Read a lot of books and have low grades
Parents often ask: ".Children don't read less, how can they still understand or 'scum'? ”
Recently, a parent complained with a sad face: "Teacher Shaoming,My baby reads a book day and night, but her comprehension does not grow, why is this? ”
Crux analysis
Let's talk about this problem, although children read a lot, their comprehension is insufficientThe crux of the problem is that they failed to grasp the "resonance code" of emotional collision with the author.
It's like cooking a dish, if you don't have salt to taste, no matter how rich the ingredients are, it will be difficult to taste the real taste. This "resonance code" is to find the emotional experience shared with the author and grasp the author's mental context.
What is the emotional resonance point when reading?
For example, if you hear a song, "Under the old trees beside the railroad tracks, a few crows chirp until their voices are hoarse, but no one answers, and the train roars past, passing through loneliness or prosperity." —This is a fragment of "Midsummer" sung by Mao Buyi in "Tomorrow's Son".
When you read these words, does a picture immediately come to mind? Especially the sentence "Under the old tree next to the railway, a few crows called hoarsely", it was like pulling a certain string in the bottom of my heart and aroused strong resonance.
There are many similar examples, such as poems recited by children".Ancient vines and old trees, faint crows, small bridges and flowing water, ancient roads and west wind thin horses”。No matter who you are, after reading these lines, you can always sketch different pictures in your mind, and this is where the power of resonance lies.
Method:
How can children capture such resonant moments in reading? As long as you master this trick, no matter what kind of article you read, children can easily catch up with the author, resonate with the author, and then improve their understanding.
The secret is: hold on".Concrete expression”。This is like a paintbrush in the author's hand, the more delicate the depiction, the more touching it can be.
But what exactly is "embodied expression"? is like a master who kneades clay figures, depicting the expressions, movements and even inner fluctuations of the characters in detail.
Look at children's books, such as this one: "Pink Pig exclaims: 'Oops! I saw the baating sheep covering his face and crying out in pain: 'The scissors have pierced me!' Even if you don't have a picture, you can feel the scene of that tense moment.
2 aspects
The key to empathy lies in two aspects:
The first point:The depiction is like opening the door to virtual reality. Imagine that you pick up that beloved celadon cup with your own hands, gently unscrew the faucet, and the clear water flow is instantly poured into the cup until it is about 3 4, and out of instinct, you quickly close the water valve. This simple depiction of the action makes people feel as if they are in the scene, and the magic of embodiment can be seen.
The second point:Abstract and broad expressions can easily get lost. It's like just saying, "It's a smartphone," and it's so broad that it's confusing with different brands and features. Human nature likes to be simple and intuitive, and when faced with vague information, it often automatically chooses to ignore it because it requires additional cognitive costs.
3 steps
To find and grasp the author's "embodied expression", we can take three steps:
Step 1
Lock the theme
Find the bullseye that resonates
It's like aiming and shooting, you have to know where the target is. Before reading the article, first clarify what kind of emotions the author probably wants to express, whether it is the warmth of family affection, the perception of nature, or the memories of childhood or the pains of growing up?
Take Mr. Lao She's "My Mother" as an example, you can see at a glance that the theme revolves around family affection, so the seeds of family resonance have been quietly sown in your heart.
Step 2
Interaction of the five senses
Follow the author and chew slowly
Like a detective solving a crime, children learn to "see" the world in the author's eyes through words, "smell" the breath permeating the book, "hear" the sounds in the environment, and "touch" the feelings of the characters. For example, the author's delicate depiction of rural and rural landscapes makes the reader feel as if he has experienced the change of seasons firsthand, and the picture is vivid as far as the eye can see.
Step 3
Immerse yourself in the results
Immerse yourself in it and check the authenticity
Finally, it's important to look back at the whole process and see if you can actually feel the atmosphere created by the author as if you were in a book.
If children develop this reading habit, their comprehension will naturally improve subtly. When children feel the joy of progress, their enthusiasm for reading will become more and more high, will their comprehension stay at the stage of "scum"?
To sum up, Mr. Shaoming will continue to provide you with more wisdom tips on children's learning, so please look forward to and participate in the discussion!
