How to tell stories to children with autism? 5 tips to make children more interested

How to tell stories to children

First, the basic situation:

In the daily reading class, you can often see that children are very interested in picture books, such as Peppa Pig picture books, cute chicken squad picture books, it can be seen that children are very interested in the picture content of picture books, and they are also very focused when reading books.

II. Behavior:

I can often hear parents say that children like to read picture books and story books, and often sit there holding books and quietly turning them over, but whenever parents approach their children and say that they give him a lecture, the children are very repulsive and walk away, and do not want parents to join and participate.

Third, expect target behavior

Parents hope to increase the interaction and communication with their children with the help of picture book stories that their children are interested in, and at the same time, through the parents' explanations, children can gradually understand the main content of the story and improve cognition and understanding.

IV. Intervention Process:

We hope that children are interested in picture books and can interact with us more, and can slowly accept our intervention, which requires us to master certain interaction skills, stand in the child's point of view to think, how can we be children to be more interested? What are the key points to pay attention to when telling a story? Wait a minute. Let me use the picture book story of "Little Bear Doesn't Brush His Teeth" as an example.

1. Be fully engaged and interact with your child:

(1) Storytelling skills

1. Tone: In explaining the story, we should pay attention to the speed of speech/pause and the level of sound to grasp well, and suppress the ups and downs; the language expression should be in line with the characteristics of the characters in the story; the language should be vivid.

2, expression: the expression should be vivid, especially when expressing emotions and explaining emotions. For example, at the beginning of the story, Harry the Bear does not like to brush his teeth, and he is very happy after dreaming that his teeth have fallen out, because he can no longer brush his teeth. When we talk about this, we should make a very happy, laughing expression to strengthen the child's understanding of emotions.

3, action: there must be actions that match the storyline, so that it is easier to attract children and easy to remember the storyline. For example, in a dream, when the bear heard other small animals tell him that he could no longer eat delicious food without teeth, he cried sadly. At this time, we make a crying motion, and the sound is full of emotion.

(2) The main points to be paid attention to in the process of narration

1. Create a storytelling environment: The storyline can be interacted with the child before telling, and gradually brought into the situation. For example, every day when we take our children to brush their teeth, in the scene at that time, we can praise the child for insisting on brushing his teeth and eating delicious things, while the bear does not like to brush his teeth, and his teeth are gone, so he cannot eat.

2. Explain new vocabulary: We must use language and situations that children can understand to explain the new vocabulary that appears in picture books to help children better understand.

3. Don't ask questions when telling: We don't ask questions when we tell the story for the first time, and first help the child understand the content of the story completely. After the overall lecture, the child has an overall understanding, and then gradually adds to the problem. You can start with a particularly simple, intuitive picture book that can be seen in the content of the question.?

4. Intuitive teaching aids can be introduced for auxiliary understanding, so that children will be happier. For example, if the picture book involves small animals such as bears and owls, then we can make corresponding headdresses, and when it comes to which animal, we will wear which small animal headdress, which helps to better understand the content plot.

When the child can understand the story well and can answer our questions according to the content of the story, they can slowly guide the child to repeat the story.

Second, the child repeats the story

1. Stimulate children's interest and desire to repeat, enhance children's confidence, and focus on auxiliary guidance in the early stage.

2. We should pay attention to listening to the child's retelling and give the child timely feedback and encouragement.

3. Give reinforcement in time and affirm the child. Such as: Baby, you said it so well.

4, we guide the child to repeat the form of more diverse, can use different repetition methods, for example, we say a sentence child repeats a sentence or use the form of question interaction, or according to the child's ability, we can also transform into the form of chat.

Of course, the premise of our children reading picture books is to choose the difficulty of picture books according to the child's current comprehension ability and expression ability.

Third, how to choose a story

1. First of all, our current picture books are as close as possible to the content of children's daily lives, so that it is easier for children to understand.

2. In the process of storytelling, we should pay attention to the interpretation of emotions in the story content and the repetition of key content to help children understand repeatedly.

3. The story should be interesting, the content should not be too long and too difficult, and the child's language expression ability should be improved through repetition.

The explanation of picture book stories is a way and way to help children improve their cognition and understanding, we must make full use of children's interests, through the skills of picture book explanation, let children slowly fall in love with our way of interaction, so that the whole process of picture book reading is full of laughter.
