閱讀是什么？

有人將它喻作生命里的一束耀眼陽(yáng)光，有人將它視為茫茫沙漠里求生的指南針，更有人直言書本是一位能夠陪伴自己終生的“良師益友”。

在孩子眼中，閱讀其實(shí)遠(yuǎn)沒(méi)有我們想的那般復(fù)雜和深遠(yuǎn)。閱讀僅僅是他們幫助自己探索新知、解答疑問(wèn)的一種方式，又或是說(shuō)，一張前往大千世界的簡(jiǎn)易通行證。

The Seeds of the Future

That are Slowly Taking Root

作為一所教育理念超前的學(xué)校，中山市阿丁萊幼兒園顯然深知孩子們這種想要探索世界的渴望，無(wú)聲無(wú)息的閱讀文化自開學(xué)首日起便深深植入其中。

若您偶然間來(lái)訪，邁入校園的第一瞬間便可以看見(jiàn)那安置于走廊中間、連綿不絕的圖書架。這片擁有著各類原版中英文書籍的區(qū)域，是幼兒園室內(nèi)最為醒目的開放式圖書館。

老師們將書本精心排列，更在一旁添置了些許與故事繪本相關(guān)的玩偶，將其打造成孩子們理想中的知識(shí)探索樂(lè)園。課間、午飯后，甚至是放學(xué)前的那一小段等候時(shí)間，孩子們總會(huì)不約而同地前往，或是靜靜地自主閱讀，或是拉上一旁的老師、同學(xué)來(lái)共同探索。

當(dāng)然，每個(gè)教室中的閱讀角也是必不可少。盡管區(qū)域大小一致，但造型、功能和配備的繪本書籍卻可以截然不同。在小班教室的閱讀角，孩子會(huì)簇?fù)碓诶蠋熒磉叄ㄟ^(guò)其夸張的表情打開童話世界的大門；在中大班，更多的孩子則會(huì)選擇席地而坐，任意從身后書架抽出幾本科學(xué)雜志，開始探索外星生命、浩瀚星空；而對(duì)于那些更富學(xué)習(xí)激情的孩子，或許會(huì)有著“超級(jí)英雄”角色的陪伴，翱翔書海、勇闖世界。

一段段拼湊而成的閱讀記憶，默默播種下了孩子們未來(lái)的種子，也漫漫澆灌著他們一步步生根發(fā)芽。

想要形成成熟的閱讀文化并不僅僅依靠著園區(qū)一方，還需匯聚家長(zhǎng)們?cè)诒澈髨?jiān)定的助力。2023年2月22日，中山市阿丁萊幼兒園啟動(dòng)了第一屆親子閱讀節(jié)活動(dòng)，11位家長(zhǎng)代表親臨幼兒園，與園務(wù)團(tuán)隊(duì)以及中方主班老師就“培養(yǎng)幼兒閱讀習(xí)慣”進(jìn)行了精彩探討和分享，共同開啟了孩子們?cè)?023年的嶄新閱讀旅程。

“親子繪本秀、繪本教學(xué)、建立繪本資源庫(kù)，還有整整100天的親子閱讀打卡”，Hannah園長(zhǎng)在啟動(dòng)儀式上率先分享了數(shù)種能夠賦能幼兒閱讀習(xí)慣的方式，她相信，豐富而多元的閱讀活動(dòng)將是激發(fā)幼兒閱讀興趣、培養(yǎng)長(zhǎng)期閱讀習(xí)慣的最佳選擇！

而在就“培養(yǎng)幼兒閱讀習(xí)慣”的一番激烈小組討論后，多位對(duì)親子教育有著頗深見(jiàn)解的家長(zhǎng)相繼上臺(tái)，開始與大家認(rèn)真分享起自身感悟。

Cindy 媽媽

“書中自有黃金屋，閱讀真能快速幫助孩子進(jìn)行成長(zhǎng)！作為家長(zhǎng)的我們，可以根據(jù)孩子的興趣為其擇書，例如男孩子可以購(gòu)置更多科幻、動(dòng)物類的繪本，女孩子可以選擇故事情節(jié)更生動(dòng)的讀物。”

Joey 媽媽

“2-4歲是孩子語(yǔ)言發(fā)展和記憶力養(yǎng)成的黃金期，我們可以借此機(jī)會(huì)來(lái)培養(yǎng)他們的閱讀興趣，幫助他們開辟更多精彩的世界！”

干貨滿滿的分享過(guò)后，是一項(xiàng)所有孩子都翹首以盼的重頭戲。提前收到“情報(bào)”的11位家長(zhǎng)們經(jīng)過(guò)漫長(zhǎng)準(zhǔn)備，將為孩子們上演一場(chǎng)場(chǎng)精彩絕倫的繪本故事分享。

依靠自身對(duì)于親子閱讀的深刻理解以及奇思妙想，家長(zhǎng)們不僅以多元的講解方式和互動(dòng)游戲，持續(xù)吸引著孩子們的注意，更有部分通過(guò)樂(lè)高積木、自制推車等教具引得孩子們躍躍欲試，并為我們展現(xiàn)出極其成功的課堂效果！

寫在最后

孩子們，在勇敢探索閱讀世界的途中，你們或許會(huì)“見(jiàn)到”七色的彩虹、飛躍空靈的峽谷、攀登皚皚的雪山，也可能“遇見(jiàn)”帶著黑色眼罩和紅色頭巾的蠻橫海盜、有著鋒利牙齒、眼神兇惡的大灰狼。但請(qǐng)你們記住，無(wú)論是你們的爸爸媽媽，亦或是老師同學(xué)，所有人都是你一路同行的堅(jiān)強(qiáng)伙伴，他們都將竭盡全力去陪伴你們克服閱讀路上的重重困難！

What is reading?

Some people liken it to a bright ray of sunshine in their lives, others see it as a compass for survival in a vast desert, and some say that reading is a lifelong mentor and friend.

To children, reading is far less complex and far-reaching than we think. It is simply a way for them to help themselves explore new knowledge, to answer questions, or rather, an easy pass to the big world.

The Seeds of

the Future That are

Slowly Taking Root

As an school with advanced educational philosophy , Ardingly College Zhongshan(Kindergarten) clearly understands the children"s desire to explore the world, and a silent reading culture has been embedded since the first day of school.

If you happen to visit the school, you will see the endless shelves of books in the middle of the corridor as you enter the school. This area is the most visible open library in the kindergarten, with a wide range of original English and Chinese books.

The teachers have carefully arranged the books and added some story-related dolls to make it an ideal playground for the children to explore. During class break, lunch break and even the short waiting time beforeleaveing school, the children always go to the library and either read quietly on their own or join their teachers and classmates in exploring.

Of course, a reading corner in each classroom is also essential. Although each area is almost the same size, but the shape, function and picture books are very different. In the K1 reading corner, children can gather around their teachers and open the door to the world of fairy tales through their enthusiastic tones and exaggerated expressions; in the K2 or K3 classes, more children will choose to sit on the floor, pull out a few science magazines from the bookshelf behind them and start exploring alien life and the vast starry sky; and for those children who are more enthusiastic about learning, they may be accompanied by their superheroes, soaring through the sea of books and venturing into the world.

These memories of reading have planted the seeds of the children"s future, and have watered them step by step as they take root.

On 22 February 2023, Ardingly College Zhongshan(Kindergarten)launched its first Parent-Child Reading Festival, with 11 parent representatives coming to the kindergarten to discuss with the managementteam and the Chinese HomeroomTeacher on "Cultivating Reading Habits in Young Children".Meanwhile, theyofficially started a new reading journey for the children in 2023together.

"Parent-child picture book shows, picture book teaching, building a picture book resource library, and a whole 100 days of parent-child reading record cards", Ms. Hannah, the Chinese Head of Early Years, who was the first person to share several new ways to empower young children"s reading habits at the launch ceremony. She believes that rich and diverse reading activities will be the best option to stimulate young children"s interest in reading and develop long-term reading habits!

After a heated discussion on "Developing Reading Habits in Young Children", several parents with deep insights into parent-childeducation took to the stage and began to share their insights with the audience.

Cindy"s mom

"Book a house of gold, and reading can really help children grow up fast! As elders, we can choose books for our children based on their interests, for example, boys can buy more science fiction and animal picture books, and girls can choose books with more obvious storylines."

Joey"s mom

"The ages 2-4 are the prime-time for children"s language and memory development, and we can use this opportunity to nurture their interest in reading and help them open up to more exciting worlds!"

After the informative sharing, it was time for the main event that all the children were looking forward to. The 11 parents who had received the information in advance had prepared long and hard for the children"s storytelling session.

With their deep understanding of parent-child reading and ingenuity, the parents not only continued to engage the children with a variety of explanations and interactive games, but some of them also attracted the children"s attention through teaching aids such as Lego blocks and homemade trolleys, and showed us that the educational effect was extremely successful!

Write at the End

Dear children, on your brave journey to explore the world, you may see rainbows of seven colours, breezes in the fields, leap over ethereal gorges, climb snow-capped mountains, or you may encounter brutal pirates with black eye patches and red bandanas, or big, bad wolves with sharp teeth and fierce eyes, but please remember that your mothers and fathers, as well as your teachers and classmates, all of them will be your strong companions along the way, and they will do their best to accompany you to overcome all the difficulties on your wayto growth!
