Why are picture books important books for children? How to read picture books? Do parents intervene and how do they intervene? Recently, during the "Red Sofa" series of interviews on national reading at the 32nd National Book Fair, authors, industry professionals, and scholars discussed these issues together, which may provide some inspiration for parents. On site interview activities for the "Red Sofa" series of national reading. Renowned children's literature writer Mei Zihan pointed out that picture books are an art form that contains a rich variety of genres, including not only literary picture books, but also picture books with different understandings such as knowledge, common sense of life, and habit cultivation; Many images in picture books are vivid and dynamic in children's eyes, which is an important reason why children love picture books. We need to put more and better picture books in front of children, allowing them to read various types and styles of picture books. "Mei Zihan's picture book" Big and Small "has been included in the" 3-6 Year Old Children's Picture Book Reading Guide "series published by Tomorrow Publishing House. When it comes to the inspiration for the creation of the book, he mentioned that sometimes conception is a long and unintentional preparation, and reading picture books should also be like this. Don't rush for quick success, don't rush to let children understand a book. A good picture book takes time to read, to settle down, and even until adulthood to understand its deeper meaning. It is important to teach children to ask and think, enjoy reading, and gain happiness. What is the relationship between picture books and early childhood reading and education? Professor Du Chuankun from the School of Preschool Education at Shandong Normal University believes that early reading is the foundation of lifelong learning, and the preschool stage is a critical period for acquiring basic reading abilities. As an important part of early reading, the value of picture books cannot be overemphasized. She also emphasized that early reading cannot be equated with picture book reading. For children, in addition to picture books with both text and images, reading pure text books cannot be ignored; As for picture books, she advocates for "all types" reading of picture books. Based on this concept, Du Chuankun led a team to compile a series of "Guidelines for Reading Picture Books for Children Aged 3-6". While respecting the age characteristics of young children, 72 excellent original picture books from China were carefully selected, taking into account various genres, themes, styles, etc. of picture books, in order to enrich and expand children's reading experience as much as possible. As for whether adults should intervene in children's picture book reading and how to do so, Du Chuankun said that encouraging independent reading does not mean independent reading. Children in the preschool stage usually do not have independent reading ability, and both picture reading and text reading abilities need to be acquired later in life; On the other hand, parent-child reading and teacher child reading can not only help young children better understand and experience works, but also enable them to feel love from adults and meet their emotional needs. Song Ling, the principal of the Shandong Provincial Experimental Kindergarten directly under the Shandong Provincial Early Childhood Education Center, believes that the greatest significance of picture books for children's growth lies in their ability to stimulate their interest in reading and their unique value in developing their comprehensive abilities and literacy. She introduced that the kindergarten has launched a variety of picture book reading activities, and the children's favorite is the immersive picture book game experience activity with the theme of "I am a book, waiting for you to read". Children can transform into characters in the book, immerse themselves in the story plot of the book, and integrate the content of the picture book into life and games. (New Society)
