The first step of enlightenment: give children a reason to be interested, play English with them, praise them in time and gain self-confidence;
The second step of enlightenment: establish an exclusive English time and English environment, even if it is fragmented, even in the Chinese context, we should try our best to make use of fragmented time to create an English environment at home. With a good environment, it is easier to stick to it;
The third step of enlightenment: help children make a phased enlightenment plan, such as what books to read, what songs to listen to, what cartoons to watch, what websites to visit and what games to play. ...
How do parents get started? We can start with listening, speaking, reading and watching, and talk about how to do it in the early stage of enlightenment and get started quickly.
1, listen to nursery rhymes, nursery rhymes books, and book audio.
We usually listen to English children's songs during ear grinding. You should screen the songs before playing, and you'd better get familiar with them in advance. We can perform nursery rhymes for children. During the performance, the expression can be stretched, sometimes through body movements. In this way, in the intimate atmosphere of parent-child interaction, children can easily become interested in English.
2. Speaking everyday conversations
By creating a family English environment and introducing situational English, we can find various situational English related to life applications from English picture books, original animations and English ballads. We should show them English picture books, listen to English songs and watch English cartoons regularly every day, and then bring these scenes to life to reproduce, so that children can use them vividly and deepen their impressions.
Step 3 read picture books
In the early days of enlightenment, when reading picture books to children with small vocabulary, we should pay attention to the fact that the number of words in each page of the picture book should not be too long. At the stage when children are just about to learn to speak, try not to interrupt when reading picture books to children, so that children can always maintain a state of input in the story. When reading picture books to children, we should recite and emphasize the image of language. Parents should set an example for their children and cultivate reading habits. Put books suitable for children to read in places where children can easily get them, so that children can read them anytime and anywhere.
Step 4 watch cartoons
Parents are advised to show animated videos to children over two years old. There are so many resources, choose what children like and meet the current English level. At the beginning, you can choose the video that matches the picture book, which usually takes about 5 minutes. Many life-oriented clips can be used by children after reading them, which is also the most effective way.
