After reading the Seeds of Happiness by Mr. Naoki Matsuju, I deeply feel that the evaluation criteria I thought were "good" are inevitably too empty. Whether it is real, can broaden our horizons, or has a taste, can touch the "sixth sense". Just like the cello tree I got before, in the process of learning, children will be immersed in it through color changes and emotional reading, feeling sad and full of hope. This is what books bring to children.
Cello tree:
Teacher Jin Yunrong said, "Why do many Parisians have certain artistic tastes? Because when they open the window, it is art. " Mr. Song Juzhi also said that letting children get in touch with good works from time to time can cultivate their appreciation of picture books, and this time, coupled with a keen sense of art and literature, is even more ideal.
Therefore, when buying books for children, you can't just think about passing on knowledge or learning words. No matter the beauty of words or art, it can subtly influence children and make them rich.
Illustrations in picture books:
Adults read books, their eyes follow the words, and children simply look at pictures. The pictures in the picture book will tell stories.
For example, "Grandpa must have a way" simply draw a mouse family at the bottom of each page, and the child will immediately point and say, "Ah! The little mouse below took the cloth, and grandpa's cloth went to the mouse's house! " Children will read stories in picture books in their own way. Because there is something in the painting, children will combine all the details to understand the meaning of the whole painting. They imagine with wild ideas, but read picture books. This is also one of the best ways to exercise your imagination.
Grandpa must have a way. Look at the following mouse family:
In the exercise camp, I have seen a series of pictures drawn by the children in the class that I can take the high-speed train myself, and I deeply feel the influence of picture books on the children in the class. The rich imagination cultivated in early childhood can be the cornerstone of children's future reading ability.
The fun of picture books:
Until now, I am very grateful to my parents for giving me a comfortable reading environment since I was a child. At that time, I only wanted China's comic book, but I enjoyed it, so I could read obscure classic books such as The Romance of Qing Dynasty and The Romance of Gods in the third and fourth grades of primary school. I think the main reason is that I find pleasure in reading.
If parents can't like picture books while reading with their children, it is difficult for children to have real interest in them.
After Fan Wen watched Seeds of Happiness 2 many times, his parents asked me to recommend picture books to him, in order to read them easily, those with big words and many pictures. They read picture books only for literacy, not to cultivate reading pleasure, reading ability and imagination through picture books. The illustrations in picture books themselves bring artistic beauty to children, especially the first-class illustrations, which are a visual enjoyment for children.
Protecting children's curiosity and encouraging them to play is what parents should do and has a decisive influence on his life. When our children see the animals in the picture book, they will have obvious contrast with the animals they actually see, which will give them the feeling of excitement, excitement and association. Some animals and plants introduced in the picture books I have seen will broaden my horizons and make up for what I can't see in real life.
If parents want their children to like picture books. The best ending is that mother likes it first. However, if the mother is too enthusiastic and takes a coercive approach, it may cause the child to resist. This is as disgusting as excessive praise. Only appropriate and heartfelt touching can touch the listener's heart.
Reading is not the same as literacy. If we can read, we should be able to read all Chinese books, no matter how difficult and professional they are. The problem is that reading the whole book does not mean that you understand the book, but that you can really understand the contents of the book, which is considered reading.
If you want to concentrate on listening to stories, you must have a unique ability to imagine invisible stories as pictures in your mind, which is commonly known as imagination. As long as you have a rich imagination, what you can't see with the naked eye can be seen with your heart. Picture books have a very close interaction with children's imagination.
Finding a rich and splendid world from a book, or extracting only limited knowledge, depends entirely on the reader's imagination, and picture books are the enlightenment tools to cultivate children's imagination.
After reading "Seeds of Happiness", I feel that Yao Yao will be six years old soon, but it is the first time for me to read "Seeds of Happiness Reading Picture Books" and think about how to read with my children for the first time.
I remember the two days when Yao first entered the park when he was three years old. She doesn't sleep at noon and always cries for her mother, accompanied by Teacher Tang. Fortunately, they found the picture books "The Birth of Dad" and "Dad's Dad Looking for Dad's Mom" (which were told to her at home before), so Teacher Tang told her. Maybe you can really blend in when listening to the story, and Yao began to silence. At noon, Yao took pains to finish listening to these two books. When the teacher pauses a little, Yao will say "Tell me more". After talking about two books for about a dozen times, his mood stabilized. Thank all Ivy League teachers for their love for their children!
I. Literacy and reading
Mr Matsuzaka wrote, "Reading is not equal to literacy. If we can read it, then as long as it is in Chinese, no matter how difficult and professional the book is, we should be able to read it from beginning to end. The problem is that reading the whole book doesn't mean you understand it. Reading is only when you can really understand the contents of the book. Literacy is only a means, not an end. "
Yao's first contact with Chinese characters was the early education series supporting toy "Chinese Character Kingdom Challenge Machine". At that time, I showed her the literacy card several times and asked her again, but I could still pronounce the words correctly. I was a little surprised at first, but later I found that the words written on the paper were strange to her. Only then did she find that she had been looking at the picture and saw a few grains of rice in the corner of her mouth and a flower in her eyes. Oh, I knew when my mother asked her, she answered "rice" and "flowers".
When telling Yao a story, I also tried to read it with my fingers. Yao is a bit xenophobic. Actually, I don't even like it myself. I always feel that I feel a lot less after reading, and it is difficult to integrate into it again, so I give up. Mr. Matsuju Naoki said: "Reading is not practice, but enjoyment. Especially when children are young, adults should pay more attention to let them study happily. " Give up other ideas in your mind, as long as children find reading interesting, that is the best.
Second, reading and imagination.
After reading this section, I feel the importance of imagination. Before, I felt that my child was not interested in attending class or was distracted in the middle. There is only one reason for "inattention", but I have never thought about the reason for this situation. Until I saw the teacher's analysis of Matsuju, "Those children who are distracted in the middle may have listened attentively to the story at first, and there was an inch mage in their minds, and even described other details, but maybe when the teacher talked about an inch mage coming to the" capital ",the children had obstacles in understanding. Because children don't know what the "capital" is and can't imagine what the capital looks like, the little mage loses the stage of performance and the story can't go on. Just like in the middle of the movie, the movie suddenly has problems, and the pictures are intermittent and unable to connect. It's not wonderful at all, and the children naturally turn their attention to other interesting things. "
Read thousands of books and take Wan Li Road. Rich imagination comes from direct or indirect experience. The more experience, the richer the imagination. Picture books can just provide children with more opportunities to experience and enrich their imagination. Some time ago, Yao Yao was fascinated by the series of books "Looking Inside", which revealed the ocean, famous palaces, underground and so on. There will be some surprises and sighs every time I finish reading it or myself. Unfortunately, I always feel that the evening time is too short. Yao has to watch another cartoon before going to bed, and he has to add a lot of why, so the time spent reading books is also reduced accordingly.
Yao likes painting, and there is no TV at home, so when she plays at home, she spends most of her time sitting at her desk drawing, and she also likes to be a teacher to teach me to draw. Picture books are an important source of her painting themes. It should also be of great benefit to train children's imagination to keep favorite pictures in mind and then show them in the form of painting.
After reading Seeds of Happiness, I have been baptized by the thoughts of outstanding educators since I taught, and I have always been impressed by those outstanding educators around me. I've always liked studying education, and I have a treasure, so I'm getting out of control and buying a lot of parenting books. Although I will inevitably make mistakes because of plagiarism, children also have their own personality, and sometimes even drive me crazy. The book "Seeds of Happiness" was presented by the bookstore when Yao Bao applied for a picture book borrowing card. I never liked foreign articles, but as soon as I got this book, I was attracted by the warm and elegant book cover and exquisite binding. Reading this book in one breath brought me infinite surprises. Because it lit a lamp for me on my once dark reading road. At that time, I was in the period of reading blindness. This book soon made me find the meaning of parent-child reading and how to choose books to accompany my children to read.
First, I understand why I should read to my children and the significance of parent-child reading.
Although we started the parent-child reading trip when Yao Bao was still in her mother's womb, we never read utilitarian. Sometimes my friends will disdainfully ask me, "Your child has read a lot of books. Let me see what special functions your child has one day? " Some friends can't help laughing at me when they see that the child has read a lot of books, but sometimes people feel that he is not "reasonable": "Are you still a teacher? How to educate children? Why doesn't this research work at all? " Hehe ..... At that time, I just gave them a shallow smile, because I knew that children's unreasonable behavior was a normal behavior in children's sensitive period, because I never regarded reading as so utilitarian, and I never expected reading to cultivate a reasonable and excellent child! I just hope to plant the seeds of reading in children's hearts and enjoy the joy and happiness of parent-child reading. As Mr. Song Juzhi said, "Picture books are of no use to children, not for learning things, but for feeling happy." Yes, I often feel that Yao Bao's mood changes with the ups and downs of the story, and I often hear Yao Bao chanting stories deeply imprinted in my memory. I think this is where happiness lies! At the same time, Song Juzhi also mentioned, "Parents tell these words to their babies sentence by sentence with their own mouths, just like sowing the seeds of language." When a seed takes root in a child's heart, an unbreakable intimate relationship is established between parents and children. What really connects parents and children is not the hukou book or the birth certificate, but those gentle and humanized words. "Although Yao Bao, who has just completed three weeks, is not fluent in language expression, he can still speak relatively standard Mandarin after growing up in various dialects of his family. Perhaps this is the happiness brought by reading! Nowadays, picture books have become a necessity in our lives. We can read books at any time in the morning, noon and evening, and the infinite fun in books is also accompanied by our daily life. As Song Juzhi said: It can bring a variety of rich language experiences, and it is also a bridge to convey affection. In short, reading is not practice, but enjoyment.
Second, how to choose a picture book.
Song Juzhi told us that a good picture book presents what children like in an interesting way, so that children can see it clearly and be deeply moved. Good picture books mainly show the true face of things, because picture books mainly make objects and pictures form a complete experience in children's hearts and learn how to express these things in words. The books we choose for our children must be in kind, not books that attract children to distort the color of the picture. At the same time, we don't need to abandon those practical picture books at all, just choose interesting picture books to read to children, so that children can feel the happiness of childhood and reading in interesting stories.
Third, how can we lead children to read picture books?
First of all, we should do it ourselves, with a more relaxed mood, regard books as interesting things and read books as happy things. Because children's growth is a process of accumulating efforts every day, it is invisible, so the best way to teach children to read is for parents to teach themselves. Secondly, read it to children with love and happiness, and like this book from the heart. Only in this way can readers convey this feeling to their children and let them enjoy the fun in the book. This is an emotional voice. Many times, I was absent-minded when I was reading to Yao Bao because of the troubles in my work and life. I thought children would be fooling around, but every time Yao Bao would "criticize" me: "Mom, study hard." At that moment, I really understood that reading is a kind of spiritual massage. Your words and deeds, your mood and children can "read". Reading to children is like traveling hand in hand to the story kingdom with children and sharing a happy time full of warm language. In addition, when parents read picture books to their children, they should try to read "pictures", not just words, because children can't read, and the way of reading books is different from that of adults. When reading a book, they first notice the illustrations in the book, and they will understand the meaning and details of the book from the illustrations, while adults see the words first and ignore the pictures, so it is difficult to reach a * * knowledge with their children. Reflecting on our life, parents sometimes lack patience, such as doing homework quickly and not watching TV ... In ordinary life, parents forget the word "soft". Only parents can bring happiness to their children and make them happy, and such parents can be regarded as real adults. As trees are, so are fruits. If the mind is compared to a garden, then parents are the gardeners of this garden. In the process of reading with my children, I actually planted the seeds of love intentionally or unintentionally.
In short, as Song Juzhi said, "If reading becomes the greatest enjoyment in children's life, then their reading volume will definitely be lamented by adults." This is the charm of reading.
Based on the above understanding of reading, as a Chinese teacher, I also have a big Chinese concept in my heart, encouraging children in my class to keep reading and guiding students how to read.
1. Keep reading for 30 minutes every day, either after meals or before going to bed.
2. Children can freely choose the books they read, and they can choose the novels they are interested in at the beginning of reading. For example, many children may be interested in Jin Yong's martial arts novels. Just choose the kind of bibliography with storyline, and the specific bibliography will be linked to you through home-school communication.
3. Book purchase: the school library borrows books, and Qian 'an Library handles library cards or online shopping.
4. Annotate and extract while reading.
5, to carry out the theme reading festival activities.
At the same time, in order to develop good habits, I also appeal to parents to help their children develop good reading habits. Because of any good habit, its formation is mandatory from the beginning. In order to cultivate students' reading habits, it is necessary to assign tasks compulsorily, and stipulate how many books, books and pages children should read a day. We should check the children's reading progress every day and let them put their bookmarks where they read yesterday. Specifically, we should do the following two things:
1, quantity regulation.
Students are generally required to read 30 pages a day. Individual underachievers with difficulties can appropriately lower their requirements.
2, to supervise. Be sure to check the implementation, not just talk but do nothing.
Whether the new words are checked in the dictionary or not, and whether the beautiful sentences are marked and recorded, all need to be checked.
Reading is the seed of happiness. Reading is a bridge to convey the soul. Reading is a pleasure. If you love your child, let him love reading. Let the seeds of happiness take root in his young mind and accompany him all his life!
After reading the Seeds of Happiness, I watched the Seeds of Happiness recommended by the Education Bureau during the holiday. As soon as I had a holiday, I bought this book at Xinhua Bookstore in Grand View Garden. After reading this book slowly, I can only say that I have benefited a lot and have a feeling of being suddenly enlightened.
I have always envied those children who can read a lot and know a lot of knowledge at an early age, and I also envy their parents. More importantly, I hope my son can do the same. Before Saisai was born, I had imagined how to raise children. Therefore, I wrote down the daily physical changes during pregnancy, such as: I felt the child moving for the first time; When to kick me and so on. After Seth was born, take at least one photo every day and write a little about the child's performance today. Although he still doesn't understand the story, he tells it to her every day. However, due to the busy work after work, this kind of thing is slowly put down. When I got home, I was exhausted and had to take care of my children. My parents were not in Jinan, and my grandparents died, so we hired a nanny to take care of the children during the day. I just want to have a good rest. I don't keep a diary and take few photos. The number of stories told to children is also decreasing.
In fact, I have always known the importance of parent-child reading, and I often buy books for my children, but I read less and less with my children. At the same time, I found that I bought books from my own point of view to consider what kind of books children should read, or I thought I was thinking about what kind of books children wanted to read from their psychology. But to be honest, every time I buy books for Saisai, it is a headache, because many times I think Saisai will like books, but he is not interested. Especially when I grow up, I usually sleep on the bookshelf, so now I go to the bookstore to buy books, only responsible for paying the money, and nothing else.
The book says: hold the child's hand and read the picture book.
"My uncle on TV doesn't hug me" ... "I have a five-year-old child who is attending kindergarten. Every night before going to bed, I will hold his hand and read him a picture book. "
I was deeply moved by this careless remark, and I couldn't help but see the boy's happiness in my mind. I regret not studying with my son like this. Always forgive me for being tired. Go and see for yourself and send your son away. As we all know, children need not only books and stories, but also an expectation of emotional communication and sharing. Parent-child reading is not just a "book", but a kind of affection.
The book also said: reading is a kind of enjoyment.
Children who have fully enjoyed the fun of picture books will soon enter the next reading stage. Some children can enjoy reading soon, and some children need the help of adults. Reading is not a race, nor can it be determined by speed. If the mother is anxious or upset, it will only affect the child's mood when reading.
It is not only meaningless but also harmful for parents to keep urging their children to study. Reading is a pleasure, not the face of parents. Children should be surrounded by interesting books, not books that parents think are useful to their children. In this way, children can fully enjoy reading. Try to create happiness and anger when adults and children read together, because this is the best reading guide. In short, reading should be a pleasure for children.
Usually, we can stand in the position of children and enjoy getting along with them. However, once you realize that your child is different from others' children, your mind will be unbalanced. The important reason is that I can't stand my "face". When you disturb the rhythm of children's development to adapt to the rhythm of others, we have failed our children subconsciously. The key is: did the child fail, or were we always there during the child's development? Why just urge the children? Why not bend down and reflect on yourself-for example, the gap between me and other parents? How can you use the phenomenon of "fast" or "slow" mentioned above to deny the children's efforts all the time? !
Therefore, before writing, in front of anything, parents should be calm and rational, be able to see the phenomenon clearly and see the possible reasons behind it. In fact, blindly urging reflects your own failure and inaction.
I have passed the best period of parent-child reading. Young parents should seize this period and read with their babies.
