How to stimulate primary school students' interest in reading

The "new curriculum standard" also emphasizes students' extracurricular reading, attaches importance to language accumulation, and makes clear provisions on students' reading volume. Therefore, in the usual education and teaching, students are encouraged to read more extracurricular books, and even assigned some reading tasks, but it is often embarrassing. "Teacher, there are many books to read at home." "Teacher, I don't know what books to buy." "Teacher, I forgot to read it." For the above reasons, a large basket has been accumulated after one semester, but only a handful of them can insist on reading after class every day. In view of this, I often think about how to do reading teaching. There is only one answer, that is, to stimulate children's interest in reading, guide children to do extensive extracurricular reading, guide children to navigate, and let children travel in the vast sea of books. Once students are interested in reading, they will be in a highly conscious state in the process of reading and will learn with amazing perseverance. Therefore, I constantly change means to stimulate students' interest in reading.

1. Use stories skillfully to stimulate reading interest.

Stories are children's favorite literary forms and the gateway for children to know the world. Children's extracurricular reading should start with the stories they are most interested in, and gradually cultivate their reading ability from listening to stories, reading stories and telling stories.

I remember once, I told the students the story of "grouse and tortoise". When I told them that the tortoise plucked all the feathers of the grouse with the consent of the grouse, so that the grouse could stay in the cave and play with them all day. In this way, the grouse can't fly away, and their purpose has been achieved. But one day, just as they were having fun, suddenly, the weasel jumped into the hole, jumped on the grouse and bit its neck. ...

Just as the children listened with relish, were depressed and looked forward to the end, the teacher suddenly stopped and said to the students:

The next one is even more exciting. The students are eager to know the result.

I asked them to guess the ending first. After denying their answers one by one, I showed them the book Arabian Nights and told them that if I wanted to know the result, I would borrow this book, which contained more wonderful stories. The story of students being detained aroused great interest and asked to borrow books. In this way, the listener can feel the temptation of extracurricular reading in the wonderful realm brought by the story and take the initiative to read. This effect is probably more effective than any preaching.

Teachers should always introduce some characters, content outlines or wonderful fragments to students purposefully and in a planned way to stimulate students' desire to "see the original for details". For example, after teaching the little match girl, the teacher can introduce Andersen's fairy tales. After learning Helen Keller, the teacher can introduce "If you give me three days of light"; After learning "Einstein and the Little Girl", students can look up information and learn about Einstein's life and story ... so students will be inspired by interest, ask to borrow books to read, and feel the charm of famous books and the art of splendid culture in reading. Practice has proved that only by cultivating students' interest in extracurricular reading can students change from asking me to reading.

2. Create a reading environment

As we all know, a good environment is the premise of promoting students' all-round development and can play the role of "moistening things quietly". Teachers should make full use of all available conditions to create a good reading environment for students. Reading environment includes hard environment and soft environment. The so-called hard environment is to create good external reading conditions, such as: providing a book reading room, storing enough books to read, and configuring a desk with sufficient capacity; Slogans about reading are posted on the walls of the classroom. These slogans can be seen everywhere in Chinese textbooks, such as "study hard, study hard", "endless mountains and waters, endless seas and oceans", "endless reading, writing like a god" and so on. A large number of slogans are full of students' vision, and often seeing or reading them will arouse students' great interest in reading. So what is a soft environment? Soft environment is a beautiful emotional atmosphere established by teachers in reading communication with students. For example, teachers' recognition and affirmation of students' reading achievements. In my years of teaching work, I have always spared no effort to praise students with rich extracurricular knowledge. "Little book fan", "little doctor", "idiom king" and "dictionary pass" have become my nicknames for these students.

Secondly, as teachers, we should try our best to make students easy to read. The so-called easy reading is to let students read without too much demand and pressure. There are always some teachers, but whenever the extracurricular reading task is assigned, it will be accompanied by a series of reading assignments such as reading training questions and reading exercises, which will make students daunting. I don't think this is desirable. We should let students engage in reading activities easily and let them enjoy the beauty of reading, rather than reading for the sake of reading. Interest in reading should be cultivated from the lower grades. Children in lower grades are less literate and afraid of reading. If the teacher puts forward too many reading requirements, he will flinch from reading. Children's age is characterized by better memory than comprehension. If this feature is made clear, teachers should lower the requirements of understanding and not seek one step at a time.

Accumulation is an important way to learn Chinese well. The ancients put it well: "Read 300 Tang poems, even if you can't write one" and "Read thousands of books and write like a god". These reading experiences also tell us the importance of accumulation. Children's memory is in its heyday, and teachers should make great efforts to guide students to read extensively and accumulate more. As long as students are willing to study, no matter how big or small their gains are, teachers should give them strong praise.

3. Rich extracurricular activities are also beneficial to stimulate students' interest in reading.

In the process of reading, if you let yourself go, you will definitely not get any practical results. Therefore, carry out "story telling", "reading briefing" and "excellent reading notes exhibition and evaluation".

Vivid and diverse extracurricular activities such as "handwritten newspaper", "knowledge contest", "information consulting contest" and "poetry recitation contest" can effectively check the reading situation, consolidate the reading results, let students enjoy the fun of reading, stimulate students' interest and enthusiasm in reading, mobilize students' reading enthusiasm and promote extracurricular reading step by step.

In so many forms of extracurricular activities, what interests students most is "telling stories". Therefore, according to the characteristics of students, we teachers can use "story transfer" to cultivate students' interest in extracurricular reading, thus promoting the extension and development of students' interest in extracurricular reading and inspiring students to read consciously.

Everyone loves to listen to stories, especially primary school students. When the teacher tells a story, they will stand up straight, erect their ears, their eyes will flash with excitement, and their mouths will show a sweet smile, listening with relish. So at this time, the teacher tells stories and recommends extracurricular books to students. This effect is definitely more effective than any preaching. However, it is not enough for students to just listen to the teacher's stories. Storytelling can be in various forms, which can be told by teachers, students and competitions between teachers and students. In this way, students have the right to speak independently. They will try their best to find extracurricular books they are interested in and choose their favorite stories, which are interesting, thrilling, strange or touching ... Each story is a catalyst to cultivate students' interest in reading. Let the narrator feel the joy of success, thus inspiring them to love extracurricular reading; Let the listener feel the temptation of extracurricular reading in the vivid narration of the narrator. You see, kill two birds with one stone, why not?
