The "Guidelines for Early Childhood Education" points out that it is necessary to arouse children's interest in books, reading and writing through books and paintings, and cultivate children's pre-reading and pre-writing skills. It can be seen that reading is a kind of ability that a person must have, and it is also the basis for a person to succeed in modern social life. This topic starts with understanding the current situation and existing problems of rural children's reading guidance, designs feasible schemes and takes corresponding measures to improve rural children's reading level and lay a good foundation for children's lifelong learning.

Internationally, the United States began reading research in the 1950s to investigate the reading situation of six-year-old children. The results show that children with reading ability are eager for knowledge, able to communicate with others boldly, have good study habits and are full of confidence in themselves. Some scholars believe that early reading can not only promote children's language development, but also help children's intelligence and creative thinking. Another scholar, Gong Lei, also pointed out that reading is understanding and judging. The United States, Canada and other western countries all advocate early childhood reading, and strengthening early childhood reading has become one of the development trends of preschool education in the world.

In the process of educational reform, early reading has aroused widespread concern in preschool education in China, and the concept that early reading is the first step for children to master and use information has reached a consensus. Both urban and rural kindergartens have tried the study of early reading to varying degrees, and some theoretical and practical research results have come out. At present, there are several different concepts in the field of early reading: one concept holds that the pre-school stage is mainly to develop children's oral English, while reading is the learning content after entering primary school, so there is no need to rush for success; Another view holds that reading is equal to literacy, and advocates that children can learn a batch of words in advance.

We believe that early reading is an important aspect of preschool language education. The purpose of choosing this topic is to infiltrate literacy organically in the reading process, so that children can know words on the basis of understanding the reading materials. While paying attention to improving children's early reading ability, we should pay more attention to the cultivation of children's innovative consciousness and spirit, improve children's expression ability, feeling ability, listening ability and sharing ability, and let children get happiness in reading.

Second, the research objectives

1. Children:

(1) Choose books suitable for children of all ages, create a warm and harmonious reading environment, and stimulate children's lasting interest in reading.

(2) Design the scheme of "improving rural children's reading ability".

(3) Create a reading environment suitable for children's age.

(4) Provide scientific guidance to children in rich reading activities in kindergartens.

(5) Carry out family parent-child reading activities, promote family cooperation, and strive to improve children's early reading ability.

Fourth, research methods.

(1) Strengthen theoretical study, improve the understanding of kindergarten teachers, and clarify the research purpose.

Early reading is the key to unlock children's wisdom, but when it comes to early reading, many commercial operations have seen the phenomenon of literacy textbooks and books flying all over the sky, which has led many parents, including teachers, to enter the misunderstanding of literacy education, which has made children bear a heavy burden and lost their interest in reading. In fact, how broad the concept of early reading is, it refers to some skills related to reading and writing, including oral development, understanding between written language and oral language, understanding simple words, hand-eye coordination, small muscle movement development, reading interest development and so on. At the beginning of the study, we first focused on training teachers' theoretical knowledge about early reading, changing teachers' outdated concepts, having a more comprehensive understanding of the concept of early reading, and clarifying the purpose of the study, so that the research activities will not deviate from the correct track, and drive parents to change their minds and join their children's reading activities together.

(2) Based on practice, explore and think in practice.

The main body of "cultivating children's early reading ability" should be "teacher-student community", that is, kindergarten teachers, and cultivate children's ability in this respect according to the reality of kindergarten, children's reality and their own characteristics. The cultivation research in reading activities pays more attention to attempts in practice, including finding and solving problems in practice. Teachers should understand the needs of children's reading activities based on past experience and careful observation of children's reading activities, and then effectively improve children's early reading ability through various forms of activities in practice.

Seven. Research process and achievements

(A) to create a warm and charming scholarly environment, to stimulate children's persistent desire to read.

(1) The combination of kindergarten, family and community provides material guarantee for children to study.

If children want to develop good reading habits, then excellent children's books are essential. In recent years, our park has seized the opportunity of creating a high-quality park, raised funds from various sources, and built a children's library by kindergartens, families and society to create a rich reading environment and provide a good material foundation for children's reading activities. According to the requirements of high-quality garden, children's books must reach per student 10. On the one hand, actively strive for the support of the government and higher authorities, buy some books on stories, popular science and literature, and actively mobilize communities and families to provide excellent children's books for children. A manager engaged in real estate development in my garden district heard that there was still a certain gap in books in my garden, and immediately donated more than 3,000 books to my hometown kindergarten, completely changing the old face of a serious shortage of books in rural kindergartens in China. We also encourage parents to let their children bring home books to share with you. In this process, we pay attention to guiding parents to choose various books with high graphic matching, exquisite illustrations and educational significance for their children. Due to the strong cooperation of parents, the schoolbags in the class are often replaced with new ones, and the "Want Want Flea Book Fair" and "Parent-child Reading Corner" are becoming more and more prosperous. You can often see children and parents hanging around here and reading enthusiastically together. The neatly arranged bookshelves, elegant and fresh carpets, lively cartoon benches and soft cushions in the children's library create a comfortable and warm reading environment for children. Even the small mushroom tables and stools in the garden have become good places for children to study. In the waiting area and rest area of "barber shop" and "hospital", books that can be read can be seen everywhere. They are exquisitely crafted, flexible and instructive, and truly moisten things silently.

With an excellent reader, we should also arrange the time skillfully so that children have enough time to read and experience. We arrange reading activities under the guidance of special teachers once a week in each class, so that children can systematically learn reading skills and master reading essentials under the guidance of science. We also guide children to actively participate in book corner activities in normal regional activities, making reading an indispensable part of children's lives.

In recent years, with the improvement of people's living standards, community life has become more and more abundant. Our garden is located in the center of the new town, adjacent to the cultural station. We make full use of the rich book resources of the cultural station, and often organize children to participate in the reading activities of the cultural station, so that children can walk out of the garden gate, make full use of community resources, broaden their reading horizons and enrich their reading experience.

(2) Teachers are willing to read carefully, guide children's reading activities step by step, and form a harmonious and warm reading psychological environment.

The creation of reading material environment is important, but the creation of positive and interactive spiritual environment can not be ignored, among which the influence of teachers is particularly important. A teacher who loves learning and reading can bring out a group of children who are eager to learn and progress and love reading. So how to cultivate a teacher into a person who loves reading and thinking? After purchasing a large number of teachers' books, we launched activities such as "Peach Blossom Garden Reading" and "Intensive Reading of Summer Education Masterpieces", advocating teachers to start from me, love reading, be friends with books, learn advanced concepts, and broaden their educational horizons, thus introducing advanced concepts into children's reading education. The creation of spiritual environment is mainly reflected in the development of reading activities suitable for children's age and moderate difficulty. For example, children in small classes mainly read simple pictures and cards, know simple Chinese characters in the surrounding environment, and show interest in books. Middle-class children match pictures and texts and identify the corresponding words. Children in large classes should master the components and functions of books and look forward to the development of stories according to illustrations or some plots. Putting forward different requirements according to different age characteristics is helpful to cultivate children's reading interest, accumulate rich reading experience in happy and creative learning, and finally develop reading habits and become successful independent readers.

(B) scientific guidance, home cooperation, and effectively improve children's independent reading ability.

At the beginning of early reading research activities, we found that there were still many misunderstandings in our early reading education:

Phenomenon 1: A teacher carries out reading activities and keeps the reading materials on the video instrument from beginning to end. The children sit in chairs, listen to the teacher and occasionally answer some questions raised by the teacher. Phenomenon 2: The teacher tells stories with storybooks. Although the picture of the story is very beautiful and vivid, the children are completely attracted by the teacher's rich expressions and exaggerated movements, and do not carefully observe the expressions and movements of the characters in the book and try to figure out their psychological activities. Phenomenon 3: Some teachers have designed many teaching AIDS and learning tools to prepare for an open class. At the beginning of the activity, one teaching aid after another was presented, which dazzled the children. It's that the reading process flashes by, which seems fancy, but the reading effect is not very good. This phenomenon shows that our teachers do not have a systematic understanding of the connotation, goal and orientation of reading. We must use scientific research methods such as study, research and communication to help teachers get out of the misunderstanding as soon as possible and improve the artistry of early reading guidance.

1. Strengthen the study of early reading theory and guide teachers to change from empirical to theoretical.

First of all, we widely publicize and fully understand the concept of children's reading theory. We encourage teachers to learn and understand the true meaning of children's reading in the form of collective learning, group learning and individual learning, and how to implement reading teaching in our garden; Secondly, learn the theoretical knowledge about language education and pre-reading education in the syllabus. Fully analyze the requirements and contents of the syllabus, understand its true internal meaning, organize teachers to study collectively, and conduct closed-book examinations on the theoretical knowledge of the syllabus. All teachers have achieved good results. Thirdly, we invited many preschool researchers from the municipal teaching and research office and the advanced sister garden to come to our garden to guide the early reading research. Through various efforts, teachers' early reading research level has been improved and their ability to guide early reading activities has been enhanced.

2. Encourage everyone to participate in early reading research activities and explore the laws of early reading education.

Our garden will incorporate early reading education into the curriculum system, organize teachers to prepare lessons collectively and design early reading activities on the platform of collective lesson preparation. Through the form of "one lesson and three research", that is, one person in one grade prepares lessons for this week's morning reading activities, and then discusses them in different grades to get the final version of the activity design. In the process of implementing teaching in each class, everyone observes each other, conducts self-reflection and collective discussion, and gives full play to collective wisdom. Explore the guiding rules of early reading, and then carry out exchanges between grades at the end of the year, learn from each other's experiences in activities, and improve the overall level of teachers.

3. Construct children's reading atmosphere and mechanism in multiple ways to promote the development of children's multi-reading ability.

According to the spirit of the syllabus: "Children's language is developed through active use in life, and it is difficult to master it only by the direct" teaching "of teachers. Teachers should make full use of various opportunities to guide children to actively use language to communicate. "Establish a new concept of taking children as the main body, abandon some traditional teaching models and try to use various flexible methods. We try to use questioning method, role-playing, situation setting and returning to nature. Fully mobilize children's initiative and enthusiasm in reading, and make early reading activities more colorful. Our garden has also carried out various activities such as "story king", "reading for teachers and students" and "parent-child reading" to promote children's development at different levels. In the activity, we found that most children's language ability has been enhanced, they can say the contents of books they read in simple language, and they have developed the habit of taking and placing books as required, which has generated certain interest in books, reading and writing, and promoted the improvement of children's reading ability and the development of children's mind.

4. Advocate parents to actively cooperate with and participate in early reading education activities, and comprehensively develop children's early reading ability. Through the investigation, we found that the quality of rural parents is higher than before, they pay more attention to family education, and they can realize the importance of early reading. In the early reading survey, it was found that the number of family books and discs owned by children in our garden was much higher than our expectation, with an average of 8 books and nearly 10 discs. However, there are some problems in early family reading: the phenomenon of "emphasizing discs over books" and the time for children to go home to watch discs. In view of the problems found in the investigation, our garden invites parents to kindergarten. First, invite experts to hold early reading lectures for parents to publicize the importance of early reading and introduce the guiding strategies for parent-child reading. Second, let parents observe the morning reading activities in kindergartens on the spot, get the guidance methods of morning reading, and let parents participate in the morning reading activities, which will not only be of great benefit to improving children's reading ability, but also enhance the deep affection between parents and children.

(C) parent-child reading, creating new features of early reading.

1. Carry out a series of activities of reading happy books at home.

(1) Establish a "family reading portfolio", which contains reading feedback, reading time records, reading methods records, and a brief record of children's and parents' questioning language during reading, so as to help parents and children jointly establish good reading habits through reading and borrowing books.

(2) Carry out "parent-child reading day" activities. The monthly "Parent-child Reading Day" activities attract parents to the garden to participate in reading activities with their children and communicate with each other with activities such as "Parents' Story Meeting", "Parent-child Reading Theater" and "Book Exchange Corner", so as to guide parents and children to develop reading habits in early parent-child reading.

(3) Carry out parent-child self-made reading activities and cultivate the habit of parent-child dialogue during reading. You can choose topics that children are interested in and close to life, and try to carry out parent-child self-made reading activities at different ages. Using the damaged or out-of-page books in class and at home, parents and children jointly re-create, sort out, cut and paste, and make them, so that children can read and understand pictures under the guidance of parents, with simple text descriptions, and finally bind them into a book to form a reader.

2. Collect the cases of typical reading habits of all ages in parent-child reading activities, analyze, interpret and study them, and on this basis, form the guiding strategy of parent-child reading habits.

3. Parent-child reading under the guidance of teachers can improve parents, teachers and children in a scholarly environment. Since 2009, in order to improve parents' ability to guide their children's reading and make picture books truly become children's friends, we have organized parents to come to the park to participate in an early reading activity every month, and gradually taught parents to guide their parents' reading strategies. The parents who participated in the activity carefully observed the reading activities of the class teacher, from how to interpret the picture book, how to guide the children to read according to the serial number and so on. Teachers gave parents guidance on how to accompany their children to study at home, telling parents that reading is the supply of spiritual nutrients, which can make children more fulfilling and happier! Parents are very interested in coming to the park to participate in reading activities and think it is very helpful for family reading. It not only opens a window for parents to open their children's reading wisdom, but also improves the cooperation between parents and children and enhances the affection between parents and children.

Eight, thinking after the research.

(1) Research is a long-term and arduous task, which requires a long-term improvement process.

Although the research of this topic will come to a conclusion, our research is still in the exploratory stage, which needs the guidance of experts and careful consideration in practical research. More importantly, we need to learn advanced educational theories and learn from the experience and achievements of similar research to make our research activities more in-depth.

(2) Every teaching activity is a concrete embodiment of an educational concept, and updating teachers' educational concept plays a vital role in this study.

However, the change of educational concept needs teachers' own knowledge, understanding and internalization, and more needs the confirmation and tempering of practice, so as to truly understand the spirit of the new syllabus, follow the laws of early childhood education and do a good job in early reading teaching activities.

In the process of early reading research, we carried out various forms of discussion activities according to the research plan. Although we have encountered numerous difficulties in the research process, through our efforts and the support of leading peers, we have enjoyed more gratifying results of the research: children's reading ability has been greatly enhanced, and children in kindergarten libraries have quietly read books and communicated quietly; Children often take broken books to the library and hospital for gluing; No matter which class you go to, you can often see children wandering around the library area. Reading has become a part of children's life and a habit.
