So now many early education institutions have mushroomed, and even many institutions are providing one-stop services from prenatal education.
Maybe some parents don't think much about education when their children can't talk or walk, but when their children can walk and talk, the education problem suddenly appears in front of them like a mountain, which makes many parents afraid.
Xiao Doudou just turned two this year and is in a sensitive period of language. He has gradually been able to adapt to express himself in a few words or even a long sentence.
Xiao Doudou's mother was very pleased with this and thought that the child's language development was still very good, but this cognition was quickly broken in an afternoon.
This afternoon, Doudou's mother greeted her cousin who was far away from home through video. It happened that her cousin's three and a half-year-old child was learning to read. So the cousin asked his son to perform a program for his aunt. The little nephew immediately recited "Singing Goose" fluently and proudly told his aunt that he already knew two or three hundred Chinese characters.
This can kill Doudou's mother. She recalled that Doudou might only know a few words, and instantly felt that her child had fallen on the starting line.
In the next few days, Ms. Doudou will teach Professor Doudou literacy as long as she has time, but the result of her study makes her very depressed. After studying for three days, Doudou may only remember two words. Mother Doudou can't help thinking, is it too late for me to enlighten my children now? When should children learn to read?
The developmental stage of children's literacy is 1. 1~2 years old, which is a general stage.
Children at this stage have no concept of words. In children's cognition, words are a sign of honesty. At this stage, children do not have the ability to read and understand. Parents can only tell their children by creating a reading atmosphere. When reading and studying, this symbol of words is different from other symbols.
2.3 ~ 3.5 years old, initial interest stage.
At this stage, children begin to form the concept of words slowly, and can already vaguely know the function of words. Children will have a strong curiosity about words, but they can't relate the image and content of words well.
At this stage, parents teach their children to read, the main purpose is to cultivate their interest in reading.
3.3 years old and a half to 5 years old, literacy sensitive period.
Children at this stage will gradually discover that abstract words can correspond to actual objects in life. This novel cognition will make children have a strong interest in words.
Moreover, at this age, children's cognitive ability and associative ability have matured, and their acceptance of words will be much faster than when they were young. If parents can make good use of this time, children's literacy will have a great leap.
It is not difficult to see that the golden age of children's literacy should be between 3 and 5 years old, and parents will get twice the result with half the effort during this period.
Some parents may have questions when they see this. Their children have obviously accepted the enlightenment of literacy at this stage. Why is the effect achieved unsatisfactory? In fact, it is because many parents have gone into some misunderstandings when teaching their children to read.
Parents tend to fall into these misunderstandings when educating their children. 1. Over-reliance on literacy tools.
When children enter the literacy stage, parents often actively prepare literacy cards, literacy maps and other tools to help children understand words. But many parents rely too much on the tool itself in the process of using it.
For example, when many parents use literacy cards to teach their children to read, they only teach their children the words on the card itself. Children will recognize the word when they see a literacy card, but they will not recognize it when they put it on another object in their lives.
Because parents repeatedly use this card when teaching their children, so that children can cognitively equate this Chinese character with a card, it has caused the phenomenon of solidification of children's thinking.
2. Basic education of enlightenment education
Many parents often copy the routines of primary school students in the first and second grades when teaching their children to read. For example, after teaching children a word, let them practice pinyin and read and write immediately.
Before the child fully understood the meaning of the words, he began to write and draw blankly. This not only makes children's knowledge not fully absorbed, but also greatly reduces their interest in literacy.
be eager for success
Children in the early stage of literacy are often not mature enough to concentrate. It is normal that they learn today and forget tomorrow. Many parents always think that their children have learned it once this time, so don't forget it next time and always give them a "quiz".
Whether the child is eating snacks or playing, let the child say the relevant words. This will subtly make children resist literacy.
It is not difficult to see that these wrong demonstrations are all caused by parents' overly mechanized teaching methods and dogmatic parenting concepts. Therefore, parents should pay attention to ways and means when teaching their children to read.
Parents should pay attention to the following points when teaching their children to read.
Parents should understand that the ultimate goal of teaching children to read is to make their future life more convenient, not just to win other children at the starting line.
In life, we don't need to teach our children deliberately like teachers, but we should inadvertently convey the meaning and form of these words to our children, so that this behavior can become our family's daily life. Children naturally don't think that literacy is a boring thing.
Combined reading
Reading here does not mean reading literacy cards or literacy tools, but reading picture books related to literacy. Picture books usually add specific scenes and plots to help children deepen their impression of literacy. Through this entertaining way, children's interest in literacy will be greatly enhanced.
3. Restore the charm of the text itself
Most parents often like to translate words when communicating with their children about literacy. For example, the original text says "Little monkey is listless and walks alone by the river", and parents often like to translate it into "Little monkey is listless and walks alone by the river".
In the eyes of parents, such translation can make children easier to understand, but it is actually not conducive to children mastering the profound content of language and characters and understanding its unique charm. Parents should communicate with their children in the original text, and the children will ask questions and then translate and explain.
The best way for parents to teach their children to read is to moisten things quietly. Not limited to those rigid teaching methods, let children naturally master the content and application of words in their lives, thus cultivating children's interest in words and maintaining their enthusiasm for learning.
