Abstract

Moral education is the top priority of quality education. Elementary school is a critical period for children to form excellent character, and the effectiveness of moral education directly affects the character building and further development of children. However, moral education at this stage in China tends to remain superficial and does not have a substantial positive impact on students’ moral feelings and behaviors. Picture books, as a kind of reading material with both pictures and texts, break the traditional way of reading. The combination of illustrations and text can attract children’s interest and thus trigger in-depth thinking and perception. If picture books are used as moral education materials in elementary schools with proper teaching design and education methods, the moral education effect should be obvious. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the value and effectiveness of picture books for moral education. The main research methods of this thesis are document study and the experience summary. The results of the study are as follows: 1) Picture books for teaching are effective moral education tools; 2) teachers can select picture book materials in a targeted way according to students’ moral performance; 3) teaching with picture books can promote teacher-student communication, and that communication can in turn promote the effectiveness of moral education, which form a virtuous circle. Therefore, picture books should be used as a good material in the moral education of children.
