The other day, I was chatting with my girlfriend, she said: "My son is on vacation again, such a long vacation, just want to watch TV at home, and it is not good to always take him out to play, I plan to teach him to read, but also grind his restless nature." 」 Do you think it works? ”
I said, "Of course that's good, Xiao Bao is almost 5 years old now, and it's a good time to read." ”
Children aged 3 to 6 are in the kindergarten learning stage, and some children at this stage have known thousands of Chinese characters, and there is no obstacle to independent reading picture books. Some parents feel that children in the kindergarten stage should cultivate good learning habits, and let their children learn Chinese characters in advance, which is equivalent to pulling seedlings to promote growth, but it is not conducive to the healthy growth of children's physical and mental health.
Now there are many different educational methods on the Internet, so when parents educate their children, they are not anxious, they are contradictory. However, I can now tell you that the kindergarten stage can teach children to read, which is not inconsistent with preventing the primary schooling of kindergartens.
3 to 6 years old is the best time for young children to read
Montessori believes that before the age of 4, it is a critical period for the visual development of children's images.
The difference between Chinese characters and other characters is that they appear in front of children in a more figurative pattern. Moreover, the shapes, sounds, and meanings of Chinese characters are very closely related. By observing the shape of Chinese characters, understanding the meaning of Chinese characters, and remembering the pronunciation of Chinese characters, children are good for the development of vision, imagination and memory, and can also play a good role in children's thinking ability.
At this stage, children analyze and remember Chinese characters as a figure, in fact, they use their right brain to think and judge. When the child enters the primary school stage, memorizing and memorizing the learning content belongs to the left brain thinking. Therefore, teaching children to read in advance is conducive to developing the child's right brain and making the child more and more intelligent.
3 to 6 years old is a good time for children to read, kindergarten children literacy, not only will not solidify the child's imagination, but also will have many benefits.
Literacy can promote the development of children's language expression ability, help and promote children to form good reading habits, and at the same time develop children's intelligence. The process of literacy is also a process of discovering a child's thinking ability, the child's eyes are observing, the mouth is expressing, and the brain is constantly analyzing, remembering, and judging, so the more children read, the smarter they appear.
However, 3 to 6 years old children literacy, parents must not carry out "cramming" teaching, teach children to read is best careful, we can do this, let children read with half the effort.
In life, teach children to read.
We have a lot of Chinese characters in our lives, on the food packaging boxes that children eat, on the toys that children play with, on the giant advertisements on the streets, on the clothing of children and adults, so it is a very good way to teach children to read and write in life situations.
When children are interested in the things around them, the enthusiasm for literacy will also be mobilized, and their memory and comprehension ability are relatively strong. Moreover, literacy in life is conducive to children's use of learned Chinese characters in life.
Use literacy cards to help your child become literate.
When a child's literacy is combined with physical objects, the memory will be more profound. Literacy cards are the most common literacy tool, we can use literacy cards and children to play some literacy games like "picking apples" to stimulate children's interest in learning.
Use reading time to help your child read together.
I have always believed that parent-child reading time is a good opportunity to teach children literacy, so I have always recommended it to friends around me. When reading picture books, children follow their parents into the storyline, while recognizing simple words, they can also use the words they already know to drive the understanding of unfamiliar words, and the effect is very good.
My friend also often teaches children to read and write when they read and draw with their children, and their literacy has increased by leaps and bounds. Later, she said that she was also very upset, because she traveled on business, and she interrupted the parent-child reading that she insisted on every day.
