[Repost] Red Mud Reading Camp Part 2 (First Session of Summer Camp, July 15th)

Orig­i­nal address:Red Mud Read­ing Camp, Part 2 (First Ses­sion of Sum­mer Camp, July 15th)author:Red Mud Inspec­tor   
Red Mud has been host­ing read­ing camps for three years now. Through prac­tice, we have grad­u­al­ly dis­cov­ered sev­er­al rules:

1) To calm down, you first need to get “crazy.” After enough exer­cise, you can always see the chil­dren qui­et­ly study­ing. There­fore, at the Red Mud Read­ing Camp, “move­ment” is the main con­cern. The camp now has a dai­ly sports meet, called “Dai­ly Sports Meet,” where every­one can enjoy what­ev­er they like, regard­less of age or for­mat. And good results aren’t nec­es­sar­i­ly deter­mined by phys­i­cal strength or size; every­one can have their own best event and record.

At the read­ing camp, there are end­less sports activ­i­ties. As long as you have enough time, there are end­less vari­ety. Adults and chil­dren alike will enjoy it!

2) It’s no exag­ger­a­tion to describe these chil­dren as quick as a cun­ning rab­bit, yet qui­et as a pine tree. Watch­ing them qui­et­ly read­ing is tru­ly enjoy­able. Even if some par­ents ini­tial­ly com­plained that their chil­dren did­n’t enjoy read­ing, after dai­ly silent read­ing time, every­one (includ­ing the adults) quick­ly became absorbed in the read­ing process. In this regard, adult role mod­els are cru­cial!

3) Every aspect of the camp, includ­ing morn­ing recita­tion and singing, mag­ic crafts, mag­ic stone soup, out­door group games, movie screen­ings, themed book clubs, pic­ture book dra­ma per­for­mances, and sto­ry­telling com­pe­ti­tions, is inte­grat­ed with read­ing. Read­ing seam­less­ly con­nects with dai­ly life, allow­ing read­ers to read for the sake of read­ing with­out hav­ing to make a con­scious effort.

4) Even in a free, open, and com­fort­able envi­ron­ment, cer­tain con­straints are nec­es­sary; and a cer­tain degree of restraint is, in fact, a guar­an­tee of achiev­ing the ide­al state. Based on past expe­ri­ence, the read­ing camp set three rules in advance: campers must learn self-man­age­ment and self-ser­vice, includ­ing the require­ment that campers, both young and old, wash their own dish­es after every meal. Sur­pris­ing­ly, the lit­tle ones did­n’t see this as a bur­den. Appar­ent­ly, they were restrict­ed from play­ing the “wash­ing dish­es” game at home!

Wash­ing dish­es is a spec­tac­u­lar thing.
Still seri­ous?

The adults were hap­py to drink tea and chat freely.
It’s okay to be hap­py secret­ly!
