Explore the essence of education
American storyteller Jim? Coe believes that listening to stories can open up areas that cannot be touched by direct education, and both adults and children can find safe ways to solve their own problems from stories. This shows that the connotation of the story not only reflects life and reveals the world, but also has a positive impact on the shaping of people, which is of educational significance. Accordingly, telling stories to children should fully explore the educational nature of stories.
First of all, we should take care of the age characteristics of children and guide them according to the situation. When children enter infancy, they can choose more fairy tales, because fairy tales are characterized by children's fantasies, showing children strange and wonderful real life from different angles and telling them the truth, truth, goodness, beauty and falsehood, evil and ugliness. After the child was 3 years old, things and I began to divide and became interested in human stories and intellectual stories about nature and society. The focus of this kind of story should be "What happened? To broaden our horizons and dig deeper into the theme of the story.
Second, strengthen pertinence. The child's physical and mental development is immature and his mood fluctuates greatly. When telling stories to children, we should keenly capture their excitement to enhance the effect of bilateral synchronization. In particular, according to the characteristics of children's plasticity, we can find some problems and shortcomings, choose stories that are conducive to correction, and inspire and induce them through story images to achieve the purpose of self-encouragement and overcoming shortcomings. The process of creating situational storytelling is actually a process of restoring life. Children are young and lack social life experience, so it is often difficult to understand the connotation of the story. Therefore, to tell stories to children, we must first create a story atmosphere, so that we can borrow the scenery to create feelings. The specific approach can be through "solving problems? Lay a good foundation and tell the children what kind of story this is, what plots and characters need to be paid attention to, and so on. There is such an opening to help children achieve attention transfer-focus on listening to the story, realize the novelty of the story, and do a good job of "listening?" "Psychological preparation. In addition, efforts should be made to constantly render the story environment and urge children to be fascinated by the story. There are many ways to render a situation, such as creating an angle image, putting the role of the storyteller in an appropriate position, trying to get rid of or cover up one's own ingredients temporarily, and putting feelings into the environment according to the personality and characteristics of the role image of the story. The creation of speech situation can not be ignored. Speech is an important medium to communicate the feelings of the speaker and the listener. The language of storytelling is vivid and vivid, with clear representation and childlike interest, which can make children resonate with the situation and enhance the appeal of the story.
Use suspense
Swiss educator Amaru said that the biggest skill of education is to inspire, so that children can listen, have hair, and it is very important to use suspense flexibly when telling stories.
Suspense is missing, which is a psychological reflection of children's concern about the development of the story and the fate of the characters when listening to the story.
Some people say that stories are the bridge of human inspiration, and suspense is the spark of inspiration fusion. The introduction of suspense is to break the complete pattern of the story, ask questions at key points, and let children think according to the context of the story and explore the aftertaste. Story suspense usually includes opening suspense, plot suspense and result suspense, which should be selected or combined according to the specific story content and audience. The setting and application of suspense requires parents to study the story carefully and design the presentation way carefully before telling the story. Suspense distribution can be divided into emotional suspense, question suspense and event suspense from the educational content of the story. It can also be set from the structure of the story, such as level suspense and chain suspense. Of course, the suspense of storytelling is to make the story ups and downs, twists and turns, and enhance the appeal of story art, but the frequency and depth of suspense settings should vary from child to child, and children's interest in listening to stories should not be damaged because of suspense settings. Under normal circumstances, the suspense set in the process of storytelling must be exposed as the story goes on, and it cannot be stopped without breaking it.
Clever application and reinforcement
At present, there is a common phenomenon in families. Children tell stories every day, and parents tell them to him every day, but in the end, although children listen a lot, they can tell very little. According to the original intention of parents, telling stories to children is not to cultivate story fans, but to hope that children will become the "king" of storytelling? And let him get a comprehensive and coordinated development.
On the one hand, it may be related to the quality of listening to stories, on the other hand, it may be related to the fact that children can't get timely reinforcement feedback after listening to stories. Children listen to stories, mostly by memorizing images. When the situation of the story disappears, the story will be forgotten. To this end, in order to improve the quality of children's listening to stories, we must put "listening?" Extend to reinforcement and feedback after class.
To strengthen children's listening to stories is to give full play to the initiative of "speaking" and mobilize children's subjective consciousness of "listening". For example, before telling a new story, let him repeat the outline of the previous story. This requires children to listen to new stories. First of all, they should listen well and learn to tell them themselves. Over time, it is not only conducive to cultivating children's good habit of listening to stories, but also conducive to the cultivation of subjective consciousness, which will turn into active participation in storytelling. Early childhood is an important period for children's oral development. It is of far-reaching significance to train children's oral language expression ability by telling stories.
