With the rapid development of society nowadays, the demand for talents is urgently needed. Our imagination and creativity would often decide our ways, our fate and our future. Children ages 6-8 have plenty of imagination. Unfortunately, we do lose some of our playful curiosity and imagination as we mature. However, children’s imagination could be fully developed, based on right education and good environment. All children have inherent imaginative potential subject to guidance, stimulation and development. To foster the imagination for the students in Grade One, we need to start from cultivate their interests in learning. Picture books are the right collateral materials for these children, which could develop a keen interest of them in reading and tremendously magnify their imagination. The main research methods adopted in this study include action research, text analysis and case study. From the perspective of cultivating the imagination, this study critically reviews the status quo of Chinese teaching for Grade One. The findings have revealed that the main problems there include: 1) teaching contents are old-fashioned and limited by singleness; 2) students are given less time to read after class; and 3) both teachers and students are suffering from the stress created by the examinations. This research also analyses the huge imaginative elements the binding, the pictures, the characters and the stories of the picture books contained. Then, it has drawn a conclusion that there are several strategies to cultivate the imagination of students in Grade One through teaching with picture books – guessing strategy, continuation strategy in picture books, picture-imagination strategy, play experiences with imagination strategy and self-creating picture books strategy. Accordingly, it suggests that parent-child reading with picture books, which focuses on developing children’s interest in reading, reading together between parents and children, and inspiring children’s imagination, can contribute to cultivating children’s imagination.
