How to Cultivate Reading Habits of Children in Large Classes
On the Cultivation of Children's Good Reading Habits

With the in-depth study of preschool education theory and practice, children's reading education has begun to attract people's attention. Aidan chambers, a famous British writer in education, emphasized in his book Reading Environment-How Adults Help Children Enjoy Books: "The environment has a very critical influence on children's reading activities!" The new educational concept holds that 3-6 years old is a critical period to cultivate reading interest and study habits, which plays an inestimable role in the development of children's potential. Early reading refers to children's early reading preparation from oral language to written language, including understanding the importance of books and words, being willing to read books, developing good reading habits and mastering certain reading skills. Early reading can enrich children's vocabulary, improve children's language understanding and oral expression, and promote the development of thinking, which is the best way to broaden their horizons, enrich their minds, develop their brains and intelligence.

First, creating a good spiritual environment and maintaining children's good reading mentality are the prerequisites for stimulating children's interest in reading.

"Interest is the best teacher", interest is the driving force of learning and the source of knowledge. Children are often particularly interested in what they like and will actively participate in it. Therefore, we should start with children's interest points, create various good environments suitable for children's reading, and stimulate children's reading interest.

Moisten things quietly, and the daily hidden education has a great influence on children. Children learn by imitation, and children's language is also acquired by imitating the surrounding environment. Teachers can see and hear everything they say and do in their daily lives. Therefore, in daily life, we pay attention to creating a standardized and beautiful language environment for children. Correct pronunciation, standardized grammar, accurate and beautiful language … will set a good example for children. Such an environment can give children a beautiful enjoyment, stimulate their sensitivity to language, promote their independent imitation and learning, and naturally acquire the use of language. This is an essential foundation for cultivating children's early reading ability.

The teacher's affirmation is the greatest encouragement for children. As the saying goes, "good children are boastful." Encouragement and praise are like rainbows after rain for young children, and every child will look forward to the encouragement and affirmation of the teacher. Proper positive reinforcement is helpful to stimulate children's reading interest and enhance their reading confidence. Therefore, in daily reading activities, we will encourage children in time to stimulate their enthusiasm and autonomy in reading activities, so that children can experience success in reading. A smile, a compliment, a touch ... the slightest gesture or language of the teacher will sprinkle wet drizzle on the child's young mind. A good reading atmosphere is produced by the friction among children, teachers and the environment. We should strive to provide children with a harmonious, supportive and equal atmosphere to stimulate their interest in reading and promote the effectiveness of reading.

Second, enrich reading materials, create a relaxed and happy reading environment, and cultivate children's reading habits.

The Guiding Outline of Kindergarten Education clearly points out that "the environment is an important educational material, and the development of children should be effectively promoted through the creation and utilization of the environment". The environment plays an important role in the development of young children. The younger the child, the greater the impact of the environment. A good environment can make children get twice the result with half the effort. In early reading activities, we should provide children with a large number of meaningful and vivid reading materials according to their age characteristics and cognitive level, and put them in places where children can easily get them, so that children can freely choose reading materials and explore their own perceptual experience.

1. Choose a suitable children's book according to children's age characteristics.

Cao Wenxuan said: "A person's interest in reading should start at an early age. You haven't read good books in your childhood, and it's hard to cultivate a real interest in reading all your life. " So it is very important to choose the first book in life. With the foundation of reading place, reading materials must be guaranteed, and reading activities can be carried out normally. Use the corner of the activity room with sufficient light and quiet environment to put all kinds of books for children to take and put at will. Suitable children's books are deeply loved by children, and small class children like a single picture book with simple plot, vivid characters, bright pictures and simple words. The size of the book is as large as possible, and the paper is thick and tough, which is convenient for children to read repeatedly. According to the age characteristics of the children in the middle class, choose a number of picture books with relatively complex stories, relatively many characters and rich pictures for the children. Some exaggerated and creative stories with clear love and hate are deeply loved by middle school students. Children in large classes can choose a wider range of books, and books with complex plots and more words can meet the different needs of children in large classes. According to the physical and mental characteristics of children in large classes, various reading materials, such as "talking by looking at pictures", "children's pictorial" and self-made books, are provided in the book corner for children to read independently and selectively.

2. Create a relaxed and pleasant reading environment

The relaxed, warm and pleasant reading environment makes children fall in love with the reading atmosphere before reading, and the younger the child, the easier it is to be infected by the environment and immersed in it. A warm reading environment includes two aspects: (1) a comfortable venue and a relaxed reading atmosphere, which is convenient for children to read quietly. (2) Determine the regular and irregular reading time. With the guarantee of time, children can form psychological patterns, thus forming the habit of reading. I mainly aim at creating a relaxed and happy reading atmosphere for children. On the basis of creating a kindergarten environment, I also reflect the sharing reading education from the story area with language education characteristics. We also prepared a story bag for the children to change and arrange the books in the story bag from time to time. Story packages not only provide children with more free space, but also enhance their sense of responsibility in the process of sorting out their own story packages. In addition, in the story house materials, attention is paid to the alternation of motion and static, and there are headdresses and finger puppets for children to perform; There are three-dimensional pictures for children to arrange pictures on the background and so on. There are various materials, and each toy is made according to children's needs, attracting children to take the initiative to say and like to say. At the same time, colorful pictures are posted on the escalator of the class, and children's songs are attached, so that children can read the pictures with great interest and try to read the children's songs next to the pictures. Let the children decorate our class by themselves, and put exhibitions of children's paintings on both sides of the corridor, which contain stories made up by the children themselves. When children come and leave the park, guide them to see, appreciate and tell their own stories.

In order to create a relaxed, pleasant and harmonious reading environment for children, we provide children with sofas, cushions, blankets and other items in the reading area. During the activity, children can sit on the sofa and read books on the cushions, realizing that reading is actually a very pleasant thing, so as to achieve the purpose of enjoying reading and focusing on reading. In such an environment, children can develop good reading habits. Children are also attracted by this warm "book corner" and often come to visit. In the book corner, children can freely choose reading materials, reading methods, reading alone or reading with their peers. In addition, I think every corner of the classroom can be a place for children to carry out reading activities, especially in free activities, children like to choose their favorite books and read freely in the activity room. Children are the masters of reading. They have the right to choose their own reading contents and ways, and also have the right to choose their own reading places. Through the creation of the book corner, the children's good habit of putting things back is also cultivated. Open reading places and ways stimulate children's interest in reading and promote their independent reading.

Children like new things. If the environment of the book corner remains unchanged for a long time, children will lose their freshness. Therefore, we will change or increase the content in the corner of the book in stages according to the theme and the development of children. For example, after the reading activity of "Little Mouse's Plane" was launched, I put my homemade book in the corner of the book, which was loved by children. The children looked at the picture and told the story in their own words. This picture is accompanied by short sentences. Children can get further development through continuous reading, and their interest in reading is also constant. Children have greatly enhanced their interest in reading in such a reading environment. Sometimes when drinking milk and eating snacks, they will watch, point and chat together in twos and threes in front of a picture. Reading activities have been naturally integrated into children's lives, and teachers can achieve good reading results without deliberate guidance.

Third, reading activities are organically combined with various fields to promote children to develop good habits of active reading.

All life is education, and reading is also life, which comes from every corner of children's lives. Only by integrating reading activities into children's daily life can the effectiveness of reading be promoted to a greater extent. We make full use of the class environment to help children carry out reading activities. I also tried to use courseware for teaching activities. For example, in the reading activity "Singing", I use self-made courseware to let children enjoy multimedia animation. Its combination of static and dynamic, illustrated and illustrated features have aroused children's strong interest in reading, so that they always maintain a positive and happy learning attitude in the activities, which not only deepens their understanding of children's songs, but also improves their sensitivity to words, and the activities have achieved good results. Therefore, the proper use of multimedia in teaching can also effectively promote children's interest in reading activities.

Teachers are always aware of cultivating children's reading habits. In some transitional links of children's life, such as lunch, before noon, washing hands, after lunch, leaving the garden, etc., children are generally required to wait quietly. In view of the active characteristics of children in our class, using these time to organize some varied and rich reading activities can also cultivate children's interest and correct some bad habits. For example, the "small radio station" before meals allows children to tell everyone what they have seen and heard in kindergarten and at home. Among them, they choose their own topics and organize language expression. We will also organize some storytelling competitions, or the teacher will give the beginning and the children will continue to edit; Or look at pictures and tell stories, or play freely, in various forms, to stimulate children's active participation and make reading effective and interesting.

It is also one of our measures to promote children's effective reading with role games. In the role game "Doby Dragon Theater", there are all kinds of dolls and headdresses, and children perform stories they have heard and learned in this theater. Sitcoms such as Little Monkey's Taxi, Little Mole's Birthday, and Tortoise and Rabbit Race were born one after another, which made children watch with relish.

In the theme activities, children's reading habits are also emphasized. For example, our art activity "Cat Comic Book" is a good example. Children can boldly imagine the story of kittens, draw stories with characters, plots and places, and encourage young children to tell them boldly. At the same time, it also exercised children's painting and expression skills, and their self-confidence and imagination were also improved. Under the guidance of the teacher, the children also made "cat comic books" and put them in the library. These homemade picture books are very popular. After the comprehensive activity "Fighting Villains" was launched, I recorded the children's songs compiled according to the fighting villains and displayed them on the theme wall, which attracted many children to watch. After the children have mastered the children's songs they have taught, they can recite them according to the next model. Children have positive interaction with their surroundings. This interactive process is the process of children's independent reading, which is reflected in life.

It is such flexible and diverse activities that make full use of children's various life experiences, provide children with various opportunities to use and learn languages, let children play their different roles in language learning from the different characteristics of various experiences, enable children to gain language experience from rich and diverse activities, and promote children's reading ability and even language development.

Fourth, the family is consistent, improve parents' ability to guide their children to read and help them develop good reading habits.

Parents are children's first teachers, and families are children's first schools. Children spend most of their time at home, and parents' influence on their children is very important. Since the birth of the child, parents have been communicating with their children in language, telling stories to their children with picture books, and their children will be influenced by their parents. Parents are educational resources that can't be ignored, and the family is consistent. Guiding children to study can achieve immeasurable results. The interaction between home and home can make children's interest in activities and learning experience continue, consolidate and develop. The creation of family reading environment is also inextricably linked with the cultivation of children's reading interest. We often guide parents and children to share the happiness of reading together. Encourage parents to use their spare time to read with their children, carry out reading activities with their children in the form of games, ask relevant questions to their children according to the contents of reading materials, give timely affirmation and praise to their answers, and give appropriate rewards or punishments.

Parents should support their children to study, meet their needs, study with their children and grow up together. Parents provide their children with diversified reading materials and buy illustrated books. These books include fairy tales, animal and plant introductions, scientific experiments and sports knowledge, which enrich their lives and cultivate their interest in reading. In the contact conversation with parents, the teacher learned that some parents are still reciting fairy tales to their children in their spare time, and appropriately let the children continue to make up the ending of the story, so that the children can hear clearly and understand, and gradually fall in love with reading. Some people say, "Mother's gentle reading is the most wonderful music in childhood." This kind of interactive parent-child reading at home has laid a solid foundation for children's growth and promoted the development of children's good quality. Teachers use various methods to mobilize the enthusiasm of parents and children to read together, so that children can reach the level of independent and formal reading as soon as possible, and have a golden key to open the door of "books" to get everything they can get.

In short, for children who are new to reading, it is necessary to stimulate children's interest in reading and cultivate children's reading habits as a supplement. According to children's physical and mental characteristics, grasp the opportunity to educate and guide children, create a relaxed and pleasant environment for children, and let children associate reading with pleasant experiences.

Children's early reading is a long-term and systematic educational project, which requires parents and teachers to cultivate and guide them purposefully and reasonably, so that children can develop good reading interests and habits, acquire knowledge from them and promote the development of their thinking ability, imagination and language expression ability. On the premise of reading and learning, children's reading ability will naturally improve. The acquisition of this ability has an inestimable impact on children's lifelong development. Never miss the opportunity to delay the child's lifelong development. For the healthy growth of children, let us pay more attention to children's early reading education, cultivate their reading interests and habits, lay a foundation for their future growth, and let them benefit from the benefits of reading for life!

"Reading is life, reading is a game and reading is learning", which tells us that children's graphic reading is everywhere. We should get more content from children's life, integrate graphic reading into children's life, and teach in the form of games to stimulate children's reading interest and promote the effectiveness of children's reading.
