If you want to grow fast, how do you do it? If you want to become a great person, how to practice it? What if you want your child to be a different person?
The answer is to read good books. In particular, deep reading of literary works can "make the invisible be seen", for example, reading to make our eyes brighter and our minds more acute, so as to see the larger world and feel the beautiful things in life.
In this fast-paced, fragmented era, it seems that reading has become a highlight word, everyone knows the importance of reading, but few people know how to choose books? What kind of books should I read?
For the books that teenagers should read, children and parents are even more difficult to start, many children like to read some online novels, but these novels do more harm than good.
Especially as a child aged six to eighteen, the middle twelve years is a golden learning period, which is a fantasy period, a period of exploration and a period of logic.
Teacher Ye Kai believes in the "Great Language Book" that children aged six to ten are in the fantasy period, but they cannot distinguish between fantasy and fact, so if you want to read more advanced in this period, it is more suitable for reading some fantasy works and animal novels.
For reading and writing, it is complementary, as long as you read a good book suitable for age, it can be more conducive to physical and mental health, in order to maximize the potential of children to tap out.
The characteristics of the child's fantasy period need to match the fantasy works
Every child is full of fantasy, in the fantasy period, they are not only creative, but also like to draw, tell stories, see everything with a wild mind, when they see the topic of interest to them, they will be very excited and happy to immerse.
This is the unique fantasy and creativity of children in the fantasy period, and if the fantasy period does not attract enough attention from parents in childhood, it is difficult to wake up again after the fantasy period is over.
So what books should children in the fantasy period read? Is it possible to read some science fiction and fantasy works to make children constantly innovate?
Of course not, if the child does not choose to read some shoddy science fiction or blind fantasy works, or some rough animal novel versions, the child only reads the sourness of the plot and the novelty of the story. Not only is it not helpful for children's literary literacy and imagination development, but it will make children go astray and think that fantasies are imaginative.
The fantasy and reality series of "Great Language Lessons" edited by Teacher Ye Kai, which is different from other fantasy books, is in the form of short stories, some classic works of Chinese and foreign writers selected.
At the same time, because of his long-term relationship with teenagers, teacher Ye Kai tailored four series of contents from Chinese and foreign literary works, from fantasy to metamorphosis, animal novels, and people and things, according to the characteristics of teenagers and thinking patterns.
It can be said that for children who want to improve their language reading and writing skills, this book can be described as customized content for children, these selected works are representative works of famous Chinese and foreign writers, and they are easy to understand, interesting and interesting, and intellectual and philosophical.
These selected works, whether it is Liu Cixin's "Bring Her Eyes" or Ursula Wowuer's "Green Grass Hair", Naoko Anfang's "Fox's Window" and "Pepper Doll", all of which are in the way of thematic input, allowing children to continuously read and contrast these fantasy works vertically and horizontally, and can bring inspiration and philosophy to children.
Theme reading, so that children's reading and writing more systematic
Speaking of thematic input, it may sound a little strange, it refers to the input of a thematic series of works in the same series. Topic output consists of two meanings
One is the reading of similar content between different writers, for example, the content of the first article in the "Great Language Book" is all fantasy works, including Liu Cixin's, as well as the works of writers such as Liu Wenyang and Kenji Miyazawa. This is to bring together similar works between different writers for thematic reading;
Another kind of theme reading is to read together like the works of the same writer, which is also a kind of reading.
The set of fantasies and truths of the "Great Language Lessons" compiled by Teacher Ye Kai and the other four books are compiled in the way of theme reading, which for children does not need to go through the selection of books, they can directly read the books that have been screened by famous artists.
Let's talk about the translation of some foreign works, because in order to make this set of books more suitable for children's reading habits and easy for children to understand, Teacher Ye Kai specially found Dr. Wei Ling of the University of Hamburg in Germany to translate animal novels.
Because Professor Ye Kai learned that Dr. Wei Ling has lived in Germany for more than 30 years, is proficient in German, English and Chinese, not only has good language skills, but also is very dedicated, and her translation standard is also very high.
This is enough to see that Teacher Ye Kai attaches great importance to this set of "Great Language Lessons" and polishes the content of excellence.
For children, to read an excellent book, the most important thing is the choice of content and the quality of foreign literature translation, only by reading such a book that has both depth and interest, children can cultivate a sense of language, stimulate imagination, and timely carry out some theme reading, which is also the fastest shortcut for teenagers to grow.
Reading a book is like meeting a wise man
Many children, learning Chinese is a cramming learning, to put it bluntly, what the teacher teaches, the children listen to. Often reading books just stay in the end of the reading, but what they read, what ideas they have realized, they can't remember it at all when they close the book.
Teacher Ye Kai believes that this is because many students are "misled" by rigid learning. Most students read books just to excerpt good words and good sentences, simply summarize ideas, and summarize the general meaning of paragraphs. Even use some routines and template standard answers for reading comprehension.
But this largely stifles children's enthusiasm for reading and the ability to explore problems, let alone have their own independent thinking and unique imagination.
Therefore, Teacher Ye Kai compiled this set of "Great Language Books", and fantasy and imagination ability are the cornerstones of children's growth, in addition to fantasy and reality, there are four series of hometown and relatives and friends, past events and memories, life and innovation, reading and travel.
From the perspective of small themes, each series is a collection of good theme reading, and from the perspective of large themes, it involves children's growth, thinking, awareness, reading, and seeing, which are the necessary spiritual food in the growth stage of adolescents.
Or to read a book or read a good book, is to find a wise person for the child to guide the spirit, and the benefits of theme reading are like Ye Kai teacher will be each article like a vine as an index, so that readers can touch the "melon", so as to carry out deep, breadth and temperature reading, such reading is more effective, more memorable, but also can really improve reading ability and analysis ability and writing ability.
This is the real shortcut to growth and transformation.
