However, children are young, their brains are not well developed, their attention span is short, their experience is shallow and their understanding is poor. Therefore, according to the characteristics of young children, we should teach them to recite ancient poems with appropriate contents and methods.
First of all, we must stimulate children's interest. Interest is an important psychological factor of children's learning motivation, and it is also the driving force for children to explore knowledge. With interest, there is intentional attention. The story is very attractive to children. Children always take pains to ask their parents to tell him stories. At this time, parents can take the opportunity to tell their children a story related to the content of the poem, and then teach them to recite the poem. For example, teaching children Lu Lun's "Song of the Wall" can tell them a story about an ancient general patrolling in the forest at night, and it was dark in the forest, mistaking the stone for a tiger and shooting an arrow into it. To arouse the child's interest and then teach him to recite poems. Parents can also choose some ancient poems whose contents are close to their children's lives, and first describe the contents of the poems to their children, so that they can feel intimate and arouse their interest.
Second, we must control the time. Children's emotions are often in an unstable state, and their attention is not very concentrated. Therefore, when teaching children to recite ancient poems, don't delay too long, and generally control it at 10-20 minutes. Parents should recite short poems to their children, and five-character quatrains and seven-character quatrains are more appropriate. Meng Haoran's Spring Dawn, Cao Zhi's Seven Steps Poetry and Gao Ding's Village Residence all belong to this category. In addition, the choice of ancient poetry should be simple and catchy, and children are often particularly interested in this kind of cadence short poem.
Third, children should be placed in a relaxed environment. Teaching children to recite ancient poems must not be forced. Children are not required to sit up straight, and parents solemnly stand aside. Children are not adapted to such an environment. When teaching children to recite ancient poems, try to make them feel relaxed and natural. Children can be immersed in the scene, observe and experience the scene expressed in the poem, and let them recite the poem while observing. You can also cooperate with action expressions to attract children's attention. For example, you can teach Luo's poem "Goose". When learning the shape of a goose, you can do water sports and recite the poem rhythmically. You can also use the "provocation method" to guide children to "take the initiative". In this way, children are not burdened, relaxed and easy to remember ancient poems.
Fourth, always be smart. Children recite ancient poems, remember them quickly and forget them quickly. If you recite it today, you will forget it tomorrow, or even if you reluctantly recite it temporarily, you will often lose words and sentences. At this time, parents should remind them in time. But the reminder is not to tell the child the poem, but to stimulate him to think positively with clever hints. Some children forget the beginning. Parents can tell their children the general idea of the first poem and then let him say it according to his original intention. If a child forgets not only the first sentence but also the last few sentences, parents can translate the whole poem into vernacular and tell it to him. If the child still can't think of a poem, say one or two original words appropriately, and then let the child recite it. However, at this time, parents should consider whether the ancient poems you choose are beyond the children's acceptance.
