Many parents are confused. The children are obviously very hard-working in their studies and are very smart, but why can’t they get better grades?
Each student’s classroom time is the same, but in these 45 minutes, the students’ listening efficiency and different degree of absorption of classroom knowledge have a lot to do with the final results.
When it comes to listening efficiency, we have to mention the child's "hearing breadth" .
What is auditory breadth
auditory breadth, refers to the range of sentences or bytes that a person can receive when he is memorizing in an instant while he is focused and remembers. In learning, it is manifested as the length of auditory information that children can collect using their hearing.
For example, when a teacher says a 20-word long sentence, children with good auditory breadth can collect relatively complete information, which can listen thoroughly, clearly and understandably; while children with poor auditory breadth can only hear a part of it. When some students see that they often ask the students next to them what the teacher said just now.
auditory breadth is the basis of auditory attention.
manifestations of insufficient auditory breadth
- The teacher says faster and can't remember anything;
- If the sentence is long, it is unclear what the teacher said;
- If the sentence is long, it is not clear what the teacher said; 2
- when taking notes;
- The teacher’s questions often miss the second half of the sentence, and answers the question inappropriately;
- verbally assigned homework by the teacher is always missed or misremembered;
- cannot be retelled completely after listening to the story.
Poor auditory breadth not only affects the attention in class, but also affects auditory discrimination and auditory memory to a certain extent, and thus affects grades.
So, how should parents train their children's hearing breadth in their daily lives?
How to improve hearing breadth
1
multiple question and answer methods
In daily life, you can communicate with your children more in the form of questions and answers. When communicating with your children, you can ask questions in simple and easy-to-understand words, ask more questions, ask more questions, and ask more questions, and ask more questions, and plan to do them. When the child answers a question, guide the child to say the sentence in full. If it doesn’t work once, twice until the statement goes smoothly.

Listen to the story and find words
Read a story that matches the age of a child, such as the story of "Big Red Dog Skiing", so that the child can count how many times the word "Big Red Dog" appears when listening to the story. In addition, after reading the story, let the child repeat the general content.

Read aloud
Read aloud
Read aloud can not only promote auditory development, but also children need to use multiple dimensions of the mouth, ears and brain when reading aloud, which can better help children remember and understand, and is conducive to cultivating children's concentration. If the child is still young, parents can play the recording for the child to listen to and let the child read it after listening.
