the first step in reading with children is to choose a good book first, and then play with it well.
When Li Ma p>CC first saw the lovely family, she was attracted by one of them, Change, Change.
The plot in this story is so interesting that CC Li Ma can almost imagine Cecily laughing when reading this book!
After reading it with Cecily several times, I found more and more that the success of this book lies not only in the interesting story, but also in its concise but not simple pictures, attention to detail design, the relationship between them, and the depth of thinking and aftertaste.
Here's how to play this picture book!
A Lovely Family. There are 6 books in this set, each of which is as lovely as the name of the book. For example, Oh, my God, there are monsters at home, I've become a goldfish, potato cake fight and so on.
Starting from the perspective of "I", the youngest child in the family, telling stories in life contains children's imaginative and vivid plots, which is a great picture book.
the first thing that attracts people is the contents and paintings in the book.
Take "Change, Change, Change" as an example, children will start to laugh when they read it! Because the images of red fox, cooked octopus, prune, purple eggplant and mantis are all too shocking and imaginative! After reading this time, the children already like this book very much. Of course, an excellent picture book can be more than just reading words, and that would be a waste!
watch it at least three times!
You can read this set of books at least three times:
For the first time, read the words to the children.
the second time, analyze the story with the children, and let Ta tell it herself after getting familiar with the plot.
Third, play with picture books!
For example, in the book Change, Change, Change, the second graphic analysis can be like this:
Page 1:
Let the children look at the mother in the picture and ask her why she is angry.
A child can find a broken flowerpot on the ground and a tennis ball in his mother's hand. Let the child think, why is mother angry? Is it because the flowerpot is broken? Then who broke the flowerpot? Could it be that tennis ball? Who called again? Well, it should be a naughty child. Who can this naughty child be? It may be "me", which is why my mother is so angry.
This can exercise children's association ability and reasoning ability.
Turn over the second page:
Ask the children to compare the pictures before and after, and ask them what has changed. Is the fox in the picture a mother? How did mom become a fox? Children may find that their mother's clothes have not changed, but the whole person has become the image of a red fox, and even their eyes have turned red.
This will improve children's observation and contrast ability.
The third page reads:
In these two pages, there are many details that children can discover for themselves.
For example, on the third page, there are three wine bottles in the picture, and there are four wine bottles on the fourth page; On the third page, there is a full bowl. On the fourth page, "Octopus" has an empty bowl in his hand. On the third page, there is food on the small plate. On the fourth page, there is less food on the small plate.
You can also let children guess what they are eating? For example, one is like sushi, and the bowl may be rice. At this time, you can tell your child that Japanese people like sushi very much, and the wine bottle for drinking is usually like the one in the picture. For young children, such as Cecily3, who is three and a half years old, these are all good observation materials for her. As long as she is properly guided, she can play.
Pages 5 and 6 are about Grandma.
Children sometimes use their imaginations, such as Cecily, who doesn't quite know what prunes are. When she tells a story, she says it is like a "raisin"-this shows that children can get an understanding of this book through their own experience and imagination.
the next description is elder brother.
You can ask the child, why is he running? It turned out to be chased by a dog, so how did he become an eggplant? Because he was so tired, his face rose all over, a little purple. Children may not have seen what it is like to turn purple, but they know what it is like to blush. Parents can explain why the face turns from red to purple.
Analyzing a story can deepen children's understanding of the content. After analyzing it, children will already remember the content of the story. At this time, letting Ta tell you stories can improve Ta's confidence and expressive ability in telling stories! Good expression ability is undoubtedly important for children!
from the third time, you can play with the picture book!
for example, a detailed manhunt.
The picture books in this set of books are very simple, and the paintings are also very concise. But simple paintings have many designs and details. The picture is not just the interpretation of words, but has its own richness!
this is one of the reasons why this picture book can be played! CC Li Ma must pay tribute to Yasunari Murakami, the master of picture books!
There are two birds at the beginning of the book, and birds also appear at the last two pages.
CC Li Ma asked: Cecily, can you guess how many pages there are birds in this book?
Cecilia rummaged through the book and counted every page with a bird on it. This way can let children know that there is a connection between the contents of the whole book.
Next, Cecily found a kitten, a puppy and a dragonfly, each of which is an interesting game for children!
you can also play with other elements in all books.
The fourth play is to copy the master's paintings.
The drawing image of this book is very simple and vivid, with rich colors, which is very suitable for children to copy.
For example, Cecily copied this painting with colored lead:
The method is: Cecily and CC Li Ma copied it at the same time, and reached an agreement in advance: "Draw your own paintings, and you can't peek at both sides' paintings (to prevent children from reading adults' paintings and completely copying them, thus losing their own thinking)". After drawing the lines, exchange colors according to Cecily's idea, in which watermelons cooperate in coloring.
A simple game like drawing can be drawn infinitely with simple tools and materials, which is a very good parent-child companion. Good copying materials can improve children's interest in painting, establish aesthetic feelings and enhance children's confidence!
For young children, the significance of drawing is not only to cultivate aesthetics, but also to help children practice their fine motor skills through drawing.
From rough crayons and markers to thin watercolor pens and fine colored lead, Cecily naturally achieved fine movements through painting.
The fifth play is to tell stories in another language.
When children are already familiar with picture books and know the meaning of each page, they can try to tell stories to their children in another language, English, French, German, ..., which is also a good way to learn languages!
more fun!
For example, The Battle of Potato Cakes
This story tells the story of the whole family participating in making potato cakes. Everyone's active participation and the state of enjoying food convey a very peaceful and happy family life, and also give children the concept of teamwork and division of labor.
how to play?
It is estimated that every child who loves potato cakes will ask his parents to make one with Ta after reading this book!
You can also make jiaozi together, make cookies, and so on. Emphasize the fun of division of labor and cooperation!
I've become a goldfish
This book is about children's own dreams (fantasies). This fantasy is based on children's meticulous observation and perception of goldfish.
The inspiration of this book is that if Ta becomes another animal, the way of seeing the world will be different from now.
how to play?
Children can be guided to imagine themselves as another kind of animal-goldfish, kitten, puppy, or an object-table, cup, and so on. Let the children use their imagination and tell the story after the change.
You can also let the children change their positions with themselves, and Ta can play the role of parents and put themselves in other's shoes.
Oh, my God, there are monsters at home
This book is full of fun and excitement.
first of all, it describes the scene at night. There is a "white-faced monster" in mom's room! Sister is a "monster with loose hair", there is a "bubble monster" in the bathroom, a "eating monster" in the kitchen and a "bandage monster" in the bathroom. Finally, the whole family finds two "eyeball monsters" ...
How to play?
Let the children guess who each monster in the book is.
what kind of monster can I become? Play a "monster" with your child.
For example, cover the bed sheet, become a "bed sheet monster", put on strange props, clothes or makeup ........................................................................................................................................
As a Japanese writer, picture books have been pursuing concise effect, which makes this set of picture books very distinctive. For example, to represent the situation at night, a purple or gray background and a single line pattern are used to represent the night. This is also a way to learn in painting.
This is my mother.
It tells all kinds of scenes and performances of my mother.
My mother's beauty, untidiness at home, ability and temperament, the worries of her family after illness, and the "ferocity" of returning to the original state after recovery have all been vividly displayed.
This book reflects the other two books in the whole set, such as the angry state of mother, just like in Change, Change, Change.
This book will make every child very happy. They will find that mom has many different faces, just as everyone has many different faces.
how to play?
Let the children try to talk about their mother, father or familiar people, and use the same situation or sentence pattern. Because you are talking about the people you are most familiar with, children must have something to say, so as to exercise their expressive ability!
Grandpa has an old car
describes grandpa's old car, which is very worn out. When the car finally broke down, everyone was thinking about buying a new car for grandpa. However, grandpa didn't want to. Why? It turns out that this car has been with grandpa for a long time. At many important moments in life, there are photos, and in every photo, there is also the figure of this car. Finally, one day, his car was repaired. Finally, grandpa drove his old car and went out. The car was full of memories of the whole family and drove slowly forward.
This book can appreciate a spirit of economy. Especially now, in our fast-developing economic era, when children are eager for new things, this story can tell children that old things are also very meaningful and valuable.
how to play?
It takes a long time to find something in your home. Tell your child a story about it.
well, that's enough for CC's sharing. More fun in the book is waiting for you to discover with your children!
Don't forget to open your mind and explore some ways to play that belong to you and your children!
