Children aged 5-6 gradually change their thinking from concrete to abstract, and gradually establish the basic concepts of time and numbers. Image thinking is dominant, but it has moved from image thinking to abstract thinking. From knowing a single thing to knowing the relationship between things.
? At this stage, children no longer stay in the simple and superficial evaluation of things, but begin to make more complicated and profound evaluations of things, and like to ask all kinds of questions. The problem is the introduction of thinking. If you often face problems and think about how to solve them, your brain will be active and improve your child's thinking ability. You can choose some picture books related to your daily life and how to solve problems for your children.
"The Perfect Xiao Mu Car in the World" tells the story that Ben and Mia are going to build their own Xiao Mu car to take part in the Xiao Mu car race. This is not a simple matter. They need wheels, chassis, car covers and brakes ... but there are no materials at home. What do we do? In the process of making Xiao Mu cars, the two children learned how to seek help from others, how to exchange their own labor for what they want, how to solve problems with their own brains, and how to create happiness by themselves!
? This book has a lot of words, and a book with a lot of words can easily give readers the illusion that stories are between the lines. But this book is not. The picture shows much more than the story told by the author in words. When reading, you can read the pictures carefully, add your own understanding, and also inspire children to use their imagination to tell stories.
? Parents often ask me how to ask questions after reading to help children understand stories. Take this book as an example. After watching it, we can discuss with the children how many problems they encountered in the process of making Xiao Mu cars. What problem? How is it solved? What would you do if it were you?
? For example, the first question is: What should I do if I want to take part in the Xiao Mu car race but I don't have a car? Finally, they decided to make one by themselves. Then they carefully drew the design and began to make it, and found that they didn't know what to make the wheel with. Then I decided to ask Xiaoyan's brother, who works in a garage.
? Then they met a new problem. They need to find a board in carpenter Flantz's studio. Flantz asked how much they were going to pay. What if I have no money?
Later, they encountered various other problems. Finally, through everyone's cooperation, they successfully solved the problems and completed what they wanted, "the most perfect Xiao Mu car in the world".
? Focusing on the theme of the story and stringing the whole story with the problems encountered as the main line, children will definitely read the story many times in the process of summing up to find the answers they want. While reading repeatedly enhances understanding, the thinking ability will also be improved simultaneously.
