| Rice grain mom
When I entered the company early this morning, I heard my colleague Chen Chen talking about her children's literacy. Chen Chen's expression was solemn, as if he had encountered some century's problem.
She said:
"The hieroglyphic method is particularly well used by me, such as 'chicken', our children know 'bird', chicken is a bird, the bird pecks rice on the ground, the left 'again', similar to the beak of a chicken, the feeling of a sharp beak. As soon as my family ate roast chicken, I took the chicken head and gave it to him to review, and he really remembered this word. ”
Colleagues laughed at the sound of geese on the spot and said:
"You're really desperate, are you sure the child can still eat well?"
Chen Chen then said:
"And you wouldn't think of it." Autumn's 'autumn', I told him that the leaves were red like fire, and autumn was dry and easy to catch fire..."
The expression of the colleagues went like this:
Chen Chen went on to say:
"You know what? I can find references to constantly brainwash him, but there are still many conceptual abstract words, and I really can't do it.
For example, 'yes' of 'yes', 'want' of 'want', 'do not do' of 'do', how do you say I describe him? Can't describe it! ”
Colleagues laughed again.
It seems that it is true that when we were young, we were literate, as if it were a matter of course. No parent has bothered so hard to disassemble Chinese characters for their children to remember.
Even if it is a teaching like Chen Chen,children's literacy seems to be "old and difficult."
Another colleague, Chi Chi, continued:
"Don't mention it, my child, the word 'song' of 'singing', the 'owe' on the right is written as 'anti-text' every time, it is wrong ten times, the penalty is also written, or it can't be changed, just like the evil."
When everyone talks about children's literacy disorders, they all have a big basket of complaints to be made. It seems that this matter is really a common problem now.
Children receive more video information than when we were kids, so reading books on their heads has become more difficult.
However, we can use our strength to fight, since children can not do without electronic image information, it is unlikely to return to the era of paper reading, then we can use this platform.
Chen Chen's teaching in this way can certainly be effective, but it is too expensive.
Rice grain mother found four literacy cartoons for everyone, after watching, the preschool 800 words recognition should not be a big problem, reading simple books is no problem.
Deductive Literacy
This film is an animated film that allows children to understand the origin of the development of Chinese characters. There are 22 episodes, each about 3 minutes long, and the duration is friendly.
The painting style is the feeling of ink painting, which is displayed in the form of animation superimposed oracle bones, and the soundtrack is all guzheng music, which is very classical Chinese.
He told the child the ins and outs of the Chinese characters, which was very vivid and intuitive.
At the beginning of the film, it is Cangjie and two children in the landscape. The child asked Cangjie what word he had recently created, so Cangjie took the child to see.
Then you see this elephant and this deer and the like:
Later, I will begin to explain these words in detail. For example, the word "elephant" will give a clear explanation. Along with the source of the word, the group words will be formed.
Oracle bones, gold scripts, small seals, modern Chinese characters, all to tell again:
It's hard not to remember. Not to mention, this method is really quite similar to Chen Chen's method of teaching children.
Another example is this "picking" word, picking flowers, picking honey, and being happy, this "picking" is actually a more abstract word. If we tell our children ourselves, we may not really think of how to describe it.
It says: a hand above, a tree below, as if picking fruit.
Although the "hand" above is very abstract, you can see the glyphs of the oracle bone, gold text, and small seal, and it is really like a hand.
After speaking the new words, Grandpa Cangjie will also take everyone to review and deepen the impression. This includes not only the consolidation of words, but also group words, constituent languages, sentence construction, and the use of words to make up stories.
What do you think? Pretty much a mom, right?
"Words Make Sense"
It is also a cartoon dedicated to teaching children to read. There are two seasons, each containing 150 Chinese characters, each literacy animation is only 60 seconds, and the duration is also quite friendly.
Its style belongs to the relaxed and interesting hand-drawn animation, but also in the form of disassembling glyphs to improve children's understanding and cognition of Chinese characters.
And the dubbing is all children's voices, and the children listen very kindly.
This set of videos uses the etymological root literacy method, which is also the most popular teaching method now. (When we were young, there were so many fancy methods, didn't they all teach the side heads, and then you could look up the dictionary yourself...) ）
From the etymology to the allegorical extension, and then to the idiom as a side, composition. This cartoon Rice Mama suggests that everyone can make a plan to watch.
For example, watching 10 episodes today will take 10 minutes. As I watched it over time, the amount of literacy went up unconsciously.
I'll show you an episode, like this "spring" word:
Its explanation is: the sun comes out and the grass sprouts.
He also talked about "the plan of the year lies in the spring" and "the origin of the Spring Festival".
It's that simple, and that's it. The child is absolutely unsatisfied when he looks at a word, and he wants to look down.
It's perfectly fine to read ten words a day.
Although each episode of this film is short and concise, there are many knowledge points in it that we as adults do not know.
Don't think that the words we all know, it is not worth reading, you will learn a lot of cold knowledge that you did not know before.
《Chinese Characters Tell Stories》
This part introduces the etymology and evolution of 180 words, and each episode is two minutes long, introducing the root and derivative combination of a word.
This method of literacy is also different from the traditional method, and more emphasis is placed on developing children's interests. And it also has the role of inheriting the origin of Chinese culture.
Its painting style is quite special, it is this soft and sticky little person:
Rice grain mother quite like this style of painting.
Its dubbing is Hong Kong and Taiwanese, gentle and gentle.
For example, this "and" word, interpreted as the form of the oracle bone, was originally the "right" of the right hand. Later, it was borrowed to mean "again".
Then it is the association of the word "and", two holding hands to help each other, that is, the "friend" of friends;
In ancient times, sons were preferred to women, and women were captured and became captives, which was the "slave" of slaves.
Anyway, associations come and go, all in order to deepen memory.
"Thirty-Six Words"
This is a super classic domestic animation released in 1984. Good fellow, the year 1984 sounds like a very childhood memory of killing.
This film is only 10 minutes long, introduced from a father teaching a child to draw, telling an interesting story in 36 words.
One of the small bridge sections is quite famous, is the "tiger sheep flower crossing the river", this section is very classic, it is estimated that many people have heard it when they were young.
Sheep want to eat flowers, tigers want to eat sheep, how to transport them across the river together? This is a classic river crossing puzzle, which is actually used to make literacy animations, and the puzzle that has been troubled for many years still has a mysterious color, which is very suitable for children.
Each background character in the story is a hieroglyph, which delicately interprets the connection between the pictogram and the text. It is also a form of displaying Chinese civilization.
This is really a classic masterpiece, and the film from more than 30 years ago is still fashionable when I look at it now. Mirimoto even feels that this 80s cartoon has a mysterious and simple charm, which is most in line with the temperament of hieroglyphs.
Now literacy is different from what we used to be, and we are always eager to find the etymology and root of the word.
In fact, the rice grain mother feels that recognizing words is recognizing words, looking for memory points, and for no reason, it may complicate simple problems. Originally, I only needed to remember one word, because there was too much content mixed in, but I had to remember more words.
However, the postponement of the sensitive period of children's literacy must be solved in a way that corresponds to the times. For example, Chen Chen Jiawa, if you don't use rich figurative associations to tell him, he really can't remember.
These cartoons, as well as the now popular literacy method, will use hieroglyphs to remember, which shows that children are better at receiving image information.
As long as the task of recognizing words is associated with images, it is a more suitable method for children today. You might as well give it a try.
In fact, it is really not excluded that some children are still like when we were young, and they directly remember the words. But I have to admit that most children still need us to assist in this regard.
But rice grain mothers can be sure that children can remember, just not necessarily which way to eat. Maybe you think that associations, root etymology or something is too troublesome, but maybe children will eat this method.
So give your child a try!
