Language activities that educate and entertain.

Create a comfortable, interesting and relaxed reading environment that fully embodies the beauty of pictures, colors and artistic conceptions of picture books. It is conducive to stimulating children's interest in picture book reading and promoting the development of children's aesthetic emotions and aesthetic imagination.

A "Happy Book Bar" can be specially set up, and the roof of the book bar is decorated with classic picture books: "Ross the Hen Goes for a Walk", "Hare Builds a House", "Beautiful Fruit House" Picture books and stories such as "The Little Mouse in the Rice Tank" and "Can Fish Swim" make the originally cold walls vivid, wonderful and interesting. As soon as the children enter the book bar, they feel like they have entered a fairy tale. The wonderful world of this book has inspired children’s interest in reading.

Hanging "bags of books" on the wall of the long corridor and placing comfortable cartoon sofas create a comfortable reading environment that is within reach for children and can stop at any time.

You can also separate some small spaces at the end of the corridor and arrange them into "cartoon fairy tale houses", where children can choose their favorite picture books and sit on the carpet to read freely; You can also choose your favorite hand puppets and finger puppets to perform stories;

You can also pick up a paintbrush and draw the characters or storylines in your imagination to enrich the reading experience and achieve spiritual freedom and Pleasure of mind and body.

When providing picture book reading works, teachers should also consider placing different picture book stories according to the characteristics of different abilities.

For example, for children with weak abilities, we can provide picture book stories with a single picture with specific meaning and vivid images and few words; for children with strong abilities, we can provide picture book reading stories with complex pictures and many words.

You can also set up reading corners, bookshelves, etc. to constantly update reading content. Children can be allowed to bring their favorite picture books and storybooks at home at any time. At the same time, attention should be paid to providing children with sufficient time to read picture books. Ensure that children's interests are met.

2. Selected picture book content to enhance children’s reading interest

There are countless excellent picture books. How to select picture books suitable for young children among thousands of picture books? Woolen cloth?

In fact, when choosing picture book stories for children, you must fully consider the age characteristics of the children and the creative space provided by the picture book themes, so as to facilitate children's reading and creation.

Only picture books that are close to children's lives can help stimulate children's interest in reading, and also help children understand and gain useful experience. Therefore, it is necessary to choose fairy tales for young children that they can perceive and connect with their own lives.

Familiar characters and plots such as "Who's Hmm on My Head", "Rose the Hen Goes for a Walk", "A Little Bud", etc. can attract young children to enter the world of picture books and learn to read them. Integrate your own feelings into reading, thereby continuously enriching emotional experience and promoting the development of emotional abilities.

Children think mainly about concrete images, which determines that picture books for children to read need to have simple and lively and interesting plots, and single and distinctive characters.

For example, in "Sending the Big Turtle Home", the language in the story is relatively straightforward. There are not many adjectives and complex psychological descriptions. Most of them use straightforward descriptive language to narrate the plot of the story. Words The presentation is repeated, reflecting the age characteristics of small class children, and is suitable for children's reading comprehension.

3. Make good use of the advantages of multimedia to enhance children’s interest in reading

Use multimedia to stimulate children’s interest in seeing pictures and telling stories in picture book reading, and use multimedia skillfully to make the image of picture books more vivid. It is more intuitive, the colors are brighter, and the pictures are more lifelike, making picture book teaching more vivid.

Kindergarten children are young. They tend to have a strong interest in exploring intuitive and vivid objects.

Multimedia technology intuitively and vividly displays the teaching content of picture books in the form of animation through the processing of sound, shape, light and color, transforming abstraction into visualization and static into dynamic, integrating teaching and demonstration. , in the two-way transmission of colorful and changing information, it creates a beautiful, relaxed and natural learning atmosphere, making children very willing and active to participate in the reading of picture books.

For example, in the picture book "Little Mouse's Vest", from the very beginning, Little Mouse was happy and proud when he showed off his fit and beautiful little vest. When I showed this scene and introduced it step by step, the children were very amazed and kept cheering.

Next PPT playback: After the little mouse’s vest was exposed time and time again by his good friends, he felt depressed and sad when he became unsightly.

Let the children observe and describe the different expressions of the little mouse before and after, speculate on the psychological activities of the little mouse, and at the same time let the children guess what might have happened? This highlights the emotional main line in the story and allows children to quickly empathize with it, as if they are also the little mouse.

This kind of design only takes the front and back pictures and omits the pictures in the middle, which can only be realized by PPT. Another key point of emotional experience is that when all the children were still feeling sorry for the little mouse, the story suddenly took a turn. Everything was beyond everyone's expectations. The unseemly vest turned into a swing and hung on the trunk of the elephant. , and the rat boy happily swung on it. I think this is the essence of this picture book story.

In order to highlight this emotional experience, during the presentation of the PPT picture, I suddenly stopped when this key change came, deliberately letting the children stay in the previous emotional experience.

After the children fully experienced the frustration and disappointment of Little Mouse, the last PPT picture finally made its grand debut: Little Mouse’s vest turned into a swing and hung on the trunk of the elephant. Swing happily. In this way, the children were relieved of their previous gloomy emotions and became very excited. And this emotional experience is exactly the teaching effect I want to achieve.

During the activity, teachers only need to operate to intuitively and vividly demonstrate the process of teaching knowledge in a short time. This intuitive and visual teaching model greatly mobilizes children's interest in learning and improves teaching efficiency.

In short, picture book reading plays an important role in the growth and progress of life. They are an effective way for children to increase their knowledge, broaden their horizons and cultivate their sentiments. They will have a profound impact on children's reading when they enter the written language stage.
