First of all, reading aloud is a consistent practice in traditional teaching in China. The ancients said, "You can read a book a hundred times before you know its meaning." In the past, when the old gentleman taught classical poetry, he usually taught the students to read it first, then explained it roughly, and then let the students read it most of the time. He will learn about students' understanding of poetry from their reading. This shows the importance of reading in traditional Chinese teaching.
Second, reading helps to cultivate students' ability to read independently. Students develop the habit of reading aloud, which is equivalent to having a good learning foundation and gaining the ability to read independently. Only by reading the text repeatedly can we realize the mystery of some good articles and achieve a state of "only meaning, no words" in the layout and wording of articles, thus improving our reading ability invisibly.
Third, reading helps to improve students' writing ability. After students repeatedly read a large number of texts or extracurricular reading materials, the famous sayings, beautiful paragraphs and writing characteristics in the articles will be absorbed and accumulated continuously. "No accumulation, no miles. Without a trickle, you can't become a river. " Only by continuous accumulation can students' expressive ability and writing ability be naturally improved. Reading and writing are an organic whole, which promotes and improves each other. The same is true of "reading thousands of books and writing like a god"
Fourth, repeated reading can also enable students to obtain aesthetic education. Good articles have many characteristics, such as the beauty of language and music, which are forceful and beautiful to read. After reading aloud, students can not only improve their reading ability, but also enjoy beauty.
In addition, reading is a comprehensive activity of the mouth, ears and brain at the same time, which plays an important role in the all-round and healthy development of students' psychology and physiology.
Of course, the benefits of reading are still many. If we teach students correct reading methods in teaching and make them form habits, they will not only master more knowledge, but also improve their reading and writing abilities, which will benefit them for life.
