How to open parent-child reading for babies under 3 years old?

This is a topic that novice mothers are very concerned about.

For all mothers who care about early parent-child reading as much as I do, I present my baby's first set of picture books that should not be missed.

Yoko Sasaki's bear baby picture book series.

This set of books has sold over 10 million copies, and it is the treasure of the town library of Popland Photo Library. It is said that more than 500 sets of "Baby Bear" enter more than 500 families every day, becoming the first set of picture books in the baby's life. The sales figures are really impressive. What are the books about this hot mom circle?

Baby Bear is a life picture book, which is very close to children's daily life and perfectly combined. The complete set of 15 books perfectly combines life skills and emotional cognition such as eating, sleeping, bathing, going to the toilet, brushing teeth, dressing, greeting and making friends. Children can find solutions to problems encountered in each period, which is very suitable for children under 3 years old to read. If you want to choose a set of books as a child's early education enlightenment, this set of books is perfect!

Next, I will make an interpretation for you from the theme, animal image, language and detail design of this book. Let's see why this set of books is good and where it is!

As we said above, Baby Bear is a picture book that is very close to children's daily life. It covers eating, drinking, sleeping and, of course, the play of babies. It covers everything. When choosing books for your baby, it is strongly recommended that you choose children's books that are close to your child's life.

Because infants' cognitive and understanding abilities are limited, only the content closest to their daily life can arouse their interest in reading. When the baby sees the familiar things around him appear in the picture book, it can not only bring the baby a sense of security and intimacy, but also make it easier to understand.

If you see this book, you will be attracted by the baby bear on the cover. It's so cute. It looks like our baby. You know, the prototype of this bear is the picture book creator Yoko Sasaki's eldest son when he was two years old.

Yoko Sasaki once said, "That chubby bear drew my eldest son when he was two years old. At that time, I would put my child to sleep, draw for a while before he woke up, and get up at three o'clock every morning to draw. Although he is now 30 years old and has his own family, every movement and expression of his childhood are clearly printed in my mind. "

It can be seen that in the anthropomorphic design of this bear, the author must have done enough work and devoted his mother's love and hard work.

Do you know that?/You know what? Bears can be said to be superstars in picture books or children's books. In anthropomorphic writing, bears are the easiest animals to manage and be intimate with. Especially "Little Bear", their bodies are short and round, and they have a good sense of humor. They move slowly, just like toddlers. The overall image of the bear will make children feel kind. Taking a bear as the protagonist can easily remind children of themselves. Simply put, the protagonist of the picture book has a sense of intimacy and is easy for children to agree with.

The children in the book Baby Bear will have a sense of substitution when reading it, as if they were the cute little bear, experiencing everything that happened in the book.

After the introduction of these two parts, you should have mastered the biggest secret of making your baby fall in love with reading, that is, making them feel kind, familiar and have the right to speak.

Baby bear's stories are mostly in the form of questions and answers. Similar sentence patterns appear repeatedly, and the rhythm is very clear. With the action of turning pages, children will find it very interesting.

Here's an example. Look at the book Hello.

Hello, bird, bird! Hello, bear!

Hello, hedgehog! Hello, bear!

Hello, little mole! Hello, bear!

……

This language is very simple and interactive. The story uses few words from beginning to end, mainly simple questions and answers. So that the baby can easily participate.

In the process of listening to stories repeatedly, it is easy for children to remember stories and apply them to life scenes. After doing the same thing, children will say and do it, and children will think: What will they say when they meet good friends? Say hello. The appearance of a bear will also come to my mind clearly.

If language, pictures and life experience form such a ring, the next time a child reads a picture book, the pictures will overlap with the actual life experience, and they will be clearly formed and play a role in the child's mind. With this kind of practical experience, picture books can show infinite charm, become really interesting things, and gradually enter children's lives. This is the charm of "life picture book".

In addition, the rich onomatopoeia words in Baby Bear are very close to the babies' language habits of "vocal games", which will stimulate their interest in imitation and play.

The theme and plot of this book may seem very simple and naive to us adults, but simplicity does not mean that there is no design intention. If you look carefully, you will find many details in it, some of which you didn't even notice when you first read it.

Let's take the book Baba as an example to see what rich and readable details there are.

Baba's story is simple. Little bear was playing with a twister, and suddenly his stomach was upset. Ah, just the feeling of poop. Bear is in a hurry to find the toilet. Ah, the little mouse wants to go to the toilet. Keep looking. Ah, the rabbit needs to go to the toilet, and then look. Ah, the little gorilla has to go to the toilet ... he's suffocating. The last toilet, the elephant just came out. Bear can finally go to the toilet.

The story is not very simple, but you can find two clues buried by the author through the picture, which are constantly promoting the development of the story.

Clue-Bear's Behavior

Guide the baby to observe how the bear's expression changes during the process of finding the toilet. Is it getting more and more painful He frowned and bent down to cover his stomach. He really wants to go to the bathroom.

Another clue-what are the animals doing in the toilet?

The first round: the mouse is sitting on the toilet, the second round: the rabbit is taking toilet paper, the third round: the gorilla is flushing, and the fourth round: the elephant is washing its hands. Four rounds together to see if it is the process of going to the toilet.

Is it interesting to compare two clues? The bear is more and more anxious to find the toilet, and the behavior of animals in the toilet is quietly reminding us that we will find the toilet soon.

There are many such interesting details. It is strongly recommended that you start with a set and look for interesting details with your baby.

In the last part, I want to share some good ways to read with my baby. In this part, I will tell you how to tell Baby Bear's picture book to the baby.

This method is very simple and easy to understand, that is, reading the text to the children.

The words in the picture book are carefully designed, catchy and rhythmic to read! The baby is sitting in his mother's arms, listening to his mother read picture books and looking at these interesting pictures. Is there anything warmer and better than this?

When reading aloud, it would be great if you can let go of yourself, exaggerate your tone, make your tone fluctuate obviously, and be full of emotions, coupled with exaggerated expressions and actions. The children will be attracted by your funny reaction.

The publisher of Baby Bear picture books is very considerate. There are thoughtful reading guidance suggestions on the copyright page at the back of each book. Don't miss it when mom and dad are watching it.

We can play with the baby and let the baby join the picture book. ...

The bird says "hello" and the bear says "hello". Let's stop here, look at the baby and guide the children to interact. We can say, "Baby, what did the bear say?" The first two episodes are repetitive. Maybe the child hasn't entered the role yet. Follow the interaction, we can answer "hello" loudly with the baby! After playing it twice, the baby will understand: Oh, that's how this game is played. She can play this role automatically. At this time, we can give the initiative to the baby. When answering "hello", our voice will gradually weaken, so that the baby can answer "hello" loudly.

Of course, you can also change the bear into the baby's name, and apply the story to become the baby's exclusive picture book. In short, there are many ways to play picture books. I'll show you here, and you can find more fun ways to play!

As we said earlier, the bear baby picture book belongs to the life picture book and is very close to the baby's life scene. Take a shower, brush your teeth, wear shorts and so on.

Picture books present these life scenes in an interesting way, which will make the baby feel very kind, interesting and fun. And through the form of picture books, vividly show these life skills to children, such as how to brush your teeth and take a bath.

This set of books can be said to be a great set of early teaching, teaching children these life skills in an interesting way.

Then we can use these books in our lives.

Take the book Bath as an example.

The language of this book is very simple, with a good sense of rhythm, and most of them are repetitive words.

We can sing it with a simple melody.

I often sing like this when I take a shower. ...

Take a shower, take a shower!

Let's take a bath.

Wipe soap and bubbles! Bubble bubble.

Small belly, bubble, bubble

Little ass, Bubble, Bubble.

Small head, bubble, bubble
