I was a bookworm, and my material living conditions as a child were not as good as today, but the birthday present I asked my parents for at that time was books. The children's books I can remember now are children's literature, story kings, intelligence and so on. When I was a student, I liked to spend weekends in the bookstore. If I don't need to have lunch, I can stay in the bookstore all day, and I gradually get into the habit of buying books. I seldom borrow books from the library. For me, I prefer to have a good book rather than borrow it. Reading a book doesn't mean the end of the book's mission. I often watch it, and I can learn new things by reviewing the old ones. Reading a good book should run through my life.
From picture books to simple children's books, to masterpieces of children's literature at home and abroad, and to China's four classical novels, children's interest in reading is getting stronger and stronger, and more and more fields are involved. I also try my best to meet her reading needs, and the child's choice of reading is not deliberate. Maybe it's because of my curiosity at my age. Even the Bible stories I bought are read with relish. You know, when I was her age, I tried to read the Bible. At that time, I just felt mysterious and bored. I just turned over a few pages and gave up. This child is more energetic than when I was a child.
Reading is not death. I often remind her to pay more attention to extracting good words and sentences from books. Good sentences must be memorized, especially ancient Chinese, which is the essence of China culture. The essence of Chinese lies in the classics of ancient Chinese, and the beauty of ancient Chinese is beyond our present vernacular Chinese. Only when a view of ancient prose stops can we appreciate the exquisiteness of ancient prose and read it appropriately.
Reading should also pay attention to methodology, especially some classic works. Simple reading may be boring, so it is best to read with emotion. Entering the role to read can better understand the essence of the article and feel the spiritual infiltration brought by language. For example, Guo Moruo's Ode to Lei Dian uses a lot of repetition, parallelism and rhetorical questions to achieve the greatest lyric effect, which is touching and inspiring. The sentence itself has the formal beauty and rhythm of poetry, and the language is magnificent, catchy and powerful. It is not enough to read such an article, because the child's mother is engaged in literature and art, so it is better to guide the child to read aloud and express Ode to Lei Dian in the form of drama than to read silently, which is helpful to truly grasp the main idea of the article. Today, some paragraphs of Lei Dian Nord can still be easily read by children. Actually, she didn't mean to recite it. A dramatic expression has been deeply imprinted on her mind.
Reading is definitely an active process. It is better to force children to read than not to read. Only by taking the initiative to read can they enjoy reading, otherwise it will be counterproductive. The tighter the parents push, the heavier the children's antipathy, and the less the pressure of primary school learning. This period is also the most curious age for children. There is no need to deliberately delimit the reading range, as long as children are interested in healthy and upward reading materials, they can use them to read. This period is the key to cultivate children's reading habits and interests. For a time, children liked poetry, so they chose Xu Zhimo's works. If she is interested, she will naturally put it down. Take her to travel to Xinjiang, and don't forget to put Xu Zhimo's poems in your backpack. Interest is the best teacher. It's true.
In addition to interest, parents should give appropriate guidance, give more hints and ask more questions in the reading process, and see if children understand or skim. In fact, all extensive reading is always a cursory tour for every reader. Unless some sentences touch the depths of your soul or are closely related to your life, you won't forget them. For children who are not deeply involved in the world, most articles, especially ancient classics, are hard to impress when they are read for the first time. Proper guidance from parents will make them remember sentences that they have difficulty understanding. For example, The Journey to the West's opening words: "Chaos divides heaven and earth, and no one can see it. Since Pangu broke the HarmonyOS system, it has opened the distinction between clear and turbid. It has been repeated that many people admire benevolence and everything becomes better when they invent it. If you want to know what nature can do, you must look at western biographies. " Eight seven-character poems have a Buddhist flavor. This sentence pattern is a bit difficult for children, but it is definitely the opening theme of this famous book. I advocate that children recite first and gradually understand the truth with their growing experience. For example, in the first Journey to the West, there is a particularly refined sentence that describes how time flies. Once I asked my child if he remembered anything, and he didn't know why. This sentence is actually "there is no armor in the mountains, and the cold does not know the year." In just ten words, it brought the carefree years when the stone monkey came out of the mountain. This is the subtlety of ancient Chinese prose. Children often don't understand the usage of the date of official support in ancient China culture, so they can't understand the meaning of this sentence. Of course, they can't remember, so they need their parents to explain and guide them.
Parents must play an exemplary role in guiding their children to learn. It is hard to imagine that in a family, if parents don't study, children will fall in love with reading. The so-called scholarly family is that the habit of reading needs to be passed down. I am a bookworm. As a student, I have been buying my favorite books one after another. After economic independence, I have been tirelessly collecting my favorite books. Every room in the house is filled with all kinds of books, and you can get them at any time. Children have also developed the habit of being able to enter the reading state at any time. I often see her rushing into the bathroom with a book in her hand. Although from a medical point of view, reading like this is not good for my health, I have not deliberately corrected this "bad habit". It is said that Chairman Mao has such a habit, and it is also an honor to be consistent with Chairman Mao's habit.
