How to cultivate children’s reading ability

Introduction: Reading can not only broaden children's horizons, expand their knowledge, and cultivate their sentiments, but also promote the development of children's observation, imagination, knowledge transfer ability, and language expression ability. However, since children are not yet mature in all aspects of development, reading activities often involve great blindness and arbitrariness. As a preschool teacher, how should we correctly guide children to read books and help them form good reading behaviors? Cultivation of children's reading ability Method

1. Create a vivid reading environment to stimulate children’s interest in reading

Environment creation is a special potential curriculum. Kindergartens should strive to create a vivid reading environment based on the reading characteristics of children of all ages. Achieve purposeful and planned material selection and conception, maximize the educational function of the environment, stimulate children's interest, and effectively cultivate children's reading ability.

1. Provide reading materials that children like.

Reading of children’s books is mainly for sensory needs. It must have cute animals, interesting objects, colorful pictures and stories that relate to themselves. Contents with similar life experiences, such as "Baby Pictorial", "Little Frog Story", "100 Colorful Pictures of Children's Stories", etc. When so many colorful books are presented in front of children, it is undoubtedly difficult for them. The temptation to resist greatly stimulated their interest in reading.

While providing reading materials, teachers should also consider providing different materials according to the characteristics of different abilities. For example, for children with weak abilities, they can provide some single pictures and words with specific meanings and vivid images. Less reading materials; for children with strong abilities, some reading materials with more complex pictures and more text can be provided.

2. Provide a rich reading environment

First of all, the kindergarten environment should be created based on appreciation and artistry with text, so that pictures and texts can guide children to like it. It, read it, help children establish connections between words and objects, gradually transform from concrete to abstract, and cultivate their reading ability.

Create a reading corner, name it "Happy Book Bar", and use text labels to decorate it. The names of the children are written next to their photos, and the children can recognize and read the names of the children in the same class based on the photos by asking them to name them. This will subtly help the children to consolidate and strengthen the connection between words and objects, and to understand After mastering a lot of abstract language symbols, children can use their memory to put the words they know when reading, and gradually develop their own reading ability.

Secondly, create an interactive reading environment. Teacher-student relationship and peer relationship are important components of early reading teaching activities. The generation of children's reading interest and the development of reading ability are inseparable from the interaction with reading content, reading methods, reading interactions, etc.

In reading, in addition to teacher-student reading and teacher-student communication, peer communication and cooperative reading can also supplement and perfect the development of children's reading skills, giving children the pleasure and joy of reading. feel. For example, allowing children with strong abilities and children with weak abilities to read together and tell each other stories in the book can also play a leading role. Therefore, the role of teacher-student interaction and student-student interaction should be fully utilized in reading teaching.

2. Pursue the art of teaching, attract children’s interest in reading, and improve children’s reading ability

Interest is the driving force for learning. Children are often particularly interested in things they like and actively participate. If If the teaching process is boring, it will not stimulate children's interest in learning. The "Kindergarten Education Guidance Outline" points out: The educational content requires that the needs of the group and individual differences be taken into consideration so that every child can develop and have a sense of success. ?When organizing activities, only by capturing children's points of interest and starting from the children's points of interest can we teach students in accordance with their aptitude and realize the teaching idea that "every child can actively develop."

1. Pursue both sound and emotion, and strengthen the tone of literary works

If literary works are presented in front of children in a plain way, it will not arouse the enthusiasm of children. In order to let children Quickly integrate into literary works, we must pay attention to our tone and intonation, and according to the characteristics of literary works, we should read fast and sometimes slowly, with cadence and cadence, so that children can be placed in a kind and beautiful language environment. At the same time, Coupled with beautiful, beautiful, imaginative music and the use of vivid teaching aids, children can express their emotions and wishes in a harmonious atmosphere.

2. Carry out operational reading activities to improve children’s reading ability

In early reading, operations include: manual operations (perception), brain operations (thinking), and language operations (communication) ), etc. Therefore, in reading teaching, attention should be paid to allowing children to use their hands, brains, and mouths in action experience, active thinking, and multi-directional communication to better perceive pictures, imitate the use of words, imagine transfer experiences, and create Expressive performance.

For example: When designing the prose poem "Round Spring", first let the children perceive round things. Combined with vivid teaching aids and elegant music, recite the poem while playing with the round things. While making imitated poems based on the newly enriched vocabulary, "Yuanyuan", teachers and students, students and students communicated with each other. The imitated poems were recorded on tapes and they were listened to and appreciated by each other. After such a series of activities, children not only satisfy their emotions and interests while watching, playing and talking, but also satisfy the expressive desires of children with strong abilities and stimulate the enthusiasm of children with weak abilities. There are successful experiences in expressing wishes, which promotes children's development to varying degrees, expands children's thinking, and effectively improves children's reading and cognitive abilities.

3. Combine a variety of approaches to enhance reading interest

In order to arouse children's interest in reading, children should be guided to carry out some book-making activities, such as letting children become little painters and turning themselves into The edited works are expressed in the form of art and made into books; provide some scrap pictures and let the children cut them out and reassemble them into a new story. In order to enrich the interest of children's reading, children can also be guided to use puppets to represent the characters of literary works. The content is acted out.

4. Master the evaluation scale and enhance reading confidence

Correctly grasping the incentive methods can transform children's external motivation for reading learning into internal motivation. Therefore, in reading teaching, It is necessary to use verbal incentives: such as "You are so smart", "You are awesome"; action incentives, such as extending thumbs up and applauding; material incentives and other methods can also be used to fully stimulate children's enthusiasm for reading activities, so that children can Experience success in reading, generate self-confidence, and change from "want me to read" to "I want to read".

3. Formulate reading rules and develop good habits

Due to the poor persistence and self-control of children's behavior, formulating appropriate rules is an important means to limit bad reading habits. At the same time, this is also an important guarantee for prompting children to develop good reading habits with purpose and consciousness and ensuring reading effectiveness. Formulating reading rules should be based on the reading environment and actual situation.

If you want to keep the reading room quiet, you can post slogans such as "Quiet" and "Please speak quietly" on the wall, and ask children to walk gently and hold books gently. To avoid crowding, the number of people should be limited accordingly according to the size of the reading room. To enhance self-control, you can ask for reading and silent reading before each activity.

Another example is to make the reading room neat, beautiful, and orderly, and to help children form good reading habits. We should make policies to read page by page in the corner of the book, not to fold it, not to draw on the book, etc. Require. Of course, if scissors, glue, staplers, transparent glue, white paper and other tools for children to repair books can be provided in the reading environment, it can further stimulate children's good behavior of caring for books. Formulating rules not only facilitates teacher guidance and management, but also helps children create a good reading atmosphere and help children form a good sense of fairness and morality.

In short, early 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.

We only need to mobilize children's interest and carry out early reading education correctly and effectively, so as to continuously cultivate and improve children's reading ability and lay a solid foundation for their future sustainable development.
