1. Early education is not the same as education and training.
Early education is not simply about finding a teacher to give children extra training. Parents should be "emotional first", "nurturing first" and "combining education", and spend at least one hour a day communicating with their children and interacting with them in life and games.
Experts point out that babies are capable learners from the moment they are born, and parents should pay attention to and cultivate their physical, emotional, cognitive and social activities.
2. Early education should conform to the law of children's development
Early education needs to understand the physical and psychological characteristics of children of different ages, and carry out relevant education according to the law of children's development. It needs to be done step by step, and it must not be rushed. Premature early education development can only increase parents' expectations of children and add pressure to children's future development for no reason. Therefore, parents are advised to carefully choose the early education mode for their children.
3, early education should be safety first
In the process of early education, parents or teachers should put safety first. You can't achieve a certain course goal without considering the security risks.
how to teach children early reading?
Teaching a 23-year-old baby to read early can't expect him to achieve a certain reading purpose like an adult. Adult reading is for study or recreation; Teaching the baby to read, as long as it can cultivate his interest in reading, will achieve the goal. When children have an interest in reading, they will have more motivation to learn deeply.
Although my son is only over three years old, he is already very fond of reading. He can read a lot and read fluently, which often attracts admiration.
Step 1: Become attached to the literacy card
When my son was two months and two years old, I bought him a set of literacy cards with more than 6 words. This is a set of cards with single sheet and thick paper. On the front of the card is a big color picture, and a word related to the picture is written in Tian Zi Gerry in the upper right corner or the lower left corner, and the back is written in block letters with a brush.
at first, my son obviously regarded these cards as toys. He knows the animals or objects on the cards with great interest. One month later, one day, I accidentally picked up a card with my hands and put the brush characters on the back facing my son. Then I shook my mouth and said, "Tick-tock, tick-tock, what is this reading?" My son was very interested in this game. He laughed. Of course, he didn't know it.
I turned the card over so that he could see the picture, pointed to the small words beside the picture, read them twice, then turned it over so that he could see the big characters of the brush, read them twice, and then I asked, "Tick-tock, what is this reading?" My son can read it correctly. I praised him exaggeratedly, kissed him on the forehead and said loudly, "Oh, you are so smart!" "
After that, I found three other words with relatively simple strokes and taught them in the same way.
The next time I play this game, I first find out the four words I read for the first time and ask him, "Tick-tock, what do you read this?" My son actually remembered three of them. I mixed several other simple words into it and continued to play this game with my son. My son has a sense of accomplishment gradually, because he can actually read some "strange" words. Of course, as encouragement, praise is indispensable.
Step 2: Wonderful bedtime games
Later, we formed a habit of playing "word reading" games for a while before going to bed every day. Almost a month later, he has learned more than 6 words. Even if I write the words on other papers, he can recognize them.
jokes are inevitable in the process of literacy. After knowing the word "fat", every time he plays a game, his son must first find the word "fat" and throw it under the bed, muttering "Don't be fat". I don't know why he doesn't like this word. Maybe it's because this card depicts an ugly and fat man with a belly exposed!
After a period of "games", he can read children's books such as 3 children's songs fluently, which shows that he has finished the basic reading.
Proper methods and mastery of principles are the key to success
From the experience of teaching my son early reading for more than a year, early learning reading can expand children's living space, enhance their self-confidence and cultivate their interest in learning as long as the methods are proper. Meanwhile, I think the following principles are also very important.
First, the principle of interest
We can't expect 23-year-old babies to study hard, but as long as they are interested, they can also concentrate on an activity for a long time. As long as parents discover their children's interests, they can create many situations to teach their children to learn literacy and reading.
My son likes to watch the weather forecast since he was a child. As soon as the weather forecast arrives, I concentrate on reading the words after the announcer on TV. It suddenly occurred to me why not take this opportunity to let him know the names of cities, so when the forecaster said "Beijing", I pointed to the word "Beijing" on the screen and read it again, so he knew the relationship between the cities he read every day and the Chinese characters appearing on the screen.
My son is still a car fan. When he takes him shopping, he dances when he sees the traffic on the road, chanting, "Tricycles, motorcycles, cars, trucks, tractors ..." Since he knew numbers, his great hobby has been reading the license plates in front of and behind cars, which helps him read Arabic numerals fluently early.
We also attach great importance to this hobby of his. A "Little Car Fan" bought by my husband has become my son's favorite reading for a long time. He not only knows all kinds of vehicles on it, but also knows their names. Even if he writes them by hand on paper, he can read them fluently, such as "heavy truck", "mixer truck", "engineering maintenance truck", "British Morgan concept car" and "Japanese Toyota Kauste medium bus". Walking in the street, my son often reads the words sprayed on the car body.
However, for story books, it depends on whether he is interested that day. I bought some books for my son, such as The Fisherman and His Wife, The Baby's Bedtime Story, and so on. He almost never reads them, but my husband bought him some books with simple pictures and few words, such as Fat Bear and Wolf, and he liked them very much. Sometimes I can lie on the sofa and watch it for 4 minutes. If he encounters a word he doesn't know, he asks for help: "My father misses" or "My mother misses".
Second, the principle of living
Don't think of books when you hear "reading". In fact, ready-made "teaching materials" are everywhere in our life, and children are very interested in them. Letting children read the words on various daily necessities can not only cultivate their reading ability, but also help them expand their living space.
"What are you eating?" Read the words on the box with my son, and I won't let him eat until he can read it. Through this exercise, my son can read Want Want Snow Cake, Pumpkin Cake, Alpine Lollipop, White Rabbit Butterflies and Fumando Instant Noodles very early.
when I have plenty of time, I will take my son to the supermarket, let him sit on the trolley and take the goods off the shelf for him to read. Now, my son is very sophisticated in the supermarket. He points to the trademark and reads aloud: "shampoo", "toilet water" and "calcium tablets" ...
After buying a washing machine at home, the box was put in the living room for his son to play for many days. First read the words on it, and then play with the big box as a house.
Third, the principle of education
Babies at the age of two or three have the strongest ability to observe and imitate, but their ability to distinguish behavior is not very strong, so we should also pay attention to the principle of education when teaching them to read and write.
When I take my son for a walk in the street, every time I see a trash can or garbage truck, my son is very interested: "What is this?" In fact, he always asks knowingly. I would stand with him at the garbage bin for a while every time, point to the words on it and ask him, "What's the garbage bin for?" After my son eats cookies, ice cream or drinks, I always remind him to hold the box until he walks near the garbage can before throwing it in. Before throwing it, I will ask him to read the name of the goods on the box again, and then say, "Let's throw the empty shell of Huiyuan Juice in."
if my son occasionally throws something he doesn't use on the road, I will pick it up and take it, and then give it to my son to throw it in when I walk to the trash can. Now, he has basically formed a good habit of not littering.
When my son drinks milk and other beverages with short shelf life, I will ask him, "Is it expired?" Then find a line with a shelf life, let him read it, and then I will tell him that it has been in production for a few days. Now, every time I take my son to the supermarket to buy food, my son will ask me, "Is it overdue?" The advantage of this is that everything I buy now will not expire! Through this exercise, I believe that the concept of "shelf life" has taken root in my son's young mind.
billboards on lawns and gardens are convenient and instructive reading materials. Every time we take him past the sign in front of the lawn, we stop. Now he knows and understands the word "protection" and their meanings, and then I teach him to read the next line "just take one more step". When he learns, I will explain to him what it means. When I was writing this article, my son was playing with building blocks beside me. I wrote these words out with a pen for him to read. As a result, he read it fluently at once.
children's style should be cultivated from an early age, starting with small things.
why do children need early education?
Early education can lay a good foundation for the cultivation of children's multiple intelligences and healthy personality.
In fact, "early education" is not to teach anything, but to give care and guidance to the baby in life, so that his mind and body can develop better. For example, humming songs, touching the baby while breastfeeding, talking with him more, taking him out for a walk, and massaging while taking a bath … these are actually the contents of early education.
