A centuries-old tradition,illustrated in a modem children's book. 1inks the sweetness of honey with the joy of learning to read.
“The grandpa held a jar of honey so that all the family could see. He then dipped a spoon into it and put some honey on the cover of a small book.
The little girl had just turned five.
‘Stand up,little one,’he asked the girl softly. ‘I did this for your mother,your uncles,your older brother,and now you!’
Then,he handed the book to her. ‘Taste!’
She touched the honey with her finger and put it into her mouth.
‘What's that taste?’the grandpa asked.
The little girl answered,‘Sweet!’
Then all of the family said in a single voice,‘Yes,and so is knowledge,but knowledge is from the bee that made that sweet honey,you have to go after it through the pages of a book!’
The little girl knew that the promise to read was at last hers. Soon she was going to learn to read. ”
This is the beginning of a profoundly moving children's book entitled Thank You,Mr. Falker. In this book,Patricia Polacco writes of her own passion to read,inspired by the honey on the book. It wasn't until fifth grade that she met her beloved teacher who provided the hlep that she needed to finally unlock the magic of the written word.
Reading this book,we are in fact acquainted with some enduring traditions of child education that stress the importance of verbal capacity at a very early age.
The child learning to read is admitted into a collective memory by way of books. And with the printed words that are active with meaning,the child becomes acquainted with a common past which he or she renews,to a greater or lesser degree,in every reading. Much as the author of the book Thank You,Mr. Falker puts it,“Almost as if it were magic,or as if light poured into her brain,the words and sentences started to take shape on the page as they never had before…And she understood the whole thing…Then she went into the living room and found the book on a shelf,the very book that her grandpa had shown her so many years ago. She spooned honey on the cover and tasted the sweetness…Then she held the book,honey and all,close to her chest. She could feel tears roll down her cheeks,but they weren't tears of sadness-she was happy,so very happy. ”
The girl who tasted the honey on the book was______.
A. nearly six years old

C. more than six years old
D. a little more than five years old

Encourage free drawing rather than coloring books. Coloring books stop the possibility of self-expression. A child may just enjoy colorful pictures and never learn how to express himself. As an art teacher says,“Children have a very powerful instinct to draw freely and roughly. Such practice makes them learn language easily. ”In fact,a child expresses himself in rough drawing. This is the beginning of literacy and creativity. Also,parents should not teach their kids“how”to draw and they should not make their kids draw realistic pictures to entertain themselves. Experience tells us that such teaching from the parents will discourage children,making them think they can't do it the “right”way.
Competition and rewards should also be avoided in the process of artistic creation. A child's natural instinct to create will disappear if he or she thinks about prize while drawing.
Parents should be role models for their kids. They should not say things like,“I can't draw a straight line. ”Instead,they should learn to say,“I love to create. ”This teaches children that the process of creation is more important than the product. If children see their parents drawing,cooking or building creatively,they will do the same.
Buy a notebook for your child to use every day. This can be a journal for making up stories,writing ideas and drawing pictures. Even the youngest child can use it to draw freely and roughly,expressing himself.
Take your child to places that promote ideas and creativity. Art museums,science centers,libraries and children's museums all are great places to see other people's creativity. That will inspire children to make their own creations and inventions.
Give children choices and free time. Some of the best ideas come from daydreaming and imagining.
In short,parents should allow their kids to have the freedom to invent for themselves. That means not always teaching and commanding.
To develop their artistic creativity,children should be encouraged to______.
A. draw freely and roughly
B. learn to draw realistic pictures
C. know how to draw before they start
D. learn to draw good pictures to get prizes
