Should I let my child read early? The teacher said bluntly: The gap between literate and illiterate children is obvious
I believe that everyone has seen this notice: kindergartens are forbidden to teach children to read in advance. Parents panic instantly, kindergartens do not teach children to read, what can children do after they go to primary school? How can I keep up?
The children of the sister's family are now facing this problem, they are illiterate in primary school, and when they do Chinese problems, they still have to read word by word by sister or brother-in-law, and they can't recognize all the math problems, and how to teach English can't be taught. The sister and brother-in-law said that when helping their children to do homework, they had high blood pressure.
When the nephew can't do the problem, the sister is angry and fierce, the child cries, my sister is more irritable, sometimes even scolded, the mother-child relationship fell into a stalemate. Putting aside these, what is more worrying is the nephew's grades, because there is no literacy foundation, the nephew's grades have always been counted down in the class. The class teacher talked to my sister many times and asked my sister to tutor her children's homework after school to improve her children's grades.
01 Teachers say that the difference between children's preschool literacy is too obvious
Before the child goes to primary school, most parents are struggling with a question, do you want to teach their children to read and write?
On the topic of whether children should read and write before school, according to the various situations around them, the opinions of parents are polarized.
Some parents hold the opinion that it is very necessary. These parents believe that if the child does not read and write before school, after entering the primary school, it will lag behind other children a lot, which is not conducive to their children's learning, will bring great pressure to their children, and will make the children feel inferior, which is not conducive to the growth of children.
Some parents hold the opinion that there is absolutely no need. These parents prove that their children's literacy is a matter for primary school teachers, and preschool children can have fun and grow up healthy.
Although parents' opinions are polarized, they all have a starting point for the good of their children. But teachers don't think so, they think preschool literacy is very necessary.
1. Primary school Chinese textbooks tell us that preschool literacy is necessary
As soon as the Chinese textbook is opened, students are asked to know some words so that they can preview the text. If the child already knows some words before school, it will be easier to learn at this time, which will greatly improve students' confidence in learning and help students build self-confidence.
For those children who are not literate in preschool, the pressure of just going to primary school is very great, everything is starting from scratch, and they may encounter setbacks, which is their aversion to learning and avoid learning.
2. Preschool literacy can reduce dyslexia and better cultivate interest in reading
Many teachers find that children who read early are more interested in reading and more fond of knowledge. And many of those children who do not know words have no interest in reading. Obviously, early literacy can reduce dyslexia and make children more interested in reading.
This shows that children who do not have a literacy foundation are not only stressed in primary school, but also easily unable to keep up.
02 A four-year-old is very literate, just because her mother did one thing
There is no such thing as an absolutely correct thing, especially educating children. Regarding whether to let children read before school, the focus is not on whether to teach children, but on how to teach. Many parents here are actually wrong in their approach to education.
A young teacher told the story of a child in their class. There was a little boy in the class, and when the teacher reminded him to write, he began to write, and as soon as the teacher left, he immediately put down the pen.
Later, the teacher talked to the child's mother and found out the problem. It turned out that when the little boy was young, his parents forced him to write every day. Deprived of his time to play, the little boy became disgusted with writing, causing him to not want to pick up a pen at all in elementary school.
Some teachers pointed out that there is a sensitive period for children to read, and grasping this sensitive period can achieve the effect of doing more with less.
"Sun Ruixue mentioned in "Capturing children's sensitive period": Children enter about five years old, and words, symbols (pinyin), coloring, mathematical logic, reading and other aspects have entered a sensitive period of rapid development."
According to the teacher, each child's sensitive period is different, which is related to the surrounding environment and their own conditions. Speaking of which, I am reminded of my niece Jiajia, a four-year-old doll who knows a lot of words. Every time she was taken shopping, she could recognize almost all the words on the street, and occasionally one or two words she didn't recognize, and would immediately ask me: "Uncle, what is this word?" ”
What amazed me was not only the number of words she knew, but also her strong interest in literacy. Breaking the sand pot to ask the end, I asked his mother, only to know that this is not the case. Jiajia's mother said: With two children, one day of hard work, how can there be time to teach children to read and read? She just gave her child a copy of the "Preschool Literacy Three-dimensional Flip Book", and she didn't know how Jiajia knew so many words.
This sentence turned me into lemon essence, and my smile revealed that my eyes were red. Didn't spend time teaching children, children are still so good, when they go to elementary school, they don't have to worry about not being able to keep up, there is pressure or something, and they solve a lot of trouble. I was curious about the book, which was a bookstore, and bought a pack and came back to read for myself. It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, it is really suitable for preschool children aged 3 to 6 years old.
First, the book includes 1600 commonly used high-frequency vocabulary, including 800 words commonly used in grades one through three. Reading instruction manuals and pictographic literacy cards are also provided to help children exercise their literacy skills.
Second, this set of books is a pop-up book, the content of the book is vivid, which can greatly stimulate children's interest in learning and exploration.
Third, this book is very grounded and brings knowledge to life. Many scenes are common in life, so that children can learn in life, so that learning is no longer building in the air, no longer a mechanical memory. The life of knowledge can greatly stimulate children's interest in learning, and mobilize the charm of tactile and visual feelings of words.
Fourth, the book contains a panoramic view, which is three-dimensional, systematic, and displayed in the form of a large scene.
Fifth, there are nearly 400 super cute cartoon pictures in the book, which use a combination of pictures and texts to help children memorize these words, so that when they see the words, they can think of physical objects, which greatly improves the memory efficiency. This book truly combines Chinese character learning, situational cognition and enlightenment early education, which is very suitable for early childhood articulation.
Finally, this high-cost "Preschool Literacy Three-dimensional Flip Book", the price is not as high as imagined, but it is very close to the people. If you have school-age children at home, but parents do not know how to educate, it is recommended to refer to this book.
