题文
阅读理解 Each weekday, come rain or shine, a group of children, aged 3 to 6, walk into a forest outsideFrankfurt to sing songs, build fires and roll in the mud.
The birthplace of kindergarten is returning to its roots. While schools and parents elsewhere are
pushing young children to read, write and surf the Internet earlier in order to prepare for an increasingly
cutthroat(竞争激烈的) global economy, some little Germans are taking a less traveled path-deep into
the woods.
Germany has about 700 Wald kindergartens, or forest kindergartens, in which children spend their
days outdoors all year round. Blackboards replaced by the Black Forest. Erasers give way to pine
cones(松果). Hall passes aren't required, but bug repellent(驱虫剂) is a good idea.
The schools are a throwback(返回) to Friedrich Froebel, the German educator who opened the
world's first kindergarten, or children's garden, more than 150 years ago. Mr. Froebel advised that
young children should play in nature, free from too many numbers and letters.
only a small number of German children attend Wald kindergarten, but their numbers have been
rising since local parent groups began setting up these programs in the mid1990s, following the lead of
a Danish community. Similar schools exist in smaller numbers in Scandinavia, Switzerland and Austria.
The concept is arousing interest far afield-even in the U. S., whose first Wald kindergarten opened in
Portland, Ore., last fall.
Academic studies of such schools are in their infancy(初期). Some European researchers believe
Wald kindergarten kids exercise their imaginations more than their brickandmortar_peers do and are
better at concentrating and communicating. Despite dangers, from insects particularly, the children
appear to get sick less often in these freshair settings. Studies also suggest their writing skills are less
developed, though, and that they are less skills than other children at distinguishing colors, forms and sizes.
