The best age for children to read has the latest saying: 3-6 years old is the best age for children to learn Chinese characters. It is beneficial and harmless for children to read as early as possible and cultivate their interest in learning.
Physiologically speaking, the human brain develops fastest in childhood. At the age of three, the weight of children's brains is about 900- 1000 grams, which is about 2/3 of that of adults. At the age of seven, the weight1280g is about 9/ 10 of that of adults. The period when children's brains develop fastest is also a period when their memory is particularly strong. Psychologically speaking, children are the most active period of playing. Grasping this feature and letting children play with knowledge will make their learning enthusiasm particularly high. The most important result of literacy is not how many Chinese characters a child has mastered. What is important is that in the process of literacy, children's attention, observation, memory, imagination and thinking ability can be well developed.
1, look at the pictures and read books.
Combine the short stories with pictures as the main part, supplemented by words, and guide children to know the obvious words in the pictures and words, and guess the words according to the meaning of the pictures. Or, find some children's songs with simple words, clear pictures and children's lives to help children understand the relationship between pictures and words. Once children master this method, they can know more common words in reading with a little effort.
2. Use games to read.
Games are children's nature. As long as parents are willing to use their brains, they can teach their children to read at any time in the game. For example, children like to play with sand and stones. Parents can write the words sand and stone on small cards, bury them in the sand and let their children dig them out with a small shovel. When a child digs one for him to recognize, he can easily remember Chinese characters in excitement.
3. Teach children to read with children's stories.
Children like to listen to the same story over and over again, and parents can tell it word by word according to the content of the story book until the child can tell it word by word. Then, hold the child's hand, point to the words in the book and teach them repeatedly, so that the child can understand and pronounce each word, and guess the unknown words according to the stories already told.
4. Use Chinese building blocks to read.
Buy a box of Chinese character building blocks and let the children put them in various toys such as trains and small buildings. Moreover, parents can consciously disassemble the radicals of one Chinese character and recombine them with another to form some new Chinese characters. Children can learn many words by recognizing one word, and stimulate creative thinking and hands-on operation ability in the process of spelling.
5. read with jingle bells.
The jingle is characterized by short and clear language, rhyming sentences, catchy words, easy to read and remember, and suitable for children's language expression. In this way, children can easily and happily remember words with many strokes and abstract meanings. For example, the word "hot": the left hand hits the ball nine times, and four drops of sweat flow downwards.
6. Spelling and sentence reading and writing skills
Children's literacy is often the reproduction of memory. Reciting one word at a time reflects the recognition and reading of a single word, while memorizing words and sentences reflects words and sentences, which has the characteristics of overall memory. For example, children can watch the whole children's song as if they know every word, but they don't know when to extract a word for them to read. According to this feature, we can use the game of spelling children's songs to help children understand the relationship between spoken language and words, words and sentences, encourage children to creatively compose words and sentences, and spell out many common sentences. Such as "white-white-white clouds-white clouds like mountains".
In an ideal way, it needs to be realized correctly. To attract children to take the initiative to read, we should also follow some principles:
Progressive principle
At the beginning of learning, don't rush for success and blindly pursue literacy. It is necessary to cultivate literacy interest and habits as the main goal, and then gradually increase the amount of literacy so that children can enter the reading stage as soon as possible. Encouragement principle
Most children like to do things praised by others. Praise language will multiply their self-confidence and encourage them to study independently.
Game principle
For children, literacy is not so much mental work as a "memory game". As long as children are interested in methods, children will unconsciously complete literacy tasks.
Environmental principle
Create a suitable literacy environment, that is, non-book environment and book environment, so that children are often in the environment of Chinese characters. Literacy through nursery rhymes, making literacy cards, wall charts, reading children's stories, reading billboards in the streets and lanes, etc. Children are often exposed to Chinese characters repeatedly, and through the influence of the environment, children can increase their affinity for Chinese characters.
Diversity principle
There are no fixed scenes and patterns for children's literacy. Every parent can flexibly choose methods according to their own characteristics, cultivate their children's interest in literacy, closely combine literacy activities with game activities and family life, and strive to achieve the best results.
Review the principles in time
Children must review the words they have learned in time, otherwise it will be like a blind bear breaking corn, breaking one ear and losing another, and the words they have learned will not accumulate and grow. To this end, parents should often review the Chinese characters they have learned with their children, and when children get into the habit, they will naturally receive unexpected results.
