My son is in the first grade of primary school. Recently, the Chinese teacher in his son's class is very depressed. The reason is that the final exam is coming soon, and the new class has not been finished. When reviewing the old class, it is found that children with different literacy levels show obvious reading differences. Many children with strong literacy skills can basically review and read questions independently, while children with poor literacy skills still stay in the slow literacy stage, which greatly reduces the review progress.
So the Chinese teacher specially named several parents in the group and asked them to spare special time at home to help their children improve their literacy ability so that they could keep up with the class progress.
The Chinese teacher said that children who have a literacy foundation before school can understand and memorize new words faster, have stronger reading ability and can keep up with the teacher's curriculum progress, while those who have no literacy foundation have to spend a lot of time and energy to memorize new words, which greatly affects the progress of class.
To tell you the truth, as a mother with two treasures, I tell you with my boss's five-year primary school experience that teachers will certainly teach children after they go to primary school, but parents can't let them go. If the gap between children is too large, teachers will not deliberately slow down and wait for those children who can't keep up with the progress, and their children will have to worry about themselves.
We can take our children out to recognize the words on billboards and trademarks without deliberately making them literate, which can not only help them gain knowledge while playing, but also help them develop an interest in reading, thus subtly understanding autonomous literacy.
The most important thing is that children who have a certain literacy foundation before school have a considerable advantage in reading topics after attending primary school, because only when the topics can be read and understood well can the topics be done correctly.
isn't it better for children to read as early as possible?
the answer is no!
Thanks to the experience of having a second child, my eldest son didn't know much about literacy before he went to primary school. In the first grade, I suffered a lot. While finishing my normal homework, I accompanied my children to catch up with others every day, so I had Erbao. From a very young age, I consciously cultivated my children's literacy ability.
For example, when my child was two years old, I made a surprise search for a lot of literacy materials, but the child was not interested at all, wasting a lot of time every day, making the parent-child relationship very tense, and most importantly, making me so anxious that I always felt that I had a baby who didn't like learning.
As a result, when I was just three years old, I found that my children had a strong interest in literacy. Later, I learned that 3 years old was a sensitive period for children's literacy.
According to the research results of Piaget's psychological theory, before the age of 3, children's memory style is mainly graphic memory, so their ability to distinguish words is very weak.
In other words, children before the age of 3 look at a word just like a picture, and they don't distinguish the strokes and structures of the word, and they don't understand the meaning of the word.
But after three years old, thinking in images began to develop. At this time, I began to have a preliminary understanding of the shape of words. Although I could not really understand the strokes, structure and meaning of words, I was able to distinguish the general differences between words and understand the simple meanings of some common words.
At this time, my Erbao became very interested in literacy, so I took him to observe and find it in daily life. For example, when I took my child to the elevator every day, I read the advertisements for him, and when I saw the roadside words or shop signs on my way to kindergarten, I would take him to read them.
at this time, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the child actually knew a lot of words by himself unconsciously!
At the right time, parents should seize the opportunity to start a systematic literacy enlightenment.
For children's literacy enlightenment, I have some experiences to share with you (don't ask me how the experience came from, I won't tell you that it was all piled up in RMB).
First of all, buy literacy books for children and try to avoid the following pits:
First, don't buy pictures to read, because in the end, you will find that children only know pictures and don't know words at all.
Second, don't buy a literacy book that is not interesting. When you open it, it's full of words, not to mention children, which makes adults have a headache.
Third, don't buy books that are different in content and style from children's daily contact. Children of this age are only interested in what they are familiar with.
Fourth, don't be lazy and save trouble by using the literacy APP. After a long time, you will find that children may know some words, but with it, the degree of children's eyes rises sharply, and they become "small glasses" without going to primary school.
Secondly, only by choosing the right way can we get twice the result with half the effort.
l Immersive scenes, so that children can read imperceptibly.
This is relatively simple, as long as the mother is patient and careful enough. As I said before, go to the billboards everywhere on the street, the words on the advertising paper in the elevator, the price list of items when taking the children out to buy things, etc. Take them to read, and then encourage them to read them themselves. Soon you will find that when you see the same advertisements, the children will naturally read them themselves.
One more thing, you can use post-it notes to make children read at home. For example, my second child likes cars very much. There are many kinds of cars at home, large and small. When he is conscious of literacy, I will ask him to give his cars different names, and then stick stickers on them. When he plays with cars, I will ask him who he is playing with, and he will soon recognize the names of more than a dozen cars.
Of course, every child's hobbies and play styles are different, and parents who are concerned can always find the right way of enlightenment by combining their children's hobbies.
l Appropriate literacy enlightenment tools help children fall in love with Chinese characters.
as I said before, I bought a lot of books, whether it's picture-reading cards or pure literacy books. As a result, I left them at home until one day I took my children to the bookstore, and they kept holding on to a set of books. In desperation, I bought them home. Later, I found out that the children were the ones who knew what they needed best.
This is a set of pinyin literacy combination, which is divided into literacy books and pinyin books, namely "Magic Literacy Book" and "Magic Pinyin Book". As can be seen from the name, this is a combination of literacy and pinyin.
As we all know, at least one-third of the content of Chinese textbooks in the first semester of primary school is pinyin, and many babies' mother tongue enlightenment comes from their families. In many families, their parents or grandparents' own Putonghua is not standard, which greatly affects children's judgment on pinyin. Therefore, many children who have just entered primary school are confused with their flat tongue and tongue sounds, their nasal sounds are easy to be confused, and their initials are easy to be confused with their homophones.
The Magic Pinyin Book is a set of Pinyin learning picture books designed for young children aged 3-8. The whole set contains six books, including initials, finals and tones, i u ü and so on.
The interesting thing about this set of books is that the initial consonant, vowel and spelling are integrated into a complete story, children are familiar with Pinyin by anthropomorphic storytelling, and Pinyin is memorized by nursery rhymes. Pinyin is reviewed and consolidated by small games, with vivid pictures and texts, which improves children's reading interest.
This book breaks away from the boring letter recognition, and gives life and role to each letter in a playful animation form. With catchy children's songs, children can remember it at once, and it is easy to distinguish the flat tongue from the front nasal sound and the rear nasal sound.
The Magic Literacy Book is just a matching literacy reader with the Magic Pinyin Book. This set of books is in the form of Pinyin+Reader, which allows children to practice after learning Pinyin. At the same time, if there is any pinyin that they can't learn, they should review and consolidate what they have learned by combining the pinyin letters in the Magic Pinyin Book.
This set of books can be said to be very suitable for children's early literacy enlightenment. The pinyin in it is closely related to the pinyin content of the first grade of primary school, which lays a solid foundation for children's pinyin in a vivid form. The literacy content covers almost all the new words that are required to be written in primary school textbooks, which is very suitable for children aged 3-6 to use for literacy and pinyin enlightenment.
Write it at the end:
In short, children who learn to bully are not born, and they all need wise parents to enlighten them correctly. For children who are literate, it will kill their interest and affect the parent-child relationship too early, and only the right time and the right way can get twice the result with half the effort.
In addition, children have periods of conflict and burnout when learning anything. Parents should know that this is a normal phenomenon. Mothers should never criticize their children or force them to continue learning in a boring way, but try to guide them in some more interesting ways.
