The value of picture books to children

The answer is a little too much. Please read it patiently. I hope I can help you.

Please also adopt it in time. Thank you.

Picture book is a kind of reading material which mainly focuses on pictures and symbols, supplemented by symbols (even no symbols at all), shows the aesthetic world in children's field of vision, and can produce positive and meaningful interactive effects with children as recipients. As a kind of reading material with pictures as its main content and form, it is ingenious in composition, vivid in shape and beautiful in color, which is very attractive to children. Rhythmic, humorous, anthropomorphic and exaggerated language also conforms to the age characteristics of children's language. The storyline closely related to life experience in picture books can arouse children's emotions more. Therefore, picture books are welcomed and loved by most children. If picture books can be widely used in early reading education to cultivate children's reading interest, help children understand the relationship between pictures and texts, and lay the foundation for future reading activities. Picture books are a highly regarded reading method abroad. In recent years, China children's literature experts Professor and Professor Mei have been calling on children to read picture books, thinking that picture books are "the first book in life".

Value and significance

First, why do you choose picture books to read?

(1) gives reading a relaxed starting point.

Pictures are intuitive written language information with illustrated functions. So it is easier to be accepted and understood by children. With the help of the picture experience, the corresponding relationship can be established by word pairing, which can achieve the effect of understanding reading. The process of looking at pictures is also the process of children's discovery and exploration. When children find small signs hidden by painters in picture books, when children continue to explore with such signs, their body and mind are greatly improved. The images and words of picture books contain tacit understanding, which are closely coordinated like breathing, music and doubles players, and can make young readers read easily and happily.

(2) It can change the boring situation of Chinese teaching.

Most of the selected picture books and pictures are works created by masters. They have stood the test of time. Although they have gone through decades or even hundreds of years, they can still be loved by children today, and many children are deeply affected. It is not unreasonable that picture books are not limited by time, space and region. The author of picture books must tell a story clearly and beautifully in a limited space. This requires the painter to express a lot of information in a limited space, and the picture can achieve the effect that words can't. A good picture book can make an illiterate child "read" the main idea just by looking at the picture.

(3) increase cognitive learning

Famous artists and artists who understand children's psychology can draw best. They skillfully use painting skills to interpret vivid stories through exquisite pictures, so that picture books not only have the beauty of color, lines and composition, but also have the beauty of language, rhythm and story. The content of picture books covers everything, including astronomy, geography, history, humanities, society, nature, science and other common sense. For children with little experience and limited experience, it is like an encyclopedia, providing various observational, reflective and sensitive cognitive learning experiences.

(4) The key to help children find truth, goodness and beauty.

We hope that children can learn to be grateful and kind to others. These abstract truths are not instilled in children's minds, but are slowly accepted and understood by children in picture books, which plays a role in moistening things.

(5) It helps to promote the healthy development of children's personality.

Personality is basically formed before the child is 6 years old, and it is consolidated on the basis of the past after the age of 6. For a person's life,

A lot of knowledge can be supplemented by continuing education or other means. It's just that the cultivation of personality is shaped and basically shaped since childhood, and it's difficult to correct it after stereotypes. Therefore, preschool is the cornerstone of children's personality shaping and an important period of moral education.

It is also the best period for the formation of good psychological quality. Reading picture books about excellent moral character, children's innate imitation ability will inspire and urge them to learn from the excellent characters in the book, and they will unconsciously follow their example and try to get closer to them in life.

Second, the value and significance of picture book reading

I have always advocated that children should read the right books at the right age, don't underestimate their understanding ability, don't overestimate their reading ability, and don't encourage others, because reading itself is a very happy thing, and don't turn reading into a child's task. If happy reading has a foundation, then a good picture book story is of great enlightenment significance to children. The self-care ability, logical thinking and language communication ability learned through reading are unmatched by parents. Children's imagination is not born, but acquired through direct or indirect experience. The richer the experience, the richer the imagination. But our traditional education is mostly written and linguistic thinking, and there are few images. Picture books provide a good platform for children to develop the habit of thinking in images, because the biggest feature of picture books is to form a complete story with a series of coherent pictures, which are based on pictures and combined with pictures and texts. Therefore, reading picture books can cultivate children's good image concept, improve thinking coherence and enrich imagination.

In the understanding of picture book stories, children strengthen their inner feelings and gradually establish her own judgment standards. Because watching the Railway Station in the Belly, the child knows how to care for the elf in the belly, loves to eat vegetables and fruits, and is not picky about food, because she knows that the elf will be healthy and she will be healthy; Because I watched What's New in Tooth Street, I never need to urge me to brush my teeth once in the morning and evening. The child doesn't want Huck and Dick to build villas and swimming pools between her teeth at all. Because reading "Point", children's self-confidence arises spontaneously: If it is difficult to draw, I will draw!

There are also many excellent picture books, which influence the healthy development of children's body and mind in a subtle way. For example, the series "Polly Bunny's Character Cultivation" vividly reproduces all kinds of problems that children encounter in their daily lives with warm and kind stories, while the reckless, naughty and gentle and kind Polly Bunny teaches children a lot about how to face difficulties, how to overcome fears, how to care about others and how to get along with others. As long as reading is guided correctly, children can be influenced imperceptibly, cultivate a sound and attractive personality and build a bridge to society. The rainbow fish created by Max Fest in Switzerland tells children the true meaning of life through the experience of a rainbow fish with shiny and colorful scales: if you share it with friends, the pain will be halved; If you share it with friends, your happiness will be doubled. The illustrations in this picture book are vivid and full of modernity by using ink painting techniques and incorporating traditional elements of Chinese painting. The waterscape in the picture seems to be rippling and floating, giving readers beautiful enjoyment.

Some picture books also use paper-cutting, watercolor, oil painting and other painting forms, becoming a "comprehensive art" with high aesthetic value. Consciously letting children read these exquisite picture books can not only cultivate their color perception ability, help them establish a correct aesthetic view and improve their appreciation level, but also stimulate their enthusiasm for creating beauty, help them step into the art hall and benefit them for life.

In fact, the most fundamental value of the picture book I want to talk about is that a good picture book can capture children's hearts. The most noteworthy thing about picture books is literariness and artistry. Experts agree that picture books are the most suitable form for children to read. Every classic picture book is made up of wonderful pictures. Children can really feel the beauty conveyed by paintings in smooth and colorful illustrations, which is easier to be accepted and absorbed by children than the works of art exhibited in art galleries. These pictures are carefully hand-painted by illustrators, paying attention to painting techniques and styles, and paying attention to the exquisiteness and details of the pictures. They are an original art. It can be said that every page of a good picture book can be called a beautiful work of art. There are few words in the picture book, but because of the lack, the requirements for the author are higher: it must be concise, and the ups and downs of the story must be built with short words; Must be funny and lively, in line with children's language habits. Therefore, picture book authors often carefully scrutinize and temper the words. According to the research of children's psychology, children's ability to recognize graphics has developed slowly since they were very young. At that time, although children could not read, they already had the ability to read pictures. If parents can consciously read picture books with their children at this time, create a warm environment, read words to their children and read pictures and tell stories with their children. From the beginning, children were exposed to high-level pictures and texts. They will taste the art of painting in listening to stories, and they will know words and understand literature in appreciating pictures. Compared with those fast food cultures that pass by and only bring temporary pleasure, appreciating picture books is undoubtedly a wonderful experience for eyes to enjoy, mind to enjoy and spirit to improve.

Third, the present situation and development of children's picture books

Close to children's psychology, there will be more and more children's picture books broken down by age. An important feature of children's picture books is that they can tell stories through pictures. Good children's picture books can vividly reproduce children's lives and emotions, portray children's pure and simple hearts, and play an inestimable role in children's hearts and growth, as well as in cultivating children's imagination and reading ability. Whoever can develop a picture book suitable for children's psychological development will take the lead in the market competition.

Now the publishing house is aware of this problem. Children's picture books, whether imported or original, are trying to develop picture books suitable for children to read and classify them according to their age.
