The best age for babies to learn to read.
Baby's learning to read is related to baby's perception ability. China's Chinese characters have little to do with numbers. If the baby has been able to debate the faces of strangers and acquaintances, or the most complex geometric figures, and has a certain concentration, then it means that the baby has the basic conditions for literacy. This period is probably when the baby is two or three years old, depending on personal circumstances.
From the age of three, children's shape perception has developed rapidly.
Between three and seven years old, with the increase of age, the percentage of children's correct understanding of graphics gradually increases, and the average time to complete tasks gradually decreases.
At the age of four, children are most sensitive to graphic perception. Characters are actually a kind of graphics, while Chinese characters are a kind of hieroglyphics and a special kind of graphics.
Therefore, at this time, it is best to teach children to read.
How to teach your baby to read.
Create a literate environment for children
Environment is the first meaning for children to know words. In our life, we are exposed to a lot of words every day: advertising words on TV, colorful words on food packaging bags, shop signs of fast food restaurants and roadside signs, all of which constitute a ready-made and good environment for children to read.
Parents can let their children learn whatever they see, such as learning "cars" (cars, trains, trucks, police cars, etc.) when they see cars coming; Learn "trees" when you see them (poplars, willows, pine trees, big trees, etc.). On the one hand, you can use the environmental effects of these Chinese characters to deepen your understanding of Chinese characters through immersive feelings; On the one hand, it can also cultivate children's good habits of observing and asking questions.
Teach babies to read with picture story books.
Sometimes, you can also adopt the method of endorsing first and then recognizing words. Tell your child the story he likes to listen to repeatedly until the baby can repeat it independently. At this time, we read together, sit in the right position and find the font corresponding to the pronunciation. It should be noted that: you must point to the words in the order of the words, and your eyes must look at the words. At this time, your child's attention must be concentrated.
When children have a certain amount of literacy, parents can also use the method of raising words. For example, if a calf is mentioned in the story book, take it out and ask the baby what it eats. The baby said, "Eat grass! Then let the baby know the word "grass".
Literacy cards are very important.
Interested parents can make many illustrated literacy cards themselves, or collect some pictures to teach their children to read. In daily life, children are taught to know Chinese characters from time to time through cards and games. It is easy for children to learn, easy for parents to teach, and more importantly, it can deepen their impression of Chinese characters.
"Action" method
Parents can let their children know words by doing actions. When parents dress their children, they can take out a card with the word "wear" written on it, and then do the action of "wear", so that the children can also do the action of "wear" to achieve the effect of letting them use their hands and brains.
When children have literacy needs, parents should try their best to meet them in early education. The children are curious. He saw these words in the environment and wanted to know what they meant. At this time, he needs to know these words. When children have their own needs, they feel comfortable and learn better. Therefore, parents must seize the opportunity when their children want to study, "take the opportunity to teach."
Learn Chinese characters need to pay attention to the following points:
Be patient and persistent. If you start training from birth, it will take at least five months to see the effect. The first sign of literacy is to tell you with your eyes where the words you read are. Then distinguish the word you want from a bunch of words. I can finally read it. So it takes a long time to teach your baby to read.
You don't have to start with the simplest words. Such as people, days, months, etc. Because children's literacy is actually to recognize Chinese characters and graphics. The more strokes, the easier it is to distinguish the graphics.
Don't give your child any problems and obstacles. Words with similar strokes should not be studied together. Such as: mom, grandma.
Don't set any progress and standards for yourself and your children. Since it is a game, parents should really think it is a game. I haven't counted how many words I can recognize for everything. And no book will tell you how many words a one-and-a-half-year-old child can read.
Don't take any kind of tests and exams. Once a child hesitates about the words he has learned, he will never embarrass the child, and parents just repeat them immediately.
When children's interests change, they will never be forced.
Learning Chinese characters must be integrated into life and games, and there must be no class time.
Family members, especially nannies, should participate in children's literacy programs.
Don't look at pictures and read books, so children will only look at pictures.
Learning vocabulary is not very helpful to children's language development. It is best to learn words.
