The 4-year-old baby in the kindergarten can only count to 13, and the 3-year-old baby who is not in kindergarten can easily count to 100, can memorize more than 30 Tang poems, and the language ability is particularly good, all relying on Grandma to insist on doing this one thing.
Recently, a new neighbor has moved in, and wenwen, a 4-year-old little brother, often comes to visit the door and plays with Doudou every day and refuses to go home.
One day, 2 children played the game of teacher and student, Doudou became a teacher, one would teach his brother to count, one would teach his brother to read Tang poems, and he would learn a similar way.
Wenwen's mother was very surprised and asked me: "Isn't Doudou not in kindergarten yet, how does it look familiar with the appearance of the classroom, you have an early education class?" ”
"I haven't been to kindergarten yet, I haven't been to early school, and my grandmother is a teacher and often plays classroom games with her." I replied.
Wenwen can only count to 13, and then count down is 15, always missing 14, Doudou can't help but interrupt the little brother: "13, 14, 15." ”
Wenwen continues to count at 15, and can only count to 20, and then it will not be further down.
Bean bean said to his brother, "Follow the teacher and count, 1, 2, 3, 4,...... 99,100。 Wen Wen, one will play with toys, one will look east and west, so angry that the little teacher can only change the content."
"Now let's learn ancient poems, follow me to read "Wing Liu", jasper makeup into a tree high..." Doudou changed to Tang poetry class, Wenwen only followed the "Wing Liu", and the verse could not keep up with a word.
Wen Wen's mother smiled helplessly: "'Wing Goose' has not been memorized until now." ”
WenWen has gone to kindergarten small class, the personality is lively and active, Wenwen's mother discipline is more strict, and wenwen has set a lot of rules, such as eating sugar to get the consent of the mother, going to the neighbor's house to enter the door to first slippers and greeting, Wenwen can abide by.
But the only thing that makes Wenwen's mother a headache is that her son's language ability is very poor, his speech and bite words are not clear, the pronunciation of many words is not accurate, the vocabulary is too small, and he often says that he is stuck in words, and he does not know how to express them.
And Doudou, although he has not yet attended kindergarten, he can already memorize more than 30 ancient poems, and the number is also very good, and he can speak the Tao, and he is very good at chatting with people:
"Auntie, I'm drinking lotus root soup, you see, the lotus is broken." "Uncle, is my brother taking online lessons?" I'm not going to bother him, and I'll let him play with me when my brother is done. ”
Wenwen's mother took the scriptures from me, and I said to her: "I usually go to work, I teach very little, mainly my grandmother teaches her, counting, ancient poems are taught by my grandmother." Strong language ability should have a great influence on our insistence on reading picture books. ”
We buy not many toys for Doudou, but picture books are often bought, my mother-in-law and I attach great importance to reading picture books for Doudou, from the age of 1, we will insist on reading a few picture books for her every day, sometimes I am busy at work, there is no time, the heavy responsibility of reading picture books is on the mother-in-law, the mother-in-law has never missed a day.
After reading picture books for more than 2 years, we found that listening to stories for a long time can bring many benefits to children:
Listen to stories, strong language skills
Picture books contain a large number of fresh words, often read picture book stories to children, can learn nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc., children's vocabulary will grow rapidly, stimulate the development of language ability, improve language expression ability.
Some studies have found that the gap between different family language environments is very large, and the gap in these vocabularies causes the child's IQ in the future, and will also affect the development of children's mathematical, spatial reasoning and literacy skills.
Listening to stories, the memory is amazing
Buying a picture book is not only to tell it once, we will tell Doudou once every once in a while, when we encounter a story that we like very much, Doudou will also ask to tell it again, sometimes a picture book is told every day, and it is repeated more than 20 times.
Repeat listening to the story, can deepen the child's impression of the details of the story, promote the development of brain nerves, the child listens more, can accurately repeat the story content, enhance the child's memory.
Listen to stories and develop good habits
1-6 years old is a key period for children to develop habits, children are too small, we directly with them to reason is not easy to understand, through picture book stories, children are more likely to understand and accept, will also be the correct behavior in the story subtly affected, correct their own bad practices.
For example, Doudou sometimes doesn't want to brush her teeth, we will tell her the story of "New Things on the Street of Teeth" Hukdik, and as soon as Doudou listens, I don't want them to punch holes in my teeth, so I quickly brush my teeth.
Wenwen's mother sighed after listening: "It turns out that reading picture books has so many benefits, I have never known, always thinking that there is no place to put books at home, thinking that the child is so young and can't understand, I want to wait for the child to go to primary school and then train him to read." ”
Many parents have such a wrong idea, thinking that the child is small, they can't understand the reading, and then start to cultivate the habit of reading when the child goes to school.
In fact, reading is not only for children to understand, in the child's childhood, we tell them stories, read picture books, is the process of input, for children to open their mouths to speak in the future to accumulate, input vocabulary more, you will find that when children learn to speak, often say a lot of words that surprise us, that is, many people say "children speak adult words".
In addition to accumulating vocabulary, parent-child co-reading can help children develop the habit of reading from an early age, and children need to constantly accept information in the process of listening to stories, processing and associating in the brain, so as to stimulate children's imagination and make children more intelligent.
How do I choose a picture book for my child?
1. Choose the appropriate picture book according to the child's age and cognition
Each age group of children's cognitive level is different, we do not choose language and cognition far beyond the child's own level of picture books, for example, children are only 2 years old, read them popular science stories, they are difficult to understand.
According to the age and cognitive level of the child, we should choose books that are a little higher than the child's current reading comprehension ability.
2. Choose from familiar life scenes
When choosing picture books for children, you can choose around the familiar life scenes of children, such as choosing picture books for 1-2-year-old children to brush their teeth, sleep, pull smell and other habits, and giving 3-4-year-old children to choose kindergarten, making friends, sharing picture books, close to children's lives, children are easier to understand and accept.
3. Choose according to the child's interests
Many parents hear which book is good and won the award, they hurry to buy a copy for their children, but buy a bunch of books, children love to read only a few, parents think that children do not love to read books, there is a deep sense of frustration.
Award-winning picture books, experts feel that good picture books, children are not necessarily interested, understand the children's interests and hobbies, give them interested in the picture books, children love to see, love to listen, so as to achieve the purpose of parent-child reading.
