To answer this question, we must first look at the laws of children's language development.
Laws of language development:
Children around 1 and 4 years old can say sentences of about 8 words;
Children after the age of 2 or 5 can gradually use some complex sentences that contain juxtaposition and transition relationships.
So, what are the prerequisite skills a child has to say long, complex sentences? Let's elaborate on that.
First, sufficient comprehension ability
First of all, the child needs to have sufficient comprehension skills. Because understanding is the basis of expression.
And if you want to express a long and complex sentence, you must first have the ability to understand a long sentence, what ability is required?
1. Understand high-level vocabulary such as nouns, verbs, adjectives, prepositions, and pronouns;
2. Understand the complex multi-component sentence structure such as subject-predicate and guest;
3. In addition to the most commonly used declarative sentences, you can also understand more complex compound sentences such as question sentences, special question sentences, and imperative sentences.
Second, sufficient expression ability
Second, the child needs to have sufficient expression skills, as shown below.
1. Children can use (especially "say") a large number of vocabulary, including verbs, adjectives, prepositions, pronouns and other high-level words;
2. Can flexibly use the vocabulary library to express multi-element content;
**Elements refer to words with distinguishing meanings, such as "red riding hood" is the 2 elements of "red" and "hat", and "shooting the table on the left" is the 3 elements of "shooting", "left" and "table".
3. Complex sentences such as declarative sentences, question sentences and special question sentences can be used and expressed alone;
4. Compound sentences that are added to represent conjunction words such as juxtaposition and transition can be expressed.
3. Adequate lung capacity
Third, adequate lung capacity is the necessary physiological basis for saying long sentences, which also requires children to be able to control their breathing at a uniform speed rather than bursting out.
So how to judge the child's lack of breath, how long can it be said? There are 2 most commonly used methods, as follows:
1, the longest sound: let the child send a long /a/ tone, see how long the child's longest voice is?
2, the longest exhalation: let the child blow a thin facial tissue, see how many seconds the child can blow in one breath?
If the child's lung capacity is small, we need to give the child a long and uniform exhalation, there are 2 methods, as follows:
1. Parents can take their children to do some aerobic exercise, such as: swimming, running, frog jumping, mountain climbing, etc.;
2. Take your child to do some breathing games, such as: blowing paper balls, small balls, rolling dragons, etc.
In short, talking is the same as cooking, driving, playing basketball and other things in our lives, it is a step-by-step approach, and it takes a good foundation to finally present a result.
So parents and friends do not worry, how to lay a good foundation, we will present it to you in detail in the following content~
