Parent-child co-reading proposition
In the process of growing up in a person's life, reading is not necessarily the most important, but it must be indispensable. Reading helps to build a solid spiritual foundation, can make people grow up happily, and enter a colorful world of books. Parent-child reading is the starting point of a child's reading, and then it is the child's independent reading. From parent-child reading to independent reading, it is a qualitative leap. After independent reading, there can still be parent-child co-reading, because reading needs to be shared, need to communicate, and need to learn. After the child can read independently, parent-child reading is still irreplaceable, and it can make the child enjoy a different reading pleasure. Building a family of books is our common dream. This book fragrance needs to be realized by parent-child reading.
Facts
Mei Yasong's father Mei Jie is an editor and a scholar, who has been engaged in children's literature publishing for a long time, has written more than ten academic works, attaches great importance to the role of reading for the growth of children, has a clear hierarchical reading proposition, and has strict requirements for the quality and edition of various books. In the fetal stage, Mei Yasong adopts the method of prenatal education to read fairy tales and nursery rhymes to the fetus. After Mei Yasong was born, a complete game plan and reading plan were developed according to Piaget's theory of cognitive development. At the age of 0-1, read toy books for children, let the baby experience the form and texture of the book, and use a large number of children's songs to enlighten Mei Yasong in literature and music.
At the age of 1-2, she began to read The Road to Growth: The First Program for Family Parenting education in Korea, which gave her a preliminary understanding of various colors, shapes, etc., and established safety awareness, health awareness, etc. At the age of 2-3, he began to read simple picture books for young children and came into contact with Feng Zikai children's cartoons.
When Mei Yasong was 4 years old and in the kindergarten, she began to receive a full range of literary and artistic training, such as piano, painting, calligraphy, dance, etc. At this stage, Mei Yasong has been comprehensively improved, reading nearly a thousand kinds of picture books, including Yang Yongqing series, Chinese picture book collection series, mathematical popcorn series, Hello Science series and other large-scale books, so that Mei Yasong read all aspects of literature, art and popular science children's picture books.
When Mei Yasong was in the first grade, she began to focus on cultivating her pinyin book reading ability. Mainly to select "big head son and small head father", Jin Bo fairy tale series, ice wave fairy tale series, small slap fairy tale and other children's books suitable for this age group. Mei Yasong's pinyin book reading, from a few pages a day at the beginning, to twenty pages, to seventy pages, or even a hundred pages, has a rapid process of improvement.
In the first grade of primary school, tens of thousands of words of pinyin fairy tales are basically read every day. While reading the pinyin fairy tales, Father Mei Jie began to teach Mei Yasong poetry and small ancient texts. During the winter vacation of the first grade, I learned three hundred Tang poems, could read two hundred of them, and could recite one hundred. Xiao Guwen insisted on reading more than a hundred articles, including Zhang Dai's "Seeing snow in the Lake Pavilion" and other famous articles.

In the second grade, I began to cultivate the reading ability of Mei Yasong's text books, starting with picture books and bridge books with a small amount of text. When you gradually adapt to pure text books, you will soon enter the state of reading tens of thousands of words of text books every day. The experiment with graded reading of Mei Yasong was very successful. This has a lot to do with the fact that Dad Meijie is good at selecting books and picking books, and the whole process is constantly checking the reading effect and summarizing experience.
After Mei Yasong was fully able to read the text book independently, Father Mei Jie no longer deliberately supervised and supervised reading, but grasped the general direction and reading scope, and constantly recommended classic excellent works, but the specific time was arranged by Mei Yasong herself, so that Mei Yasong's reading would truly enter the world under his grasp. The texts read by Mei Yasong mainly include "Li Yupei Mathematical Fairy Tale Series", "Seaton Animal Story", "Shen Shixi Animal Novel", "Starling Ten Animal Novels" and so on.
The reason why I focus on popular science literature is because Mei Jie believes that after the fairy tale reading stage in the lower grades, more works between science and literature should be read in the middle grades, which can take into account both learning and improvement. After Mei Yasong enters the senior grade, Mei Jie intends to focus more on recommending growth novels and celebrity biography stories to children, because high-quality growth novels and celebrity biographical stories will stimulate the child's growth power more, and the role of role models will be more obvious.

Effect and influence of parent-child co-reading
Reading can effectively promote the improvement of writing ability. In the process of reading children's literature, Mei Yasong fully absorbed the nutrition of the works. When I was in the second grade, the first essay I wrote, "The Story of Spring", was extraordinary, with a full text of more than 400 words, writing a gratifying scene of spring from all levels such as animals and plants. Moreover, make good use of figurative sentences, and finally use four figurative sentences in a row to depict the sound and smile of the spring girl, which is very vivid. This essay was published in Hanabi Magazine Issue 9 of 2021. The full text is as follows:
The story of spring
Spring is here! The grass is long and the warblers are flying, the flowers are red and willow green, and the river is like a turquoise ribbon.
The birds sing on the branches, chirping, as if to say, "Spring is coming!" Spring is here! "They cry happily in the turquoise trees, in the blue sky, by the transparent stream. Hibernating small animals have awakened, such as snakes, bears, turtles, squirrels, badgers, hedgehogs...
The cherry blossoms of Wuhan University have bloomed, peach blossoms and plum blossoms have bloomed, beautiful, varied, pure white, pink, really beautiful! Seems to be comparing the most beautiful to anyone!
The trees and grass sprouted, a scene of vitality. The seeds that broke through the earth seemed to be called out by the spring girl in a gentle and sweet voice, and it was also as if Lei Gong had knocked up the big drum that had been hidden for a long time and shouted out in a thick voice! Some of the buds are fiery red, some are green, some are red, some are pink and pink, all very cute.
Uh-huh.
The wicker is thin and long, that's spring hair!
The peach blossom is red, that's the mouth of spring!
Shoot buds emerge from the soil, and that's the finger of spring!
The yellow warbler chirps softly, that is the song of spring!
The warm spring breeze caresses people. As soon as the children finished school, they rushed home, taking advantage of the spring breeze and flying the kite high in the air, as if embracing spring.
This is spring in nature!
The publication of the article greatly stimulated Mei Yasong's interest in writing, and later created a number of essays. Especially after the third grade, insisting on writing a diary and writing an essay a week has made great progress. Some of the compositions have presented the atmosphere of children's literature creation, capable of rewriting folk tales and creating fairy tales in a fictional manner. For example, in the 2021 Chucai Cup Essay Contest, Mei Yasong created an eight-hundred-word fairy tale in two hours. Being able to write such a long fairy tale in the prescribed time fully shows that reading expands Mei Yasong's desire to express, and writing has become her hobby.
Attached is another article of Mei Yasong's "The Story of Summer":
Summer is here! Summer is here!
Summer is like a beautiful little girl, where she walked, the lotus flowers bloomed, the watermelon was ripe... Everywhere comes alive.
What impressed me the most in summer was the lotus leaves and lotus flowers. The pond was full of turquoise lotus leaves, one after another, like a green disc. The lotus flowers bloom particularly beautifully, and they look even more red against the background of the sun. In the Song Dynasty Yang Wanli's "Xiao out of the Jingci Temple to Send Lin Zifang", "the lotus leaves are infinitely blue, and the lotus flowers are different from the red", praising the beauty of Xia He. In addition to lotus flowers, a variety of other flowers bloom to the fullest, such as the flame-like pomegranate flowers, etc., and the fragrance is fragrant.
Summer is also the season when animals are active. Knowing sings the irritating song loudly, mosquitoes stare at people everywhere, and frogs eat big meals every day and become fatter and fatter.
Summer is hot and dry, and ice cream and ice cream have become the favorites of our children. A cool, soaked heart, beautiful.
Summer is a colorful season! I love summer.
