Ann Matthews Martin (born August 12, 1955) is an acclaimed American children's author.
Ann Martin grew up in Princeton, New Jersey with her parents and her younger sister, Jane. After graduating from Smith College, Martin became a teacher and then an editor of children's books; she is now a full-time writer. Martin finds the ideas for her books from many different sources: some are based on personal experiences, while others are based on childhood memories and feelings. Many are about contemporary problems or events. All of Ann's characters, including the members of The Baby-Sitters Club, are fictional, but many of her characters are based on real people. Sometimes Ann names her characters after people she knows, and other times she simply chooses names that she likes[citation needed].
Martin has always enjoyed writing. Even before she was old enough to write, she would dictate stories to her mother to write down for her. Some of her favorite authors at that time were Lewis Carroll, P. L. Travers, Hugh Lofting, Astrid Lindgren, and Roald Dahl. They inspired her to become a writer herself.
Since ending The Baby-Sitters Club series in 2000, Martin’s writing has concentrated on single novels, many of which are set in the 1960s. In 2010, Martin published a prequel to The Baby-Sitters Club series titled The Summer Before.
After living in New York City for many years, Martin moved to the Hudson Valley in upstate New York where she now lives with her dog, Sadie, and her cats, Gussie, Pippen, and Woody. Her hobbies are reading, sewing, and needlework. Her favorite thing to do is to make clothes for children. According to the biographical blurb in the back of The Baby-Sitters Club books, she "likes ice cream and I Love Lucy and hates to cook".
In 1990, she created the Ann M. Martin Foundation, which provides grants to causes benefiting children, education/literacy programs, and homeless people and animals.
这里面的每个字我们都认识,每句话都懂,但整段文字却让人不知所云。而如果给这段文字加个标题——“洗衣机的使用说明书”(节选),我们立刻会有茅塞顿开的感觉。
评分这个例子直观地说明,识字与阅读理解之间并不能划等号,识了字未必就能理解,阅读理解主要依靠原有的经验来建构文字的意义。因此,在早期阅读中,家长和教师要帮助儿童丰富他们的日常生活经验,广泛认识身边的各种事物。一味地强调识字所能达到的“阅读能力”是不完整的,同时也是有害的。
评分但是,会识字确实不等于会阅读。读者朋友如果对此有疑虑,就请阅读下面这段文字:
