reating a love for reading during early childhood is important. Early reading in early childhood can not only promote children’s reading interest and broaden their horizons, but also develop children’s abilities in many aspects, such as: improving children’s language communication ability; Helping children focus their attention; Developing children’s thinking ability.
Children love stories, so it’s a great time to create a joy for reading books. Giving children the space to read and then apply what they’ve learned through teacher-led activities and also free-play time helped us achieve our goals.
Therefore, after many meetings and discussions between the teaching and research team and teachers, our Dr. Suess Reading Month was born!
幼儿时期培养孩子对阅读的热爱很重要。这不仅能提升幼儿阅读兴趣，开拓幼儿视野，还能发展幼儿多方面能力，如：语言交流能力、注意力、思维能力等。
孩子们喜欢听故事，通过故事培养阅读兴趣再好不过了 。因此，我们的苏斯博士阅读月诞生啦！由教师主导，引导孩子在活动中运用他们了解的故事及学到的知识，让孩子真正爱上阅读。
PICLC苏斯博士月，带着孩子畅游英文阅读海洋
This activity is mainly divided into the following sections: kindergarten morning reading, class activities, theme environmental innovation and camp closing activities.
PICLC的苏斯博士月活动，分为园级晨读、班级阅读活动、主题环境布置、结题表演四大板块。
➤ Morning Reading 园级晨读
In the morning reading session, we encouraged children to actively participate in the morning reading in the form of accumulated stickers, and finally won the medal of reading month in the camp activity by virtue of the number of stickers.
From the first day to the last day of the activity, we can see the babies rushing into the campus every day, for fear of taking one less sticker.
积极参与每天晨读的孩子们，都会获得贴纸奖励，待到结营这天，孩子们可凭着累积的贴纸数量，赢得对应的阅读月奖牌。
每天听故事都能拿奖励？这宛如游戏闯关的模式，让孩子兴致高昂，上学成了他们最期待的事情，每天早上准时入园，围坐在老师身边，听老师将书本里的故事娓娓道来。
➤ Intensive Reading 班级精读
In class activities, under the guidance of the teacher, the babies had a deeper understanding of the picture book through extensive reading and intensive reading, and were able to express their ideas about the story in the picture book.
The reading led by the teacher also made the babies interested in the exploration of picture books.
班级活动中，在老师的引导下，孩子们通过泛读精读对绘本有了更深的理解，并且能自如表达自己对绘本故事情节产生的想法。老师带领孩子们阅读，也让他们对绘本故事的探索产生了浓厚的兴趣。
另外，我们还邀请家长入园参与共读，回到孩子们的世界与他们对话，从语言、肢体动作，带领孩子们去感受故事画面、节奏以及内容背后的意义，带领他们一起沉浸在阅读的世界里。
➤ Campus Environment Enrichment 主题环境布置
Of course, the success of Reading Month is also inseparable from environmental innovation. All kinds of books, dolls, patterns and decorations about Dr. Suess on the campus amazed the babies, which further stimulated their curiosity about picture books and their desire to explore the truth.
当然，阅读月的成功也少不了主题环境布置。环境布置中的每一步既有教师的预设，更有追随孩子的声音，关注孩子的需要和兴致，给孩子充分陪伴与支持。
这次苏斯博士活动月，老师们早早地就将园区布置成了一个阅读小镇，有故事玩偶的陪伴，有专业的故事录音，有舒适的沙发，有惬意的地毯，席地而坐，一起走进阅读的奇妙世界。
➤ Final Unit Exhibition 结题表演
Today, the parents were happy to join us and be a part of the fun activities we had. In the morning the parents and children were able to take fun photos at our Dr. Seuss display area.
The parents joyfully watched the performances of each class. Laughter and excitement filled the halls this morning as we got ready to show the parents what we’ve learned during our reading month.
We chose our favourite book and put together a fun performance to show our parents.
- Some classes chose to sing a song related to their book of choice.
- Others put on a drama of their favourite book.
- Some classes put their small classes on the stage, and even some classes adapted the poems they liked in books into a song and connected them in the form of small movies.
最后，我们通过一场别开生面的演出，为这个月的活动做了一次完美的总结
有的班级选择最喜欢的书，通过有趣的表演来展示这一个月的所学所得；有的班级选择唱一首与书本相关的歌曲；有的班级将书籍故事用以戏剧的方式展示；有的班级把小课堂搬上了舞台；还有的班级将书本里的诗改编成一首歌，用一个个小电影串联起来……
Persistence and the hope for a prize kept everyone’s focus as we prepared for our performances.
Everyone was happy to share their favourite story with their parents today through songs and acting. Parents were proud to see their children’s efforts in this reading month.
At the end of the performance, the parents applauded their children’s efforts.
At the end of the activity, the smiles on the children’s faces and the prizes and gifts in their arms brought today’s happy memories to a complete end.
舞台下的家长们，已然成为了我们活动中的一部分，他们把心里话写在了留言卡上，为孩子们的精彩演绎鼓掌，为孩子们这一个月的努力与成长而自豪。
而孩子们脸上洋溢的笑容、胸前挂着的奖牌、怀中满满的奖品，为苏斯博士月活动画上了一个圆满的句号。
“关于苏斯博士”
整个英语世界，每个孩子接触英文书，开始英文阅读，几乎都是从苏斯博士的作品开始的。他被誉为二十世纪最卓越的儿童文学家、教育学家。苏斯博士系列绘本被翻译成超过15种语言，作品畅销半个多世纪，全世界卖出了超过两亿册。
他拿奖拿到手软，3次获得美国图画书最高荣誉凯迪克大奖，也曾获得普利策特殊贡献奖，并两次获得奥斯卡金像奖和艾美奖。
苏斯博士的绘本为何深受全世界孩子喜爱？
➤ 画风天马行空、很对孩子口味
苏斯博士的书，情节奇异怪诞，画风也天马行空，充满了儿童的捣蛋和顽皮，就像跨过岁月的河流，蹲下来和孩子平等地对话。这也是为什么大人看上去会觉得“有点丑”、“乱糟糟”、“荒诞不经”，但是孩子拿起来就舍不得放下。
➤ 韵律令人拍案叫绝、孩子轻松地学习英语
苏斯博士的书从字母，到短语、句子，再到一个个故事，都包含大量的韵律节奏，可以说几乎每一段话都是押韵的，读起来朗朗上口，让孩子们循序渐进地掌握英语。
➤ 故事简单有趣，且有教育意义
苏斯博士的故事虽然简单，却深受孩子喜爱，充满了戏剧性的张力，他曾说，我从不试图去跟孩子对话，百分之九十的童书都是在居高临下地跟孩子说教，而我却不这么做，我和孩子平等相待。
在他的故事中，孩子们也收获了一些做人做事的启发，受益良多。因此，他的书都很受孩子们喜爱。
➤ 分级科学，难度适中
苏斯博士在创作时考虑到了不同年龄孩子的英文水平。Harper Collins出版的这套苏斯博士，根据难度将苏斯博士的20本经典故事分成了三个级别：Blue Back蓝背、Green Back绿背、Yellow Back黄背，可以让孩子根据三个级别循序渐进地进行阅读。
第一阶段 蓝脊书 Blue back books:
for sharing with your child（亲子阅读）
第二阶段 绿脊书 Green back books:
for children just beginning to read on their own（迈向自主阅读）
第三阶段 黄脊书 Yellow back books:
