Finally, I can calm down and sort out the contents of the discussion held by Shanghai Herring Baby Early Education Center on the eve of Mother's Day. Presumably, friends who are far away from home and can't come to this activity must be very anxious. Experts attending the forum included Xie Aishi, chairman of the Taipei Story Association of Taiwan Province Province; President Cai Ling, Secretary General of Taiwan Province Teaching Resources Society; Gao, editor-in-chief of For Children magazine; Zhong Ling, a teacher of the Early Childhood Education Center for Herring Baby. 1. How old can children start to guide reading? When the child is in the mother's belly, you can give him reading education-that is, stories. Telling stories to children is also the starting point to guide children to like reading. 2. How to tell stories to children? When parents tell stories to their children, they adhere to the following principles: a. Simply speaking, they are "telling stories", not telling stories to "teach" children to be polite, filial and study hard ... Children are very smart, and after several times, children will begin to reject their parents' "didactic" stories. B. It is suggested to adopt an "interactive" storytelling method, that is to say, when telling stories to children, children should be encouraged to interrupt and put forward their own views, so that stories can become a medium for parent-child communication. 3. Many mothers feel that they have a bad voice and don't speak as well as the announcer in the story tape. Some of them are lazy. Can children listen to story tapes to tell stories instead of their parents? I don't approve of using this kind of "tape" instead of parents reading stories to their children. Even reading stories with your mouth open is better than letting children listen to "story tapes", because reading a book with children is an excellent opportunity for parents to accompany, guide, assist and listen to their inner voices. Don't miss it. You can record the sound of telling stories to children and make a "home" story tape, which is more valuable than the tapes sold in the market. 4. Let the children read the story, ok? You don't need to teach word by word, you can point out the words you read with your hands when telling a story. After reading for a long time, children will naturally recognize it. Some picture books have no unified conclusions, so do you have to tell them these conclusions? How to teach these educational things to children? Don't ignore the child's "wisdom", you can guide the child to observe and think about the meaning in the book, and don't "preset" some conclusions to instill in the child's head. Children's conclusions and observations often scare their parents. 6. What if the child doesn't understand? Sometimes, after reading two pages, I stop reading. Is this bad? Does he have to sit and finish reading a book? Parents should not be greedy, let their children read and understand slowly with him at their own speed, and make reading a "happy" reading seed. It may not blossom and bear fruit in a short time, but I don't know when it will have a significant impact on his life. 7. Why do children only like one book? Don't like other picture books. Do you always tell him this book as he wants? There must be a reason why children only like one book-because when parents read it for the first time, it was wonderful? Like the pictures or stories in it? Are you particularly interested in cars or dinosaurs in the book? We can observe his specialty from his favorite books and guide him to find books related to this book, such as the same author, books about cars and dinosaurs and so on. , naturally expanded the books he read. 8. How to choose books for children? Do you have to give priority to children's likes? Not exactly. You can ask your child to choose one or two books he likes, and your parents also choose one or two books, and then discuss with each other "what's good about the books you choose?" 9. How about choosing a picture book without words? Or a picture book with words? For younger children, it is recommended to focus on pictures and less words; After entering the third grade, the picture and the word each account for half; After the fifth grade, the number of words can be increased to two thirds of the whole book. 10. Picture books are bilingual. Is this picture book good? No, the words will be too small, which will affect your eyesight and the effect of "happy" reading.
