A 6-year-old girl in Beijing has the ability to "take ten lines with one eye", and is envied by her classmates and teachers. How did you acquire this skill? The mother said: "It's very simple. If you insist on doing this well before the age of 2, your child can do it too."
My sister who lives in Beijing recently told me something that she thought was particularly legendary, that is, my nephewâs class had a girl named Meixi who could read ten lines at a time.
This child was discovered by his teacher just a few days after entering first grade. She understands everything teacher
teaches very quickly, is very focused in learning, and can complete extracurricular reading independently. The key is "ten lines in one glance". Other children have just read two or three lines and she has finished reading a page. And you can remember it after reading it once. The memory is super good.
This shocked the children and the teacher. The teacher also said that he found a treasure and liked it very much.
Not only does the little guy have good grades in Chinese subjects, but his understanding of math problems and recitation of English are all a piece of cake for her. Possessing this ability allows Meixi to achieve twice the result with half the effort in learning any subject. Teacher
couldn't help but sigh. He had heard that "Chairman Mao had the ability to read ten lines with one glance", but he never thought that such an ordinary child could do it.
Because of her daughterâs excellence, Meixiâs mother was also invited to share her experience.
Only then did everyone realize that ordinary children can also have the ability of "one eye and ten lines", but most parents ignored it.
Meixiâs mother is engaged in childrenâs brain science research. He didn't think there was anything special about Meixi's ability to move with one eye and ten lines.
Because having this ability is easy. As long as parents grasp the critical period of their children's visual training and practice correctly, every child can do it.
Because of her career, Meixiâs mother is well aware of the important role of âvisual tracking abilityâ and âvisual breadthâ in childrenâs learning and life. Therefore, since Meixi was 2 months old, her mother has not stopped âvisualizingâ her daughter. train. And persisted for 4 years. The initial operation of
is very simple and can be achieved by using simple black and white cards.
You can see the little baby in the animation below. He is so small but can adjust his vision very well to track the target object in front of him. Are you surprised?
Parents who understand the characteristics of children's growth and development all know that a child's world is blurry before the age of 1, and only after the age of 1 can he clearly see the true appearance of the world. However, the period between 0 and 1 year old is very critical and cannot be ignored.
Some studies have shown that giving newborns rich visual stimulation can promote the formation of neuron synapses and early brain development.
According to the theory of infant and young child visual development, patterns with sharp outlines and strong contrast can provide the baby with initial and sufficient visual stimulation, strengthen his visual response, and improve his visual attention. This is what we call the very important black and white card exercise.
Good visual attention serves as the basis for children to see the world, and children can better enter the next stage of improvement.
This is why in early education centers we insist on doing visual tracking exercises for babies.
The stronger a child's "visual tracking" ability, the better his visual memory, and the better his concentration and memory.
Having good "visual tracking ability" does not allow children to see ten lines at a glance. "Visual breadth" is the key to "one eye and ten lines".
What is visual span?
It refers to the spatial range that the eyes can see when the eyes are focused, which can also be said to be the breadth of information received.
Training "visual span" can cultivate children's reading ability of "one eye and ten lines". Improve reading speed, visual memory and comprehension.
additionally. Children with insufficient visual breadth have insufficient ability to observe differences in the peripheral environment. As a result, they are prone to tripping or wrestling because they fail to notice obstacles or potholes on the ground.
So you will find that some children lose words, omit words, and string words when reading, or they like to fall and often bump into each other when walking. In , this may be a problem of visual tracking ability and visual breadth.
So, when do you start practicing visual tracking and visual span?
In fact, it can be started from the time the baby is 6 weeks old. At first, choosing black and white cards can meet the needs of children. At this time, they are particularly fond of patterns with strong contrast between black and white colors or shapes. Gradually, children's color vision matures, and we can replace black and white cards with colorful ones around 7-12 months old. At this time, the baby's visual tracking ability has reached a new standard through the accumulation of practice some time ago, and we can adjust the practice method.
The improvement of children's visual tracking ability and visual breadth is the result of long-term training. At first, maybe the baby can only track for 2 seconds, then 5 seconds, 30 seconds, etc.; the visual span also changes from the original 15-degree angle on the left side of the line of sight to the 15-degree angle on the right side, to a 30-degree angle left and right, and a 30-degree angle up and down, and then to a 45 degree angle and so on.
Many parents will say, we also bought black and white cards for our children! If your child doesnât like watching it and canât keep it up, heâll stop reading it after two days and throw away all the cards!
Yes, many families have this situation. Parents who persist are really great. Of course, your efforts and persistence will benefit your children for life.
So, how should the specific flash card exercises be done correctly so that children like it and make it effective?
Today, Teacher Tina, who is the instructor of the International Early Childhood Education Center, will share with you that those who have little babies at home must learn it seriously. You can like and save it to avoid finding it when you need it.
â First, choose a "visual training card" that children are interested in.
For example, our center has been using this "Baby Vision Training Game Book" which is better than ordinary single-page black and white cards.
It is divided into two volumes: [Black and White Games] and [Color Games]
The content meets the needs of children's visual development and cognitive needs. The
black and white card can recognize basic shapes; the
color card can enhance daily basic cognition; the design of
is different from ordinary single-page black and white cards, this one has a hollow design in the middle.
The hanging middle image can shake and make a small sound when shaking. Perfectly attracts baby's attention and serves as a great introduction to flash card practice.
⥠Choose a fixed time and insist on doing "flash card" exercises for your baby.
After 6 weeks, parents can insist on making visual training cards for their babies.
The earlier you practice flash cards, the better. Babies from 6 weeks to 8 months are in a supine or prone position. Three-dimensional and interesting flash cards can attract the baby's attention very well.
At this time, I began to insist on doing flash card exercises for my baby and formed a habit. When the baby gets older, he will continue to like this.
â˘The correct way to make flashcards should be like this.
Next, Tina uses an 8-month-old baby as an example to explain the specific flash card practice operations:
Choose a time when the baby is in a better mood and let the baby sit or lie down.
Place one page of the visual training book at arm's length in front of the baby's sight;
Make sure the baby's sight is fixed on the card. Parents hold the card with both hands and prepare to move slowly to the left side of the baby. Pay attention during the moving process. Whether the baby's vision can track the card you move. Of course, the length of the moving distance depends on the baby's ability, and then moves back to the center line at the same speed.
can now read the cognitive content on the card loudly and standardly, for example: "Apple". Then continue moving the same distance to the other side and back again.
Visual span also needs to be appropriately adjusted according to the different abilities of children. The baby's visual span flash card practice at this stage should not exceed an angle of 45 degrees.
Such exercises can effectively train children's visual tracking ability and right-brain photography function.Combining sound and flash card exercises is beneficial to strengthening the photo-taking function of the right brain. And then achieve the effect of "one eye and ten lines".
As the baby ages and his abilities improve, the flash card training method can change from the original simple left and right movement to up and down movement, clockwise movement, counterclockwise movement, figure eight movement, etc. The visual span can also gradually become wider and the angles larger and larger. Card content can also be turned into informative introductions, such as the English words in the picture below, to enhance children's language enlightenment.
Beginners still recommend this visual training card with simple cognition and interesting design.
The hollow hanging design here can not only improve the baby's concentration , but also improve children's finger fineness (touchable, graspable, ps. rounded corner design will not hurt the baby), space perception (Stretch your little hand over and look at it with your eyes), oral muscles (blow with your mouth, etc. to prepare for the baby's language development).
Vision is an important cognitive channel for human beings. About 80% of human cognition comes from vision . Children who often do visual tracking and breadth exercises can effectively avoid losing words, adding words, and changing words that appear in children's reading. Character and reading serial phenomenon. Effectively improve children's reading accuracy, speed and question review ability.
Children's education cannot be rushed for success. We cannot only see other children's achievements of "one eye and ten lines", but also the joint efforts of "parents and children" behind this.
This interesting and practical set of professional visual training books is recommended to parents who have babies aged 0-2 years old. I hope it can help you to achieve the best visual development of your baby and prepare for future life and study. What a foreshadowing! Click "Buy" below to get it!
