The survival, development and progress of mankind are the results of continuous understanding of the world, continuous communication, continuous learning and progress. Reading is the first need for human beings to seek development, a skill that people must master in lifelong learning, and the most basic and core part of quality education. Next, I sorted out the relevant contents about how to cultivate middle school students' reading ability. I hope you like this article!

First, improve students' interest in reading

The basic idea of the new curriculum clearly puts forward that "to build an open and dynamic Chinese course, we should broaden the fields of Chinese learning and application, pay attention to interdisciplinary learning, and let students broaden their horizons and improve their learning efficiency through the intersection, infiltration and integration of different contents and methods." Big reading strategy. Piaget, the father of modern psychology, said: "All mental work depends on interest." Interest is the most direct motivation for students to learn. As long as they are interested in something, they will try to do it. There is a significant age difference in students' interest in reading. The reading interest of students of different ages is closely related to the nature of reading materials.

Therefore, teachers should organize extracurricular reading purposefully and in a planned way, and check the reading effect in time to maintain the stability and persistence of students' reading interest. We must persist in reading every day, without stopping for a day, for a fixed time, and the thunder will not move; Moreover, there should be a certain reading goal every day, and appropriate requirements can be put forward according to different grades. You can make knowledge cards and write reading notes. Teachers should always check, carry out reading exchange activities, encourage in time, don't criticize, encourage, encourage again, encourage again.

In this way, students develop good reading habits, actively expand the scope of reading, broaden their horizons, enrich their knowledge and improve their Chinese ability. Because students feel that reading is rewarding, they realize that the promotion of extracurricular reading in learning is their own needs rather than teachers' demands and censures, thus gradually enhancing their thirst for knowledge and developing their reading skills.

Second, guide the choice of extracurricular reading materials.

For students, good reading is only the beginning, and reading good books is more important. Therefore, teachers should choose extracurricular reading materials for students from the following three aspects.

(1) Choose extracurricular reading materials that meet social needs. Social demand mainly refers to the requirements that reflect the mainstream values of society. In this respect, as long as it is progressive, healthy and beneficial to the body and mind, students can read it. For example, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Dream of Red Mansions and Water Margin.

(2) Choose extracurricular reading materials that meet students' own reading interests. Confucius said, "Knowing is not as good as being kind, and being kind is not as good as being happy." Some students like computer enthusiasts, some like middle school students' books, and some go to see adventure stories. Only when students are interested in reading materials can they take the initiative to read and think positively, and they will not regard reading as a kind of pain and a kind of burden.

(3) Choose extracurricular reading that meets students' reading ability. Junior and middle school students are suitable for reading short stories with illustrations, such as fairy tales, fables and folk stories. Senior students have a wide range of knowledge and rich experience, and can read some travel notes, thrillers, science fiction and even classical masterpieces.

"A good book can change a person's life", especially for students, who need a good book to lead them to the other side of growth when they stumble towards the first step of society. We should guide students to choose good introductory books. Gorky said: "Reading, an ordinary process that we are used to, is actually a process that combines people's hearts with the great wisdom of all ethnic groups, from ancient times to modern times."

Third, guide students to master scientific and correct reading methods.

Chinese textbooks for nine-year compulsory education have increased the amount of texts that students read by themselves, and there are a large number of recommended reading materials. This is undoubtedly an effective way to improve students' reading ability and language expression ability. Learn methods in class and seek development outside class. Limited in class, unlimited outside class. Students' extracurricular reading can not only consolidate and expand the achievements of classroom teaching, but also improve students' reading ability and writing level. Therefore, in teaching, teachers should consciously attach importance to extracurricular reading and strengthen the guidance for students' extracurricular reading. The key is to master effective reading methods.

(1) Read aloud and recite. Reciting is to integrate the emotional pulse in the text into your own emotional experience. Communication is the flow of emotion and the resonance of human nature. Reading aloud is a reading method that turns silent words into spoken language and comprehends and understands the content of the article. Listening to a person reading an article can often show his understanding and comprehension of the article. Fluent, natural, rhythmic, cadence and emotional reading shows that he understands the content and language characteristics of the article, so his gains from reading are various; If he stutters, pauses improperly and has a wrong tone, it is hard to say that he has a correct understanding of the article. Therefore, reading aloud repeatedly is a good way to understand the article. In addition, students can also be asked to read the composition aloud, so as to find out the mistakes such as improper words, wrong sentence patterns, language barriers, unclear ideas and so on, and correct them. Teachers should also pay attention to cultivating students' reading ability in Chinese class, and read more in guiding extracurricular reading to enhance their sense of language and improve their reading ability. Recitation is a reading method that specifies some articles to recite and memorize the contents and formal skills of the articles. For example, Zhu Ziqing's Spring is an excellent prose. It is of great benefit to guide students to grasp the characteristics of scenery and use various rhetorical methods to write. It is easy to write articles in this field in the future.

(2) notation. When reading, write down your experiences, feelings, opinions and comments at any time, and draw wonderful fragments, sentences, words, rhetorical devices, etc. This is a symbol that we often use. The main feature of notation is that reading, thinking and memory are closely combined through reading and commenting. In this way, you can finish reading the book alive and accumulate rich knowledge. For students, notation is mainly to learn the advantages of other people's articles, but also to encourage them to dare to express their different opinions.

Chinese educator Xu Teli said: "No pen and ink, no reading." In these two sentences, "scribing" and "moving pen and ink" refer to scribing and painting, and refer to the method of text annotation in reading. In this reading method, the great teacher Lenin set an example for us. Lenin was a revolutionary who read widely. When reading, he likes to write colorful comments, notes and experiences in the margins of the pages. When reading, carefully making symbols and writing comments can inspire you to use your brain, write down some feelings and record some thoughts. This is an effective reading method.

(3) reading and writing methods. Reading and writing is a reading method. You choose your favorite article or beautiful paragraph, read it carefully several times, and then you begin to remember it. If you don't remember the original words when you recite them, write them down in your own words and compare them with the original to see what is worse than the original. If there are mistakes in levels, sentence patterns and words, we should analyze the reasons. Then read it again, think about it again, and consciously focus on the place where the last dictation was not as good as the original. Reading in this way can compare, deepen understanding, enhance memory, and help improve writing ability directly. This is several times better than general reading and rote learning. Reading and writing can also be used in another situation. Such as memorized articles or paragraphs, after a period of time, some of them are forgotten or unfamiliar. Don't read at this time, write it silently first, and then review it against the original text, so that you will be particularly impressed and grasp the main points of the article quickly and firmly.

(4) Testing and reading methods. Reading test is a reading method that puts itself in the position of the author, puts itself in the position of the author, and speculates and tries to figure out the author's ideas, main contents and structure while reading. If you read an argumentative essay, you can guess how the central argument will be put forward, what arguments may be put forward, how to discuss it step by step, and how to end it. When reading a novel, you can guess how the story will develop, how contradictions and conflicts will intensify and resolve, what the fate of the characters will be, why you wrote it like this at first, and how you might write it later. If the following arrangement is as I expected, it shows that I understand the formation process of the author's ideas; If the later arrangement is beyond your expectation, you should think about why the author handled it this way, but you didn't expect his arrangement to be good. If the author's arrangement is not very good, think about the reasons. Reading in this way will get good results. You can write sequels to novels and stories by trial reading. When teaching Kong Yiji, ask the students to write an ending for Kong Yiji. The students combined their own practical experiences and designed a comedy ending for him to make a living after setbacks.

(5) Speed reading method without seeking solutions. Tao Yuanming, an idyllic poet in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, attached great importance to reading and learning. He wrote in "Biography of Mr. May 6th": "Quiet and quiet, don't admire honor, disgrace and profit. Good reading doesn't need much understanding; Every time I know something, I am so happy that I forget to eat. " It explains the method of reading, don't stick to your own opinions and chew over words, but be clear and understand the main idea. Tao Yuanming believes that the key to reading lies in "knowledge". Therefore, whenever he really understands, he is so happy that he even forgets to eat. Today, with the rapid development of science and technology, the number of books published has doubled, and everyone should "seek good advice" in reading. How many books can he read in his life? For some books that should be widely read, take the "fast reading method, which does not require too much understanding", that is, cut out the good articles or fragments you have read and paste them on the prepared scrapbook. Pay attention to classification and pasting, and it is best to add a table of contents and a cover in front of the book as a database. Make extensive exposition, broaden your horizons and lay a solid foundation for specializing in a certain knowledge. Students must be taught to master the advanced reading method of speed reading.

The ancients said, "It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish." This vividly illustrates the relationship between imparting knowledge, pointing methods and cultivating ability, and emphasizes the importance of pointing methods and cultivating ability. Xun Kuang, a famous thinker and educator in the Warring States period, said: "The mountains are piled up, and the wind and rain are prosperous; Water drops make an ocean, and dragons thrive. Therefore, you can't even travel a thousand miles without accumulating steps. If you don't accumulate small streams, you can't become rivers and seas. " Reading is a process of accumulation, and the purpose of reading is to accumulate knowledge, cultivate ability and realize life. Scientific reading method, advocating independent cooperation and inquiry, reflecting students' feelings and values. Autonomous reading training is of great significance to the development of young people's language and thinking, the composition of knowledge and ability, and the cultivation of thought and character.
