Here are some situations that parents will encounter when reading picture books. After reading a lot of picture books, I feel that children have not remembered anything (in fact, parents will also encounter this situation). The interactive question and answer with children is also fragmented. Ask whatever comes to mind. Sometimes parents don't master the skills well, and even disturb their children, which affects their reading interest as well as exam questions and answers.
Therefore, drawing the structure and logic of picture books with mind map is helpful to stimulate children's creativity.
Classify the stories of picture books by layers, guide children to read picture books from multiple angles, and establish children's structural thinking.
In this way, the problems such as children's inability to remember the content after reading, poor understanding of the story structure, and fragmented questions and answers of parent-child interaction are solved.
Let's draw a mind map with a picture book for better understanding.
What can we expand by reading this picture book?
You can draw a tree diagram and list the caterpillars' food from Monday to Sunday.
Tree diagram: it is mainly used to group or classify things. At the top, write down the name of the classified thing, write down the category of the next classification, and so on.
This picture book can also draw a flow chart to show the process of caterpillar turning into butterfly in the book.
Flowchart: mainly used to list the sequence, time flow, steps, etc. Be able to analyze the relationship between the development process of an event and explain the sequence of events. Write down each process in the big box, and write down the sub-processes of each process in the small box below.
On this basis, parents can make a tree diagram of family daily arrangements from Monday to Sunday, so that children can have a clearer understanding and increase their time management. They can also expand and expand the menu for a week and arrange the discussion results in chronological order. Fun and interesting, exercise the ability of many children.
Parents' misunderstanding: Mind mapping is a very logical tool. If we talk about structure and subdivision, will it limit children's imagination?
Answer: In fact, parents misunderstand what imagination is. Usually, people seem to think that imagination is something that comes out of thin air, that is, what children think casually, so people think that children have the best imagination and adults have no imagination. It's actually wrong. That imagination is actually the simplest expression of imagination (if; If; For example, if a child says: I am Princess Aisha, I have become a bear, and I can fly to the clouds and wait.
But these are not high-level imaginations. The highest level of imagination is the imagination of building the world. In fact, the highest imagination is based on structure and logic, and then it comes into being.
For example, the story in the picture book has built a virtual world.
Novels and movies, for example, actually construct a grand fictional world.
Then why introduce mind mapping? Because these graphics best combine our structural thinking and divergent thinking.
So: picture books are not only used to tell stories, but also have many possibilities. It is mathematics, logic, emotional intelligence shaping, emotional management, memory training, cognition of the world, stimulating imagination and expanding children's thinking world. This is the power of real reading.
