英国低幼儿童的阅读推广服务研究

Research on the Young Children’s Reading Promotion Service in United Kingdom

选取"阅读起跑线""确保开端计划""暑期阅读挑战""享阅(俱乐部)"4个全国性低幼儿童阅读推广项目为例,透视英国低幼儿童阅读推广服务的发展。采取文献调研、案例分析的方法,深入剖析英国低幼儿童阅读推广的特点与发展的动力。英国低幼儿童阅读推广的特点:以家庭为基本单元;以公共图书馆为主要阵地;以客观调研为活动开展的依据;以消除贫困,保障儿童基本阅读权益为目标;以为入学做准备为主要目的。"阅读改变一切,多早开始也不为过""快乐阅读最重要""投资早期阅读,收益巨大"是英国低幼儿童阅读推广秉持的重要理念。政府部门、学会/协会、慈善组织、图书馆及保健中心分别扮演着发起者、组织者、资助者、推动者的不同角色,彼此之间形成了多元合作、协同发展的阅读推广体系,共同推动低幼儿童阅读的发展。

The article selects four representative and influential national reading promotion projects for young children:Bookstart,Sure Start,Summer Reading Challenge,and Chatasterbooks (Reading Clubs) as examples to analyze the development of reading promotion services for young children in the UK.It summarizes the characteristics of such promotions:family as the basic unit;public library as the main organizer;objective surveys as the basis for the activities;eliminating poverty elimination and protection of children’s basic rights and interests as the goal;and preparing young children for school as the main purpose."Reading changes everything;it’s never too early to start","reading for pleasure",and "early reading is the most important investment" are the important concepts in British reading promotion.Government departments,societies/associations,charitable organizations,libraries,and health care centers play different roles as initiators,organizers,funders,and promoters,which thus forms the reading promotion system to jointly promote the reading for young children.
