What is a green picture book? Picture books are like a magical magic book, leading children into the experience of literature, aesthetics, imagination and creation. Not only children can't put it down, but adults also read it with relish. Classic picture books can stand the test of time. Whether it is visual pictures or short language, they often go deep into children's hearts and leave a strong impression.
What is a green picture book? According to the Environmental Protection Foundation of the Housewives' Union, this is a picture book with the theme of green concepts and knowledge such as environmental protection, ecological conservation, man and nature. Preschool children can subtly accept the meaning of stories from the activities of "listening to stories", plant seeds of knowledge such as natural ecology, environmental protection and diet health in their hearts, and look forward to the right time to sprout and thrive, so as to actively protect themselves, others and the environment in the future.
Pei, vice chairman of the Environmental Protection Foundation of the Housewives' Union, said that opening a picture book is like opening a window for children to discover and see the outside world with expectation, excitement and surprise. By listening to stories with their ears and looking at pictures with their eyes, they can arouse their interest in learning, and then get in touch with natural ecology, diet health and other issues. When children begin to discuss picture book stories with you, you can go to by going up one flight of stairs to let parents and children share, feel and practice the meaning of the stories together in their daily lives.
Lin Zhenmei, a well-known expert on children's picture books, even defined the green picture books as follows: "Green picture books use literary language, literary methods and beautiful pictures to let children experience the endless" secrets "contained in the natural world and life world through reading, and open their own" science and knowledge "with surprises and feelings in the process of entering and leaving this beautiful world. 」
Opening a picture book is like opening a window.
Open your book! What is a green picture book? How to read green picture books? For infants and young children, the use of green picture books is very simple, that is, adults take their children to read together, tell their children stories, or have a parent-child reading as the story unfolds.
However, Lin reminded that when accompanying children to read picture books, they should never interfere with children's reading with exaggerated interpretations (including sounds and expressions), nor should they "forcibly" bring in "didactic language" when reading picture books. Instead, they should let children naturally, happily, actively and simply immerse themselves in the world of picture books, so that reading picture books can become a meaningful and enjoyable experience, rather than passively cramming knowledge.
Rachel Carson pointed out in the book "The Heart of Surprise-Rachel Carson's Natural Experience", "It is more important to pave the way for children's thirst for knowledge than to instill in them knowledge that they have not yet absorbed. Reading green picture books with children can help children pave the way for interesting learning.
Therefore, although the green picture book is a good educational medium, Lin hopes that parents will put down their expectations of the green picture book, such as avoiding "indoctrination" when telling stories, such as reading A Ping's Menu. No more snacks! 」; When reading "Grandma is afraid of waste", "Grandma doesn't like children to waste, so don't waste it!" And other statements.
The development of green picture books is to attract children, let them involuntarily enter the stories in the book, and get inspiration and excitement, rather than setting the progress and goals for children, so as not to lose the essence and fun of reading picture books and avoid destroying the parent-child relationship. On the contrary, the time spent studying with parents also allows parents to relive their childhood, open picture books with their children, enter the adventurous world, and feel the fun, creativity, artistic conception and even the surprise brought by unexpected story turns.
Less utilitarian and more comfortable, parents can pick up a picture book that they like and children will like to read. However, sometimes parents choose a great green picture book, but when children don't like it so much or can't listen quietly and intently, they don't have to worry too much, wondering if it's "ADHD" or "children don't like reading". Maybe there are things that attract children's attention at this stage, such as reading picture books to children on the playground. How can we interest children?
Let go of the goal expectation of "tools", "purposes" and "tasks" of green picture books.
Open your book! What is a green picture book? Taking children to practice green picture books is not only reading a story, but also connecting with life and environment in the end. Parents should be reminded that reading green picture books is one of the ways to cultivate friendly ecological values and manage parent-child relationship. It is very necessary for babies to actively explore and learn. Then, after reading the green picture book, how to connect the children's lives?
Lin pointed out that when taking children to appreciate picture books, don't rush to cram the knowledge contained in green picture books or establish values. For a child, as long as it is his favorite picture book, he will fondle it, read it repeatedly or let you say it again, and then finish his study through repeated reading. Parents can let their children wander in the world of green picture books, or accompany their children to read attentively, and green seeds will sprout and grow in their hearts. At an appropriate time, parents can easily practice green picture books with their children in their daily lives.
A good picture book without written narration can be said to bring the magic of the picture book into full play.
Green food education class loves the germination of Hamburg seeds, which needs soil and water and takes time. Parents who want to extend green picture books to their lives may be too hasty to encourage them. Lin Yu Pei takes Alan Allen's "Ban Ban loves hamburgers" as an example. The story is about a little boy who hates vegetables and only likes hamburgers. His mother warned him that Banban would become a big hamburger. As a result, one day Banban really became a big hamburger. When the dog saw that he wanted to eat him, the cow mother was very angry when she saw him. Lin took her three-year-old daughter to read this book several times, but she never said to her children when she was reading it: "Don't be picky about food, don't be partial to food. 」
One day, Lin found her daughter interested in washing dishes in the kitchen and suggested, "Shall we make hamburgers?" ? Unexpectedly, the child said, "We don't want to use meat because the cow mother will be angry. Looking around, the mother and daughter decided to replace bread with rice, meat pies with eggs, sweet pines and vegetables, and began to make rice hamburgers. In a safe range, let children participate in rice washing. This process is actually a practical process from green picture books to green food education.
Open your book! What is a green picture book? If a grandmother who is afraid of wasting green consumption directly tells her children the environmental protection concept such as "Don't waste", the children may not understand it for a while, let alone do it in life immediately, but the green picture book is a good introduction. Taking Zhu Zhen Mariko's "Grandma is Afraid of Waste" as an example, through the interaction between grandma and grandson, the author leads to a series of thoughts on environmental protection in life, such as brushing your teeth with mouthwash, going to bed early, not wasting electricity, and even leaving rice grains on the little boy's face, which was immediately licked by grandma with her tongue, full of exaggeration and humor. There are only two owners in the whole book, the grandmother and the little boy, and the little child appears in daily life in a simple and fun narrative way.
Love the forest bear hug Nicholas? Nicholas Alderaan's "Hugging the Big Bear" tells that there is a gentle bear in the forest who likes to hug most. His favorite thing is to hug trees. One day, a woodcutter with an axe came to the forest and stared at a magnificent tree. Bell thinks that workers love trees as well. Unexpectedly, he actually picked up an axe and cut it in the tree. This is the first time that a bear is so angry that he wants to bite, but biting is not what he likes to do. His favorite thing is hugging, so the bear hugged the workers tightly, but the workers ran away in fear. The story of "Holding a Bear" is simple and coherent. It not only contains the idea of loving the forest, but also makes children feel friendly love through hugging games. Older children can also feel the power of love and peace.
Cherish the water and drink it, Jeremy? Graeme Base's "Come and Drink Water" is also a green picture book with strong visual sense. Even children can read by themselves. Children will find that with the appearance of one or two different animals, the water that hollows out the pages is getting smaller and smaller, until the water disappears and the animals disappear. Not only can you see that the animal expressions and color expressions are silent with the decrease of water, but you can also build water and life. Authors who are good at Tibetan paintings also play hide-and-seek with readers of all sizes. Each painting hides ten kinds of animals. Moreover, when the reader's mood falls to the bottom because all the animals have gone, a page turns over and a drop of rain falls, and his mood is driven to another place, full of puddles and animals.
There are many kinds of green picture books suitable for infants. The above is just a simple list. Good picture books, regardless of age, will have different feelings in reading. Finally, Lin said that when adults choose picture books, in addition to hoping that picture books can bring beautiful surprises and inspire children's thinking, for infants, the ending of picture books should not be sad and helpless. Besides listening and reading, there are more wonderful things and activities in daily life waiting for children to discover, explore and experience, which is the more important purpose.
