Double Eleven is coming soon, recommend a wave of books Chinese from small and low to middle grades, hoping to help everyone a little.
Kids love stories. The age of 6 to 12 is a critical period for a child to establish a reading habit and become a lifelong reader. For children's independent reading, I hear a lot of questions, why do children recognize one or two thousand words and still read books by themselves? Why does anyone's child read books by himself at the age of five or six, and my child still needs his parents to read to him? Why does my child only watch the horse jump rice circle? Why do my children only read novels, only Harry Potter, only Jin Yong Gulong, and not other types of books? And so on.
Regarding the first two questions, in fact, everyone knows that literacy and reading are not one-to-one correspondences, and literacy is a necessary condition for reading, but it is not a sufficient condition. First of all, in the early stages of reading, how to mobilize children's interest is the first. All kinds of methods can be tried, be sure that the child is enjoying reading. Instead of parents taking a book and assigning tasks in front of their children, how long they must read it today. Secondly, the times are progressing, and it is true that some children can read age-appropriate works independently at the age of six, but this is by no means the norm. In fact, more than ten or twenty years ago, children entered self-reading around the third grade. Now, I feel a little ahead of schedule, and some children in the second or second grade of the first grade read independently. But it is not excluded that some will be around the third grade. For children who enter independent reading later, I hope that parents will be more patient and continue to accompany. Reading is not a contest, grasping your own rhythm, reading continuously, and becoming a lifelong reader is more important than anything else. Don't feel late, the moment is the best start.
As for the next few questions, they fall on our topic today, what if the type of book is too single. This is the children staying in the reading comfort zone, unwilling to move, then they need parents to pull a hand and help. Parents must do a good job of reading the role of intermediary. The age of 6 to 12 is the age of curiosity, in fact, to find the right books, there must be non-fiction books that they are interested in. This requires parents to make a choice according to the cognitive characteristics of their children's age. In addition, he does not like to watch himself, and his parents can read together, read to him, and discuss together. In fact, there have been many experts who suggest that parent-child reading can last until the age of 12, as long as the child does not refuse, read to him, this is a very good parent-child time. At the same time, I think it is also a great way for our parents to maintain a good communication state with their children during adolescence.
Ms. Ah Jian is a very famous children's book promoter in Chengdu, and I have had the privilege of listening to her lessons. Below I will list some of the books recommended by Mr. Ajan, as well as some books that my own children have read.
Bridge Books:
"One Two One Zoo", for children who have just begun to read on their own, the story is simple and warm, and the text is small and large. My family bought it for my sister to read, and as a result, my second-grade brother also enjoyed watching it. It is a very good bridge book choice.
"Penguin Mobile Team" that has been pushed before, the whole series has a lot of characters, and the text is relatively simple and interesting. My kids read it quickly, one book at a time. More suitable for five- and six-year-olds, older children may not like it.
In addition, there is a set of "Little Forest Fairy Tales" by Gong Tetsu kenji, which is quite beautifully written. The story itself is extremely valuable. Perfect for reading to or reading to children. I think it's very helpful for children's essay descriptions.
"Sunny Days Sometimes Pigs", just look at the title of the book, I want to read it. Children can't bear to put it down when they pick it up, and after reading it, they also look at it several times, as a bridge book recommendation index of five stars.
"Reading 123", this set is the work of Lin Shiren in Taiwan, this series has several sets, we bought the following picture, children especially like, there is humor, there is reasoning, there is gratitude. It is also a book that has been read and read. In fact, when we pushed the book, we felt that most of them were foreign works. So this set I am very recommended, after all, we have a common cultural background, in fact, in the children's picture books and literary works, Taiwan is ahead of the mainland.
There is also another set of books published in Taiwan on traditional festivals. The packaging was beautifully arranged and a large poster was also given. The illustrations are also artistic. I think we can make our children more aware of our own culture.
Some parents say that children don't like to read, and that's because you didn't show them "Mr. Stinky", a humorous novel by David Williams, and the children laughed when they read it. There is also Crooked Road Elementary School. There was a primary school with thirty floors and one classroom on each floor, and the architect said that if he made a mistake, it should be 30 classrooms per floor. There are all kinds of weird stories happening inside. Most kids will absolutely love it.
Equally humorous and funny is Little Ma nolin. Ma Xiaojiao has always been a best-seller in China, but I feel that I have always felt a little uncomfortable with the character of Ma Xiaojiao. He takes pleasure in bullying his classmates and making trouble, just an ordinary naughty child, and many children read and watch haha laugh. But I think it's hilarious, not humorous, high-level humor. Until I went to listen to a summary by a teacher Ajan. She said that the protagonist in the children's novel is mischievous, which is in line with the image of children. But the protagonist in a good children's novel should have a growth trajectory. Like Ma Xiaojiao from the first book to the last book, he did not see his growth, or like bullying others for fun. This statement made me realize. Teacher AJian recommended this set of books, little Ma Nolin is a sensitive and rich child, he will make children resonate, feel familiar, he will be jealous, will be mischievous. We can see his growth in the book, and the book is also very humorous and funny, and many children like it.
There is also a copy of "Five Children and a Monster", which is a fantasy novel with a huge brain hole.
The Painted Crow series, such as "Little Witch", the good witch is not really a good witch, how the little witch uses her mana and wisdom to break with the big witch. The writing is very interesting and not difficult. The entire Colored Crow series is a good choice for the lower grades.
The Whimsical Hunt for the Nut Thief series. Although this is a detective series story, it is full of warmth. The text content is not complicated, good bridge book.
The Residents and Robbers of Cardamom Town, a zhuyin novel. Many book lists also have recommendations, a very interesting fairy tale. First- and second-graders will love it.
Recommend "Space Boy" to children who like science fiction can be used as a bridge book or a first chapter. This set of six books, my child got the book and was not willing to put it down, read several books in one go, highly recommended.
Children who love animals recommend Sanders' animal novel "Beautiful Joe", which is written in the first person by a puppy named Joe. It's a very warm novel. If the meaning of books is to say, then it is a good novel for children to teach them how to care for others and cherish themselves. The text is a little harder than the previous bridge book.
The books and series recommended below are a bit more difficult, but some of the texts can also be read.
Dandelion Children's Book Library's Children's Country of the Blue Stars tells a thought-provoking story. My kids love to watch.
In the eyes of those who love you, "Flora and the Squirrel Man" is "you/to me/just an expanding/universe". A squirrel who can type and write poetry and fly, and a girl who is immersed in stories, can be read around the middle grade.
Sachiko Kashiwaba's fairy tale trilogy "Fantasy Town in the Mist", the anime "Spirited Away" is based on this book. The story is told, and this set of fairy tales is highly recommended.
There are also many good novels in the International Awards, but the difficulty is crossed. This set has a phonetic version, some of which are relatively simple and can be used as reading materials for lower grades. For example, "Dream Bank", "Fifty Cent Wish", "Stone Fox". This set of books was read by children on a traveling plane at the end of last year.
The Bakery of Tolemos
Recommend "Mr. Short"
Another Korean award-winning work, "The Monster Who Loves To Read", is not difficult in content and is beautifully illustrated. My kids recently read a book.
Not old spring library, the difficulty will have some span. This set of books may need to be read by middle and upper grade children. It is not excluded that capable lower grade children can also read it, and the famous "Crickets in Times Square" is also in it. There is also "Eyes of the Shipwreck", which is a very good work.
Ivy League International Awards Series. This series of texts is also more difficult, and may be more suitable for children above the third grade to read, which is of great help to the formation of children's three-dimensional thinking. For example, "Strange Cases in Composition" is a very wonderful detective story, teaching children to observe and understand with their hearts, which is not exactly the quality we need to write essays.
Reading the series "The Little Man Who Borrowed Things" is a very pleasant reading experience, and the stories in each volume are relatively independent and related. The author's superb narrative technique is very attractive, coupled with her meticulous description of the details of the lives of those little people, the tools used, what attracts readers is not magic, but reality. Although the little people are small, they keep their promises, yearn for freedom, never accept the fate of being enslaved, and many times their fate is in a desperate situation and they must strive to survive. Again and again, they built their homes from scratch, and the immense courage in them was unforgettable. Not only suitable for children, but also for adults.
Fiction is recommended here, in fact, there are many good-looking and high-quality literary works, and I have only recommended a small part of them. If I see more good works in the future, I will recommend them again, I very much hope that children can read quality books.
I'll sort out the recommendations for non-fiction books as soon as possible.
