"Today's Recitation" book set for 5 and 6th grade volume editor left and right

low-level school focus on language sensitivity, and inspire philosophy at high stage

Make a set of books that can conform to children's nature and open the door to children's soul, so that children have "passion for recitation, interest in learning, and inspire thoughts". It is the selection and column design standard for the first edition of "Today's Recitation", and it is also the original intention of planning. In 2011, the Ministry of Education issued a new version of the "Compulsory Education Chinese Curriculum Standards". This version of the curriculum standards clearly put forward the recitation requirements for each stage of study, such as the first and second grades required to recite children's songs, children's poems and simple ancient poems, and the third to sixth grades required to recite excellent poems and essays. After paid attention to these requirements of the curriculum standards, Zhihuixiong developed the idea of ​​designing a set of products for students that meet the curriculum standards requirements and can serve as a useful supplement to the textbooks, so as to facilitate students to read daily.

Hu Weiye introduced that Shao Zhulei, the main planner of the book, is an old friend of Zhihuixiong and the planner of the 2014 version of "Reciting Today". "When the new curriculum standards were promulgated in 2022, the republication of "Today's Recitation" started. Our first choice planner is naturally Teacher Shao Zhulei, because she knows this set of books best. Among the editors of other volumes, Teng Yuxu is the winner of the Chen Bochui Children's Literature Award. Many articles were selected into the textbooks and had many publishing cooperation with Zhihuixiong; Zuo and Yu Xufeng were recommended by Shao Zhulei, and they have a certain reputation in the fields of children's recitation and poetry writing. The grading recitation of

[Baidao Editor's Note] In 2014,

"Fall in Falling in the Basic Education Series of Mother Language·Reciting Today" (audio reading version) mainly follows three principles: one is the stage of learning, the second is the difficulty of selecting texts, and the third is the reading goal. In terms of school stages, Zhihuixiong divides kindergarten to grade 6 into 4 school stages according to the curriculum standards, namely the transition from kindergarten to primary school, grade 1-2, grade 3-4, grade 5-6 of primary school; the difficulty of selecting articles is reflected in choosing works suitable for students of different school stages, such as the transition from kindergarten to primary school is mainly children's songs, children's poems, nursery rhymes, five-character quatrains, etc. Grades 1-2 mainly include nursery rhymes, children's poems, and five-character seven-character ancient poems. Grades 3-4 selected children's poems, new poems, prose poems, five-character regular poems, Song lyrics, and small ancient poems, and the difficulty and richness have been improved compared with the previous ones. By grades 5-6, Chinese and foreign poetry and prose were added. In addition to the small ancient poems and prose that were previously available, ancient poems and prose were also selected into the selection of Han Yuefu and the Book of Songs. 's grading of reading goals, the lower stage of school focuses on children's language sensitivity, allowing children to perceive the beauty of language and feel gentle emotions through the recitation of language with harmonious and poetic rhythm. In the middle and high school stages, children are gradually guided to pay attention to the rich imagination and philosophy contained in the selected articles, so that children can think about reading, understand something, enrich emotions, and love life.

Shao Zhulei said that the "Today's Recitation" series is an important work in her book planning career. "I have invested a lot of effort for it, and it is also a set of books that I personally love very much. I am very happy to rebuild new clothes for her!" According to her, there are four differences between the new version of "Today's Recitation" and the previous version: first, added the "Kind and Primary School connection" volume, making the staircase distribution of "graded recitation" more rationalized, and achieving effective connection between children's recitation in the transitional stage of young children; second, increased the number of classical poetry and essays, with 2 fixed units per unit; second, increased the number of selected essays in classical poetry and essays. First (part), and the reading of small ancient Chinese essays is advanced to the third grade, guiding primary school students to start at the appropriate age stage, gradually appreciate the profound and profound classical Chinese essence and feel the style of China's excellent traditional culture; third , the appendix part has been changed from the original classic Chinese studies excerpt to "children's poems", encouraging children to write children's poems intently, building a bridge of reading and writing, and inspiring more children to fall in love with recitation and poetry - Since its listing, this section has won unanimous praise from teachers and students; fourth , every selected article can be scanned to listen and read, and professionally lead the audio to eliminate dyslexia for children and set a good reading demonstration.

Selection criteria: Fall in love with your mother tongue, nourish your soul, and cultivate your character

set of books includes both modern Chinese and foreign poetry, lyrics and music, and why is it arranged like this? Shao Zhulei told Baidao.com that "Reciting Today" "does not only love the ancients in today's people." When selecting articles, the editors only seek to select classics, regardless of the past and present, China and abroad. Therefore, the poems they selected are not bound by the Tang Dynasty, and the lyrics and music must be Song and Yuan Dynasty. The small ancient texts range from old textbooks of the Republic of China to fables, idioms, historical stories, famous prose and collections of classics, history and collections of classics, history and literature... In the arrangement of ancient poems, lyrics and music, the whole book follows the rules of upgrading from easy to difficult, from shallow to deep, and implements the concept of "graded recitation" throughout the book. "We hope that children can perceive the beauty of the native language by reciting these classic works, appreciate the pure beauty of Chinese characters, and even touch the rich core of literary classics. Reciting is not memorizing, there is no need to be pressured, and the amount of gain after reading is not divided. It is a great harvest if you only take one scoop! reads classics from ancient and modern times, recites loudly, and thinks with your heart. This is an indispensable part of the children's reading process, and it is also a journey of growth for a person's heart to be truthful, good and beautiful. " she said.

"Falling in Love with the Basic Education Series of Mother Language·Reciting Today" (audio reading version) has a total of 7 volumes, including the transition from kindergarten to primary school and grades 1-6 of primary school. each volume is divided into upper and lower volumes, corresponding to two semesters of spring and autumn. Each volume is divided into 16 units according to 16 teaching weeks, and is recited every day from Monday to Friday. The reading of preschool children mainly involves children's songs, nursery rhymes, and children's poems. The key point of "Today's Recitation·Transfer of Young and Primary School" is to let children feel happiness, awaken their imaginations, and feel the beauty through recitation.To this end, in the "Reciting and Thinking" part of this volume, Zhihuixiong strengthened his guidance on "Reciting" techniques, such as the prompts of related gestures or games during recitation, the grasp of intonation and emotions, etc.; in the "Reciting" part, he still focuses on caring for the childlike innocence and interest, and focuses on guiding children's emotions and imagination.

Shao Zhulei pointed out that how to achieve the smooth connection between children's transition from kindergarten to primary school is the pain point for preschool children. The primary school transition volume selection is very consistent with the reading characteristics and reading interest of five or six-year-old children. It also selects all 13 ancient poems from the first grade Chinese textbook (unified editing). The goal is to let children read this book, get close to the warm and friendly mother tongue, and feel the interesting poetry, so as to arouse their interest in reading, let the fragrance of books accompany them to grow, let the poetry slowly soak their young hearts, and guide and accompany them into a more exciting elementary school life.

[Baidao Editor's Note] In 2014,

"Fall in love with your mother tongue, nourish your soul, and cultivate your character" is the feature of "Reciting Today" and is also the editor's literal selection standard. Only when you are close to your mother tongue can you fall in love with your mother tongue. Therefore, the editors should select the best mother tongue works for your children, and it is also the classic work that children are most willing to be close to, so that the beautiful, simple and timeless Chinese texture can be quietly touched by the children's loud reading. Shao Zhulei revealed that in the face of a vast sea of ​​similar texts, her selection criteria are very clear. People with homogeneity and different types can choose, while those who do not meet the standards will not compromise. There are also many times when they are reluctant to give up. When selecting the works of Jin Xiaojie, a representative poet born in the 1990s, she read a large number of Jin Xiaojie's poetry works from the perspective of teacher. These campus poems are short and beautiful, and have a strong poetic flavor, but they are inevitably mixed with some feelings that children cannot understand, so she had to give up. But in the final review stage of the book, some manuscripts needed to be adjusted due to copyright issues, so she remembered Jin Xiaojie's poems that kept her indifference. She continued to select and read from her published works, and finally successfully salvaged a song "The Countryside", which was light and cute, and was enough to enjoy the readers.

"Today's Recitation·Fifth Grade" "Today's Recitation·Sixth Grade" is increasingly focusing on the cultivation of primary school students' imagination, language organization ability, thinking ability and composition logic, and more and more focusing on their accumulation and understanding of ancient literature, and more and more focusing on their interest guidance and ideological enlightenment in modern and contemporary literature. These needs can be obviously improved through their daily recitation. About , the chief editor of several best-selling picture books of poetry, so it is already familiar to him to collect poetry, but relatively speaking, collecting essays, ancient Chinese and other works is a huge challenge for him. Because he had to go back to his elementary school years, think, measure, lower his figure, look to the future, and choose works for his children that can improve their minds and spirits from all aspects. When selecting articles, he did a lot of work and had to search for many books (including referring to primary school Chinese during the Republic of China period), and digging from many excellent teaching aids in the past...

"What impressed me the most was that when I asked for works by some writers and poets, many writers wanted to be selected when they heard that they were written for children. They provided me with excellent works many times, for fear that their works would not be selected, and they were full of great expectations for being selected for this book. This moved me very much, and I was told by them. I was moved by the sincerity and obsession with literature, and I chose a few more articles during the preliminary selection. "The left and right said that as the instructor of "Children's Poems" in "Today's Recitation", he was full of curiosity and appreciation of the various styles written by children. If there are some standards, on the basis of encouragement, is more inclined to those poems in the works that are full of imagination, language fun, childlike, and intelligent, and simple and pure poems related to beauty that children find in their daily lives. "The biggest gain of being editor-in-chief is that while they grow up, I also grow up with them. We all achieve each other." When talking about the experience of editing books, I said this.

Innovation: Pay attention to the correlation between poetry and the development of children's character

"Falling in Love with the Basic Education Series of Mother Language·Today's Recitation" (audio reading version) and the 2014 version of "Today's Recitation", the appearance and content have obvious changes, which are unique. In terms of appearance, the book is larger than before, and the font size meets the "Sanitary Requirements for Myopia Prevention and Control of Children and Adolescents". The original four-color printing was changed to spot color printing, which is clearer and does not interfere with the focus of reading. There are four main highlights of

[Baidao Editor's Note] In 2014,

in the content. first is the selection mode. Each unit of adopts the selection mode of "3+2". "3" is three modern and contemporary Chinese and foreign poetry and prose, and "2" means two classical poetry and prose, and each book has 64 classical poetry and prose. Try to select more poems that reflect excellent traditional culture to cultivate children's cultural confidence. is followed by reading and check-in . Zhihuixiong invited professional teachers to record audio for each selected article, and set up a check-in column on the Zhihuixiong Zhike platform to allow children to have input and output from listening to reading, and develop good reading habits. Third, pay attention to the development of children's character. is mainly reflected in the settings of two columns. The "Recite and Think" column allows children not only to read, but also to understand and associate; the "Think and Action" section uses real scenes closely related to learning and life to guide children to develop essential qualities such as courage, confidence, and concentration. Finally, there is a collection of children's poems and poems. At the end of each volume, there is a "child's poems". These poems are the expression of children's combination of reading, thinking and writing. At the same time, in order to allow children's poems to flow into a broader world, Zhihuixiong also launched a collection of poems "Children's Heart Writing Children's Poems in Childhood" at the end of the book, providing more children with an opportunity to express their hearts.

In an interview with Baidao.com, Hu Weiye concluded that there are already many excellent children's recitation products on the market, and everyone has their own advantages and wants to provide children with a good recitation text. In her eyes, the biggest innovation of "Falling in Love with the Basic Education Series of Mother Language·Today's Recitation" (audio reading version) is to pay attention to the relevance of poetry and children's character development , which is consistent with the concept of "committed to let every teenager create excellent character through reading" that Zhihuixiong has always emphasized, so that children can not only experience the beauty of words and rhythm, but also gain the essential excellent character through reading. The other is recitation service. Now book products are only one aspect of publishing. Through professional recitation services, Zhihuixiong establishes a good connection with young readers, so that readers can obtain not only a book, but can complete a small reading cycle through supporting services.

[Baidao Editor's Note] In 2014,

Shao Zhulei said that in the process of writing this set of books, the part she spent the most energy on was the finalization stage of the topic selection and later stages. In the early days of , Shao Zhulei and Chen Min and Hao Ping, the main planning members of Zhihuixiong, conducted many communications and repeated discussions on how to make "Falling in Love with the Basic Education Series of Mother Language·Reciting Today" (audio reading version) achieve upgrade and optimization through addition, deletion, modification and inspection on the basis of the old version, and finally determined the unified editing idea. This process is extremely cumbersome and very necessary. After the post-production manuscript was completed, Shao Zhulei and Hu Weiye completed each volume one by one. Single article retraction, whole volume adjustment, unit theme wiring, source verification by article... "Improve in repetition, optimize in changes, as editors, we are the original readers of this set of books, and the most serious and strict readers. Eliminating the drought and creating fine works is our common pursuit and expectation when editing this set of books. As we said in the beginning of "Editor's Note": When children meet poetry, a beautiful childhood will reside in the poetic world; when reciting becomes happiness, the crystal childlike innocence will be immersed in the nourishment of literature. For the published "Recitation Today", this is my most sincere expectation. I hope that every child who reads this set of books can fall in love with his mother tongue, cultivate his mind, encounter poetry, and realize the beauty..." she said.

After the editors confirmed the selection, the task of obtaining copyright fell on the editors of the Wisdom Bear.Hu Weiye revealed that due to the impact of the epidemic, they could not contact the author. It took more than two months for the copyright to be obtained by the selected Qian Chunqi's translation work. In addition, the selection of "Morning Reading and Rhyme" by Mr. Ding Cikuang was exclusively authorized to other publishers, and Zhihuixiong and the author also had multiple contacts and repeated communications. Fortunately, my efforts were rewarded, and these good poems finally met readers in "Falling in Love with the Basic Education Series of Mother Languages·Reciting Today" (audio reading version).

After the release of the "double reduction" policy, students' homework has decreased, the difficulty of inspection has decreased, students' free learning time has increased, and coupled with the promotion of the national reading policy, it is a favorable opportunity for reading products at present. " "Today's Recitation" hopes to take advantage of this opportunity to protect children's recitation with high-quality recitation content and good recitation services. " Hu Weiye said that the development and promotion of "Falling in Love with the Basic Education Series of Mother Language·Today's Recitation" (audio reading version) is a good attempt by Zhixiong in addition to reading classics, enriching the product line of Zhixiong's reading books, and at the same time helps Zhixiong accumulate a large number of copyright resources and high-quality authors. In the subsequent product development, Smart Bear will continue to expand traditional cultural reading products, such as small ancient Chinese essays, poetry, etc. These books are being edited in a tense manner and will meet you at the end of the year.
