Many mothers are at a loss about the baby's literacy method. Why is it always so difficult for babies to read? Obviously, I made great efforts to teach Chinese characters, and the next day I used Chinese characters to test my baby, but I was already confused. Does the baby have slow mental development and low memory? Of course not! The intellectual development of a baby before the age of three is equivalent to 70% of that of an adult. Mothers should not mistakenly think that it is normal for a baby to be young and not remember Chinese characters, or look for reasons from themselves. Is it because the literacy method you choose is too traditional and old-fashioned The best age for literacy is considered to be a concern of every family. Physiologically speaking, childhood is the period when the brain develops fastest and the memory is particularly strong. Some teaching research and practice have proved that 3 years old is the peak of natural memory ability and overall pattern recognition ability, and children can naturally contact and know Chinese characters like other things; Children aged 4-5 can generally learn to read, and the literacy speed is not slower than that of children aged 6-7. The study also shows that children over 5 years old can learn most strokes of Chinese characters, and can use strokes to analyze glyphs and write. Some experts also believe that when children have the ability of pattern recognition, they can be taught to read from the beginning. In other words, literacy education can start at the age of 1 year. The best time to teach literacy When children have literacy needs, parents should try their best to meet them. The children are curious. He saw these words in the environment and wanted to know what they meant. At this time, he needs to know these words. When children have their own needs, they feel comfortable and learn better. Therefore, parents must seize the opportunity and "take the opportunity to teach" when their children want to study. How to teach children to read 1) Creating a literate environment for children is the first important thing for children to read. In our life, we are exposed to a lot of words every day: advertising words on TV, colorful words on food packaging bags, shop signs of fast food restaurants and roadside signs, all of which constitute a ready-made and good environment for children to read. Parents can let their children learn anything they can see, such as "cars" (cars, trains, trucks, police cars, etc. When they see cars coming and going; Learn about trees when you see them (poplars, willows, pines, big trees …). On the one hand, we can make use of the environmental effects of these Chinese characters and deepen our understanding of Chinese characters through immersive experience; On the one hand, it can also cultivate children's good habits of observing and asking questions. In addition, parents can also create an environment suitable for children to read, such as sticking paper written in Chinese on refrigerators and televisions, and pinyin such as "refrigerator" and "TV". These conscious actions will give children a literal understanding of what they come into contact with every day, thus deepening their impressions. 2) Use picture storybooks to teach children to read, and don't miss every opportunity to read storybooks and picture books to children. Mother can read to the baby while lighting the lamp; You can also tell children stories in pictures and books, show them word cards, and let them remember Chinese characters while understanding stories. Sometimes, you can also adopt the method of endorsing first and then recognizing words. Tell your child the story he likes to listen to repeatedly until the baby can repeat it independently. At this time, we read together, sit in the right position and find the font corresponding to the pronunciation. It should be noted that: you must point to the words in the order of the words, and your eyes must look at the words. At this time, your child's attention must be concentrated. When children have a certain amount of literacy, parents can also use the method of raising words. For example, when the story book talks about calves, take out the "cows" and ask the baby what cows eat. The baby said, "Eat grass!" Then let the baby know the word "grass". 3) Literacy cards are very important. Interested parents can make many illustrated literacy cards themselves, or collect some pictures to teach their children to read. In daily life, children are taught to know Chinese characters from time to time through cards and games. It is easy for children to learn, easy for parents to teach, and more importantly, it can deepen their impression of Chinese characters. 4) "Action" method Parents can let their children know words by doing actions. When parents dress their children, they can take out a card with the word "wear" written on it, and then do the action of "wear", so that the children can also do the action of "wear" to achieve the effect of letting them use their hands and brains. 5) Children's songs and poems with catchy Chinese characters are easy to understand and easily accepted by children. Parents can teach their children to read nursery rhymes first, let them recite their favorite nursery rhymes, and then slowly teach them the Chinese characters in nursery rhymes one by one. 6) "Find a friend" method This is a method of recognizing characters by recognizing characters, which is suitable for children who already know many Chinese characters. If children know the "green" of "grass" and meet the "clear" of "clear water", they may be able to read it easily. On this basis, it is easier for parents to let him know what "Qing" means and where it is used.
