    Friends often ask: How to tell sto\u00adries using pic\u00adture books?<\/strong>
\n   
\nShould I read accord\u00ading to the words in the book, or can I express myself freely based on my under\u00adstand\u00ading and needs?
\n   
\nIf you only read the words in a book, what should you do if you encounter a pic\u00adture with no words?
\n   
\nWhen read\u00ading pic\u00adture books to chil\u00addren, do you need to ask ques\u00adtions or com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adcate with them in oth\u00ader ways?
\n   
\nShould you per\u00adform for your chil\u00addren with pas\u00adsion, expres\u00adsion, and ges\u00adtures, or should you read qui\u00adet\u00adly?
\n   
\nShould you read the book repeat\u00aded\u00adly and pre\u00adpare thor\u00adough\u00adly before\u00adhand, or is it bet\u00adter to enjoy the first read\u00ading expe\u00adri\u00adence with your child?
\n   
\nWhat should you pay atten\u00adtion to if you are fac\u00ading a group of chil\u00addren instead of just one or two?
\n   
\nWhen a child inter\u00adrupts and asks a ques\u00adtion while you are telling a sto\u00adry, should you answer or how should you respond?
\n   
\nIs it pos\u00adsi\u00adble to inter\u00adsperse a few com\u00adments while telling a sto\u00adry, or invite the audi\u00adence to dis\u00adcuss it?
\n   
\nBefore telling a sto\u00adry, how can you warm up and guide the audi\u00adence to more eas\u00adi\u00adly cap\u00adture their inter\u00adest?
\n   
\nAfter telling the sto\u00adry, do you need to ask ques\u00adtions, make com\u00adments, or invite the audi\u00adence to dis\u00adcuss?
\n   
\n\u2026
\n   
\nThere are actu\u00adal\u00adly many more ques\u00adtions like this.
\n 
\n   
\nTo answer these ques\u00adtions, I invit\u00aded a for\u00adeign assis\u00adtant to show you the whole process of telling a sto\u00adry with a pic\u00adture book. The pic\u00adture book he used was the Eng\u00adlish ver\u00adsion of Where the Wild Things Are.
\nThe Wild Things Are, the Chi\u00adnese ver\u00adsion of this book has also been pub\u00adlished by Tomor\u00adrow Pub\u00adlish\u00ading House (Chi\u00adnese ver\u00adsion link<\/a>), I am hon\u00adored to have been the trans\u00adla\u00adtor of this book.
\n   
\nIt\u2019s a bit of a shame that my for\u00adeign assis\u00adtant does\u00adn\u2019t speak Chi\u00adnese (even a three-year-old in Chi\u00adna can\u2019t). How\u00adev\u00ader, he speaks excel\u00adlent Eng\u00adlish, very stan\u00addard Amer\u00adi\u00adcan Eng\u00adlish. Even more remark\u00adable is that he and his wife often tell sto\u00adries to the chil\u00addren. They are both very skilled sto\u00adry\u00adtellers and are very pop\u00adu\u00adlar with the chil\u00addren. Of course, this does\u00adn\u2019t pre\u00advent him from engag\u00ading in polit\u00adi\u00adcal activ\u00adi\u00adties in his spare time, but I don\u2019t know much about this. What\u2019s more note\u00adwor\u00adthy is that he tru\u00adly loves the book \u201cWhere the Wild Things Are\u201d and once said to his wife, \u201cI am Max, and Max is me.\u201d \u2014 To be hon\u00adest, I do look a bit like him. \u2014 Per\u00adhaps because of this, the author and painter Mr. Sendak signed sev\u00ader\u00adal books spe\u00adcial\u00adly for him and his daugh\u00adter.
\n   
\nOkay, enough of the small talk. Let my for\u00adeign assis\u00adtant tell the sto\u00adry first.
\n <\/p>\n

Oba\u00adma tells the sto\u00adry \u201cWhere the Wild Things Are\u201d (East\u00ader 2009, White House lawn)
\n 
\n   
\nHow\u2019s it going? My for\u00adeign assis\u00adtant is pret\u00adty good, isn\u2019t he? 
\n   
\nThere are many things to admire about his sto\u00adry\u00adtelling skills, but I think there are only two basic points:
\n   
\nFirst, when telling a sto\u00adry with a pic\u00adture book, he should try to face the audi\u00adence so that the chil\u00addren can see the pic\u00adtures as much as pos\u00adsi\u00adble (his wife kept remind\u00ading him of this, which shows that she is a good wife);
\n   
\nSec\u00adond, you have to real\u00adly like the sto\u00adry you tell.
\n 
\n   
\nWhen it comes to sto\u00adry\u00adtelling through pic\u00adture books, Tai\u00adwanese com\u00adpa\u00adtri\u00adots have been ahead of main\u00adland Chi\u00adna for two or three decades. They have accu\u00admu\u00adlat\u00aded a wealth of valu\u00adable expe\u00adri\u00adence, par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar\u00adly the \u201cLit\u00adtle Big Read\u00ading Club\u201d mod\u00adel and the \u201cCater\u00adpil\u00adlar Chil\u00addren\u2019s Phi\u00adlos\u00ado\u00adphy Foun\u00adda\u00adtion,\u201d which are both clear and sys\u00adtem\u00adat\u00adic. The key points of these two mod\u00adels can be sum\u00adma\u00adrized as fol\u00adlows.

\n   
\n1. Hold the pic\u00adture book in hand and let the child appre\u00adci\u00adate it, and avoid point\u00ading with your hands;
\n   
\n2. Find a suit\u00adable place to stand and take the audi\u00adence into full con\u00adsid\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion;
\n   
\n3. Stay true to the work and read the text direct\u00adly with\u00adout adding any embell\u00adish\u00adments. How\u00adev\u00ader, you may appro\u00adpri\u00adate\u00adly enhance the changes in voice by using dif\u00adfer\u00adent emo\u00adtions and into\u00adna\u00adtions.
\n   
\nFourth, fol\u00adlow the prin\u00adci\u00adple of \u201cread the words when there are words, and turn the pages qui\u00adet\u00adly when there are no words\u201d as much as pos\u00adsi\u00adble, and do not inter\u00adrupt the read\u00ading to add thoughts, com\u00adments or ques\u00adtions;
\n   
\n5. To avoid sim\u00adply read\u00ading aloud, you can pre\u00adpare a large num\u00adber of pic\u00adture books at the same time, and design and arrange some exten\u00adsion activ\u00adi\u00adties after read\u00ading.

\nThe main pur\u00adpose is to inspire chil\u00addren to: \u2460 be con\u00adcerned about the inter\u00adest\u00ading or con\u00adfus\u00ading parts of the sto\u00adry; \u2461 think and dis\u00adcuss fur\u00adther, and guide chil\u00addren to devel\u00adop the habit of ratio\u00adnal think\u00ading.
\n    *
\n\u201cInter\u00adrup\u00adtion Method\u201d (Col\u00adlab\u00ado\u00adra\u00adtive Think\u00ading Method): Be ready to dis\u00adcuss at any time. Books are just a medi\u00adum to lead chil\u00addren into dia\u00adlogue and dis\u00adcus\u00adsion.
\n    *
\nPay atten\u00adtion to the spon\u00adta\u00adneous ques\u00adtions that chil\u00addren real\u00adly care about; lis\u00adten care\u00adful\u00adly to under\u00adstand the real mean\u00ading; the sto\u00adry\u00adteller is only a guide, not a stan\u00addard answer or knowl\u00adedge base.
\n 
\n   
\nObserv\u00ading the sto\u00adry\u00adtelling style of Mr. Oba\u00adma, the for\u00adeign assis\u00adtant, from these two per\u00adspec\u00adtives, it is not only seri\u00adous\u00adly incon\u00adsis\u00adtent with the \u201csmall and big\u201d mod\u00adel, but also has a cer\u00adtain dis\u00adtance from the \u201ccater\u00adpil\u00adlar\u201d mod\u00adel.
\n   
\nSo how should we tell sto\u00adries?
\n   
\nHaha, my opin\u00adion is rel\u00ada\u00adtive\u00adly sim\u00adple:Read it as you like, as you like, as you like. Just read it, just read it\u2026<\/strong>
