mother to the picture library. " It should be said that both children can read and can read independently. But the reading level is different. People who grow up with picture books can take the initiative to read pictures and establish the connection between pictures and words, so as to achieve the pleasure of reading. Children who grew up only listening to stories already know these words, but because there are not many images input from small to large, there is actually a lack of image scenes in their brains, and the imagination in reading will naturally weaken, and reading will lack the pleasure of imagination. (4) Improve children's attention and observation. When reading picture books, we always need to observe the pictures consciously or unconsciously. Otherwise, it is meaningless to read picture books. I remember one day, a mother came to the museum and took out a book and said, "Why is there so few words in this book?" How do you say this? "Yes, in my generation, we seldom touch picture books, so we don't know how to appreciate pictures. Some parents are too busy to tell stories to their children. If they want to talk about picture books, they will have a headache. Because telling a picture book story requires not only parents to tell it, but also parents to understand and appreciate it. When parents explain according to pictures, children will listen to stories while observing pictures, and establish the correlation between pictures and voice stories. At this time, children need high attention and keen observation. Over time, children can sit still while reading related books. For example, Gege, who has read The Story of the Mole in Relay Press, has 78 pages. My mouth is thirsty, but Gege is not satisfied after listening to it. Let me tell it again. I remember another mother who admired picture books talked about her reading and writing skills for 4-year-olds. She said: "How nice it is for children to read independently as soon as possible! "I don't object to early literacy, but I don't approve of deliberate early literacy. The mother said, "My children often laugh when reading books now. How good? " I said at that time: "reading is not just reading words, but also reading pictures." "4-year-old children can read and laugh, which is reading; 2-year-old children will look at pictures and laugh, which is also reading. " Reading is actually a kind of reception and response of individual senses to all kinds of information. If only reading words is reading, then the concept of reading is too narrow. It is undeniable that every adult of us can read, but how many of us can take the initiative to read? When you regard reading with your children as a task and a burden, excluding the objective factors that your work is really busy, it actually shows that you lack the interest in active reading and the ability to read deeply. Because, a mother who loves reading will find that parent-child reading is a kind of enjoyment, and her mother can also get a lot of nutrition from books for her children. (5) Cultivate the ability of language expression and creativity. The language of picture books is concise and catchy. Many picture books, we only need to tell the children four or five times, and the children can retell the story themselves with the books. Many parents think this is a good memory for their children. Actually, not exactly. In fact, when children listen to their parents' stories about reading picture books, their small eyes keep staring at the picture and connect the contents of their parents with the picture, which is also the embryonic form of thinking. After speaking and reading again and again, children not only remember what their parents said and read, but also translate their understanding of pictures into words according to pictures. This becomes the basis for children to tell stories actively. We will also find that for picture books with simple plots, children will repeat word for word, while for picture books with complex plots, children will make creative changes. It can be seen that children's memory has certain advantages in retelling picture book stories, but its creative ability can not be ignored. Because when children can't completely repeat the same thing, they will start the creative ability inside their brains to tell stories according to their own understanding of pictures, and this creative ability is exactly what we need most. (VI) Cultivating children's international vision Most picture books are the works of famous artists from all over the world, which truly reflect the culture and life of the whole world, which undoubtedly opens a window for children to enter a diversified culture. Because in these works, children can visually see the situation around the world and feel the way of thinking of people around the world, which is very easy to cultivate children's international vision. A mother once said, "It's not that I don't want to read China's original works. It's really because I read too many foreign picture books. I looked back at the original works in China and found that there were too many shoddy works. " I half agree with this mother. There are many excellent works in China's original works, but there are really few. Most children's books are made by computers. Although there are some pictures, they are difficult to copy and have no aesthetic feeling. Reading books made by computers for a long time may have little influence on adults, but the younger the children, the greater the influence. Children are the product of the environment. The younger the children, the greater the impact of the environment. What kind of books you show her, the child will become relaxed. "Picture books are the best toys, and reading is the best game!" When I found the charm of picture books, I decided to choose picture books as Gege's early education course. My heart really wants to provide Gege with excellent picture books from all over the world, so opening a picture book library has become my initial motivation, because the picture book library can not only provide Gege with a world of picture books, but also bring them to other children. Therefore, I hope my photo gallery of Sunflowers looks like this: (1) Family-style parent-child photo gallery. I want to create a family-style atmosphere to make children feel warmer and parents feel more cohesive. Sunflower Library not only has a large collection of children's books, but also a large number of parenting books for parents to borrow. After all, most of us are parents for the first time, so the Sunflower photo library is for both children and parents. I plan to hold mom salons, family education guidance and psychological counseling on a regular basis, and I will also invite well-known domestic family education experts, children writers and early reading promoters to the library for close communication and communication with mothers, so as to provide parents with an opportunity to communicate and learn from the perspectives of parenting, family education, emotional adjustment, reading and literature appreciation. In fact, at present, I find that mothers who join sunflowers, at least we all have a common goal, parent-child reading. Reading is simple, reading needs persistence, and reading also needs discussion. When our loving mothers get together, this big family is our other family. (II) Photo Gallery of Members Sunflower Photo Gallery is the photo gallery of members, and we solemnly promise: 1. Members have the right to make special purchases from the photo library. For books that you want to read but don't want to buy, as well as the extracurricular reading list provided by the school, members are welcome to provide reference books to sunflower, and we will buy them as soon as possible to facilitate members to borrow them. 2. Members have the right to submit stories to the kindergarten photo library. For members who are far away and like to listen to stories, members are welcome to apply to their schools to send stories to kindergartens. We will arrange story mothers to hold stories in the kindergartens where members are located. (3) Diversified reading experience The picture book library will regularly hold diversified reading activities such as story meetings, creative picture book teaching and fairy tale theater. Picture books are not only for reading, but also through teaching, performance, art, manual work, nature and experiment, etc., to lead children to swim in the stories of picture books, so that children can get more yuan and more comprehensive experiences in reading and activities, so that children can enjoy the artistic beauty of picture books, bring interest and artistry, stimulate children's reading interest and imagination, and enhance their ability to appreciate picture books and literary creation. (IV) Personalized Reading Guidance Picture Book Library will provide different services such as picture book introduction, picture book consultation and picture book recommendation, and will recommend corresponding picture books according to members' hobbies. Every month, we also recommend topics to members. Children of different ages and reading preferences can have fun in the process of reading picture books, find their own interests and stimulate their potential. (5) Serving ordinary families Compared with the high borrowing cost of borrowing books in the market, Sunflower Picture Library provides long-term reading plans for ordinary families at a low price of one yuan a day, and borrows four exquisite picture books. My ideal is to make sunflower picture books blossom everywhere in Ningbo community, serve the children in Ningbo for free, and let every child enjoy the right to read exquisite books. To this end, I have solemnly promised in the individual membership agreement of Picture Book House that Sun Flower Picture Book House will become a free member for life after four years of membership. Therefore, the sooner you become a lifelong member, the better for you and your children. For this promise, Sunflower is willing to do its best. Of course, Sunflower is also very willing to accept the support and donation of people of insight in various forms, so that the Sunflower photo library can go deep into every corner of Ningbo in advance. Parents are also welcome to bring idle and unwanted second-hand books to Sunflower Photo Library. We will reward the corresponding membership period. Sunflower photo library should be the first institution in Ningbo to promote early reading and parent-child reading. Our picture book house is called Sunflower Picture Book House, and our LOGO is designed with books as petals, hoping that more children will become sunflowers. Every child is a sunflower. As parents, we should provide sunny educational methods and excellent picture books for the healthy growth of children. Sunflower and I are full of enthusiasm and dreams, hoping to create the best reading time for more families. In order to realize the sunflower photo library in my mind, I will regard it as my second child and manage it with my heart. Because I run a picture book library as a mother, I am willing to treat every child who reads picture books as a mother. I hope she can be a good partner for every child. Whether it is sunny, cloudy or rainy, the day when you can read a book is sunny; No matter yesterday, today or tomorrow, a day with sunflowers is a beautiful day. Sunflower wishes all families who love parent-child reading, insist on and enjoy parent-child reading, a happy new year! I look forward to sharing with you the warm reading story of the new year!
