Although I don't agree with this mother, but now the social competition is so fierce, the early education market is becoming more and more mature. Undeniably, many children have mastered thousands of words before school age, which also makes other parents feel anxious and confused: at what age should children start reading? Is it really the sooner the better?
0 1, at what age is it appropriate for children to start studying?
Some studies have found that when the baby is 3 years old, his memory and overall pattern are already at the peak. The baby is about 4 to 6 years old and can basically reach the peak.
In addition, according to the general law of infants' psychological and intellectual development, children's graphic discrimination ability begins to develop around 3 months after birth, and they can remember all kinds of simple graphics around 8 months. Then after the child is 3 years old, the brain nerves are basically mature, and the memory is already in a vigorous period, and everything he has learned can be remembered clearly. Not only that, but children's ability to understand language has gradually increased since then.
It can be seen that the best age for children to start literacy is after 3 years old. Of course, parents should also respect their children's wishes when teaching them to read. If the child is more resistant or not interested at all, then parents should cultivate their children's interest and then guide them slowly.
02. What should parents pay attention to when teaching their children to read?
With the development of society, although the cost of education is getting higher and higher, almost all parents will try their best to provide the best education for their children. Just "impatient can't eat hot tofu." There are some things that should be paid more attention to before teaching children to read.
(1), don't force children to read.
In real life, many parents start to worry when they see that other children can know so many words when they are only 4 or 5 years old, for fear that their children will fall behind others. However, if children are too deliberately literate, they will be disgusted. It will even reduce the enthusiasm of children for future study, which is really not worth the candle.
(2) It is not advisable to teach children to read early.
In order to let their children run at the starting line, many parents not only reported many early education classes to their children when they were a few months old, but also put the plan of making their children literate on the agenda early. Even when their children are two years old, parents want them to read. However, letting children read too early may sometimes be counterproductive. It will even obliterate children's imagination and innovative thinking ability.
(3) Don't let children learn by rote.
The cognition of Chinese characters may be boring for adults, but the process of children knowing Chinese characters is completely different from that of adults. Children generally don't analyze and understand the internal structure of Chinese characters like adults, but remember Chinese characters as graphics.
03. What are some good ways to teach children to read?
Parents must master the correct methods to achieve the goal of getting twice the result with half the effort.
◆ Strengthen children's memory by telling stories and reading nursery rhymes: In order to avoid boring literacy, parents can also strengthen children's memory by telling stories, reading nursery rhymes, poems and even reading picture books. You know, children's memory is limited. Only after repeated training can children remember better.
◆ Memory method at any time: As mentioned above, it is not recommended to teach children to read too deliberately. In the process of cultivating children's interest in literacy, parents can inadvertently teach their children to read. For example, when going out by car or shopping, parents can point out the Chinese characters they see and read them to their children, so that their children can have a subtle interest in learning.
◆ Combined with games, literacy efficiency is higher: almost all children like to play games, so parents can also combine games to let their children learn Chinese characters. For example, parents can play spelling games with their children and let them put the radicals and radicals of designated Chinese characters together.

In short, it's not too early for children to study. Generally, it is more appropriate to start after the age of 3. Of course, parents should not worry too much when they are 3-4 years old. They can cultivate children's interest first, and then gradually increase the number and difficulty of children's literacy.
