Ye Shengtao is a famous writer, educator, literary publisher and social activist in modern China, and is known as an "excellent language artist".
Ye Shengtao had three children, two sons and one daughter: The Most Kind, the Most Beautiful, and the Most Sincere. Under the influence of his education, the three children were very accomplished in literature:
The eldest son, Ye Zhishan, is an outstanding children's science writer and excellent editor and publishing worker in modern China; the second son, Ye Zhicheng, has won the National Veteran Editor Honor Award; and the daughter Ye Zhimei, who has also engaged in literary editing, later became a veteran figure of the Central Radio International.
Although the fields of achievement of the three children are different, they are all well-known writers.
so
How does Mr. Ye Shengtao teach children to write?
When Ye Zhishan introduced how his father taught him composition when he was young, he used words like "not to teach".
In the "Self-Introduction" of the brother-sister collection "Calyx", Ye Zhishan described the scene of changing the article with his father:
Ye Shengtao never gave children teachers an introduction to composition, writing methods and other things, he only asked the children to read some books every day. As for what to read, let yourself like it. Children can flip through the books on the shelves.
Ye Shengtao also asked the children to "write a little" every day, and there was no restriction on writing anything: flowers, insects, fish, kites, crickets, listening to people singing, watching people scold... These little things in life can be written, but you must write the truth and express your true feelings.
After dinner, Ye Shengtao would make time, light an oil lamp, and sit down to read the children's articles.
Everyone sat around, the children picked each other's mistakes, discussed lively, and discussed everything.
Ye Shengtao did not say how to change it, but sat around with the children, you also wanted, I also thought, the old father also thought together,
Even if Ye Shengtao wanted to revise the child's composition, it was still discussed:
Wouldn't it be better to change the words here?
I don't understand here, how do you think?
Let's think together, how can we express this meaning clearly? How to write better?
……
After a while, several ways to modify it came out. After weighing and comparing, select the best one, and then revise the final draft. After each paragraph of change, Ye Shengtao would read it aloud to see if the change was in place.
In the process, the children picked each other out and wrote better than anyone else; there were ridiculous fallacies in the text, and everyone laughed together.
The three of us learned to write with my father, as if in a competition, and each of us secretly held myself up to surpass the others and 'eat' my father's red circle more.
Our original manuscript is like a wildflower picked from the countryside, a large handful of pine in the bottle, combed and trimmed by my father, like a look.
In the process of watching their father's reform, the children slowly realized how to write the article.
There is guidance, a little bit of dialing, there is a lively discussion, there is a fierce competition... The children liked the father's method of grading homework and articles, and the three brothers and sisters would submit an essay to their father every week.
Father and son sat around the table, revising the article by candlelight. This touching godson scene made the famous scholar Song Yunshan can't help but sigh:
Let's try to close our eyes and think about what a happy family this is. In this kind of family environment, learning to write, progress must be very fast, Xiao Mo (Ye Zhishan nickname) they are happy.
Thanks to Ye Lao's "no teaching", the learning of Ye Zhishan's three brothers and sisters has progressed rapidly. At a very young age, their articles were well received by Zhu Ziqing and others.
Tutoring and family style perception:
Ye Shengtao's cultivation of the learning ability of the three children can be described as full of ingenuity.
He is neither like some parents, who make demands on their children with a straight face, nor will he completely let it go, but like a patient teacher, he actively discusses with the children, so that the children are both willing to accept their father's corrections, and as if they are in a competition with each other, secretly holding their nerves to surpass others, thus enhancing the children's interest and enthusiasm in writing.
This is reminiscent of the "paragraphs" when many parents help their children write homework, either making a "chicken flying dog jumping", or angry "brain infarction" and "heart bridge"...
Once you encounter a problem, tell the child twice that you don't understand, and immediately start the "Hedong Lion Roar" mode, the effect can be imagined.
You see, these situations are still due to the fact that parents have not mastered the skills of tutoring their children's learning.
Write at the end:
When we tutor children in learning,
You may also learn the method of Mr. Ye Shengtao's heuristic tutoring:
Ask and think, think and think,
Inspire and nurture children's interests and initiatives;
At the same time, it was changed to discussion, and accusations were changed to consultation,
Have no trace of the heart, lead the way for the child,
Maybe it's better to get the desired results.
