1 The importance of children's literature
The Importance of Children's Literature in Education
Literary works come from life and are higher than life. As an important independent branch and special category of literature, children's literature, like adult literature, also reflects the real life at that time. Therefore, the rich information contained in children's literature works not only includes the writer's memory of noon, but also includes national culture, historical knowledge, current forms, cultural traditions and so on. In the process of reading works, while enjoying the spirit of happiness, it also subtly absorbed the essence of human culture and enriched its own cultural heritage. Primary school students broaden their horizons and deepen their understanding of life in reading, thus completing the transition from simple "enjoyment" to "learning".
1.2 The importance of children's literature to the spiritual construction of primary school students
Belinsky once pointed out that "the purpose of children's books should be to keep children busy, to prevent them from catching some bad habits and good tendencies, and more importantly, to carry forward various factors endowed by nature to human spirit-to carry forward their sense of fraternity and endless things" (belinsky, 1983:7). Therefore, children's literature conveys "goodness". It extols the basic virtues of human beings, such as diligence, courage, honesty, fearlessness and tolerance. It plays a positive role in improving children's ideological realm, cultivating children's good moral habits, and also urges primary school students to shape a sound personality. In addition, it is also a very important day for education to cultivate their ability to understand, appreciate and create beauty. Pupils are in the period of personality formation and have strong plasticity. Children's literature works have a strong influence on pupils' personality and creativity.
1.3 the cultivation of children's reading ability by children's literature
Primary education is the key to children's enlightenment education. Chinese education in primary schools should not only teach children to read and write, but also educate primary school students in ideological and moral consciousness, and also undertake the task of guiding primary school students to absorb the essence of human culture and cultivate their humanistic quality. The uniqueness of children's literature lies in its basic audience, distinctive language and vivid image. In the process of reading children's literature, primary school students can not only understand and appreciate the works, but also master the basic knowledge of Chinese characters and grammar, absorb rich language nutrients and improve their language ability. This kind of happy reading, easy reading, conscious reading and active reading is very beneficial to the cultivation of children's reading habits and reading ability.
2 children's literature teaching methods
Children's literature refers to literary works created for children aged 3 to 16 and 17. Children's literature is a special form of spiritual dialogue and cultural transmission between two generations, and it is also an artistic integration of cultural design and cultural norms of the future generation of the nation (Wang Quangen, 2004:555).
2. 1 classroom reading
Cultivating students' reading ability is an important content of the new curriculum standard. Therefore, the selection of primary school Chinese textbooks is child-oriented, which contains a large number of excellent children's literature works. Teachers can use appropriate skills to stimulate students' independent thinking and active learning ability and cultivate children's good reading habits through students' self-reading classes (reading aloud, silent reading and speed reading) and teachers' lectures. For example, teachers can ask questions about works in class, let students discuss in groups, and let them find and solve problems in the process of discussion. "Cognitive psychology believes that when there is a moderate slight consistency between the original cognitive structure of an individual and the novel objects from the external environment, the individual will have the psychology of' cold',' doubt',' confusion' and' behind the spear', thus stimulating the individual to explore" (Dong Qi, 655
2.2 Extracurricular reading
Extracurricular reading is limited by classroom teaching and has certain autonomy and randomness. Because of the }S} system of knowledge structure and cultural vision, it is difficult for primary school students to choose suitable extracurricular reading materials independently and accurately. At the same time, primary school students have little time in the afternoon, their physical and mental development is still immature, and they lack certain self-discipline ability. Therefore, it is necessary for primary school Chinese teachers to give detailed and specific guidance to primary school students' extracurricular reading. Including recommending reading materials, making reading plans, checking reading effects, etc. Of course, Chinese teachers in primary schools should recommend suitable reading days according to the specific characteristics of children in the same grade, and the efforts to make and check reading plans should be small. For children in lower grades, you can recommend picture books with strong interest. The reading content should be simple, the length should be small, the length should be long, and the examination form should be lively. For senior children, children's literature works with longer length and richer content can be recommended. Cultivate their language sensitivity, naturally form their own reading habits and improve their reading ability. At the same time, we should take various forms to enrich reading activities, such as recitation, textbook drama performance, parent-child games and so on. Pupils are emotional and will use all their senses to get fun from the outside world and accumulate experience. Therefore, reading children's literature works through game spirit and interesting methods can stimulate students' interest in reading and broaden their knowledge, which will play a positive role in promoting the daily goal of Chinese teaching in primary schools.
3 the interactive relationship between children's literature and Chinese education in primary schools
3. 1 Children's literature is a supplement to Chinese education in primary schools.
Modern children's literature in China came into being under the special social background of the May 4th New Culture Movement. "From the beginning, the study of children's literature was closely combined with the discussion of school education" (Zhao Jing, 2003:29). Therefore, from the beginning of children's literature, children's literature has been interdependent with primary school Chinese education, which is an important part and a supplement of primary school Chinese education.
3.2 Chinese education in primary schools promotes the development of children's literature.
Under the guidance of Chinese curriculum standards, Chinese textbooks have been adapted many times, and the needs of a series of curriculum reforms have promoted the creation of children's literature. In recent years, the proportion of children's literature in the newly compiled Chinese textbooks is increasing, which also promotes the unprecedented prosperity of children's literature to some extent.
4 conclusion
Literary works can stimulate people's emotions and induce people's creativity. Children's literature works have a far-reaching influence on children's growth, and its enlightenment and education function cannot be underestimated. At present, as an extension of classroom teaching, children's literature reading still has many shortcomings in Chinese education in primary schools in China, such as the recommendation and guidance of children's literature works, the choice of reading methods and the cultivation of reading habits. Chinese teachers in primary schools are in place and need to be improved. They should give students enough guidance and necessary free space, let them spread their wings in the fantasy world, and let students form real reading ability, enjoy reading and feel the charm of children's literature.
