Wen | condensed mother's understanding
There has been controversy about the literacy of kindergarten children.
There is a view that children should not accept literacy before the age of 7, and should not accept independent reading, which is something that consumes children's vitality and imprisons children's thinking.
The child's road is still long, the kindergarten has done the primary school thing, the primary school has done the middle school thing, always so advanced, the child is tired, the parents are tired, contrary to the child's growth law, but limit the child's ability development.
There is a view that it is very necessary for kindergarten children to recognize words, other children are literate, your children do not recognize words, is not losing on the starting line?
Moreover, the text itself is a beautiful thing, the child wants to recognize words, but forbid him to recognize words, is tantamount to being rejected when the child wants to eat good food, for the child, it is not a pleasant experience.
Ning Mom supports the latter, it is recommended that the kindergarten begin to teach children to recognize words, word recognition is not simply a problem of winning at the starting line, word recognition does not make children feel tired, but let children harvest happiness, and it is of great help to the improvement of ability and self-confidence.
Kindergarten children's literacy is something that parenting experts and scholars support
Teacher Yin Jianli said that as the most connotative and effective communication medium, writing is the most important gift for children in enlightenment education, in fact, it is more important than letting children recognize some simple things, and it has the function of enlightenment.
Our Chinese characters are not a simple text symbol, but a meaningful symbol with both sound, shape and meaning, the functionality and appreciation are extremely powerful, children know the text, and recognize the numbers, know the picture, is a valuable early education.
Professor Wei Kunlin of Peking University talked about her views on literacy from the perspective of brain science and psychology, he believes that the sooner a child reads, the better, and once a child masters the words, the world will be much more exciting for him.
After the child recognizes the words, he will find that the words will help him in life, which makes him feel very happy and fulfilled.
Slowly, more and more words will be recognized, like a "snowball", and the speed of learning will become faster and faster. Suddenly one day can read independently, the child is no longer just dependent on adults to understand the world, they can explore the world, for him, the interest in literacy is getting stronger and stronger, the reading ability is getting stronger and stronger, the knowledge is wider and wider, forming a virtuous circle.
Erbao has liked to recognize words since he was more than 2 years old, and now he is more than 4 years old, and when he goes out, he is very excited to see words. Before it was just a simple reading, now I have learned to associate, such as seeing the street sign "Zibo", I will be surprised to say "Mom, this is my classmate Wang *Bo's Bo".
Erbao's reading ability is also very strong, 20 pages of picture books, easy to read from the beginning to the end, some large and thick books of teenagers, he also read with relish, that is a very enjoyable state.
Kindergarten children recognize and do not recognize words, resulting in a gap in preschool age, which will not easily disappear after school
10 years ago, when my son was in elementary school, parents did not pay attention to literacy, only a very few children who were interested in words accidentally recognized some words before school, and the maximum literacy amount was not more than 2,000 words.
But now, the enthusiasm of parents to teach their children to recognize words has risen, and there are people who know thousands of words at the age of three or four, and it is very common to know 2,000 words when they are in elementary school.
Those children who have a large amount of literacy are comfortable with learning and doing problems, and are often praised by teachers. And those children with less literacy are always half a beat slower, at a clear disadvantage, not praised, and feel inferior. Learning is not happy, there is no self-confidence, how can children have the motivation to learn?
Parents are not willing to be left behind, they must require their children to chase very hard, and the children in front will certainly not stop moving forward, they will continue to work hard at a higher level. The gap brought about by preschool will not be eliminated after school, but will become larger and larger, and children will feel physically and mentally exhausted.
Some parents said that the number of children's preschool literacy is only 200, but the outstanding students are about 2,000. At the end of the first semester, the child knows 1500 words, or can't keep up with the footsteps of the excellent children, and the excellent children always run in front.
Those who know 2,000 words have independently read many books, developed reading habits, increased a lot of insight, have stronger comprehension skills, and learn more easily outside of language.
Children who do not recognize words or have little literacy are still in the back, and the time to read is used to recognize words, and naturally miss a lot of opportunities to read and understand the world. Because of poor comprehension, learning is also difficult, and grades are affected.
Kindergarten children should be easy and happy to read
When it comes to literacy, parents must have such a scene in their minds:
Put out a bunch of word cards, let the children recognize them one by one, and in the face of strange and unrelated words, the children feel bored and bored, and the tears are watery.
Thinking of this, parents think that reading exceeds the child's intellectual level, which is difficult.
In fact, this way has long been eliminated, if the right way to let children recognize words, is a matter of pushing the boat along the water, there is no difficulty.
The sensitive period of children's literacy is about 3 years old, some are earlier, some are later, but there will be such a stage.
If you are bringing your own children, you will be very keen to capture this, like Erbao is 2 years old and begins to usher in a sensitive period of literacy.
When reading to children and taking them out, children will curiously ask "What is this word?" "When children have this phenomenon, it is the sensitive period of literacy, and we must make good use of it."
Whether at home or out, words can be seen everywhere, according to the child's development rules, the words that are curious about the child, give it very seriously, stimulate his interest in literacy, and his enthusiasm will be very high.
When the child does not ask, we also pretend to be surprised, and tell the child with an exaggerated expression, "Look, this is a certain word." The excitement you feel when you see the words will also infect the child and make the child feel good about the text.
When reading for children, do not be afraid that children do not understand and translate them into spoken language for children, be sure to read standard texts, and let children have close contact with words. Children not only recognize words, but also increase their vocabulary and learn beautiful expressions.
The ultimate purpose of word recognition is to read, improve language ability, comprehension ability and other abilities, so that children can develop reading habits.
The "Guide to learning and development of children aged 3-6 years old" also mentions that children's language learning needs corresponding social experience support, and children's interest in words should be cultivated in life situations and reading activities.
Therefore, it is very worthy of respect and must be done to let children recognize words in reading.
Erbao's literacy mainly comes from reading, not only in the usual reading, but also through the literacy book specially designed for children. The large amount of literacy books can make children's literacy increase explosively, which is of great help to enhance children's confidence.
Literacy is not only to compare other children, not only to prepare for school, but more importantly, to improve ability and develop reading habits, such an investment is worth it.
