What problems should we pay attention to when reading picture books?
Real reading is a creative activity —— On the problems that should be paid attention to in picture book reading: reading is an activity of "reading" or "reciting" written materials and extracting and explaining the meaning from them. It can be seen that reading activity is the transition from the words seen to the words spoken. In this process, we don't say the original text mechanically, but use our own words to understand and transform the sentences and paragraphs of the original text, thus turning the original ideas into our own thoughts. Therefore, reading has many functions such as seeking knowledge, moral education, enlightenment, aesthetics, fitness and entertainment. Mr. Dai Ruqian from the Institute of Curriculum and Textbooks of Central Institute of Education clearly stated: "Reading as soon as possible is everything!" It is generally believed that it is very important to form early reading interest, cultivate reading habits, master preliminary reading methods and have preliminary reading ability in early childhood. It is clearly pointed out in the outline that children's interest in books, reading and writing should be stimulated through books and paintings, and their pre-reading and pre-writing skills should be cultivated. Early reading refers to children's activities to understand pictures-based infant books with the help of colors, images, adult language and words. Creative reading aims at forming readers' own original ideas. It is the most advanced reading full of vitality and personality, and it is also the most difficult reading. Cultivating children's independent and creative reading ability is the most basic goal of reading teaching. It can be seen that reading teaching is devoted to stimulating and maintaining children's reading motivation and interest, and at the same time guiding children's reading ability in a planned way according to their age characteristics and personality differences. First, in the process of reading, children fully enjoy reading. American writer Mao Mu once said, "Reading should be a kind of enjoyment." For illiterate children, they will not let go of the hidden details in the picture book, which is permeated with the author's love and childlike innocence, and some details are closely related to the theme. Without these details, the work will lose its thought-provoking power. Mr. Matsujuzhi, the father of a famous Japanese picture book, accurately described the painter's "intention": "Experienced painters, painters who know children's eyes very well, often play tricks in picture books ... Who will find out? With this in mind, the painter smiled and left a secret mark on the reader. " Picture Book is such a brand-new reading, which has quietly entered the sight of kindergarten teachers and parents. Picture books are children's books which are interwoven with colorful and exaggerated pictures and a few simple sentences, telling a story and expressing specific emotions and themes. In picture books, pictures are no longer embellishments, but the lifeblood of books. Some picture books even have no words. Only paintings can tell stories. It is the perfect combination of literature and visual arts. The art and wisdom it contains greatly enriches children's imagination, has a profound enlightening effect on children's emotions and aesthetics, and is the source of children's happy reading. For example, in the teaching of the picture book David Can't, the pictures in the picture book are exaggerated and interesting, and the words are interspersed less. We can make full use of pictures for children to observe and guess: How did David get dirty? What can he do? What's he thinking? The children's speeches are very positive, and they are willing to express their guesses boldly. When I told my children the answer, the children who guessed correctly cheered loudly, experienced the pleasure of success and inspired their reading enthusiasm. Therefore, in teaching, free children's hands, give children room for imagination, and let children really feel a good painting. Its wonderful presentation often has a wonderful scene without painting. The touching part of a good article is often to understand the meaning through words, without chapters or sentences. Second, in the process of reading, children gradually form skills and skills. Locke, a British educator, said: "A tutor should remember that his job is not to give students everything that can be known in the world, but to make students love and respect knowledge and let students adopt appropriate methods to seek knowledge and improve themselves." Mr. Ye Shengtao once said: "One of the reasons for insufficient reading is that there is too little reading. Reading is illegal, especially an important one." It can be seen that it is one of the important parts of reading teaching to let children master skills and techniques. Any story contains six elements: time, place, people, the cause, process and result of the event. Time and place are important elements of the story, and they are the basis and premise of the development of events and the unfolding of plots. Teachers guide children to observe and understand images and visual signs to convey the information of time and place. For example, the sun represents the day, the moon and stars represent the night, a small umbrella represents the rain, and supermarkets represent all kinds of goods. The main plot of a story often revolves around the main characters, so the main characters in the story will occupy the main position in the book and their images will be more prominent. In the process of reading, teachers should help children identify the protagonist in the story through observation, enter the world of picture stories, help children interpret the expressions of characters, guess the psychology of characters, and promote children to have a deeper understanding of the plot and theme of the story. For example, in "The Phone in Spring", the teacher tells the story vividly and completely while showing the homemade big book, and guides the children to understand the time when the story happened-spring; Location-forest; Characters-bear → squirrel → white rabbit → frog → fox; The cause of the story-the bear who slept all winter was awakened by thunder and opened the window to watch "spring"; The story goes through-the good news of "spring is coming" (snow, grass green, ice, insects crawling out and flowers blooming) is transmitted among small animals by telephone; The result of the story-the little animals felt the beauty of spring and thanked the bear who called first to spread the news. Through the teacher's guidance, children can also feel the beautiful hearts and happy emotions of small animals, and realize the feelings of mutual care of small animals. Third, in the process of reading, create game situations and reproduce stories. When reading arouses strong emotions, children often react to pictures through role-playing and body movements. Teachers can create game scenes (costumes, props, headdresses, etc. ) Guide children to perform different roles according to the storyline and roles. Children's language, expressions and actions enter the story situation through various senses. At this time, the child will change from a listener to a player. In the game situation, children do not exist in isolation. They sometimes respond with their own unique actions or simple language. They combine action and language to express their understanding of the story. Fourth, in the process of reading, cherish children's feelings and experiences. Reading is a pure dialogue and interaction between children and texts. The process of reading is the process of cultural transmission and spiritual transmission, and the process of "text" and "I" responding and communicating. When I was talking about "Little Crow Who Loves Mom" in the language field of the middle class, I made preparations before class: I created a wall decoration with the theme of "Mom loves me, I love mom". Let the children collect my mother to feed me, bathe and dress; Sleep with me and play with me; Pictures that taught me to walk and write. At the same time, use Miller's Feed the Birds to guide the children to observe the picture: the father of the distant child is working in the field; In the picture, nearby mothers take turns to feed three children sitting on the threshold. Let the children know that "I" grew up like this. Before the children listened to the story, I asked a question. Who did the crow meet when looking for bugs? What did they say? Why doesn't mother crow catch worms and eat them herself? Mom is old, what should we do? Finally, I finished the theme wall decoration in the form of painting, and I worked for my mother. Let children feel the beauty and happiness of the family, understand that love and being loved are a kind of happiness, and incorporate emotional education into language activities. Fifth, in the process of reading, develop and publicize children's personality. The new Chinese curriculum standard points out: "Reading is students' personalized behavior, and teachers' analysis should not replace students' reading practice. Children should be allowed to deepen their understanding and experience, feel and think in positive thinking and emotional activities. Influenced by emotion, I get ideological enlightenment and enjoy aesthetic pleasure. We should cherish students' unique feelings, experiences and understanding. " Therefore, in early childhood, we should not only pay attention to the influence of language field, but also pay attention to the value orientation of reading content, and also respect the unique experience of children in the learning process. "Unique" means different, that is, personalized interpretation. "Unique experience" fully embodies children's understanding and perception of the works. "Reading a book together, each leading the way" tells the true meaning of reading. Only in this way can reading be vivid and personalized. For example, in Harry Potter, some children read wisdom; Some children read books about magic; Some children read about friendship; Some children read Justice ... Reading is a window for children to know the world and becomes a dynamic process of thinking collision and spiritual communication. Set aside a little time to read every day, make reading a habit, and let children savor the taste of books. Mo Luoya, a famous French writer, once said, "Everyone who guides reading methods has the power to enlarge himself, enrich his lifestyle and make his life rich, meaningful and interesting." This is really creative reading.
