Research on the Application of Picture Book Reading in the Development of Language Ability for Early Childhood Transition

Abstract

The transition from preschool to primary school is an important period for children's language ability to move from natural expression to structured and academic. Currently, a large number of children experience problems such as weak language structure, difficulty adapting to context, and insufficient ability to transfer expression during their transition from kindergarten to primary school. As a comprehensive educational resource that integrates images, language, and context, picture books have good language construction functions and practical transfer value. Based on the analysis of language development characteristics, this article outlines the core mechanism of picture book intervention in language ability cultivation and constructs a three-stage teaching model of "situational input structural imitation expression transfer". On this basis, the system analyzed the problems of detached teaching objectives, fragmented processes, and disconnection from home and school in current practice, and proposed a comprehensive improvement path for teaching design optimization, teacher professional development, picture book resource construction, and home school co education linkage. The research aims to promote the transformation of picture book teaching from resource utilization to system path construction, providing theoretical support and operational strategies for improving the effectiveness of language connection. The research results have positive significance for achieving a scientific transition in language ability and promoting the development of children's comprehensive language literacy.
