A friend of mine chatted with me a few days ago, and it happened to talk about the child's learning problems. As a result, the mother of the treasure immediately found a vent and began to complain to me about her homework.
"Don’t you know, my son is too slow to do his homework. He is just in the third grade, but he has to get his homework until ninety o’clock every night. The math is okay. The most worrying thing is Chinese. Especially when writing essays, the words are ugly, but the writing is simply a running account!"
"Not only that, but also a lot of typos. He didn't understand what the Chinese text teacher said, and he didn't take the initiative to learn. Thinking, I really can’t figure out how my dad and I could give birth to such a stupid child? I really want to slap him.”
My friend is six or seven years older than me, a proper 985 college graduate student After graduation, her husband and he are classmates, both of whom are highly educated, but they did not expect that their child has just entered the third grade, and they have already put so much pressure on their studies.
Afterwards, I carefully considered the problem of my friend's complaint, and combined with the examples around me, I found that this situation actually exists in many families. This is related to the level of education of parents It doesn’t matter whether the child is smart or not.
The main reason is that the child’s comprehension is a problem. They may respond quickly to math problems and are more sensitive to numbers. This shows that the child’s IQ is okay, but that’s not the case in Chinese. Understanding ability does not depend on IQ.
What is the reason why children’s understanding ability is worse than other children?
In order to solve the problem, we must first find the root cause of the problem, and find the root cause of the child’s poor comprehension ability. Only then can we find the root cause of the problem, and then we can solve the problem in a targeted manner.
After a period of summary analysis, I analyzed and surveyed the people around my friends, colleagues, relatives, etc., and summarized three main reasons for the poor understanding of children.
1) Did not lay a solid foundation in the early grades
Many children are only in the third and fourth grades and gradually show their poor comprehension and writing skills The root of the situation that came out was that the lower grades hadn't done well.
In the first and second grades, many knowledge points are very basic, and pinyin is relatively simple. seems that every child can learn by learning, does not need to spend a lot of time and energy at all, but it is also positive Because of this, a lot of knowledge is ignored by the children.
This is a very dangerous phenomenon, and many children and parents will become confused.
When they first started elementary school, parents felt that their children needed to adapt, so at this time, they would not care too much about their grades. Even if their children’s grades are good or bad, parents don’t take it seriously. Many parents think of things in lower grades. It's all simple, and the child will be able to do it when he grows up.
As everyone knows, sometimes it's the words and pinyin of the lower grades that the children didn't learn well, and the parents didn't care. accumulated to the upper grades and the problem broke out.
Compared with other children, these children have a big gap in the basic recognition and reading comprehension of , the overall result will be very good. difference.
The low grade is the critical moment to lay the foundation. If the foundation is not well laid at this time, as the grade rises later, all kinds of bricks and tiles will overwhelm the foundation, resulting in poor performance of the child.
Especially Chinese, which is the most easily overlooked subject, is actually the foundation of many subjects. The ability to understand Chinese is poor, and many subjects will be affected.
2) The lower grades did not develop good study and living habits
Tao Xingzhi once said: thought determines action,Actions form habits, habits form quality, and quality determines fate.
A good habit is enough to change a person's destiny.
When a child just enters elementary school, he will be full of curiosity about all knowledge, and his thirst for knowledge is also at its peak. This is also the best time to educate children. In addition to helping children learn knowledge by , parents should also cultivate their good daily habits .
If parents can seize the opportunity to cultivate a good life and study habits for their children, then their children's future learning career will become easier and easier, and parents will be more and more relieved in the middle and upper grades.
3) "Burden reduction" has made many parents careless
I had the slogan "burden reduction" when I was a child. Today, the situation of "burden reduction" in primary schools is indeed "visible". Don’t leave too much homework, don’t buy exercise books, let the kids play well during the holidays, etc.
As a result, many parents have misunderstood the "burden reduction". began to "indulge" the child very much, and even often ignored , thinking that the child would naturally study well in the upper grades. It is this stage that makes children lose a lot of learning opportunities.
Many children have not developed a good understanding ability, is also that was pulled down at this stage.
If you want to improve your children's language comprehension ability, you must start from the most basic knowledge points. At the same time, you can also cultivate children's interest in language learning through various ways. For example, choose some interesting extracurricular reading materials and teaching supplementary books for children.
The following set of "Fun Chinese" is a very good choice. The book uses vivid language and exquisite illustrations to introduce children to various language knowledge in a simple and easy-to-understand manner, as well as interesting anecdotes of literati.
allows children to learn Chinese characters, understand the culture and learn simple writing skills during the reading process. The more important thing is to edit the content of this series of books to mark children’s language textbooks, you can refer to , Read Chinese stories that cannot be learned in Chinese books.
In addition, in addition to allowing children to exercise reading comprehension through reading and gradually become interested in language, teaching children to write writing is also a good way to improve children's language performance.
Of course, for many parents, children who can’t write essays are also their biggest headaches.
Parents can train their children by teaching their children to write diaries. The requirements are not too high. At first, let the children write one or two sentences to record their life every day. At the same time, parents can consciously help their children improve their writing skills.
Here I recommend this set of "Good Words, Good Sentences and Good Sections for Primary Schools", this set of 7 volumes is a complete set, focusing on elementary school students' one paragraph composition, diary start, 200 word composition start And so on, it is very suitable for children in lower grades to use as a supplementary book for writing foundation.
This series of books is edited by a number of first-line teachers. The content is easy to understand, concise and clear. Through simple but accurate writing guidance, students can understand the key to the problem at a glance. It is a very practical set to teach children to start writing through inferences. Writing series.
This is a set of "compositions that children can write as soon as they read them". It is targeted to prescribe the right medicine to fundamentally solve the problem of children's writing "nothing to say". Problems such as "language emptiness" and "composition running account".
In addition to the help of teaching aids, lay the foundation of the child is also the most important thing. Here is the most dumb but also the best way to make children copy books and copy new words .
"A good memory is not as good as a bad pen" is the reason
This is how my niece came here. When I was just in the first grade the year before, I couldn't remember the pinyin. , Word recognition became even more problematic, so her mother asked her to copy two pages of pinyin every day after finishing her homework. After a while, the pinyin will naturally be remembered. After
, under the arrangement of his mother, she also copied a few more pages of new characters and pinyin every day on weekends and holidays. After the second grade last year, her literacy was significantly higher than other children. , not only did my grades catch up, but also surpassed many students.
Later her mother also chose some writing guidance books for her. Due to more literacy and deliberate training, the child's composition ability has also improved rapidly in a short period of time. has more literacy and can write essays. Naturally, reading comprehension has also been greatly improved.
Thanks to this, the niece is now very comfortable in all subjects. It is much easier than before, and the child is much more cheerful.
