Simple reading skills have a positive effect on children's language ability, and can help children learn Mandarin correctly and express their thoughts and feelings clearly. If you want to study, you must first know Chinese characters. The research shows 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.
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.
Methods of teaching children to know Chinese characters;
1. Cultivate children's interest in Chinese characters and know a certain number of Chinese characters.
Interest is the biggest motivation for learning, so we should seize the opportunity of education, strive to stimulate children's interest in learning and let them actively participate in learning.
At present, there is no uniform standard for children to know how many Chinese characters are appropriate. The Chinese characters that children know are: nouns, verbs and adjectives that are common, commonly used and easy to understand in daily life; Common words in social environment, such as street, billboard, station, banner and so on.
2. Look at the pictures and read.
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. (Aiyue Baotuoyu Early Education Center)
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Read in Mandarin.
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.
7. 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.
How to teach children to know their own names?
Parents should be patient enough to teach their children to know their names. They can make each word of the child's name into a small card. Whenever parents want to call their children, they can guide them with cards. Children already know the pronunciation of their own names. Parents will show their children cards every time they read a word. Repeatedly, it won't be long before the children can know their names. Children's memory is much stronger than their parents' imagination.
Early childhood education is very important, but parents should not force their children to study blindly, but let them study in a relaxed and pleasant environment, so that they can learn knowledge without being tired of learning. After all, children can learn as much as they can, and it is most important to grow up happily and healthily in childhood.
