I am afraid that we don't have.
Because as far as primary school is concerned, if children go to school without knowing a word, they may end up at the bottom at first. This will greatly affect children's self-confidence. Therefore, even if it is "conformity", children should learn Chinese characters before school.
However, do parents know the age when their children can really start learning Chinese characters?
The connecting class between kindergarten and primary school is not the best choice. In fact, the best age for children to start learning Chinese characters is 3 years old. 3-6 years old is the golden age for children to learn Chinese characters. Many parents may misunderstand this.
At present, Chinese characters are basically not taught to children in public kindergartens, which is called "advanced education". But the fact is that 3-6 years old is really the best age for children to learn Chinese characters.
Foundation one
China Children's Publishing House once held a seminar on bilingual international education for children. At the seminar, experts from Beijing and Shanghai believed that the best age for children to learn Chinese characters was 3-6 years old.
Foundation 2
Montessori's early education also mentioned that 3-4 years old is a critical period for children's visual development, and 4-6 years old is a symbol sensitive period. These two sensitive periods directly determine the best age for children to read, that is, 3-6 years old.
Foundation 3
3-6 years old is the best age for literacy, which actually conforms to the law of whole brain development. Because Chinese characters are actually hieroglyphics, not a number. Therefore, while teaching children Chinese characters, it is the process of children knowing graphics. Graphic cognitive ability is helpful to exercise children's right brain function.
Foundation 4
Children aged 3-6 have a very rich imagination. Knowing Chinese characters at this time is different from rote learning after school, but it exercises imagination, attention, observation, thinking, memory and so on.
All kinds of evidence show that 3-6 years old is really the best age for children to read. Then why do you reject the "advanced education" in kindergartens now? The main reason lies in the way and other issues.
The main reason why kindergartens refuse to teach Chinese characters is that the teaching method is not suitable for every child, which will mislead children and make them feel tired of learning.
So it doesn't matter if you don't learn?
1, don't learn, miss the sensitive period.
Sensitive period, actually missed.
Learning Chinese characters in children's sensitive period will make children feel very interesting. At this time, learning can not only stimulate children's interest, but also stimulate their potential to learn Chinese characters.
But if you haven't learned any Chinese characters in the sensitive period, then this "potential" will be buried. Then when children arrive at primary school, they will embark on the educational model of "copying mechanically", which is easy to produce weariness of learning.
2. Common wrong ways destroy the sensitive period and children's interest in learning.
Why is the advanced education in kindergarten not suitable for children? Because there is a "requirement" for the kindergarten education model. You need to know fixed words, copy them and practice them.
Many parents also teach their children a few words, and the exam will be held in a few days. Do you remember? Sometimes, if you remember, you will be rewarded. If you don't remember, you will be beaten.
The way to listen to lectures carefully is to educate in advance, which has too much utilitarianism, rather than starting from children's own interests and real needs. This will only undermine children's interest in learning, make children feel disgusted with literacy during the sensitive period, and make it easier to have a "learning-weariness" mood after school.
Teaching children to learn Chinese characters is not the most important thing for children aged 3-6.
For example, children's language communication ability, social skills, emotional control ability, concentration, sports ability, fine hand movements, self-care ability, limb coordination ability, reading interest, imagination, expression ability and so on.
Kindergarten-style education and radical education of parents are actually not conducive to children learning Chinese characters. With utilitarianism, it becomes tasteless.
First, use picture books to guide children to read.
If your child likes reading picture books, this step is very easy. This step is also the key to transfer children's interest from pictures to words.
Take the following picture book as an example.
Children may understand that this is a little rabbit sitting on a bag.
However, children will also be curious, what is this rabbit doing sitting on the schoolbag? What's in this bag?
At this time, the child will be very eager to "read" and understand what the little rabbit is doing through the text next to it.
Therefore, teaching children to read through picture books can not only keep their interest, but also enhance their reading ability.
Second, guide children to read with the words around them.
Walking in the street, we will find words and symbols everywhere.
This is a tea shop and a bakery. There are words everywhere on house numbers and road signs. For adults, this is a signal. For children, this is one symbol after another. Moreover, they are very interested in this symbol.
At this time, it is also a very good opportunity to teach children to know the above words.
Third, use "literacy books" to guide children to read.
According to pinyin literacy, this method is actually very unfavorable to the development of children's thinking. Moreover, if children are late in literacy and have little literacy, it will also have a certain impact on their intellectual development.
If children can read 2000 words before going to primary school, then the reading problem of children will be basically solved.
Through the above two methods, children can know many words, but the literacy may not be enough. At this time, some "literacy books" can be used to help children read.
However, we must choose the right literacy book.
There are two books in this set of literacy books prepared by Malaysia for pistachios, namely "Chinese Character Painting" and "Chinese Character Spelling".
Why choose this set of literacy books? There is a simple reason.
First of all, this set of books meets the needs of children's whole brain development
All Chinese characters are evolved from graphics, so that children can observe the appearance of words carefully. This not only makes children interesting to read, but also enables children to start their right brain to associate.
Secondly, this set of books helps children understand words.
Family and marriage may not make much difference to children. However, in this set of books, you can see the difference by spelling. This allows children to understand a word, know different words and form a new word. This is very beneficial to exercise children's attention and observation ability.
If you have preschool children in your family, you don't want your children to receive advanced education too early, but you want them to follow others and be really interested in learning, then you can choose such a set of literacy books.
This child is a relative of Malaysia, and now he is in a kindergarten class. The parents of the children said, "Children as young as 6 years old have begun to be afraid of writing and taking cultural classes."
In fact, what children are afraid of is that the sensitive period is destroyed.
Malaysia has always believed that children's learning depends on talent and IQ, but if there are negative emotions such as weariness of learning, it must be that parents have made mistakes in guiding them.
Literacy may be a key step in this guidance.
