这次征文主题是阅读，没有什么可以分享的，只能凑个热闹，也顺便发牢骚吧。
为了配合老师，我晚上陪孩子一起读了Sonnet 1，还比较了几个版本的notes。在读之前，问她知不知道谁是莎士比亚，她说当然知道阿，然后说了一堆，连古英语那几个词都知道了，说是老师教的，早期现代英语里也有古英语。
之前实在太忙，最近没有管过她学习上的事情，看来她自己看书以及上学懂了不少。
上周，孩子的老师告诉孩子爸爸，小孩测试了，目前阅读理解，词汇量，拼写都超过了6年级，下一步要家长配合给孩子读莎士比亚。回到家，孩子爸爸转述老师建议，我当时就觉得这老师已经疯了。一个一年级的小孩，看什么莎士比亚呢？这不是脑子被门夹过了么。可恨的是，孩子爸爸竟然还应承了下来。
无法苟同不顾年龄的能力教育，一个人的全面均衡的发展，并不是拼速度，对于社会，对伦理道德，一个小孩子仅仅靠着各种书上的描绘不可能做出正确的理性的判断。我宁愿她去玩她的电脑，玩她的机器人或者过家家的东西，去玩化妆换衣，去干点别的事情，也不希望过早让她去理解和揣测不合年龄的阅读材料。
但孩子爸爸说，她如果能力到了，就不要限制，你自己说，don't choose the easy way。
没错，这一贯是我的理论，如果一个人总是选择最简单的路，那就越来越失去挑战困难的能力，也不会收获更多。
但这是对我自己的要求呀，对小孩，她虽然自我发展得很迅猛，可确实不想她费脑筋，我每天伏案工作到大半夜，就是不愿孩子将来辛苦阿。
睡觉前，她洗漱完毕拉着自己的床架子，然后抑扬顿挫地妄图创作起她自己的十四行诗，我看了真是哭笑不得。
回到版主的征文内容
“作为家长，你是以身作则潜移默化呢，还是自由放养顺其自然？ 还是软硬兼施恩威并重？
分享孩子的阅读习惯，引导孩子读书的各种妙招；
畅谈孩子喜爱的书籍种类，分享一起阅读的快乐的时光. ”
我很惭愧，并没有像这里其他家长那样对孩子全心全意地付出时间，并没有像其他家长那样耐心来陪伴孩子一起阅读，她小的时候，我也给她读故事，有时实在太累了，读着读着我先闭眼睡着了，她都不吵我，发现她会自主阅读，正是因为有次我睡过去，眯了一会儿后醒来，孩子在看我刚才没讲完的故事书。
孩子4岁5岁前喜欢看fairies，现在不知道她喜欢看什么书，她要买的书，会告诉我，我就订好，她要看的书各种各样的，什么都有，也不知道是哪里知道的，可能老师说的。买书跟不上她看书的速度，
为什么只买不借，不是不想借，能闲下来去图书馆的次数很少，时间安排不过来，所以一有时间一起，都是去各种地方玩，而不可能“耗”在图书馆里。曾有一次我们借了一本fairy的书，没时间还或者忘记，等归还的时候被罚款几十刀。所以我就买，反正网上书店很方便。
潜移默化，不知道潜移默化是怎样运作的，我看书多且快，孩子和我类似。
今天下午她在看的是little fur里 a fox called sorrow这本。
去年她看完很多书
她房间书架，抓拍两张。另外的书架放在其他房间，就不拍了。

请问，您怎样给她选书，是她自己告诉你书名，还是你在网上给她选。

半夜三更发帖，兴致蛮高的嘛。好小囡，帮我亲一个
评论
这个是教育版被show off的孩子中，天分最高的一个了吧。聪明孩子年年有，psychologist测出的结果，如果不是超出起码比本身年纪大两岁的智力，基本上这孩子只能算聪明。lo@syd的女儿让我想起matilda，没上学就自己借书看。好好培养，套句俗话，长大做个对社会有贡献的人。
评论
就不能安安静静做个美少女么？
小孩没有你说的那样厉害，我们都是普通天分的人，成不了科学家， 文学家那样的。
智商情商高于父母， 只能说是进化而已啊， 还没跳脱出普通人的范畴呢。
她想怎么发展 ，我们尽量提供条件和平台，但是不可能去指导她发展，她得找到自己的路。
现在小呢 ，这才小学版，说这些实在太早了 ，不好预设太多的。
评论
三点多啊 事多没办法。现在又要打了鸡血一样出去战斗了啊。
评论
没上学前 我买了很多书是上的书单 ，现在小孩会告诉她要的书。学校里小孩之间有交流的。我确实惭愧 ，小孩很多个假期都是在vacation care度过，她和高年级的女生一起玩，可能是多个渠道得来的信息。
别人都是辅导孩子的心得体会，我是坐享其成了，该打，你们拿分砸我，狠狠砸，绝对别留情。
评论
你们不要这样夸 ，实际是老师见识浅，假如放到纽省的小学，她也不过是路人一个，这叫是在教育落后的地方，没开过眼的老师以为文曲星下凡 红孩儿转世了
评论
你这样说让俺们这些在纽省的青蛙们情何以堪呀！
评论
没事 ，我尽快转到纽省来给各位垫底 ，你们放心往前冲，奔跑吧！
评论
你来纽省开了讲座吧。你太谦虚了。
评论
另外，我家小朋友在vacation care里只知道玩和看电视，你家才女在vacation care会自己拿书念吗？
评论
焦虑帖，加分
评论
一切都顺其自然的话就好。伤仲永的故事，小时候听过
评论
vacation care组织的各类活动为主，貌似不经常带书去，是很爱玩的孩子，不是书虫，就是看书快。她厉害是表达和总结能力强，其他没什么能力。
评论
知道老师是好意，我们都是听话的家长 ，老师说什么，肯定配合。但从心底里是希望孩子轻松写意地过日子，我一直记得谢霆锋09年给他儿子做的视频里那句话，i fight, so you don't have to.
当然，孩子不用推 有能动性，这点很好，也是优点。 但她同时有很多缺点，要沉住气去审视自己，修善自己，这样的技能需要时间沉淀。
评论
第二张照片里的书，是一套的么，什么系列，在哪里能买到，看不清图。
评论
厉害
评论
有人问书单，其实论坛已经很多书单。
家长根据小孩喜好给选，老师也会推荐，当然，孩子自己会说要看什么书的。
我孩子的遇到prep 和year 1两任老师都推荐书，也指导地比较具体
那些论坛上已经推荐过很多遍的套装畅销书就不写了吧，这里补充一些，我孩子喜欢探险，侦探，还有就是肤浅的女孩子读物啦，如果觉得不够高大上，别见怪阿，她才6岁，我没精力管看哪些书，只负责下订单。

Everything they have is borrowed from the 'human beans', who don't even know they exist. Arrietty's father, Pod, is an expert Borrower - he can scale curtains using a hatpin and bring back a doll's teacup without breaking it. Girls aren't supposed to go borrowing but as Arrietty is an only child her father breaks the rule. But then Arrietty makes friends with a boy - a 'human bean' - and from that moment danger is never far away for, above all else, they must avoid the great disaster of 'being seen'.
"The Borrowers Afield": The Pod family escape to the fields where their cousins live, but it's a long and dangerous journey. At last they find a new home and adapt to country life.

Can Bonnie and Sylvia outwit the wicked Miss Slighcarp and her network of criminals, forgers and snitches?

That's not a very promising beginning for a friendship, but Jess and Leslie Burke become inseparable. Together they create Terabithia, a magical kingdom in the woods where the two of them reign as king and queen, and their imaginations set the only limits. Then one morning a terrible tragedy occurs. Only when Jess is able to come to grips with this tragedy does he finally understand the strength and courage Leslie has given him.
The Sign of the Beaver
9 - 12 years old

When Matt meets Attean, a boy in the Beaver clan, he begins to better understand their way of life and their growing problem in adapting to the white man and the changing frontier.
Number the Stars
9 - 12 years old
As the German troops begin their campaign to “relocate” all the Jews of Denmark, Annemarie Johansen’s family takes in Annemarie’s best friend, Ellen Rosen, and conceals her as part of the family. Through the eyes of ten-year-old Annemarie, we watch as the Danish Resistance smuggles almost the entire Jewish population of Denmark, nearly seven thousand people, across the sea to Sweden. The heroism of an entire nation reminds us that there was pride and human decency in the world even during a time of terror and war.
The Incredible Journey
8 - 12 years old
Instinct told them that the way home lay to the west. And so the doughty young Labrador retriever, the roguish bull terrier and the indomitable Siamese set out through the Canadian wilderness. Separately, they would soon have died. But, together, the three house pets faced starvation, exposure, and wild forest animals to make their way home to the family they love.
Island of the Blue Dolphins
9 - 13 years old
Far off the coast of California looms a harsh rock known as the island of San Nicholas. Dolphins flash in the blue waters around it, sea otter play in the vast kep beds, and sea elephants loll on the stony beaches.
Here, in the early 1800s, according to history, an Indian girl spent eighteen years alone, and this beautifully written novel is her story. It is a romantic adventure filled with drama and heartache, for not only was mere subsistence on so desolate a spot a near miracle, but Karana had to contend with the ferocious pack of wild dogs that had killed her younger brother, constantly guard against the Aleutian sea otter hunters, and maintain a precarious food supply.
More than this, it is an adventure of the spirit that will haunt the reader long after the book has been put down. Karana's quiet courage, her Indian self-reliance and acceptance of fate, transform what to many would have been a devastating ordeal into an uplifting experience. From loneliness and terror come strength and serenity in this Newbery Medal-winning classic.
Artemis Fowl
10-11 years old
Twelve-year-old villain, Artemis Fowl, is the most ingenious criminal mastermind in history. His bold and daring plan is to hold a leprechaun to ransom.
But he's taking on more than he bargained for when he kidnaps Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon (Lower Elements Police Reconnaissance Unit). For a start, leprechaun technology is more advanced than our own.
Add to that the fact that Holly is a true heroine and that her senior officer Commander Root will stop at nothing to get her back and you've got the mother of all sieges brewing!
The Summer of the Swans
10 - 13 years old
The orange sneakers were typical of her mood. One minute Sara had been rather fond of them. The next she detested them, thought them as gross as her enormous feet, her impossible body, her ridiculous hair. And that was how it had been all summer. The elation of one moment would give way to tears the next, with no warning, for no reason.

Laurinda
When my dad dropped us off at the front gate, the first things I saw were the rose garden spreading out on either side of the main driveway and the enormous sign in iron cursive letters spelling out LAURINDA. No 'Ladies College' after it, of course; the name was meant to speak for itself.
Laurinda is an exclusive school for girls. At its secret core is the Cabinet, a trio of girls who wield power over their classmates - and some of their teachers.
Entering this world of wealth and secrets is Lucy Lam, a scholarship girl with sharp eyes and a shaky sense of self. As she watches the Cabinet at work, and is courted by them, Lucy finds herself in a battle for her identity and integrity.
Funny, feisty and moving, Laurinda explores Lucy's struggle to stay true to herself as she finds her way in a new world of privilege and opportunity.
About the Author
Alice Pung is the author of Unpolished Gem and Her Father’s Daughter and the editor of the anthology Growing Up Asian in Australia.
这本书，另外列开，因为书刚刚发行，我订了签名本还没收到，小孩没读过。
家长和小孩都可以一读的。
讲一个凭借奖学金进入墨尔本私立女校的女孩故事。
评论
牛蛙多得很，不稀奇阿。 远的不说了，孩子有个男同学，非常聪明，读书多，下棋很厉害，我孩子自学了下棋，就是为了和他火拼哦。
再说阅读，孩子现在的年龄读，过几年，她可能再读一遍，理解会不一样。
前阵我自己回国出差的时候，到我父母家里，有一些以前读书时代的旧书，父母想要扔掉，问我扔那些，其中几本我又看了一遍，比如狄更斯的大卫科波菲尔。现在看，和我大学时候看有不同的理解。我又看了动物农场，1984，麦田里的守望者，第22条军规，这些在年青热血时候特别钟爱的书，现在看来全然不同的视角。
书还是那些书，因为对社会对人生的认知不同，所以不同的角度和年龄看是不同的。
并不觉得，孩子能看上面她的这些书，能理解故事主线，知道情节发展，能哈哈大笑或者伤心郁闷一场，这就叫牛，不是这样。
我之所以不想管孩子太多，是希望她能自己有空间或时间去消化，而不是完成任务那样，好啊，看完了就算了。
人生没有其他任务，唯一的任务就是等死。而过程，自己走出来，不管是直线还是迂回曲折。
