1, early education is not equal to education and training.
Early education is not simply to find a teacher to give children extra training. Parents should put "emotion first", "parenting first" and "combining education", spend at least one hour a day communicating with their children and interact well 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.
To carry out early education, we need to understand the physiological and psychological characteristics of children of different ages and carry out relevant education according to the law of children's development. We need to do it step by step, and we can't rush it. The early development of early education can only raise parents' expectations of their children, and increase the pressure on their future development for no reason. Therefore, parents are advised to choose their children's early education mode carefully.
3. Early education should put safety first.
In the process of early education, parents or teachers should put safety first. You can't achieve a course goal without considering security risks.
How to teach children to read early?
Teaching a 23-year-old baby to read early can't be expected to achieve a certain reading purpose like an adult. Adult reading is for learning or entertainment; Teaching the baby to read, as long as it can cultivate his interest in reading, will achieve the goal. When children are interested in reading, they will have more motivation to study in depth.
Although my son is only over three years old, he already likes 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 old, I bought him a set of literacy cards with more than 60 words. This is a set of cards with a single sheet of thick paper. On the front of the card is a large color picture, with a sentence related to the picture written in Tianzigeli in the upper right corner or the lower left corner, and the back 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 card like the back of his hand. One day a month later, I accidentally picked up a card with my hand and pointed the calligraphy on the back at my son. Then I shook my mouth and said, "Tick-tock, tick-tock, what is this reading?" My son is very interested in this game. He smiled. Of course, he didn't know.
I turned the card over to show him the picture, pointed to the small print next to the picture, read it twice, then turned it over to show him the big brush, read it twice, and then I asked, "Tick-tock, what is this reading?" My son can read it correctly. I praised him exaggeratedly, kissed his forehead and said loudly, "Oh, you are so smart!" " "
Then I found three other words with relatively simple strokes and taught them in the same way.
Next time I play this game, I will find out the four words I read for the first time and ask him, "Ding Ding, what are you reading here?" My son actually remembers three of them. I mixed in a few other simple words 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 essential.
Step 2: Wonderful bedtime games.
Later, we got into the habit of playing a word-reading game before going to bed every day. Almost a month later, he has learned more than 60 words. Even if I write my words on other paper, he can recognize them.
In the process of literacy, jokes are inevitable. After knowing the word "fat", every time he plays a game, his son must first find the word "fat", throw it under the bed and mutter "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 his stomach exposed!
After a period of "games", he can now read children's books such as 300 Children's Songs fluently, which shows that he has completed basic reading.
Proper methods and mastery of principles are the key to success.
From my experience of teaching my son early reading for more than a year, as long as the methods are proper, early learning reading can expand children's living space, enhance their self-confidence and cultivate their interest in learning. Meanwhile, I think the following principles are also important.
I. Principle of interest
We can't expect a 23-year-old baby to study hard, but as long as the child is interested, he can concentrate on an activity for a long time. As long as parents discover their children's interests, they can create many situations and teach their children to learn literacy and reading.
My son likes watching the weather forecast since he was a child. As soon as the weather forecast arrived, I was absorbed in reading the words after the announcer on TV. It suddenly occurred to me why I didn't take this opportunity to let him know the name of the city, so when the forecaster said "Beijing", I pointed to the word "Beijing" on the screen and read it again, so that he knew the relationship between the city he read every day and the Chinese characters appearing on the screen.
My son is also a car fan. When he took him shopping, he danced when he saw the traffic on the road, chanting: "Tricycles, motorcycles, cars, trucks, tractors ..." Since he knew numbers, one of his great hobbies was reading the license plates on the front and back of cars, which helped him to read Arabic numerals fluently very early.
We also attach great importance to his hobby, and a book "Car Fans" 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 it by hand on paper, he can read it fluently, such as "heavy truck", "mixer", "engineering maintenance vehicle", "British Morgan concept car" and "Japanese Toyota Kauste medium-sized bus". Walking in the street, my son often sees the words sprayed on the car body.
However, for a story book, 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 hardly ever reads it, but my husband bought him some books with simple pictures and few words, such as Fat Bear and Wolf, which he liked very much. Sometimes you can lie on the sofa and watch it for 40 minutes. If he comes across a word he doesn't know, he asks for help: "My father misses" or "My mother misses".
Second, the principle of life
Don't think of books when you hear "reading". In fact, ready-made "teaching materials" in life abound around us, and children are also very interested. 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. I won't let him eat them until he can read them. Through this exercise, my son can read Wangwang ice cream, pumpkin pie, alpine lollipop, white rabbit butterfly 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 shelves for him to see. Now, my son is very sophisticated in the supermarket. He pointed to the trademark and read it aloud: "shampoo", "toilet water" and "calcium tablets" ...
After buying a washing machine at home, the box was put in the living room for my son to play with for many days. Read the words first, and then play with the big box as a house.
Third, educational principles.
The 23-year-old baby has the strongest observation and imitation, but the ability to distinguish behavior is not very strong. Teaching them to read and write should also pay attention to educational principles.
Take my son for a walk in the street. Every time I see a trash can or a garbage truck, my son is very interested: "What is this?" In fact, he always knows perfectly well past ask. Every time I will stand beside the trash can with him for a while, pointing to the words on it and asking him, "What is the trash can for?" After my son finishes eating cookies, ice cream or drinks, I always remind him to hold the box until he walks near the trash 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 away, then walk to the trash can and give it to my son to throw in. Now, he has basically developed 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, show it to him, 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 nothing I buy now will expire! Through this exercise, I believe that the concept of "shelf life" has taken root in my son's young mind.
Signs 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 this means. When I wrote this article, my son was playing with building blocks. I wrote these words out for him with a pen. As a result, he finished reading fluently at once.
Children's style should be cultivated from an early age and start from 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 body and mind can be better developed. For example, humming songs, touching the baby while breastfeeding, talking to him more, taking him out for a walk, and massaging in the shower … these are actually the contents of early education.
