Does children actually know literacy before school age?
Think these questions can children overtake on the curve
In life, we often hear people say "do what age should be done", and the same is true for growing children. If parents are too furious to grow up, then for children, not only will they not grow up as the parents wish, but may also have a counter-effect and ruin the growth of their children. For example, many parents learn knowledge for their children "primary school" at the age of kindergarten. For children, they will not only deprive their children of childhood happiness, but also make them disgusted with learning. Parents must be vigilant. So does it mean that kindergartens don’t need to teach children anything? What if you want to teach what issues you need to pay attention to? Let’s discuss it together below, and hope it will be helpful to all parents.
My sister's child just went to elementary school this year. During this summer vacation, my sister was very anxious and worried that my nephew would not be able to keep up when he was in the first grade. It would be very difficult to study at that time, because when he was in kindergarten, my sister never formally taught her children to learn any knowledge in advance. In addition, some people who have experienced it around me also told my sister that it was really a disadvantage to enter the school with "0 basics", so my sister was really anxious at the time.
So in order to help the child better adapt to the growth of childhood, the sister made up for the child's knowledge throughout the summer vacation and asked the child to learn to write. As a result, the little nephew not only did not lay the foundation for learning in advance as he wished, but became very rebellious about learning. It has not only started two months since school started. I heard from my sister that other children do their homework without parents' supervision, but it is difficult for the little nephew to write his own name. What makes my sister even more troubled is that my nephew hates studying very much. The more severe my sister treats him, the more broken the child is, and she doesn’t listen carefully in class, and she is slow to do homework after class. Every day, the mother and son are in a mess because of learning problems. My angry sister complained to me every day, "I really don't know what evil you sister did in my previous life."
Later, when my father found out, he criticized my sister and said, "I told you before that the country does not allow kindergartens to "advanced education", which does not mean that children can play every day. You must distinguish what "advanced education" is and what is reasonable to lay a good foundation for children. Who told you not to listen to me at that time, and you know how to let your children play every day. You are anxious now, and you are forced to your children in various ways. Can the children be happy? What evil did you do in your previous life? I think it was the tragedy that the child met a mother like you."
sister is naturally very dissatisfied, but the facts are in front of her, and she doesn't know how to refute her father, so she finally had to surrender and say, "The old man, what should I do now? I can't ignore your nephew's appearance." So the father told her sister earnestly, "You care about your child's grades, but you can't just look at the child's grades. The grades are temporary, but the child's growth is forever. You can't look at the problem too superficially, you have to see clearly Why don’t the child want to learn, why can’t he learn? Only when you figure this out can you really help the child, only when the child learns happily, and you can rest assured.
so the sister asked the father to help analyze the child’s problem, and the father pointed out incisively that the main problem of the child is that the foundation is poor, especially the literacy area, which has too little literacy, so the key is to improve the child’s literacy, but for the child’s literacy problem at this age , It's not like you that you force your children to write and memorize rote every day. You have to consider these issues:
Recognizes that preschool literacy is a transition period from kindergarten to primary school
For children, whether it is the surrounding environment, interpersonal communication, or learning transformation from kindergarten to primary school, it is very big. Therefore, parents must pay attention to the transition period from kindergarten to primary school in advance, especially for kindergarten. In the kindergarten class, we should help children develop their learning habits and attitude towards learning in advance. In addition, we should also help children learn to read in advance, because this period is the child's literacy sensitive period . On the one hand, children learn to read in this period, both in memory and comprehension, which is very suitable for children to learn to read well. On the other hand, literacy in advance can also help children better lay a solid foundation for going to primary school in the future, so that they can better adapt to the learning intensity and learning environment of primary school in the future. It's very helpful to children.
Therefore, to let children learn to read, parents must first correctly realize that preschool literacy is a transition period for children to get to junior high school, and it is very necessary. We cannot just let children play and indulge them. We must actively grasp the sensitive period of literacy for children aged 3-6, and never miss it.
Recognizes the impact of insufficient literacy on children's grades in various subjects
Preschool literacy must achieve a certain amount of literacy. Parents must also fully realize that many parents do not have enough knowledge of this, so they usually teach their children to know some new words casually, and think that their children are enough. But they only realize that after going to elementary school, they find that this literacy is not enough, and it will also affect the children's grades in various subjects, and then affect their children's self-confidence in learning.
For example, if a child learns mathematics, if he does not have enough literacy, then when doing the questions, especially the application questions, it is easy to not understand the meaning of the questions, or understand them incorrectly, which will eventually lead to poor academic performance in the child. Therefore, parents must also pay attention to this.
Recognizes the importance of literacy methods
Many parents will complain that it is too difficult to let children learn to read, and it is too boring to read. Indeed, if the literacy method is wrong, then for the fun and active children, they will naturally feel that they are not interested and will be very difficult to learn. Therefore, as parents, we must recognize the importance of knowledge and methods. It is best to teach children to learn to read in a fun way. Let the children learn while playing.
my dad bought this card game for my nephew "Score Dragon + Magic Chinese Character Combination". This card game is a good combination of allowing children to learn to read and play games. By allowing children to unknowingly increase their literacy and idiom vocabulary while playing card games. Very suitable for children aged 3-10.
And during the game of playing cards, children can not only learn to read easily, but also continuously improve their reaction ability, concentration, memory, judgment, observation, logical reasoning ability, etc. It can make the child's hands, eyes and brain more coordinated, thereby promoting the child's intellectual development.
After having this card game, my sister never complained about the child again, and the relationship between mother and son became much more harmonious. The most important thing is that the little nephew quickly completed the counterattack and fell in love with learning again. The effect is really great. So if you have children of appropriate age in your family, you can quickly place an order. See you next time.
