On Wednesday, I was with Mr. Xu, the executive editor of "Little Sheep on the Mountain", and I said to me - "Learning Chinese can be very happy"
She was also particularly touched by her message to our readers at the time, saying that a story with vitality, including pictures and texts, will be nourished after our children read it.
That is, to use our vitality to nourish the young minds of children, and then to benefit them from the good books they read in childhood. This is a logical closed loop.
I'm also really happy that we finally have a set of "Oxford Trees for Chinese Learning" grading books!
"Little Sheep on the Mountain" not only recognizes words, but also takes the baby to expand her horizons and cultivate her thinking!
Today's article is to share and answer questions, families who have started this set of books, how to use this set of books.
Scratch the point! We must use the "Parent User Guide" summarized by Sun Bei, the editor-in-chief of "Little Sheep on the Mountain":
Step 1: Parents first understand each book and turn it through
Parents should have an understanding of all the information of "The Lamb on the Mountain". First of all, please look through the books and flip through the attachments such as posters, award certificates, stickers and so on.
Secondly, scan the code mini program in the lower left corner of the cover of the first book of each level of lamb, and watch the "editor-in-chief video guidance class" and "editor-in-chief Q&A open class" in order to fully understand the grading concept, special functions, creative features and other important content of "Lamb on the Mountain".
Here is also a reminder to everyone, because "Little Sheep on the Mountain" is currently selling very hot, and there are many pirated copies on the market. Only genuine books have anti-counterfeiting unlock QR codes, in order to obtain a large number of intensive reading learning resources in the Mini Program, so no matter which platform you enter, it is important to see if there is an anti-counterfeiting code.
Be sure to use the online resources supporting the lamb, which are free and rich. That's why I say that this set of books is cost-effective, because these free resources are priceless.
Step 2: Create a sense of ritual before reading
When parents give books to their children, they must first declare that this set of books is very special and arouses their children's interest:
"Today, my mother brought you a set of particularly magical books: this set of books has very few words, and you can understand it yourself without your mother reading it!"
Step 3: According to your child's situation, choose a suitable reading method and start reading
"The Lamb on the Mountain" is the starting book for children to move from parent-child reading to independent reading, so its reading method will also reflect the diversity unique to the excessive transition stage, and sometimes even a mixed form of parent-child reading and independent reading.
The reading method of "The Lamb on the Mountain" includes cooperative reading, guided reading and independent reading, and sometimes it can be a mixture of three forms.
Cooperative reading is when parents and children read together;
Guided reading is when children read under the guidance and help of parents;
Independent reading is the child's own reading, without the help of parents, or only needs the occasional help from parents.
After getting the book, parents first look through the content to understand the difficulty of the book. After each book, the Chinese characters used in this book are listed, and parents can refer to it.
Parents decide which reading method to adopt based on the difficulty of the book and the matching degree of the child's reading ability.
The following three methods are introduced, parents are asked to choose one at their discretion, or the three methods can be used alternately, or they can start with cooperative reading and gradually transition to independent reading.
Type 1: Cooperative reading
1. If your child has no desire to read independently, or if there are too many words in the book, please use this method.
2. Reading should be carried out in a pleasant atmosphere and voluntarily.
3. Ask your child to choose a book, and then the parent sits down with the child and starts reading.
4. Parents read stories in a colorful way, try to attract children, and let children devote themselves to it.
5. Parents ask interesting questions according to the plot, let the children answer, and strengthen the child's sense of participation.
6. When parents read stories, they can teach some useful Chinese characters to their children by the way, and it is best to choose words or words that appear repeatedly many times, so that children can remember them quickly.
7. Let the child explain some plots and pictures that he can understand.
8. Have your child read words or sentences he recognizes.
9. After reading the story, parents and children discuss the content of the story with great interest, look back at interesting fragments, repeat playful words and sentences aloud, and imitate the characters in the story with laughter.
10. Complete the book-after mini-game together.
Type 2: Guided reading
1. If your child has the desire to read independently, but cannot do it because of the small amount of literacy, please use this method.
3. Ask your child to choose a book, take it and start reading it, with parents sitting next to it, ready to help.
4. Let the child read first, encounter words that do not know the child to first encourage the child to guess, guess the parent to read, the child knows to continue to read by the child.
(Note: Parents should try to integrate and coherent the word or sentence they read out, and try to avoid blunt interruptions or too long pauses.) ）
5. After reading the story, parents and children discuss the content of the story with great interest, review interesting fragments, repeat playful words and phrases aloud, and imitate the characters in the story with laughter.
6. Complete the book-after mini-game together.
Type 3: Independent reading
1. If your child has the desire to read independently and most of the words in the book are known, please use this method. 2. Reading should be carried out in a pleasant atmosphere and voluntarily. 3. Ask your child to choose a book and start reading it by himself, so that parents can do their own thing nearby and be ready to help.
When reading independently, the child reads it by himself
4. Let your child read it on their own. Tell the child: when you encounter words that you don't know, guess first, and if you can't guess, as long as it doesn't affect the understanding of the main plot, jump over.
5. Parents should tell their children: If there is a word that they do not know always appear, they should ask the parents, and the parents will tell the child how to read and mean the word.
6. After reading the story, parents and children discuss the content of the story with great interest, look back at interesting fragments, repeat playful words and phrases aloud, and imitate the characters in the story with laughter.
7. Complete the book-after mini-game together.
Step 4: Timely feedback from parents (praise, discussion)
After the child has finished reading, the feedback from the parents is very critical. Therefore, parents are asked to try to do the following:
Praise the child's abilities
The first thing to do is to praise him with something like: "Great! Baby can read a book on his own! ”
Understand the reading effect through short discussions and strengthen your interest in reading
Hit the iron while it's hot, spend a few minutes, show curiosity about the book your child has just finished reading, and ask the child what the book is about. While the child is talking, the parent should respond at the same time, and it is best to hold the book.
Parents should find out some wonderful details in the book and then praise it highly, so that the child can be confident that he has read a great book, and strengthen his reading interest, sense of achievement and self-confidence.
If the parent just listens, or even bothers to open the book, the child will think that the parent is just perfunctory.
Make up new words during the discussion
During the discussion, ask the child if there are any words that he does not recognize, and if so, parents simply tell the child the pronunciation and meaning of the words, so that the children can deepen their impression of the new words.
Fun exercises after the book Parents can accompany their children to do it
After reading the story, you can read the word list with the child, and every time you know a word, you will make a correct check mark and give the child a total score.
Through this way to give the child a very timely feedback, the child can also know how many words they have mastered, there will be a sense of accomplishment.
Accompany your child to do practice questions and give positive feedback in a timely manner.
Every time you do a lamb uphill exercise (a little game after reading), you give your child a score – most of the time it's 100 points! Kids are so happy to learn while doing it!
Finally, answer a few small questions that are common to parents
1. After reading a book, repeat or read a new one? —— Let children choose freely
If the child wants to read the same book repeatedly after reading it once, the parents do not have to stop it, but if the child wants to read a new book, encourage him to read it.
Parents should not offer to have their children read the same book repeatedly.
There are as many as 10 graded books in this set of books at the same level, so that children are always reading new stories, and at the same time review the words at this level.
Freshness is essential to maintaining interest in reading.
2, graded reading is to read extensively, do not need to cut the details
In reading, there is no need to cut the details, but to ensure the interest and reading volume, try to read 10 books at each level.
You can read one book at a time or several times at a time, depending on your child's ability and status.
Reading "Lamb on the Mountain" is to help children read happily, not a mandatory task that must be completed, please adjust the reading time and scene according to the child's mood and state. Therefore, please do not have too strong purposefulness, if the child is happy and relaxed when reading, the parents' emotions are also calm and gentle. That's a great thing!
