\u3010Spe\u00adcial Note\u3011<\/b><\/p>\n
Each word in the Cross For\u00admu\u00adla rep\u00adre\u00adsents a type of game\u00adplay. They are just some com\u00admon ones and do not cov\u00ader all. In addi\u00adtion, it does not mean that every book is suit\u00adable for all kinds of game\u00adplay, nor does it mean that every\u00adone is suit\u00adable for all kinds of game\u00adplay. They are more like an inspir\u00ading exam\u00adple. Every\u00adone can use the appro\u00adpri\u00adate book and adopt the appro\u00adpri\u00adate game\u00adplay accord\u00ading to their own strengths. In addi\u00adtion, these game\u00adplays are not designed specif\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly for chil\u00addren. Adults can play with them if they want. Real good \u201cmud\u201d is loved by both adults and chil\u00addren.<\/p>\n
\u3010Detailed Expla\u00adna\u00adtion of the Cross For\u00admu\u00adla\u3011<\/b><\/p>\n
(1) Speak\u00ading<\/p>\n
1. Sing: Some pic\u00adture books can be sung, or they them\u00adselves have lyrics or con\u00adtain lyrics, such as Su Wu Shep\u00adherd\u00ading Sheep, Five Lit\u00adtle
\nDucks, We\u2019re Going on a Bear
\nHunt (\u201cWe Go Bear Hunt\u00ading\u201d); to be more broad, we should include nurs\u00adery rhymes, such as \u201cA Gar\u00adden of Veg\u00adeta\u00adbles Became a Spir\u00adit\u201d and \u201cThe Mouse Gets a Bride\u201d; or the sto\u00adry in the book comes from a song, such as \u201cJoseph Has an Old Coat\u201d, or a poem that can be chant\u00aded, such as \u201cDawn\u201d; or the folk tale itself has a famil\u00adiar song, such as \u201cPulling the Car\u00adrot\u201d and \u201cLit\u00adtle Red Rid\u00ading Hood\u201d; and even more amaz\u00ading is that when the sto\u00adry\u00adteller is in the mood, he will impro\u00advise a tune based on the text of the pic\u00adture book and sing it. For exam\u00adple, I have heard the sto\u00adry\u00adteller sing \u201cThe Miss\u00ading Piece\u201d, which is great.<\/p>\n
2. Read\u00ading: With the excep\u00adtion of word\u00adless books, almost any pic\u00adture book can be read. Hav\u00ading the audi\u00adence look at the pic\u00adtures while the sto\u00adry\u00adteller reads the words (read\u00ading aloud or read\u00ading aloud) is the sim\u00adplest and most effec\u00adtive way to engage with the sto\u00adry. Some\u00adtimes, we find some books dif\u00adfi\u00adcult to read. The rea\u00adsons are: \u2460 We\u2019re not ready; \u2461 The text in the pic\u00adture book is sim\u00adply not good (not suit\u00adable for read\u00ading); \u2462 Or, they sim\u00adply don\u2019t fit the audi\u00adence.<\/p>\n
Almost every\u00adone who can read can read, so peo\u00adple often under\u00ades\u00adti\u00admate this \u201cread\u00ading\u201d method. How\u00adev\u00ader, in my opin\u00adion, it\u2019s the most advanced of all the ways to play with pic\u00adture books (I inten\u00adtion\u00adal\u00adly omit\u00adted \u201cone of\u201d). A true mas\u00adter should be able to read right away, act\u00ading as a spe\u00adcial lis\u00adten\u00ader, observ\u00ading the pic\u00adtures and lis\u00adten\u00ading to the sounds (their own) along\u00adside oth\u00aders, enter\u00ading the authen\u00adtic world of the pic\u00adture book sto\u00adry. This requires dili\u00adgent study, dili\u00adgent read\u00ading, and con\u00adtem\u00adpla\u00adtion, and, of course, a gen\u00aduine love for the book.<\/p>\n
3. Speak\u00ading: Some pic\u00adture books require dis\u00adcus\u00adsion, such as word\u00adless books. But there are many oth\u00ader pic\u00adture books that deserve dis\u00adcus\u00adsion beyond just read\u00ading. For exam\u00adple, books like \u201cSu Wu Shep\u00adherd\u00ading Sheep\u201d and \u201cPeking Opera Cats\u201d are dif\u00adfi\u00adcult for lis\u00adten\u00aders to under\u00adstand with\u00adout some dis\u00adcus\u00adsion, as the cul\u00adtur\u00adal con\u00adtext is inevitably unfa\u00admil\u00adiar to young lis\u00adten\u00aders. Oth\u00ader sto\u00adry\u00adtellers are high\u00adly skilled, and they might need to include a punch\u00adline or a splen\u00addid musi\u00adcal flour\u00adish dur\u00ading their sto\u00adry\u00adtelling, which is also fine. How\u00adev\u00ader, in these cas\u00ades, the pic\u00adture book in hand is mere\u00adly a sup\u00adport\u00ading medi\u00adum. If the pic\u00adture book is the main char\u00adac\u00adter, the sto\u00adry\u00adteller needs to some\u00adwhat sup\u00adpress their tal\u00adent and be more restrained.<\/p>\n
The \u201ctelling\u201d here is dif\u00adfer\u00adent from \u201cchat\u00adting\u201d. It main\u00adly refers to telling sto\u00adries apart from the text of the pic\u00adture book, while \u201cchat\u00adting\u201d means talk\u00ading beyond the sto\u00adry.<\/p>\n
(2) Hands-on<\/p>\n
4. Do: This mnemon\u00adic word \u201cdo\u201d encom\u00adpass\u00ades a wide range of activ\u00adi\u00adties, encom\u00adpass\u00ading any\u00adthing that requires hands-on inter\u00adac\u00adtion rather than draw\u00ading, act\u00ading, or eat\u00ading. This includes crafts, games, exer\u00adcise, and so on. While it may seem like a way to enter\u00adtain a pic\u00adture book, engag\u00ading in this activ\u00adi\u00adty can also be ben\u00ade\u00adfi\u00adcial to under\u00adstand\u00ading the book. For exam\u00adple, after read\u00ading \u201cThe Flower Granny,\u201d you might plant flow\u00aders; after read\u00ading \u201cPulling the Radish,\u201d you might play tug-of-war; after read\u00ading \u201cThe Lit\u00adtle Black Fish,\u201d you might play music games; after read\u00ading \u201cA Gar\u00adden of Green Veg\u00adeta\u00adbles Becomes a Spir\u00adit,\u201d you might stroll the veg\u00adetable gar\u00adden or form groups to play war games. Many sto\u00adry\u00adtellers, espe\u00adcial\u00adly teach\u00aders, have been quite cre\u00adative in this area, such as Teacher Fang Suzhen\u2019s hand\u00admade books, which are tru\u00adly excep\u00adtion\u00adal. Appro\u00adpri\u00adate\u00adly applied, read\u00ading can trans\u00adform into a tru\u00adly engag\u00ading game.<\/p>\n
5. Paint\u00adings: Excel\u00adlent pic\u00adture books are like art gal\u00adleries on paper, allow\u00ading read\u00aders to not only appre\u00adci\u00adate mas\u00adter\u00adpieces from a wide range of styles and cul\u00adtur\u00adal back\u00adgrounds but also nat\u00adu\u00adral\u00adly inspire some to take up their own brush\u00ades. How\u00adev\u00ader, it\u2019s impor\u00adtant to under\u00adstand that the images in pic\u00adture books are pri\u00admar\u00adi\u00adly used to con\u00advey sto\u00adries and emo\u00adtions. There\u00adfore, for young read\u00aders, the most inspir\u00ading cre\u00adative impuls\u00ades are often not those that adults con\u00adsid\u00ader ornate, but rather sim\u00adple, unpre\u00adten\u00adtious, and straight\u00adfor\u00adward works, such as \u201cMiffy,\u201d \u201cRain\u00adbow Flow\u00aders,\u201d \u201cHap\u00adpy Birth\u00adday, Moon!\u201d, \u201cThe Very Hun\u00adgry Cater\u00adpil\u00adlar,\u201d \u201cThe Very Hun\u00adgry Snake,\u201d and \u201cPlaid Ele\u00adphant.\u201d<\/p>\n
6. Act\u00ading: Pic\u00adture books with char\u00adac\u00adters are gen\u00ader\u00adal\u00adly playable. The sim\u00adplest way to act out the sto\u00adry is to read it aloud in dif\u00adfer\u00adent roles, such as \u201cCroc\u00ado\u00addile is Afraid of the Den\u00adtist\u201d and \u201cThe Giv\u00ading Tree.\u201d How\u00adev\u00ader, it\u2019s even more fun to add props. The recent\u00adly released \u201cPigsy and the Big Bad Wolf\u201d includes masks for act\u00ading out, which is quite thought\u00adful. How\u00adev\u00ader, if read\u00aders are will\u00ading to put in a lit\u00adtle effort and incor\u00adpo\u00adrate the \u201cdo\u201d prin\u00adci\u00adple, they can also make their own inter\u00adest\u00ading masks or pup\u00adpets to act out the sto\u00adry.<\/p>\n
A bit of advice from expe\u00adri\u00adence: if you are in kinder\u00adgarten or school, it is suit\u00adable to choose sto\u00adries with many char\u00adac\u00adters and vivid images, such as \u201cThe Gruffa\u00adlo\u201d, \u201cThe Bre\u00admen Musi\u00adcians\u201d, \u201cI Choose Myself\u201d, \u201cWho Pulled on My Head\u201d, and \u201cDuck on a Bicy\u00adcle\u201d. Occa\u00adsion\u00adal\u00adly, you can also choose sto\u00adries with few\u00ader char\u00adac\u00adters, but it is best to take turns to per\u00adform, such as \u201cTrue Friends\u201d.<\/p>\n
7. Eat\u00ading: This is the most cre\u00adative activ\u00adi\u00adty, as there are plen\u00adty of pic\u00adture books about food, but few actu\u00adal\u00adly teach you how to eat. You\u2019ll need to come up with your own ideas. For exam\u00adple, after read\u00ading \u201cGreen Eggs and Ham,\u201d you might just want to try mak\u00ading a dish. Or \u201cCloud Bread\u201d\u2014bread is easy, clouds are hard to come by! You can also try \u201cStone Soup\u201d or \u201cAngry Soup.\u201d And after read\u00ading \u201cZi\u2019er, Tutu,\u201d try using papaya or water\u00admel\u00adon. Some pic\u00adture books even have recipes, like \u201cApple Pan\u00adcakes\u201d from \u201cPassy the Rab\u00adbit,\u201d and the recent\u00adly released \u201cMrs. Mof\u00adfrey\u2019s Mon\u00adster,\u201d which has a cake recipe. The recipes in \u201cGul\u00adley and Gula\u201d are pret\u00adty much fairy\u00adtale recipes.<\/p>\n
(3) Brain Train\u00ading<\/p>\n
8. Deci\u00adpher\u00ading: This seem\u00ading\u00adly most tech\u00adni\u00adcal approach is suit\u00adable for read\u00aders who enjoy tech\u00adni\u00adcal and detec\u00adtive games. \u201cDeci\u00adpher\u00ading\u201d means crack\u00ading or solv\u00ading a mys\u00adtery. Some pic\u00adture books tru\u00adly require deci\u00adpher\u00ading to be enjoy\u00adable, such as Antho\u00adny Browne\u2019s works, which are almost all rich\u00adly detailed. With\u00adout deci\u00adpher\u00ading works like \u201cGoril\u00adla,\u201d \u201cMy Father,\u201d and \u201cVoic\u00ades,\u201d the fun would be great\u00adly dimin\u00adished. The pur\u00adpose of deci\u00adpher\u00ading a pic\u00adture book is pri\u00admar\u00adi\u00adly to uncov\u00ader the sto\u00adry hid\u00adden beneath the sur\u00adface, not to devel\u00adop diver\u00adgent or extend\u00aded asso\u00adci\u00ada\u00adtions. For exam\u00adple, con\u00adsid\u00ader the sto\u00adry of the tiger cart and the frog in Janosz\u2019s \u201cHel\u00adlo, Lit\u00adtle Pig!\u201d, the sto\u00adry of the ant wear\u00ading a hat in \u201cThe Ant and the Water\u00admel\u00adon,\u201d and the sto\u00adry of the mouse fam\u00adi\u00adly in \u201cGrand\u00adpa Will Find a Way.\u201d There are also deep\u00ader sto\u00adries, such as the more metaphor\u00adi\u00adcal ones in \u201cIn the For\u00adest.\u201d Peng Yi\u2019s \u201cPic\u00adture Books: Read\u00ading and Clas\u00adsics\u201d focus\u00ades on the joy of deci\u00adpher\u00ading pic\u00adture books.<\/p>\n
Study\u00ading pic\u00adture books requires a spir\u00adit of \u201cbreak\u00ading\u201d. The most per\u00adsis\u00adtent per\u00adson in this regard is Pro\u00adfes\u00adsor Nord\u00adman of Cana\u00adda. He once wrote a poem for the first page of the book \u201cGoing on a Riv\u00ader with Uncle Gam\u201d (which read \u201cThis
\nis Mr.
\nGumpy\u201d (lit\u00ader\u00adal\u00adly \u201cThis is Mr. Gumpy\u201d, trans\u00adlat\u00aded into Chi\u00adnese as \u201cHe is Uncle Gump\u201d). David Lewis from the UK is also quite capa\u00adble, hav\u00ading writ\u00adten an 11-page essay on \u201cOops, Lit\u00adtle Red Rid\u00ading Hood\u201d. And there is Jane Dunant, whose book \u201cSee\u00ading the Pic\u00adtures in Pic\u00adture Books\u201d main\u00adly ana\u00adlyzes two books: \u201cThe Lamb Could Not Sleep\u201d and \u201cA Cloudy Day\u201d.<\/p>\n
How\u00adev\u00ader, I think it is nec\u00ades\u00adsary to remind you that although \u201cbreak\u00ading\u201d is very pro\u00adfes\u00adsion\u00adal and fun, it can also lead to \u201cobses\u00adsion\u201d, so be care\u00adful!<\/p>\n
9. Chat: This seems like the eas\u00adi\u00adest way to engage in con\u00adver\u00adsa\u00adtion, and it\u2019s actu\u00adal\u00adly the most com\u00admon method used in dai\u00adly life. Of course, it\u2019s often not used effec\u00adtive\u00adly. For exam\u00adple, even though it\u2019s a very inter\u00adest\u00ading sto\u00adry, it\u2019s tempt\u00ading to chase the child with ques\u00adtions like: How many goats, wolves, piglets, and hunters are there in the sto\u00adry? What clothes did the wolves wear? What did the goats say? What did the hunters do? And what moral does this sto\u00adry teach us? \u2026 This kind of con\u00adver\u00adsa\u00adtion is worse than not engag\u00ading in con\u00adver\u00adsa\u00adtion at all. There\u00adfore, Tai\u00adwan\u2019s \u201cLit\u00adtle Big Read\u00ading Club\u201d specif\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly advo\u00adcates \u201cread\u00ading the words when there are words, and qui\u00adet\u00adly flip\u00adping through the book when there are no words.\u201d This is prob\u00ada\u00adbly intend\u00aded to pre\u00advent this kind of bor\u00ading book talk.<\/p>\n
How to talk about books with chil\u00addren? This is a pro\u00adfound sub\u00adject. Cham\u00adbers once wrote a book specif\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly titled \u201cTalk About It,\u201d the Chi\u00adnese ver\u00adsion of which is includ\u00aded in \u201cCre\u00adat\u00ading a Read\u00ading Envi\u00adron\u00adment for Chil\u00addren.\u201d How\u00adev\u00ader, even if you\u2019ve read the book, it does\u00adn\u2019t nec\u00ades\u00adsar\u00adi\u00adly mean you\u2019re ready to start a con\u00adver\u00adsa\u00adtion. More impor\u00adtant\u00adly, we need to be gen\u00aduine\u00adly inter\u00adest\u00aded in the book, just as inter\u00adest\u00aded as the child. If you haven\u2019t done your home\u00adwork and aren\u2019t gen\u00aduine\u00adly inter\u00adest\u00aded, it\u2019s best not to dis\u00adcuss it. Of course, if you tem\u00adporar\u00adi\u00adly set aside the idea of \u201cwhat moral this book is sup\u00adposed to teach the child,\u201d there\u2019s noth\u00ading wrong with casu\u00adal con\u00adver\u00adsa\u00adtion. For exam\u00adple, if you read a book about wolves, you could talk about a sto\u00adry about a wolf that plagued your home\u00adtown in the moun\u00adtains as a child\u2026 This might be a bit exag\u00adger\u00adat\u00aded, but the point is to make the con\u00adver\u00adsa\u00adtion inter\u00adest\u00ading and rel\u00ade\u00advant to your own life.<\/p>\n
10. Think: Asso\u00adci\u00adat\u00ading, imag\u00adin\u00ading, let\u00adting your imag\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion run wild\u2026 This is the most per\u00adson\u00adal way to play. Once, dur\u00ading a dis\u00adcus\u00adsion about a book read\u00ading activ\u00adi\u00adty (obvi\u00adous\u00adly, no chil\u00addren were present), the top\u00adic some\u00adhow came up: \u201cLit\u00adtle Mouse\u2019s Vest.\u201d A friend who stud\u00adies phi\u00adlos\u00ado\u00adphy excit\u00aded\u00adly said, \u201cThis book is about Lao Tzu\u2019s phi\u00adlos\u00ado\u00adphy: accept\u00ading what\u00adev\u00ader hap\u00adpens, isn\u2019t it?\u201d Every\u00adone was stunned at the time, but on reflec\u00adtion, it made sense. Some might ask, \u201cCan chil\u00addren under\u00adstand this?\u201d I would counter with, \u201cDo adults real\u00adly under\u00adstand this?\u201d In the realm of thought and imag\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion, if we don\u2019t use adults as the stan\u00addard, adults don\u2019t have much advan\u00adtage over chil\u00addren.<\/p>\n
Allow enough time and space for the \u201cideas\u201d of the pic\u00adture book, and don\u2019t set lim\u00adits on the ter\u00adri\u00adto\u00adry. This kind of play has end\u00adless pos\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adties.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
