I went back to my hometown during the holiday and met my mother who had talked for several days before. Her child is 2 years old 1 month. Knowing that Tao Tao went to kindergarten, she asked the child, "What did the teacher teach you? Can you write 12345? " The child answered no, and then the mother found a stone on the ground, wrote down the number 12345, and asked Tao Tao which was 1 and which was 2. Tao Tao only knows 1, but he doesn't know anything else. I explained, "They don't teach literacy in kindergarten. He doesn't know it yet." The mother was a little surprised and asked, "If the teacher doesn't teach you, won't you teach your child to read?" My child can already know more than a dozen Chinese characters. When I am free, I will point to the card to remind her. "After that, my mother was full of pride. To tell the truth, when you say that a 2-year-old child can read a lot of words, you really think that this child is very powerful, and parents have a lot of face when they say it. However, how many parents ignore that your child's "winning at the starting line" may also become a stumbling block to his growth.
How old is a child suitable for literacy?
We have all heard the story of pulling out the seedlings to encourage others, and we all know that this is a wrong way, but many parents are doing this wrong thing in life. Take literacy as an example. Don't you think it's too early for parents to let children under 2 years old study? You know, the best literacy age for children is 5-7 years old. At this time, children have entered the "sensitive period of literacy". If we can grasp this critical period, teaching children to read will achieve twice the result with half the effort.
When you teach a 2-year-old to read and recite ancient poems, he can really remember them. But at this time, the child has no cognitive ability and basically belongs to mechanical memory. The child doesn't understand what the words he knows and the poems he recites mean. With the growth of children's age and the sensitive period of literacy, this "advantage" of early literacy is not so obvious. On the contrary, if children are taught to read early, it is easy for them to have resistance and cognitive confusion.
If you want to win at the starting line, mastering the law of children's development is the key.
Doing the right thing at the right time will achieve better results. It is understandable that parents want their children to win at the starting line, but the premise must be to master and respect the law of children's development.

At this time, the child will only make "e" and "ah" sounds. Parents don't have to worry too much, just let them "talk" according to their children's situation. About 8 months, the child enters a period of "high incidence of vocalization" and gradually controls the tone.
1-2 years old children
Children at this stage are more likely to imitate what adults say or animal sounds. Therefore, parents are advised to communicate with their children more before they are 2 years old, even if they don't understand, they should input more. This will increase children's opportunities to speak and help stimulate children's curiosity about pronunciation and literacy.
Children aged 2-3
Generally speaking, children around 3 years old have mastered rich vocabulary and can express their needs. At this time, parents should help their children to increase their vocabulary, and then ask you questions when they have accumulated to a certain extent.
Children aged 3-6
After the child is 3 years old, parents can tell their children more picture books and stories to improve their logical ability. Under the guidance and "exercise" of parents, children can accurately express their needs with the vocabulary they have learned. After the age of 5, children enter the "sensitive period of literacy", and they have a good memory and will have a strong interest in literacy.
Children are interested in literacy since childhood, can they be taught?
We often say that "interest is the best teacher". It is good for children to be interested in literacy, and parents can also teach their children to read. However, we do not advocate parents to teach their children to read by rote. Before children enter school, parents should guide their children's interests to a richer world and help them gain more life experience.
Ma Tao said: The growth of children is like a marathon. Whether he can run to the finish line depends not on how fast he starts, but on how much accumulation and effort he has made in the whole process. Education that encourages by pulling out seedlings will only make children "hay" in the end. What do you think of children's literacy?
