Reading as a punishment

You know what the most popular phrase I hear of a teacher of literature? "My child does not read: I already beat and kill, and it is still a book in hand does not take".

 

Late in the evening. Phone call. The mother of our student of class 3.

— Here we asked a home in reading: find in the text read by means of artistic expression. The theory of no in the book not only the text of the story. A head already all broke.
— What do you know about art?
— (whispers) What are you talking about these tools you know? Nothing? Not telling, what? (I) didn't say Anything, doesn't know.
 





Periodically call after tantrums and tears: the child does not understand the meaning of reading, does not know how to complete a given, wants to sleep or to drink some water, but not reading to do.

Elementary school children move into middle management, where the suffering is growing. Especially after the General "by heart": "verse again?", "why had not said, come on teach of the night", "well you can't these lines to remember, what is there to learn?", "let's go again now and in the morning before going again".

Yet there is a special kind of school sports equipment read. "One, two, three — go! Who is faster? Yes, with technology read you so good, quite slow, barely the letters in the word puts. There, in the list on the stand is the penultimate record".

Few people care what the child reads, and, most importantly, why the kid takes the book in hand. From a misunderstanding of the read — tears, suffering, fear and two misses in the first line of fast reading. And the older you become frightened, the further and further away from himself books.

What to do if the threat of oblivion literature punches in the door, and the children happily run to open it?

 Daniel


Daniel is now 3 years old. Every evening the parents, going to put the baby to sleep, ask him to grab "the book for the night". Baby chooses what suits him now to desire and mood, and briskly walking ahead. He is waiting for this moment with impatience, because of the child's bedroom door he definitely opens a whole world. Dad will tell you why the dark knight is named the Bogeyman or who the shaggy-haired Gruffalo is and how it looks. Sometimes Dan asks what unfamiliar words and expressions, and sometimes even corrects the accent (that rhyme was not broken) — evening work on reading comprehension is in full swing. No book remains not just reproduced, each page will be an endless discussion and questioning. When the kid realized who is who, and why the hero performs a certain act, the interest in the following stories just erupted, because reading becomes a shared adventure thing. Dasha



Dasha — a student of 2 class. She reads slowly: first puts the word in your mind, and then saying aloud, sometimes guesses the ending, not pochityvaya a word (faster to get). The girl sure if she will read it slowly in front of the class, the guys will laugh and point fingers. Dasha prefers not to read, because it is time consuming, she gets tired quickly, complex words do not lend themselves.

When I realized the cause of Pan-failures, I wanted to show her how it can be arranged in the word: what parts does it consist, and why are some letters difficult to read in combination with each other. Then we started to draw the word: to make them BIG or small, diiiiiiiiiiiie and short.

With time she felt that words can be tamed. She was not scared to make a mistake, she began to spend more time training in reading, she was interesting to follow the life of words.

 

Mike



Mike recently turned 11 years old. In school, he loves to walk, the literature does not reject the books he reads, many of the characters knows. But the boy starts to hurt the stomach, when the teacher asks a poem by heart. Mike remembers that in the 5th grade he was forced to teach Sergei Yesenin ("there is something about the frustration of nature or in the homeland"). Then the whole evening was destroyed: the swearing, the screaming, the line was not in the head. Mike is now afraid of poetry, as of fire, and poetry for him does not exist in nature.

Long thought, how do we do these verses to tame. We started with a poem by Zabolotsky "Movement". Mike I've looked at the lines, then tried each draw, then began to discuss and at the end couldn't stop laughing.

When the child understands what the poem means every word or the whole line, the poetry becomes tangible, he tames her and gradually falls in love.

 

Artem



Artem is a student in the 10th grade. Literature, school for the dreary subject in life. He is struggling not to fall asleep at the last Desk during a discussion of "War and peace", yawns at the description of St. Petersburg and only once winces at the carnage in the apartment of the old woman prozentsatz.

My question is, did he not want to meet the heroes of literary works, Artem says: "There is no me, I hear about Hoop skirts and swords sharpened, boring long sentences and means of artistic expression. I'd better go complete the circuit on physics".

Fall in love with the literature of teenage death. The task is difficult but achievable.

In the schoolyard there is a football field with a very nice grass. When talking about the sky of Austerlitz, we with a class went on this field (after a difficult mathematics), lay on him and started to look up in the sky. Everyone can speak out: what thinks, what feels. That the sky fell, someone realized (as Artem), it is insignificant in comparison with the heavenly community, and someone just got a good feeling inside after math of the boiling brain. Over time, I wanted to go the route of Raskolnikov to measure the area of cherry orchard — literature came to life and became interesting. The children (and Tom in particular) found themselves in it, felt it about them.

But besides all this, the book should enter the house. Not through violence and threats, and as a friend and an interesting conversationalist. Read the novel you can discuss, eating mom's dinner; to compare the impressions after viewing the film or the performance; in the Tretyakov gallery or the Pushkin Museum you can also find answers to many literary issues.

The book should not be a sacred cow, it needs to be read, to peruse, to pass all the time about her need to speak. When the reader understands what is what, and most importantly, why he reads, the literature does not turn away, she hugs him and grabs.published
