The key points of knowledge for reciting ancient poems at the preschool level are to help children understand the overall concept of the work, as well as the meaning of each word and word. And it should be read aloud according to the general rules of reciting ancient poems and quatrains. For example, if there is this 221 rhythm or the 23 rhythm to recite, what is 221 and what is 23? For example, when you sleep in spring, you don't realize the dawn. This is the rhythm of two and three, two characters and three characters. So this is the basic rhythm and can be divided. At the same time, special attention should be paid to reading the rhyming words very clearly and fully. There is also the emotion and artistic conception of the poem, which is the key point.

Let’s break it down a little and see what aspects should be paid attention to in each recitation link. For example, for children’s recitation, what is the kindergarten level? It's preschool, basically three to five years old. So one of the basic requirements for their recitation is that they must first be loud, clear, natural and smooth, and never yell or shout. Don't make your voice hoarse as this will cause fatigue and lesions on your vocal cords. This is not correct. One of the standards for children's recitation is to examine the child's pronunciation, mainly to examine whether the initial consonants are clear and powerful. What are initial consonants? d t n l, it determines whether the pronunciation is clear, so it needs to be included in the level group.

For example, d t g k h n, first of all, there must be no dialect in the recitation, or the Mandarin is not standard. That would be a big discount, so Mandarin standards are the prerequisite for recitation and also the basic skills. Mandarin must be clear and powerful. Second, the flat tongue sounds z c s, the raised tongue sounds, zh ch sh, these all need to be distinguished very clearly. Third, the stage posture of recitation. The correct stage posture is to raise your head, face naturally facing forward, keep the top of your head flat, chin slightly retracted, relax your shoulders, press down slightly, and straighten your head and neck. The human body has an upward feeling, that is, you will feel as if there is something pulling on the top of your head. leading to the ceiling.

Put your chest up, your abdomen in, your waist upright, your torso upright, not tilted or swayed to the left or right, your arms drooping naturally, your palms naturally curved, and placed on both sides of your thighs. Generally speaking, a little boy's legs should be slightly open and straight, about as wide as the shoulders or a little narrower. It's okay for a boy to stand like this. Girls generally stand with their heels close together, legs together, straight knees, heels close together, toes spread apart, and a figure eight shape.

Generally speaking, the distance between your legs should not exceed shoulder width. If it is a professional recitation assessment, the child's eyes and expressions are the key points. They should not be too nervous, expressionless or do not understand what they are reciting, so they will not be able to express themselves properly. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the work. If you don’t understand the work, you have no idea what you are reciting, and you will not be able to impress the audience. Therefore, we must choose works that children can understand for recitation. To solve the problem of expressionless faces, we must take the right medicine.

If a child feels nervous, affirm him, praise him, encourage him, enhance his confidence, and create conditions for him to perform in public frequently. If the lack of expression is caused by insufficient understanding of the work, then we must consider whether the selection of recitation materials is appropriate. We must choose works that are in line with his psychology and understanding ability. And we need to inspire him and help him, even if he understands the meaning of the work and the text in a relatively simple and simple way. As long as he understands it, he will have feelings and expressions. Then this is a prerequisite for selecting materials.

As for the performance of gestures, firstly, it must be clear that gestures cannot be made for the sake of gestures. There must be few gestures, but they emphasize key words. Never gesture for every sentence or gesture for every sentence. This dazzles people and affects the language content and emotional expression. Therefore, the gestures should be concise, natural and generous. Don't be exaggerated and artificial, don't be rigid and inflexible. They should be very stretched and naturally as little as possible. The focus is on the expressions and eyes when reciting. These are some things that need to be paid attention to when reciting. This is basic knowledge.
