Jim Trelease has devoted the past 16 years to promoting what he considers the best-kept sccret in education today. 46.“Most people don't believe me when they first hear it,'he says.“They dismiss it for three reasons:One,it's simple. Two.it's free.Three,the child enjoys it.So how good can it be?'
His audience tonight,mostly young parents and teachers gathered in the St. Helena,Calif.,elementary-school auditorium,giggles nervously.'I know what you're thinking,'Trelease says.“There are only24 hours in a day.It's true.But who ever told you that parenting was going to be a time-saving activity?' 47.Trelease continues to persuade them that no matter how busy they are,the foremost nurturing they can give a child,next to hugging him,is reading aloud to him.
After graduating from the University of Massachusetts,Trelease went to work as a newspaper reporter in nearby Springfield.Then in 1967 a fourth-grade teacher invited him to talk to her class about his career.He had so much fun that he was soon making 40 unpaid local school visits a year.
On his way out the door of one classroom,he spotted a novel he had just read to his daughter.“Who's reading this'?'he asked.Three girls sheepishly raised their hands.“Don't you just love it??'he said.And for the next45 minutes he and the kids talked about books.
“From then on I always saved time to ask the class what they had read lately,'Trelease says. 48.“And with time I began to see that the kids were reading less and less,except where the teachers read aloud to them.I wondered whether there was a connection between how much you read to children and how much they want to read themselves,'
In professional reading journals Trelease found a wealth of research to support his hunch. 49.Talking to neighbours,relatives and colleagues,he realized that to most people reading aloud was something you did when your child wouldn't go to sleep.Perhaps that was because these parents were rarely read to as children.
'It is the child's listening vocabulary that feeds his reading vocabulary,' Trelease says.To illustrate,he reads the opening paragraph of Roald Dahl's The Enormous Crocodile.“Two crocodiles lay with their heads just above the water. One was enormous.The other was not so big.'Now let's suppose a child does not know the word“enormous''.Which is going to be more effective:hearing it in the context of a story,or seeing it isolated from meaning on a flashcard? 50. Remember,if a child has never heard the word,he'll never say it.And if he's never heard it or said it,it's going to be difficult when the time comes to read it.
Trelease advocates reading aloud to children as soon as possible.“When did you start talking to your child?On the day she was born.If a child is old enough to talk to,the child is old enough to read to.'Case histories bear him out.
Upon the birth of their daughter,Marcia and Mark Thomas received a copy of Trelease's best-seller,The Read-Aloud Handbook. 51.They had a special reason for wanting to promote Jennifer's intellectual development:she was bon with Down syndrome,“We figured it couldn't hurt,'says Marcia“so we put her on a diet of ten books a day.'When Jennifer required surgery as an infant,her parents left books on tape for the nurses to play.By age five Jennifer was reading on her own.
【正确答案】:46.他说:“大多数人第一次听我(关于教育秘诀的)演讲时都不相信我。他们拒绝这一秘诀的原因有三个:一是简单。二是免费。三是孩子喜欢。那它能有多好呢?”
47.特里斯继续说服他们,无论多忙,他们能给予孩子的最重要的培养是朗读给他听,这近似于拥抱所给予他的鼓励。
48.“随着时间的推移,我逐渐发现除了那些有老师为之朗读的孩子们以外,其他的孩子读书越来越少了。我想知道在你给孩子读了多少书和他们想读多少书之间是否有联系。”
49.在与邻居、亲戚和同事交谈时,他意识到,对大多数人而言朗读是你在孩子不愿意睡觉时才会做的事。这也许是因为这些父母小时候很少有人给他们读书。
50.切记,如果一个孩子从来都没有听过这个词,他永远不会说出来。如果他从来没有听过也没说过这个词,那么当读到它的时候就会变得很困难。
51.他们有一个特殊的理由想要促进詹妮弗的智力发展,因为她生来就患有唐氏综合症。马西亚说:“我们认为读书不会伤害她,所以我们每天灌输给她十本书。”当还是婴儿的詹妮弗需要做手术时,她的父母把书录在磁带上,让护士们播给她听。
