Children's poems are different from those learned by adults. Their age and psychological characteristics also determine the reading characteristics of poetry: short length, simple content, simple language, naive image, distinct rhythm and harmonious rhyme.
If you want to teach children to recite, you should also choose short poems. Generally speaking, recite no more than 8 sentences for small class children, 12 sentences for middle class children and 16 sentences for large class children.
If you want children to do actions or games with poems, you'd better choose ballads. Because the sentence patterns of ballads are more orderly, they can be recited in the form of Allegro, which is convenient to cooperate with actions, such as clapping, and some ballads are used to cooperate with small class children to do exercises.
Therefore, there is a basic principle in children's poetry reading skills, that is, from shallow to deep; Language features: children's colloquialism; The tone should be: "Soft; The tone should be "sweet", such as the following children's song-
Kittens have good skills,
Kitten, kitten, what a skill!
When you were born, you could draw. What kind of painting?
Here, a plum blossom with five petals.
Read this children's song with the recitation just now, with lively emotions, brisk tone and body movements like Xiaohua Mall's imitation.
Ballad poems are generally novel and strange, full of pure and tender childlike interest. This requires that children's naive and naughty characteristics should be combined when reciting, the intonation should be light or soft, and the body and eyes can be appropriately supplemented by movements; Pay attention to the pause, leaving room for association and aftertaste for the small audience. For example, this song "Sunflower":
I want to know what's the secret on the sun,
Stay optimistic during the day,
Look, look, I'm teasing you!
Keep your head down at night and think about it.
What's the matter, so curious?
This poem personifies sunflowers. Asking it an interesting question by "I" is not only a question of "I", but also can arouse the small audience's serious thinking. When reciting these two sentences, the speed should not be too fast, so we should pay attention to the natural pause to arouse the thinking of the small audience.
"I don't know/sun/what/secret", the stress of this sentence should fall on "I don't know" and "secret", and the suffixes of "I know" and "what" can be extended appropriately. The second sentence should emphasize "curiosity" and tone, and the end of the word "strange" should be gradually weakened. The third sentence can be combined with children's innocence and love to play, with a light tone and proper rotation of the head and eyes.
The last sentence should be in sharp contrast with the third sentence. Speak slowly and gently, and pay attention to the pause, leaving room for association and aftertaste for the small audience.
In short, when teaching children to recite poems, they should pronounce them accurately, grasp the tone of the works, and adopt the corresponding speed according to the basic rhythm of the works. The reading speed is not fixed, but varies according to the needs of expressing the content of the work.
