Do you really know how to "tell stories"?
If the child asks you, you must answer: Of course! In front of the little bastard, you still need this kind of self-confidence.
If an expert asks you, you will most likely be humble and say: I don’t know much. I believe experts are definitely better at telling stories than ordinary people.
In fact, everyone can tell stories, not to mention that there are many types of children's books nowadays, and the quality is also high. Take a book at will and read it accordingly.
But for parents, there are two major difficulties in telling stories. One is that they don’t know which story to choose is more suitable for their children and let them benefit from it. Second, I don’t know how to speak better and more excitingly, so that children will be more interested in books before reading independently.
It is indeed difficult for parents to choose books. There are too many book lists and expert recommendations online, and it is too expensive to buy them all, and the library is not complete. What's more, after buying it, some parents felt they were fooled.
Some APPs are often pushed to Yiyi Dad’s comments about picture books. When talking about some picture books, this is not OK, that is not OK. Many parents cannot understand and control themselves, so they can’t speak.
In Yiyi Dad's opinion, it is normal to step on the thunder, and who has not bought the wrong book yet. For example, there is a picture book "I speak like a river" in "Wenjin Award". I gave it to you one by one. If I didn't say halfway through it, I felt it was not good.
Actually, after reading this book, you will know that the book talks about the mental journey of children stuttering. No matter how hard the adults try, they cannot make this content vivid. For ordinary children, the content of this kind of story is not fun at all. Even if it is a work like "Wenjin Award", it is just an evaluation standard for adults.
Many times, "step on the mine" is just not suitable, not picture books. Strangely, some parents found that they had many "complaints" after buying books and going home. Before their children could feel anything, they picked out a bunch of thorns first. When they saw X, they thought of certain hints, which made them unable to stand it. Finally, they said that the book was "toxic" and did not forget to post and complain everywhere, and even reported it.
There are also some people who "consult" online. What picture books should you read at 2/3/4/5 years old? Then some "experienced people" responded that they should look at this and that they recommend this and that they are just about to be on the link. One dares to ask and the other dares to answer. Such a complex question is solved so easily?
In this way, we can understand why parents will be anxious when choosing books and telling stories for their children, because if they don’t use their brains, they will be anxious.
Of course, many parents’ anxiety solutions are self-improvement. There are many parent-child reading courses online. If you want to learn them systematically, it is OK. Maybe you can join the parent-child reading industry in the future and open a picture book museum.
Usually, reading experts will say that the first step in talking about picture books is to understand the characteristics of children's psychological development and understand the way of thinking of children of different ages, so they followed it to learn a set of Piaget .
The second step is to understand classic picture books, learn the history of the development of picture book publishing industry and awards, obtain a set of high-quality picture book bibliography, buy books according to the bibliography, or borrow from the picture book library.
There are also some advanced picture books that use various toys and interactive games to combine picture book stories to stimulate children's potential. This kind of gameplay is not something that ordinary families can do. Few people can take their children outdoors to pick up leaves when talking about "Fallen Leaves Dance". A family that can be entertained and entertained can open a kindergarten.
Only after learning it at the end did I remember that I was just to tell a story to my children, but now I have almost finished a preschool education course. However, whether you learn or not, you may encounter the same problem in the end: when parents tell stories, they can avoid reading stories, avoid reasoning, and avoid quarrels, but they cannot tell stories like experts.
But there is no need to be sad. Think about it from another perspective. If an expert tells your child a story, the child may not like to listen, even if the expert is a kindergarten teacher.
Sometimes I ask 11, how can the kindergarten teacher tell stories, she can't tell them, and she doesn't remember any stories she tells. I usually have to tell her again when I take the graded reading textbook home.
This is normal. In class, the teacher only tells the stories in the textbook once and tells them to all the children in the class. Unlike us who can tell them one-on-one at home, we can repeat them many times.

Whether the speech is good or bad, the evaluation criteria should be children, as long as the children like to listen. If you don’t like to listen to you, it’s useless to use any tricks. I love to listen to you tell stories, even if you just read them once, it is considered a success.
1-I don’t know how others tell stories. Anyway, when I tell stories, as long as time allows, just like storytelling , accompanied by a certain degree of improvisation. This will attract children to the greatest extent and experience the fun in this book.
Anyone who listens to storytelling knows that the level of storytelling is that it is more exciting than reading, and has also adapted a lot of original content. Why do you need to adapt the original content? I don’t know if you have read the “Anssen Fairy Tale” in , Ye Junjian, . It doesn’t matter if you haven’t read it. Go to the bookstore to find a book to read it. You will find that if you tell your children this kind of foreign fairy tale, don’t just talk about the original version, and use the domestic adapted version to save more effort.
Also , anyone who has told stories knows that some stories are not that exciting.
For a while, one of them would also point to the characters in the book and talk bubbles to me, what is he/she/it is saying. After I answered truthfully, she would also feel a little confused. Because when I speak, it will be converted into words that she can understand, and it will not be so vivid to use the original text directly.
For example, I saw a very fun picture book "The Unicorn Who Says Not a Tell" not long ago. There is a passage in
:
This book is more like a story for adults, with a lot of such nonsense. If you read it according to the original text, it will be quite confusing for the child. Instead of doing this, it is better not to worry about the details of how the unicorn was born, and it should return to the story itself.
Of course, this way of telling picture books is quite physically consuming, and we don’t have text, so each time we talk may be different, but the effect is still quite obvious, which is to gain happiness through storytelling.
For example, recently, one of the two pairs of "Little Pig and Little Elephant" picture books suddenly became very interested and began to imitate my storytelling method to retell the content in the book. Even if it is changed to the English version, she will speak it according to the translation content of the Chinese version, and by the way, she will also add the irrelevant content I said.
