How to improve junior high school students' extracurricular reading ability

Cultivate students' extensive reading interest, expand reading scope, increase reading volume, and advocate doing less questions, reading more books, reading good books and reading good books. Encourage students to choose their own reading materials. While working hard to improve the efficiency of classroom reading teaching, teachers must attach importance to students' extracurricular reading, so as to organically combine in-class and extracurricular reading, learn from each other's strengths and promote each other. Guiding students to carry out extracurricular reading is an important way to extend classroom teaching, increase students' knowledge, improve aesthetic taste and build a multi-dimensional thinking space.

The ancients said that "there is a golden house in the book". Zhu also pointed out that "reading a hundred times is self-evident" and Du Fu advocated "reading thousands of books and writing like a god", all of which emphasized the benefits of reading more and collecting more. Nowadays, the international economic and technological competition is more and more centered on the competition of talents and knowledge. Whoever has an advantage in knowledge and scientific and technological innovation will occupy the leading position in development. Talent comes from knowledge, and the acquisition of knowledge cannot be separated from extensive reading accumulation. "Chinese Curriculum Standard" points out: "Cultivate students' extensive reading interest, expand reading scope, increase reading volume, and advocate doing fewer questions, reading more, reading good books and reading good books. Encourage students to choose their own reading materials. "While trying to improve the efficiency of classroom reading teaching, teachers must attach importance to students' extracurricular reading, so that in-class and extracurricular reading can be organically combined, learn from each other's strengths and promote each other. How can teachers lead children out of wildness, into the ocean of knowledge and into the palace of civilization? The only way is to let children study and read a lot of books. Reading makes people wise, elegant and outstanding. Therefore, at the beginning of the new century, as educators, we have to think deeply about how to guide students to face the complicated and colorful reading world as soon as possible, read extensively, broaden their horizons, enrich their knowledge reserves, and constantly improve their overall comprehensive quality, so that students can grow up physically and mentally, fully tap their potential, and adapt to and face the needs and challenges of the future society with profound knowledge. Therefore, guiding students to carry out extracurricular reading is an important way to extend classroom teaching, increase students' knowledge, improve aesthetic taste and build a multi-dimensional thinking space. Guiding students to read after class should pay attention to the following points:

First, cultivate interest and make extracurricular reading a strong desire of students themselves.

An educator once said, "Interest means self-activity." Students should be willing to read, consciously read, and take extracurricular reading as their own needs in study and life, making it an effective way to improve students' Chinese literacy.

1, recommend articles that students are interested in. Interest is the motivation of students' reading. Nobody wants to learn anything boring, and nobody wants to taste chewing wax. We don't expect an innocent and lively child to recite "what is it?" Don't expect them to play with the astronomical figures of "scientists". Only Arabian Nights Pool is their dream of 1,001 nights, and only Andersen's fairy tales are their closest friends. Interest is their first choice for extracurricular reading. So we can recommend The King of Fairy Tales, Up and Down for 5,000 Years, Story Meeting, Scientists' Story, 100,000 Why and so on. Of course, you can also recommend some books on sound, body and beauty to satisfy students' appetite.

2. Choose appropriate extracurricular reading materials. When choosing extracurricular reading materials, we must pay attention to the age characteristics and understanding level suitable for middle school students. When choosing extracurricular reading materials, we should pay more attention to the party's educational policy and the needs of children's healthy growth. We should not feed our children with "poisonous flowers". As we all know, children's books with strong interest, knowledge and literariness, such as The King of Fairy Tales, 100,000 Why's, Youth Literature and Art, Pupils' Weekly, and Pupils' Common Sense of Safety Prevention, are all children's favorite flowers. Thoughtful books such as Five Thousand Years Up and Down, Twenty Years on the Road to a Powerful Country, China and Macau, and Loving the Motherland and Determined to Become Talents are also the "flowers of spirit" they must read.

3. Guide extensive reading. Mr. Lu Xun once warned his young friends: "If you only read one person's work, the result will not be good: you won't get much benefit." You must pick many flowers like a bee, so that you can brew honey. If you bite in one place, your income will be limited and boring. "He also said that' reading literary books is not good', and he will become an idiot without common sense." Of course, if you don't know literature, you will be confused when you write your own articles. This philosophical sentence is a "golden saying" to guide students to choose extracurricular reading materials. Only by guiding students to widely read popular children's books such as literature, mathematics, physics and chemistry, history, geography and biology can we achieve the goal of widely reading and accumulating books.

Second, teach methods and guide reading.

Although interest is the motive force for people to engage in any activity, it is not clear that students are only interested in extracurricular reading, and the significance and effect of "racing with cows" in the vast ocean with no purpose and no rules are unknown. Some students are interested, so they skim the content with vivid plots; Others read good articles, but they don't know how to accumulate knowledge, absorb skills and apply them to writing. Obviously, this reading method has little effect. Therefore, we should further guide them not only to love reading, but also to read better and more effectively. As a reading guide, we should introduce some effective reading methods to students. There are many ways to read. Here I want to talk about several common and very effective reading methods:

1, selective reading method. The application of this method is generally to selectively read relevant chapters or parts of relevant books and newspapers according to some needs of students in classroom study or writing, so as to apply what they have learned. For example, after learning the lesson "There is only one earth", students read the book "Man and Nature" purposefully (or look it up on the Internet) in order to have a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the close relationship between human beings, the earth and nature. For another example, after learning Penguin and Me, we instruct students to borrow relevant materials from the library, and then select the parts they need to write small scientific papers to cultivate students' ability to extract and use materials. At the same time, it also enriches language accumulation and improves reading interest and reading ability.

2. intensive reading. The so-called intensive reading method is to concentrate some key articles in books and newspapers and read them word by word from the outside to the inside. Cheng Yuan Li Duan said: "Teach each sentence word for word, then understand the meaning of a sentence, then understand the meaning of a chapter, and then continue to work together, so as to kill two birds with one stone." This is the traditional three-step intensive reading method. It is the most important and basic means to cultivate students' reading ability. Some articles are meaningful in language, quoted from classics and vivid in plot. Based on these works, teachers can guide students to intensive reading, require students to devote themselves wholeheartedly, mobilize a variety of senses, do their mouth, eyes, heart, hands, read, think and note, and gradually develop the good habit of reading carefully.
