常言道:寓教于乐。这似乎已成为当下优良教育的金科玉律。不要说小孩子的学堂,即便是过大年的文艺晚会,也往往要“教中加乐”或“乐中加教”——只是这等加法未必奏效,受众群体浑不买账而致教乐两误,也是常事。推敲起来,很可能是公式用错了,还是改用乘法为好。
佩吉·拉特曼(Peggy Rathmann)的《警官巴克尔和警犬葛芮雅》一书,堪称寓教于乐的典范。它属于那种人见人爱的图画书,读第1遍时就能让大人和孩子畅快地笑起来。大人也许就此作罢,但孩子却很可能要再听一遍,或是翻着书页,在图画里搜寻那些没有被“读到”的细节。细节发现得越多,获得的乐趣也越多。
As the saying goes: Education is entertaining. This seems to have become the golden rule of good education today.
Peggy Rathmann's "Police Officer Buckle and Police Dog Gloria" is a model of entertainment and education. It is a cute picture book that can make both adults and children laugh happily when they read it together. Adults can easily find it, but children are likely to have to listen again, or turn the pages of the book to search for details that have not been "read" in the pictures. The more details you discover, the more fun you have.
