The past two or three days have been the time for intensive examinations in the primary school sections of various districts in Beijing. As the first final exam after the double reduction, it naturally attracted the attention of all parents, and the "East and West Sea" papers in each parent group were also flying in the sky.
Everyone flipped through the long-lost volumes (this semester is really a little little seen), looked at large sections of reading materials, large and large pieces of dense words, for a moment there is a little bit of a sense of return...
(Want to see in advance what the exam papers of each subject after the double subtraction look like?) There is a picture in the back! ）
In any case, this semester is officially coming to an end. What's the matter?
It's time to prepare for the winter vacation!
Recently, the platforms on the winter vacation planning articles, videos, posts frequently out, the title of the "most cattle planning", "curve overtaking" "fast turnover" such words, those cow baby parents posted out the winter vacation plan is also "a family is stronger than a family", watching people's blood boiling, ambition, as if not to hurry to take advantage of the winter vacation to force the chicken baby, do not have to wait for the start of school, the winter vacation has not yet begun, their own baby has been thrown out of several streets.
But is this really the case?
I can't help but think of a vacation schedule for a fourth-grade baby that was rumored by the whole Internet last summer. This schedule can be described as a balance of various subjects, the time arrangement is close, the parents' ardent expectations jump on the paper, and sure enough, as soon as it is posted on the Internet, it quickly "goes out of the circle". Some netizens commented: "Does this child still have time to go to the toilet?" One sentence made it easy to break, and eventually became a joke of the holiday "schedule".
After all, the most important thing about winter vacation is to let the children really gain something. The task is too full, and there is no priority, the child can not carry out at all, even if it is executed, there is no practical effect, in the end it is just a harvest of resentment against the child!
Therefore, when the whole network is in the chicken winter vacation, Chang Dad wants to "cool down" for everyone, don't rush to copy what big V, cow baby family plan, first to recognize the two realities and then say.
Reality 1: The winter vacation is only valid for 3 weeks.
Suddenly saying that the monthly holiday seems to be quite long, but in fact, the finger is calculated, and only 3 weeks can actually be used for "serious things". The Spring Festival alone occupies a week, and adults still count down to their daily vacations, but they want to let their children stay and pretend to forget about the festival, is it possible?!
Reality 2: Children are on vacation, but adults don't take a vacation.
Many parents often fantasize that their children can learn at home actively, consciously and efficiently when we go to work - we are all from children, think with our toes, is it possible?!
Moreover, children who can really do it will not bother to use their parents to make plans, if the usual rhythm is good.
Therefore, pointing to a winter vacation to "fight a turnaround battle", I am afraid it is not so easy to achieve.
Of course, this does not mean that during the great winter vacation, parents and children should lie flat together. Planning is to be done, and the core is actually two words: "science".
Today, Chang Dad will tell you how to plan the winter vacation scientifically.
In fact, to put it bluntly, the winter vacation is not suitable for a large and complete study plan, if you want to, and want... The result is that nothing works well. The right approach is to adopt a "fire attack" strategy and concentrate on one thing. This main thing can be to check for leaks and fill in the gaps, it can be advanced and improved, and then it can be simply equipped with several auxiliary special projects.
Take Xiao Chang as an example, because I can't stand it anymore, so the main theme of his winter vacation is two words: practicing words. Taking advantage of the holidays to practice repeatedly, practicing every day, writing strokes in a regular manner, and correcting the stroke order is the biggest victory.
Speaking of this, it is estimated that some parents have asked, what is a specialty suitable for holiday specialization? Chang Dad especially summarized several projects suitable for "fire attack" with children during the winter vacation, and everyone can combine the child's situation and need to "take it in moderation".
These projects, both based on the present and the future, are not only conducive to the learning level of children in the primary school stage, but also very useful for subsequent middle and high school learning (belonging to the project of laying the foundation and improving the quality), let's talk about it in detail.
Read
Applicable grades: Grades 1-6
If you don't read during the holidays, do you want to read again when school starts?
Speaking of the importance of reading, everyone may have heard the ears have to cocoon, but the reason why Chang Dad has to emphasize it again is because the final exams of several districts have made Chang Dad realize that the importance of reading has been visibly improved by the naked eye!
Let's talk about the facts and see how "scary" the reading volume on the final exam papers in Beijing's districts is.
The following two are the reading questions of the third and sixth grades, if there is not enough reading to support it, can the examination room not be blindfolded?
(The third grade child is taking the final exam for the first time, and the amount of questions is really not small)
(This densely packed article in the sixth grade, so many words are just a reading question)
Don't think that this is just the reading questions, now the language test even the basic knowledge part will be integrated into the reading material. Let's take a look at how the vocabulary basics of the fourth grade fit into the hot spots.
Note that this is the basic knowledge part of the sixth grade, all combined with material reading, there are hot spots, there are events, this question type of question volume, a sharp look also thinks that this is to do reading comprehension?
This is the first grade chinese exam paper, Chang Dad found it together, you can browse it as a whole. Although children are only primary school students now, reading is not a one-time thing, and it is obviously not enough to just stare at the things in front of the eyes, we must take a long-term view and cultivate the abilities we need in the future from now on.
2 hours, full of 8 pages of A4 paper questions, not only to read the questions, to complete the questions, but also to write a 500-800 words of composition.
Do you think it's just language? Not really! Now reading has penetrated into various disciplines, and then look at the junior high school mathematics, geography, Taoist test papers, there are still shadows of "reading" everywhere, if you can't understand the meaning of the question, read the material, you can't take the exam!
After reading these exam papers, I don't know how everyone feels? Anti-normal dad is full of emotions, summed up in a sentence: do not read anything is not good to learn, this thing is true!! And it is not enough to read alone, reading less, reading narrowly, and reading not going deep.
There may be parents who think that they usually take half an hour before going to bed to let their children read books, is this enough? Of course, reading is better than not reading, but Chang Dad thinks that it is far from enough. For reading, this time is like "squeezing toothpaste", it belongs to fragmented reading, the reading experience is cut, children can't really immerse themselves and invest, often just read the book should sleep together, reading is not thorough and completely addictive.
With plenty of vacation time, with a large chunk of time, children can finally devote themselves to an immersive reading experience and enjoy the fun of reading!
For children in the lower grades, parents can also take the opportunity to pick up a few books and read with their children to help their children enter the stage of independent reading as soon as possible. For children in middle and senior grades, children can read widely, especially recommended with the hot combination of various magazines, in addition to the reading of famous books is best to start in the holidays, parents can play the role of "ladder", help children to help, cross the "high threshold" of the tome, take him to complete the entry of famous books.
Practice words
Applicable grades: Grades 1-3
The effect of concentrated word practice is good, and it can reach one semester a month
Why emphasize word practice during the winter vacation?
When I took a small time to practice words, I found such a problem: if I take out a few words and a few sentences for children to write seriously, they can also write like a decent, look like they have been "practiced". But the problem is that it can't last, write for a while longer and don't dry it, the mind is scattered, the pen is weak, the words written are soft and sloppy, and the words at the beginning are almost like two people...
I guess this is not a small case, but a common problem for many children. Therefore, practicing words must take a large period of time, insist on writing and insisting on practicing, so that the muscles of the small hands can produce memories, and the serious training can be carried out for a while to promote quantitative changes and qualitative changes.
The biggest advantage of the winter vacation is that there is a large continuous time, there is no interference of other matters, the child can concentrate and calm, insist on practicing words every day, and it is easy to produce results in a short period of time. Many teachers also suggest that even if you don't do anything else during the winter vacation, you should insist on practicing words every day, and one month of intensive practice can even withstand the practice effect of one semester.
Some mothers may ask: Why does this arrangement apply to grades 1-3, and don't seniors need to practice words? This problem, Chang Dad specifically talked about in the previous article, the best time to practice words is when you just start writing. From the beginning, write with the correct posture and strokes, get used to nature, and naturally don't have to worry about writing later.
Also, lower graders have more time, making it easier for them to focus their time and energy on doing it. On the contrary, if the child has been writing randomly to the senior grade, and then want to correct, it is estimated that it is not so easy, and the more senior the time is more intense, there are many loopholes larger than "writing" waiting to be filled to improve, it is estimated that it is not the turn to write, can only let this go on, it is a pity.
What are the precautions for children to practice words? Many parents will simply and rudely throw a copy of the note directly to their children. But in Chang Dad's view, stroke is the most basic structure of a word, its length, size, and placeholder are not correct, and how to write this word is not standardized. The second is the partial head, the structure of the interstitial frame, one is written well, which is equal to dozens of words in a word family. Therefore, when practicing words in the lower grades, we must pay attention to the practice of these parts and strokes.
Memorize words
Applicable grades: Grades 3-6
Use a good memory curve to easily master 1500 words
The requirements for children's vocabulary in the local middle school entrance examination are about 1500, but now many primary school students in the fifth and sixth grades in Beijing have reached it, in fact, even if it is not for the test, it is very important to master these most basic and commonly used core words in advance to improve all aspects of English ability.
Speaking of memorizing words, some parents are still addicted to letting their children memorize day by day, "5 a day, easy, one year is 1800, two years is not 3600, the proper university level ah." This account is quite clear, but let's not forget that people will forget.
According to the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve, 40% of the words will be forgotten after 20 minutes of memorization, 60% will be forgotten after 60 minutes, and after 1 day, only 20% will remain in the child's brain. Looking at it this way, the child forgets while carrying it on his back, and there is not much that can be remembered in a year, you say that scary is not scary?
So how can you memorize words efficiently?
From the perspective of brain science, various experimental results show that if there is a reasonable revision schedule, generally review 4-5 times at the corresponding time, the memory information can be permanently stored in the brain. Therefore, the matter of memorizing words can fully utilize the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve, and the effect of memorization is the best on the 2nd, 4th, 8th, and 15th days of memorizing words.
Speaking of which, everyone gets it, this efficient review, back-and-forth learning method, is most suitable for doing a special project to specifically overcome it during the holidays. Therefore, Chang Dad suggested that for children in the upper grades, English wants to further break through the bottleneck, or want to prepare for the next junior high school learning, do a good job in advance of the accumulation of English knowledge, you can choose to take this matter as the focus and specialty of this holiday.
Classical Chinese
Concentrate on overcoming and paving the way for the study of literature and literature
Speaking of the obstacles to language learning, many parents in senior grades, especially middle schools, think that it is not a literary language! The words are jerky, the language is difficult to understand, and a bunch of people are also uncomfortable, and adults can't read it smoothly, let alone children? Although it is a little difficult, it is still very important, the middle and upper grades of primary school are an important part of the Language teaching materials, and the proportion of Chinese and Chinese in the middle and high schools has increased greatly, so it is difficult to overcome!
This is the language examination paper of the first grade of a district in Beijing, selected from "Huainanzi. An ancient passage of the "Human Training" is a pure extracurricular examination:
In Chang Dad's view, the difficulty of such a language is like a "fortress", the general firepower can not take it at all, and it is necessary to take out a large period of time such as the holiday to attack in order to let the child truly understand it, approach it, and like it.
Children learn chinese and chinese in a similar way to learning a foreign language:
The first step is to listen more, first mix a familiar ear, listen first, the child is not rejected next;
The second step is to read carefully, have a foundation for listening, take the child to read word by word, it doesn't matter if you are not skilled at the beginning, pay attention to repetition, until you are proficient in recitation;
The third step is interpretation, on the basis of skillful recitation, with the help of interpretation and interpretation to the child to expand and explain, the child can understand the meaning on the basis of more profound memory;
The fourth step is application, which is a little difficult for children, but when we encounter the right scenes in life, we can talk to children, discuss and discuss, and let what they learn "live".
In the choice of ancient Chinese content, it is also necessary for parents to identify more, you can start with the children's familiar fables, myths and legends, ancient character stories, such as "Shou Zhu Waiting for Rabbits", "Pangu Open Heaven and Earth", "Sima Guang Broken Urn Rescue Friends", etc., these stories, children have read the vernacular, and then read the small ancient text, easier to understand, but also more able to feel the elegance and subtlety of the Chinese language.
writing
Accumulate composition materials and stimulate learning motivation
Writing, like reading, requires long-term accumulation. Many children have difficulty writing things, a few sentences to hold for most of the day, the article is as plain as water, empty, in the exam time to write the composition is difficult, not to mention can write a brilliant, reflect the sense of truth.
(Beijing Xicheng Grade 5 Homework Requirements)
As the saying goes, it is difficult for a woman to cook without rice, if the child's usual accumulation is not enough, how can he write an excellent essay in a short period of time in the examination room? The accumulation of a large number of study materials and golden sentences is an important part of children's good composition, which is much more useful than some so-called writing methods and routines.
Winter vacation is the best opportunity for children to sort out some famous quotes, idioms, and aphorisms, draw writing materials and inspiration from them, and get inspiration and inspiration from celebrities' lives. Moreover, the famous sayings and aphorisms themselves are also an important part of the basic knowledge of the language, such as the following fourth-grade language test questions in Xicheng District, which are specially used to examine the use of famous sayings and aphorisms.
Where do these study materials come from? First of all, there is a part of each unit of the language book "language garden", which can also be accumulated in reading, and there are also special courses to help children understand and sort out. If these are just a read, a look, the child had an impression at the time, the past may forget, take advantage of the holiday, may wish to prepare an accumulation of books, comb through again, the child can also understand more thoroughly, use more freely.
The above is the "fire onslaught" practical version of the winter vacation strategy advocated by Chang Dad, and then to sum up - no matter how many grades children read, reading is the most suitable for the holiday to be intensively conquered; the large block of winter vacation time is also an excellent period for practicing writing, and you can accumulate more writing materials and broaden your thinking from famous sayings and aphorisms.
In addition, for children in the lower grades, Chang Dad is most recommended to seize the holiday to practice words and lay a good foundation for writing a good Hand of Chinese characters in the future; while children in the middle and upper grades can concentrate on memorizing words, conquering small ancient texts, or doing some accumulation in literary common sense.
See here, think about which door for the child to choose to re-click broken? Maybe another mother said, Chang Dad mentioned these items, our children need, can we do it together during the holidays? Don't, this is a violation of the special principle of "concentrating on one thing"!
As the old saying goes, greedy chewing is not rotten, in addition to reading, Chang Dad suggested that it is enough to choose another one according to the child's situation, as long as you can do these well, it is a successful and meaningful winter vacation!
