"Picture books" have become an important way for young children to read and improve their reading ability in recent years. "Reading picture books" has become a hot word, and it has also become the soul of many family education. However, the misunderstanding of "picture books" and the blind pursuit of reading have put a "shackle" on children and parents: happy emotions have become mechanical reading. This misreading can make the book more and more distant from the child. In this regard, experts tip: for children, the purpose of "reading picture books" is to improve reading interest, not reading ability.

Read 500 books and find that it is wrong
After several exams, the reading questions lost 10 points, which made Xiao Qiang, who had just entered the third grade of primary school, confused, and also overwhelmed his mother, Ms. Pan, who had read picture books to him since childhood. Obviously, he is a child with a picture book bubble, how can this be? Ms. Pan began to reflect.
"I was always worried that Xiao Qiang's reading was not rich enough, so I bought him a lot of picture books of classic masterpieces, but Xiao Qiang was less and less interested, and even some books did not even turn over. I had to read it to him with a picture book, but his attention was on the toy. Ms. Pan said that she ran all over the major bookstores and bought more than 500 picture books alone, but she did not expect that it would backfire. Now think about it, the early literacy and improvement of reading ability are completely pinned on reading picture books, whether this original intention is biased.
"What story was just told, what happened to the result..." Ms. Pan still remembers that every time she read, she read and learned to read, and Xiao Qiang was very disgusted, and she listened to people and ran away.
"I had to take my son back and order him to finish reading the picture book." As a result, interest cultivation becomes a mechanical reading task. Ms. Pan said.
The investigation found that situations like ms. Pan's encounter are not uncommon in family preschool education. The tighter the parents are, the more nervous the children are, and even the fear of picture book reading. Over time, as soon as picture books are mentioned, children will develop resistance.
In the joy of reading picture books, I learned knowledge, which is obviously the child's own business, but it has evolved into satisfying parents' desire to achieve education, which makes happy picture books gradually change their taste.
So, how to read picture books to achieve good results?
"The picture book 'Blop' is a book about philosophy, which is full of repetitive color blocks, but it was very interesting to be told by the teachers of the Fun Book Library, and the children jumped up and asked to repeat it." Ms. Kim said it shocked her! Children running around are not good, in fact, your way of speaking is biased, at least not interesting enough.
"Maintaining nature, self-confidence and happiness is the right way to open a picture book." Ms. Kim said.
Sample 1
Parent-child reading can interest children
"Mom, tell another story!" Before going to bed, Doudou ran to her mother with a picture book she had picked. At the age of 3, she pestered her mother like this almost every day.
Nestled in her mother's arms, Doudou stared intently at the pictures on the picture book. With the content of the picture book, Doudou Mom pointed to the bear's clothes for a while, and imitated the tone of the bear's speech for a while, leading Doudou into the story.
"Since Doudou was 1 year old, I often took her to the Capital Library to participate in infant and toddler story meetings. Nowadays, reading picture books has become a fixed parent-child time for both of us before going to bed every night. Beanie's mother said.
"If you want children to love to listen to stories, the key is to teach parents how to read." Wu Hongjun, deputy director of the Children's Reading Activity Center of the Capital Library, said that many parents like to listen to e-books to their children before going to bed, but e-books cannot replace parents and mothers, children not only listen to stories, but also look at the picture, establish a sense of intimacy with books, parents can also participate in their children's reactions to stories, deepening parent-child relationship.
To read picture books for infants and young children, Wu Hongjun suggested: the content of picture books should be close to daily life, the text is small but rhythmic, the pattern is simple, the color is bright, and it is interesting, which can be cardboard books, cave books, touch books, sliding books, projection books, etc.
"It is difficult to touch the child's heart according to the script, and we must learn to look at the picture and speak." Wu Hongjun said. Not necessarily word for word, you can see what is said, have your own interpretation, let the child recognize the picture. Speaking slower, the tone of voice is exaggerated, and the depression is more abrupt, and it is easy to bring the child into the story. Every page in the middle of the book can allow the child to repeat some onomatopoeia words, such as "chick, chick, twitter, twitter", so as to exercise his language development ability.
Such an approach has a clear effect on Doudou, Ms. Li said, now, she is more focused than her peers, language skills have developed rapidly, the ability to repeat is particularly strong, and she has inadvertently recognized a lot of words.

Deduction is the joy of learning
"After the age of 4, the picture book has become a 'fish hook', and the feedback of the child after listening to the picture book is often a projection of the habits of life, and reading the picture book is a perfect opportunity to enter the child's heart." Qian Zhao, an internationally certified development transformational theatrical therapy practitioner, said. The Yuzu Honey Children's Fun Book Library, which she founded, has a fun story session every weekend.
"Give some face! Give some face! Give some face! In the corner of the Fun Bookstore, Teacher Vera exaggerated her voice and pretended to stop in front of the noisy children to repeat the four words. Miraculously, the children gradually quieted down, although the naughty children still responded with their mouths: "No! But they began to sit down, on their backs, on their stomachs, on their stomachs, in the lazy couch, and greeted the story meeting in the most comfortable way.
"The baby elephant was angry and turned red, and the little snail was very frustrated so it turned gray..." Today, Vera teacher spoke passionately about the picture book "Little Paul", and as she told, the robot she played also appeared, and the voice of the depressed suddenly attracted the attention of the children, and they walked into the storyline.
The picture book was finished, and the teacher and the children played. Some of the children set up the fort with a mat, and just then a mischievous little boy pushed the fort down. "Wow!" With a loud cry, the little girl who built the fortress was unwilling, and the little boy who was engaged in destruction shrugged his head and sat aside, overwhelmed. "Look, she's turned red, and you're gray." Teacher Vera said that it is necessary to capture children's emotions at any time and continue to read picture books outside the classroom, so that they can understand the content and meaning of picture books as soon as possible. In other words, participation is more important than reading itself.

Using the wrong method can keep your child away from books
"When the 'picture book wind' blows, it is necessary to study how to make deep use of it, picture books are flat, and educating children must be three-dimensional." Ge Nan, a national second-level child psychological counselor, said.
When parents pursue the number and role of picture books, they seem to have forgotten that the biggest role of picture books is to bring happiness to their children. Excellent picture books can always see the world through the eyes of children, maybe there is no profound truth in this picture book, just through the child's perspective to see an interesting thing.
"What we need to improve through picture books is the interest in reading, not the ability to read." Xiong Bingqi, president of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, analyzed that China's early reading education has always existed the phenomenon of either going left or right, and early reading is called "the foundation of lifelong learning and the soul of basic education".
Early reading should be diverse, with different themes and styles, from life to science, from the environment to life, education, family affection, friendship, from children's songs, nursery rhymes, to poetry, stories and other different types, must not be limited to picture books. Moreover, picture book reading is only part of the early reading, not all. During this period, if the wrong method is used, watch out for children getting farther and farther away from the book.
