<h1>Poetry, the promotion and meaning of language development in young children </h1>
▓ Lu Xu
The Learning and Development Guide for Children Aged 3-6 clearly states that language is a tool for communication and thinking. Children's language skills are developed in the process of communication and application. The preschool education stage is a critical period for the development of children's language level, and teachers play a vital role in the development of children's language. What content, how, and what ways to promote children's language development is a problem that teachers must think about.

<h1>First, language, the key period of development of the kindergarten stage</h1>
1. What language development means for young children
Kindergarten education is an integrated education. The development of children's language level directly affects the development of their social, scientific and other five major areas. For example, in the interaction with peers, some children can not communicate with their peers friendly, and problems will be solved through crying, scrambling, and fighting, which is the lack of children's social level, and in the final analysis, it is also the lack of children's expression ability and understanding ability.
2. Requirements for teachers as supporters
Teachers should provide children with rich and appropriate reading materials, provide nursery rhymes, stories and other children's literature works in different genres, so that children can choose and read independently. In kindergartens, the most exposed to young children are stories, picture books and nursery rhymes. These contents are vivid and interesting, simple and easy to understand, in line with the age characteristics and learning styles of young children. When teachers do a good job in introducing basic literary works, how can they continuously enrich the learning content of young children, meet the needs of their actual development, and promote their long-term development? Poetry is a great addition.
<h1>Poetry, a typical representative of traditional Chinese culture</h1>
Traditional Chinese culture has a long history, is the essence of Chinese national culture, and contains the profound ideas and values of the Chinese nation. Poetry is a typical representative of traditional Chinese culture. With highly condensed language, catchy tone, and clear and orderly rhythm, it embodies the author's rich emotions and life. Through multiple techniques such as imagination and association, the author has created literary works that not only have the beauty of language but also the beauty of music. Despite its vicissitudes in the course of 5,000 years of history, it still shines like a diamond.
1. The meaning of poetry learning
Confucius said, "If you don't learn poetry, you can't say anything." Poetry, poetry. It can be seen that the study and recitation of poetry is by no means just to "learn", but to improve the ability of thinking, appreciation, and aesthetic taste and taste through chanting, understanding and learning. Zi was smelling "Shao" in Qi, and March did not know the smell of meat. A: Don't try to be happy as far as Si Ye is concerned. "I think the power of poetry is never lost.
Poetry is an enduring treasure of China's 5,000-year-old culture. Through poetry, we can trace back to the source of life, look back at the life we did not see thousands of years ago, and lament that our ancestors were full of wisdom and talent. In order to cherish a better life, stimulate patriotic enthusiasm, and lay the foundation for carrying forward traditional culture and cultivating national feelings.
2. The necessity of learning poetry in kindergarten
The "Chinese Curriculum Standards" clearly require that students in grades 1-6 recite 160 excellent poems (paragraphs) in ancient and modern times, and students in grades 7-9 recite 80 poems (paragraphs). As a preschool education stage of basic education, is it necessary to learn poetry? I guess it must be self-evident.
Children aged 3-6 in kindergarten are in a critical period of cognitive development. Due to their age characteristics, they cannot understand and accept complex and esoteric cognitions, concepts, and things. Poetry, short and concise, with words in the table, in the process of children's learning, can supplement and improve the learning content to a certain extent, so as to promote the continuous formation of children's cognition. For example, when introducing 6.5 Environment Day to young children, blindly sharing and discussing with children how to pay attention to the environment and how to protect the environment, the effect must be minimal. At this time, through the children's song "Mercy Farmer", educational activities are carried out, and through pictures and videos, children can intuitively feel that "sweat drops are under the soil", thus triggering the same frequency of children's emotions and achieving the resonance of "every grain is hard".
Kindergarten is a place full of life, vitality and growth. The kindergarten environment is one of the important resources for young children's learning. In addition to promoting cognitive improvement in a suitable environment, children's ability to feel and express beauty also needs to be continuously improved. Imagine that in the early summer of the hot wind, the lotus flowers in the small pond are competing to open. The teacher is saying to the child, "Wow, you see, the lotus flowers are open!" Or take the children to sit by the small pond, find a shade, and chant a song "The little lotus only shows its sharp horns, and there are dragonflies standing on the head" is more poetic?
<h1>Third, several methods of teaching poetry in kindergartens</h1>
Poetry has characteristics that are not found in ordinary literary works. It has a richer "literary", "poetic" and "appreciative" than other forms of literary works. Of course, precisely because of its highly condensed expression, the study of poetry is also "challenging". At this time, teachers need to screen and locate the poems, and select content suitable for children to understand and master for sharing and learning. This also has a certain guiding and promoting effect on the improvement of teachers' literary literacy.
Choosing the appropriate content of the poem and the methods used to interact with the children are also the key to promoting the children's understanding of poetry. Because the age of young children determines that their learning style is "direct perception, personal experience, and practical operation", teachers should also fully understand and prepare poetry when teaching poetry.
Kindergarten poetry teaching is no stranger to teachers. And what kind of method is more appropriate for teaching, I think this is a challenge for teachers. Teaching without a fixed method, teaching according to aptitude, is the best teaching method. Before teaching poetry, teachers must first analyze and deliberate on poetry, fully understand the background of the author's creation of poetry, the intention expressed, and the information and ideas that teachers want to use poetry to convey to children.
1. Drawing method
This is one of the most common methods of teaching poetry. The teacher reflects the content of the poem through the picture, and by looking at the picture and speaking, by guiding the child to observe the picture, so as to perceive the content expressed in the poem, which is convenient for the child to understand and remember. For example, when the kindergarten children were appreciating the poems of "Wing Goose", the teacher passed a picture, and above the turquoise river, there was a group of geese with snow white feathers. The elongated neck of the goose stretched out into the sky, as if singing to the sky and white clouds. Here a picture can reflect the entire content of the poem, which is also the most convenient way for young children to understand the meaning of the poem through the observation of the picture.
After the sharing is completed, the teacher can also invite the young children to recreate the poetry content with gouache paint. On the gouache paper that draws the blue waves, young children can draw a small white goose and a small white goose according to their own preferences, some are paddling, some are singing, some are swimming, some are whispering... Of course, there will be small flower geese, big gray ducks, small yellow chickens and other small animals loved by young children.
2. Scenario reproduction method
Scene reproduction is generally reflected in a multimedia way. This approach is more suitable for poetry sharing that requires multiple images to represent content. For example, "Jiang Xue", although it is possible to present the content of the entire poem with a picture, children cannot understand the content of the whole poem through the observation and appreciation of a picture, and they will encounter difficulties in understanding. Teachers can present the content one by one in the form of GIFs through PPT. For example, the first picture shows the peaks, silent, not even a bird, the snow falling one after another, the second picture is a small road, equally empty, a pedestrian, not even a small animal, the third picture is a small island, a grandfather in a cloak and a bucket hat sitting on a boat fishing. Snowflakes fell in the sky, and soon Grandpa's body was whitened by snow.
Through this kind of expression, it can help children to feel the mood of poetry more truly: loneliness, quietness, coldness... At the same time, the teacher can also talk to the children, why does the grandfather fish alone in the snow? Why didn't he have friends with him? If you met Grandpa, what would you say to Grandpa? By observing the picture, children are encouraged to imagine and give full play to their understanding of poetry.
3. Gameplay
This method refers to helping young children understand the content of poetry through role play, performance, and play. For example, in "Wandering Son", the teacher plays the mother and invites a young child to play the child. The mother holds a needle and thread in her hand to mend the clothes, put on the clothes for the child after the sewing is done, and hugs the child, constantly instructing the child to take care of herself outside, pay attention to safety, etc. Through the understanding of the performance content, young children can more intuitively and clearly feel the content of the poem and the meaning of the author. Children are more enthusiastic about a method, and they all compete to be the protagonists of the poems. This is also a good way to encourage every child to take the initiative to participate in poetry learning.

<h1>IV. The Application of Han Chenqi's Collected Poems in Kindergarten Teaching</h1>
On the basis of traditional poetry and taking "elephant" as the soul of poetry, "Han Chenqi Poetry Collection" has created five new forms of Chinese poetry expression and a new grammar of Chinese poetry, namely, the Korean-style Qizheng, the Square Body, the Broad Riot Body, the Broad Rhyme Body, the Broad Pair Body, and the Broad Heterogeneous Body. Several of them also have more typical teaching significance in kindergartens.
1. Broaden children's life experience and feel a different urban culture
Knowing the city in which you live is an essential part of your child's development. In addition to the city where they live, teachers should also enrich children's understanding of other cities and meet the needs of children to become members of society and global villages. "Pot Lid Noodles" is an interesting means to help children in Nanjing, or to help children outside Zhenjiang understand Zhenjiang's food culture. Of course, it is also an interesting poem to help Zhenjiang children understand the local culture. "The pot lid noodles in the streets and alleys, the pot lid noodles in the building halls, the welcome bowl of pot lid noodles, and the guests send a bowl of pot lid noodles." A bowl of pot lid noodles accommodates the daily life of the people of Zhenjiang, reflecting the indissoluble relationship between pot lid noodles and Zhenjiang. "Five flavors and eight fresh contend, travel more hometown relatives, small dishes fresh and tender wheat porridge new, teeth and cheeks to stay fragrant." It shows the love of the zhenjiang people for pot lid noodles, and the zhenjiang people in a foreign land miss and nostalgia for their hometown.
To share this poem, drop a bowl of pot-lidded noodles and enjoy it with your toddler. Watching the lid of the pot pressed against the boiling water churning upwards, a circle of white foam overflowing the edge of the pot, after a few seconds, remove the lid, pick the noodles, with a topping, with a plate of crystal meat, a delicious pot lid noodles out of the pot. After tasting this snack, children will definitely remember that there is a place called Zhenjiang, and Zhenjiang has a bowl of delicious noodles.
2. Improve the sense of humor in the language and experience the fun of expression
The poem "I want to go to Harvard" uses three overlapping words "happy, hip-hop, gorgeous and beautiful" to express the happy mood of "I want to go to Harvard". Through the four psychological dynamic processes of "I want, I am true, I will, and I am on", it reflects the desire and imagination of "I" for Harvard. This poem has the characteristics of children's songs, simple and easy to understand, more suitable for kindergarten children to appreciate reading; second, children in the parents of Jackie Chan under the influence of their parents, Harvard, Tsinghua must also be familiar with. Under the sharing of this poem, it can stimulate children's desire to learn and yearn for more famous schools such as Harvard; third, the format of this poem is simple and clear, and whether it is the first sentence or the last sentence, it can be imitated. Young children can express their yearning for the ideal school in their minds, maybe a primary school, maybe a fun playground. At the same time, through the study of overlapping words, you can enrich your mastery of overlapping words, learn more overlapping word expressions, and increase the interest and expressiveness of language expression.
3. Understand the changes of time and feel the connection of everything in the world
The poem "Rainbow Clouds and Flowers and Rain", at first reading, is a love poem, expressing the obsessive waiting for a lover. Savor carefully, "The sky is dark, the sky is dark and other days" vividly expresses the artistic beauty of day and night, day and night never changes; "three hundred and sixty days a year, waiting for winter and other summer and autumn and spring" expresses the four seasons of the year, and the reincarnation is never absent; "the moon and other colorful clouds and flowers and other rain" is more said that everything in the world is closely related, and they are dependent on each other.
When kindergarten children are engaged in scientific exploration and learning, this poem is not lacking in suitable teaching content. Through beautiful language, poetic expression, and aesthetic artistic conception, it shows the imprint of the change of everything in the world and the cycle of years and years. It is more vivid, interesting and flavorful than simply telling children that "the moon revolves around the earth, and the earth revolves around the sun".
4. Pan-aging theory to improve children's imagination
In the mind of the toddler, the pony crosses the river to ask the mother, the piglet will build a house, and the big bad wolf will come and talk about the conditions with little Red Riding Hood. In the hearts of children, everything in the world is the same as them, they can jump, laugh and fight. Due to the limitations of their own level of thinking, when children understand the world, they feel that everything they face is alive and anthropomorphizes everything. The article "Dialogue of Birds and Flowers" perfectly fits the pan-aging theory of young children.
The bird says, I am a bird; the flower says, I am a flower. What else could it say, and what would it say to itself? In the study of this poem, it can greatly stimulate the imagination of young children. Think about it, besides birds and flowers, what other small animals and plants can talk, and what will they say? "Looking high at the top of the tree, I don't know why!" This sentence form is also relatively simple, guiding young children to think about its connection with the living environment, it is not difficult to find a corresponding expression. Teachers can also give exemplary guidance: "Fish: I am a fish, swimming back and forth at the end of the water, swimming for some reason!" "Grass: I am a grass that grows quietly and happily on the slopes of the soil, and grows for some reason!"
In the activities, teachers can encourage young children to constantly discover the relationship between things and carry out rich creation and compilation activities. Help young children better understand nature through creation.
There are still many interesting things in "Han Chenqi's Poetry Collection" that need to be tasted slowly, and many rhymes need to be slowly drilled. A lot of flavors, delicacies, and flavors need to be tasted slowly to be relished and slowly savored!
