Since the candy bag went to kindergarten, the teachers in the kindergarten class will let the children read books and punch in every day. At first, I didn't take it seriously either. On the contrary, I think that for illiterate children, asking them to read and punch in too early will make her have a rebellious attitude towards books and stories in them, which will affect her conscious reading in the future, so I didn't urge the sugar bag to read and punch in. However, teachers will give certificates to children who insist on reading for about 50 days as encouragement. Seeing that she didn't get the license, Sugar Bag went home and asked me why she didn't get the license. I have to say, I'm sorry I didn't urge you to read and punch in. In order to satisfy the desire of the sugar bag to get the certificate, she began to urge her to read and punch in.
That is, at this time, I just finished reading Zhan Qingyun's "I will be reluctant to part while I am young". Zhan Qingyun said in her autobiography that when she was about 4 years old, she could be the story machine of The Journey to the West's Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Only then did I finally realize the advantages of reading compared with watching cartoons.
First, reading, you can learn words that you can't learn in cartoons.
All works will go through a creative stage. Take the creation process of the TV series Queen in the Palace as an example: 1, you have to write the novel Queen in the Palace first; 2. Adapting the novel into a script; 3. Disassemble the script of each episode into various schemes, such as lighting scheme, clothing scheme, character modeling scheme and so on; 4. According to this plan, people and the environment are shot into the lens; 5. Post-editing scheme and so on. This creation must start with words, and the use of words runs through the whole process. It can be said that without good words, there will be no subsequent series of actions, so good words must be available first.
If you want to write something interesting, you need a lot of vocabulary accumulation. Comics analyze a large number of sentences describing scenery and characters in the novel, and make them concrete into scenery configuration and characters' clothing, so we can't learn the expression of such words from comics. For example, in The Journey to the West's book, the phrase "the Monkey King went to Sanxingdong to learn from Bodhi" will be explained in detail, but in comics, the word "Sanxingdong" will only be engraved in the set arranged for shooting TV series. If a child who watches cartoons can't learn this knowledge point without watching it carefully, it will be difficult for her to tell the story vividly when she wants to repeat it through her own mouth.
Therefore, a child who watched the cartoon of Journey to the West will not know that the Monkey King's first master was the Bodhi ancestor who lived in Sanxingdong, while a child who read the book of Journey to the West will know that the Monkey King traveled across the ocean and went through all kinds of hardships to pay homage to the Bodhi ancestor in Sanxingdong, Lingtai, Xiniu Hezhou, where he learned seventy-two changes and learned the skills of a somersault.
See the difference? After watching cartoons, children will have pictures in their minds, but pictures can't be output through daily behavior unless we learn painting specially for this purpose. And the way we ordinary people interact with the world the most is oral or written expression. Learning children's minds are full of vivid words, which can be described through their mouths or written words. When these words come out of their mouths, or flow down from their words, they constitute their expressive force.
Second, reading can enhance memory.
Reading here refers to adults reading to children. Usually I look at Journey to the West like this: When I got off the bus, Tang Priest and his disciples went west. Sweet baby, why did they go all the way west? At this time, the sugar bag will sing "Learn from the Buddhist paradise, and when you leave, it will be just a few Wan Li, what monsters, what beautiful women painted skins, what daoshanhuohai, what trap tracks can't stop the wishful stick and escort the master and the apprentice to the Buddhist paradise". She told me, because they went to the West for Buddhist scriptures.
Speaking of "Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon", there is a saying that "the Monkey King knew this girl was a monster at a glance", so he asked "How did the Monkey King know this girl was a monster at a glance"? Sugar bag gently touched his temple with index finger and thought for a moment. "Well, it's a golden eye.". "How was the Monkey King's golden eye made?" It was refined in Taishang Laojun blast furnace for 7749 days.
It's too difficult to read a book for a sugar bag. Obviously, if I can finish reading this book in 1 minute, it will take1minute to finish reading a candy bag. This is just one paragraph. Every time she opens a new story, she will point to Tang Priest, Bai, the Monkey King, Pig Bajie and Friar Sand. I have to let her review the Monkey King's skills, what weapons he used, where his hometown is, whether Hong Haier is a fire cloud cave, what is Hong Haier's fire, what skills he has, and what weapons Zhu Bajie used.
After reviewing again and again, Sugar Bag can now know a lot about the characters, places and storylines in The Journey to the West. For example, the old gentleman in Taishang has a gossip image on his head, and Venus in Taibai has Venus on his head. The Monkey King's first teacher was Bodhi, his hometown was Sanxingdong in Fangcun Mountain, and the Monkey King's hometown was water curtain cave in Huaguoshan. His weapon is the golden hoop, and he learned the skills of somersault cloud and seventy-two changes from Bodhi. Pig's weapon is a nine-toothed rake, Guanyin Bodhisattva is from the South China Sea, and so on.
So, why can reading enhance memory?
Third, reading can exercise children's expressive ability.
When reading the book "Learning Early Education from American Kindergarten Teachers", I learned that the language organization ability, vocabulary, imagination, continuity and logic used in storytelling are all indicators of Chinese ability, and storytellers also need to have good memory and strong logical thinking ability. When telling stories, we should mobilize almost all the cognitive abilities needed in the learning process.
Yes, for a 3-or 4-year-old child, expressiveness is the ability to tell stories. If she can internalize the stories told by adults into vivid and concrete words, and then retell the stories with the language organization and logic she has mastered before, she can become a master of expression.
This is the ability that watching cartoons can't give children. In other words, most parents regard watching cartoons as children's entertainment rather than a learning process. If parents can watch cartoons with their children as they do with their children, I believe that the process of watching cartoons can also help children learn a lot.
After all, it is still a question how much time parents are willing to spend with their children.
