For example, words and phrases that parents don't know; For example, the pronunciation of words that cannot be corrected; For example, it is impossible to judge whether the child has made a mistake; At this time, easy-to-use learning tools can solve our problems, not only helping children, but also "helping" parents.
A, dictionary pen
The dictionary pen is an introductory gift I chose for Dabao, and I chose Youdao p3 Professional Edition. There is a saying that parents are familiar with. We often use word search tools when we go to school.
I just started to use computer web pages to look up words, and later I upgraded to a mobile APP, which can be used frequently when I graduate from work. Now there is a dictionary pen to help children learn, which is much more convenient and intelligent than what we used at that time!
The functionality of dictionary pen is much stronger than that of similar point reading products. After all, it is a tool that can accompany the whole study and life. Dictionaries and pens can play a role in English enlightenment when I was a child, when I grow up, when I enter school, when I go to college, when I take the postgraduate entrance examination, and even after graduation. But, it's not just that!
Improve children's interest in learning
The appearance of Youdao dictionary pen is not as cute and interesting as point reading pen, but it can be matched with many lovely protective covers, which can also make up for the shortcomings. The dictionary pen contains comprehensive functions, which are clear at a glance, and it is also equipped with interactive reading function. The original artifact school bus, David Shannon, Dahonggou, and the elephant Chinese character card can all be read and interacted.
It is said that the function of clicking on the globe will be introduced soon, and it can be automatically recognized without switching modes. Moreover, it is a deductive storyline, with original subtitles and scene animation, which is more vivid. It also adds interesting interactive answering questions and medal reward functions.
Let children review the reading results while studying easily, gain a sense of accomplishment and enhance their learning fun; There is also an AI intelligent voice assistant. You can ask any questions you want, which is more interactive for children.
Solve parents' reading and writing problems
As a parent, teaching children to read English is my biggest headache. When I first taught Dabao, I had to look up the words first, and then I taught him to read. If I don't say that it is inefficient, it will sometimes damage my "tall image" as a mother! With the dictionary pen, unfamiliar words and Chinese characters can be directly scanned and read to children directly.
More importantly, we use pure English/Bel Canto instead of the point-reading pen, which is much more accurate than what our parents read. Plus the big screen, the children can see more clearly, which perfectly solves the parents' "embarrassing" moment and can improve their good habit of autonomous learning.
Correct a child's pronunciation
There is a dictionary pen with real pronunciation, which is accurate and pure, and perfectly solves the problem of inaccurate pronunciation of children. Youdao independently developed OCR technology and neural network translation technology, and the translation quality is comparable to that of TEM-8! Youdao has a large number of real questions and materials in his own listening library.
Even if you can't meet the needs of children, you can download the listening content of primary school, junior high school, senior high school and university through the network and import it through the computer. Different from the traditional dictionary query, only the phonetic symbols are displayed, and there is no way to guide children whether their pronunciation is standard.
Dictionary pens can help children solve this problem. Not only that, you can also read words or whole sentences in real time. AI can mark mistakes in red and correct pronunciation in time.
Avoid distracting children.
Children's nature is to love to play, and it is relatively difficult to enter a state of concentration. In the process of learning, distraction is the most terrible thing in learning, because it is more difficult to concentrate again. Using traditional dictionaries to look up words is inefficient, while using mobile phones to look up words easily makes children look at other content, which leads to distraction.
At this time, the dictionary pen is the best word search tool. Whether it is the internal 3.88 million thesaurus, the external quad-core processor and the super-large window, it adds points to the recognition speed, and the word search is very fast, which hardly delays every minute of children's study, which not only improves the learning efficiency, but also maintains a focused learning state.
Finally, summarize the functions of Dabao professional dictionary pen p3:
1, whether it is a word or a whole sentence, the recognition degree is very high, the chip is upgraded, the scanning speed is increased by 40%, the industry is leading, and the font, content and material are not limited.
2. Professional translation, with a huge vocabulary of 3.88 million, including Chinese, English, Japanese and Korean, which is not available in other versions.
3, Chinese characters can be found, not only in English, but also in learning.
4. Collect new words and link with Youdao Dictionary App to deepen your memory.
5, follow-up mode, practice pronunciation, AI score, and correct it in time.
6, AI intelligent assistant, answering questions, satisfying children's 100,000 whys
7. Click to read the interaction and click to read the book.
Powerful functional support makes children's learning no longer monotonous and creates a comfortable and positive learning environment.
Second, the early education machine
Listen to the cow.
The brand I chose for the morning education machine is Niuting, which is the result of Amway.
Choose a small buffalo that is easy to carry. The outside is made of silicone, which feels good and is resistant to falling and waterproof. Even if children like to bite, there will be no safety hazards, and the shape is mini and compact. Basically, they will take it with them when they go out, which will be a weapon to coax the baby when they go out. If you want to talk to a friend, you can arrange a small buffalo for your child and calm down directly.
Functionally, it has a wide range of resources and has its own APP, from English to stories to nursery rhymes; Everything, but also edifying function. You can arrange courses according to your child's needs, and play them automatically, which is more intelligent. But also divided into different scenes, going out, sleeping or eating have different audio.
In addition, if you want to upload your own audio, you can upload the audio you want to listen to to to the cloud disk, but the space of the cloud disk is calculated on time and long, and you can draw for a long time by doing activities.
Youdao listening Bao
I didn't buy Bauer an audiobook, but a colleague's treasure. I always listened to her Amway, but Bauer didn't buy it again because she already had a buffalo.
However, after reading the Taoist, the online comments are very good, mainly to practice English listening and speaking. There are a lot of listening resources in it, and the simulated listening and speaking test questions of the senior high school entrance examination are all true stories that happened in Britain and America, and can be repeated accordingly.
You can set the number of cycles to strengthen your memory; With intelligent scoring function, it can automatically test and score when it is turned on, matching the corresponding listening and speaking content, which is very helpful for primary and secondary school students to improve their English.
Compared with audiobooks, it will be more practical than buffalo, but the application scope of the two models is different. Buffalo is more suitable for preschool children, and audio books will be more helpful to primary and secondary school students.
Third, point reading pen
Reading pens should be a new thing for our parents. When I didn't ask about this product in detail, I was still vague about the concept of "point reading machine", and I was still impressed by the phrase "I can't order" in the TV advertisement. After inquiry, I found that the history of point reading pen is quite long. It used to be popular in the United States and other places, usually children aged 0-7, and it was also the best time to learn a language.
The main significance of parents buying some reading pens is to enlighten their children in English and help them improve their reading ability, but I may be different. I just want to keep my children away from the ipad and my old mother. After all, Dabao's enlightenment stage was "accompanied" by me every minute!
The reading pens bought for children are selected from two aspects:
Appearance: good material, high quality, good feel and high value; The volume can be adjusted and controlled, and the key operation is convenient;
Intrinsic: the books to be read should be rich and of high quality, and the fonts and patterns should be printed clearly; Clear standard of sound quality; Interesting.
Based on these, I chose two models:
Caterpillar point reading pen
The caterpillar point reading pen is chosen mainly because of its lovely appearance and attractive to children. The shell is made of rubber, which belongs to food-grade silicone material, which not only increases the sense of use of children, but also has much higher safety.
In use, the sound quality of the caterpillar is very strong, and there are many sound effects, and the authorized resources are also quite rich. There are many open resources available. In addition, it also comes with a dictionary card, which can be read at any time and the installation is relatively simple. Parents can download MP3 audio to a folder and click the "Audio button" to play it automatically.
The Caterpillar Dot Pen supports recording. According to the recorded post, you can record the audio you want to remember. Clicking this recorded post will automatically play this audio.
Of course there are advantages and disadvantages. The memory of the caterpillar is very small, only 16G, and the original works that can be adapted are not cheap, such as Nursery Rhymes of Goose, Cave Book, rainbow rabbit singalong, Oxford Reading Tree, High-five Magazine and so on. They are all picture books authorized by internationally renowned publishing houses, which is not a small expense, and all books and fonts are unrecognizable.
Suitable for younger children, it is not only an auxiliary tool for children to learn, but also can improve children's reading interest and create an independent reading space for children.
Xiao ren da Dian du pen
In terms of appearance, Xiao Daren's appearance is not as cute as a caterpillar, and his hand feels worse. But fortunately, there is a lot to read, and he can also make his own audio, which can turn ordinary textbooks, stories or picture books into readable audio books. There is nothing to say about the compatibility of resources, jam English, graded reading, English dictionary, mathematics enlightenment, his pronunciation is slow, so that children can keep up.
Little Daren's memory is 32G and 16G. I bought 16G, but! It is recommended to buy 32G, otherwise it is really not enough. The adapted picture book has a wide range of resources, but the texture of the pen will be worse, the sound quality is not as good as that of the caterpillar, and the shell is not very cute. But this little reading pen can be used by children for a long time. After all, there are no caterpillars to burn money.
Of course, no matter how powerful these auxiliary learning tools are, they can't replace the "status" of parents. Children can't really learn knowledge without the help and guidance of their parents.
1, set the target.
It is best for parents to set this goal according to their children's current level before learning, such as which words to learn or the meaning of this page. Children are playful by nature, and learning without goals can easily make children turn learning tools into poked toys.
2. Encouragement system.
Give encouragement and praise in time when the child tells the content of this study, so that he can be more active in the next study. Don't criticize your child too much even if you don't finish the original plan. There should be criticism, but it should be moderate.
To sum up:
Caterpillars and small talents are more suitable for preschool children. As children grow older and enter school, the frequency of use will gradually decrease. Personally, I prefer buffalo and Youdao dictionary pen to other models. Both of them are very popular with children and belong to long-term learning tools, especially the dictionary pen, which can even participate in the whole process of children's learning career.
The purpose of buying learning tools at the beginning is very simple, that is, I want to remove myself from the identity of "mentor". However, through various references and years of experience, auxiliary learning tools can not only improve children's autonomous learning ability, but also greatly enhance children's interest in learning and truly achieve independent learning.
