How can parents and schools work together to ensure that students have sufficient reading time?
Wang Ying. According to a "Survey Report on the Current Situation of Reading and Writing in Primary and Secondary Schools" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report"), about 196% of respondents spend less than 0For 5 hours, 50% of respondents read 05-1 hour (not including 1 hour), with increasing age, the number of students who read less than 1 hour per day increases significantly.
It is an indisputable fact that primary and secondary school students spend less time reading every day, and the reasons for this are obvious: First, the burden of homework is heavy. The burden reduction documents issued by various localities clearly stipulate that there is no written homework in the first and second grades of primary school, no more than 1 hour of homework in other grades, and no more than 1 hour of homework in middle school5 hours. In fact, the amount of homework that students do in all subjects each day is far more than that. After students complete their homework, the stock of time left is pitifully small, and it is inevitable that there will be no time to read. Second, parents take the initiative to put pressure on their children. In addition to completing the homework assigned by the school, parents also have to give their children extra weight, and on holidays and weekends, they will drive their children into extracurricular tutoring classes, and it is difficult for students to squeeze out time if they want to study.
Reading is of great significance to broaden students' horizons, improve their writing skills, and promote their spiritual development. Primary and secondary school students are in the first stage of reading accumulation, and if they have no time to read or know how to read, their horizons will inevitably be limited, and they will also hinder the improvement of comprehension and thinking, which will affect future learning and development. Therefore, returning the reading time to students and allowing children to read more books during the ** period should become the consensus of school education and family education.
First of all, from the school side, it is necessary to reduce the homework burden of students as much as possible. School is a place to read, and the sound of books on campus, teachers and students should be the norm of school education, but now it is replaced by heavy homework burden and endless brushing of questions, which is the alienation of school education. Therefore, schools should make great efforts to balance the amount of homework in each subject, guide teachers to deepen the reform of learning methods, improve the efficiency of classroom teaching, let students complete the day's homework in class or in self-study classes, and try not to assign or less homework, so that students have sufficient time for extracurricular reading.
To promote extracurricular reading, schools should give students time for extracurricular activities, and open libraries and reading rooms; It is necessary to mobilize students to set up reading clubs and regularly carry out reading exchange activities, so that students can talk about their feelings and exchange results; Regularly carry out the selection activities of "Reading Talents", set up various awards, create a good atmosphere for reading, and encourage students to read more and read good books outside of class.
Secondly, from the family aspect, parents should liberate their children's leisure time and cultivate their children's interest in reading. In today's society, in the face of heavy pressure on further education and employment, in order to prevent their children from losing at the "starting line", some even force their children to attend a variety of interest classes and tutorial classes from kindergarten, depriving their children of weekends, holidays and other time.
In fact, from the perspective of development, the "starting line" is not important, what matters is who runs to the finish line first. If there is really a "starting line", this "starting line" should also be the child's interest and habit of reading, as well as curiosity and desire for knowledge. With such qualities, children have the stamina to develop.
To this end, parents should liberate their children's spare time, and after completing the homework assigned by the school, do not increase the amount of extra weight, and do not force their children to attend training classes that they are not interested in on weekends and holidays. Parents should pay attention to the construction of family study rooms, and purchase sufficient extracurricular books for children according to their children's reading interests. On the basis of consultation with the child, make an extracurricular reading plan with the child, and ask the child to complete the reading task within the specified time. At the same time, parents should put down their mobile phones, stay away from computers, refuse some useless entertainment, carry out parent-child reading activities, read a book with their children, exchange their feelings about reading on an equal footing, and ignite their children's interest in reading. Thirdly, from the perspective of Chinese teachers, it is necessary to give students time to read the whole book and instruct students on how to read. Students have read the extracurricular reading list specified in the textbook and read it well, which has basically met the requirements of extracurricular reading. However, many Chinese teachers, worried about the decline in students' grades, have carved the texts carefully, taking up all the language classes, and students have no time to read in class.
To change this situation, we can learn from the experience of some schools in the teaching of "big reading", and divide the six Chinese lessons per week into two parts, four classes for learning the text, and the other two classes in a row to guide students to read the whole book.
In fact, many students are interested in reading, but as they get older, the study burden increases, and they don't know how to read some difficult books, they gradually lose interest in reading. The report also shows that 68 of the respondents in the 13 and 16-year-olds respectively said about reading methods2% and 716% of the students said that they "explored it on their own", and 58% of the students chose "taught by school teachers".9% and 528%。This shows that Chinese teachers are still lacking in guiding students' reading methods, and teachers should guide students' reading methods by carrying out whole book reading activities to stimulate students' interest in reading.
