With the growth and learning of children, "literacy" is always an unavoidable topic.
As we all know, since the "double subtraction", it is clearly stipulated that kindergartens cannot teach children the content of primary school courses such as Hanyu Pinyin and literacy.
Therefore, many parents are also confused, in the end whether to give their children literacy in advance, in addition, if you choose to read in advance, will it affect the growth of children?
In fact, in my opinion, literacy is a thing that children must experience in the process of growth and learning.
Especially after a child enters primary school from kindergarten, the amount of literacy can easily become a criterion for judging a child's learning ability.
Once you are not prepared for "literacy", it may bring more follow-up problems for children.
01. What are the troubles of young children with little literacy?
Many parents may think that before entering primary school, children should be encouraged to stimulate their nature and let their children have more time to do what they want to do.
But I have to say that the current competitive pressure is still very large, once the child lags behind other children in literacy, then it may bring some trouble to the learning of primary school career.
First of all, children with low literacy may have a hard time learning.
As we all know, no matter what subject, the first element is that children should recognize words, if they do not recognize words, let alone study, there may be problems in daily listening.
Compared with children with high literacy, children with less literacy are often more difficult to understand the learning content.
For example, my aunt's granddaughter, every time she goes home to write homework is very delayed, the family wonder why not to write homework, and finally found that many children do not know, which is impossible to start.
Second, children with low literacy may have a relatively poor interest in learning.
Learning interest is the source of motivation for a child to learn, and in the process of learning, children need a sense of achievement to enhance their interest in learning.
Just think, if a child is not literate enough, then when he sees the content of the textbook, it is tantamount to a book, then in this case, how can he get a sense of accomplishment, and how can he have an interest in learning?
Over time, the subjective initiative of children in learning may become lower and lower, so in the future learning, there will also be various problems.
Therefore, from these two aspects, before children enter primary school, there is a great need for literacy, only in this way can children have good learning ability.
02. Grasp the "literacy sensitive period" and let children learn to read with half the effort
For many parents, they want to know when it is better to "read" their children.
In fact, from the perspective of children's growth, literacy also has a golden stage, that is, starting from the age of 2 and continuing until about the age of 7.
Because at this stage, it is the peak of the child's natural memory ability and overall pattern recognition ability, and the child can easily contact and recognize Chinese characters like touching other objects.
According to the study, a child in a literacy sensitive period can be as efficient as the literacy rate of primary school students in three years.
Therefore, if you want to make it easier for children to read, grasping the "literacy sensitive period" is the key, not to mention the half the effort, and the child will have greater interest.
So in addition to seizing the sensitive period of literacy, what help do parents need to provide to their children? Or is there any small way to help children become literate faster?
03. Using a small method, the literacy of the 5-year-old son exceeded 3000, and learning your baby can easily read
Many parents may be very entangled in how to make their children literate.
Use the traditional "literacy card", it may not work well, over time, the child will feel bored, boring, lose interest in learning.
If you watch videos and read on the Internet, it is difficult to interact with children, coupled with the fact that electronic products are more harmful to children's eyes, and more importantly, if children are obsessed with electronic products, it will be more than worth the loss.
However, one of my girlfriends, Nana, chose the method that I think is very suitable for small babies.
Nana is a teacher at an early education institution, her son is 5 years old, and he is usually very professional about children's education and learning, so I often learn from her.
The most powerful thing about her son is that in half a year, the amount of literacy has exceeded 3,000+, and the small method she uses is also worth learning from everyone.
It turns out that Nana's so-called "little method" is to choose a three-dimensional literacy book for children that is easy and interesting, and has a sense of participation.
Nana said that this kind of three-dimensional flip book, her son has played several sets, each time as a toy to play, and the literacy has increased by leaps and bounds, which is really edutainment.
Among the three-dimensional flip books played by Nana's son, the child's favorite is the "Preschool Literacy 1600 Words Flip Book".
Later, at the recommendation of my girlfriend Nana, I also brought home a set of our family's second treasure, and now the second treasure does not rush to ask for a mobile phone at all, and I can play alone for a long time.
And every day when the child returns from kindergarten, he will begin to fiddle with the flip book, as long as he presses the small switch, he can play while reading, especially to stimulate the child's interest in learning.
This set of books contains 11 themes, covering the patches of nature, characters, life and other high-frequency vocabulary, because it is 3D stereoscopic, it can let children play and learn at the same time, which is very suitable for children aged 2-7.
It is worth noting that this set of books contains 800 words that appear frequently in grades 1-3, which means that before children enter primary school, they can master some words in primary school and be one step ahead in learning.
In addition, this set of books has more than 400 cartoon pictures, using a combination of pictures and texts, so that children can use both hands and brains, in the process of recognizing and writing, experience the fun of the game.
For example, in the theme of "This is our body", children can piece together these organs according to the name, which can not only help children know their own bodies, but also be able to read, recognize words, and increase children's cognition.
At present, this "preschool literacy 1600 words flip book", the price is also relatively cheap, interested parents, you can bring a copy to your child, increase the amount of literacy of children, and "flip through" with your child.

In any case, literacy is an indispensable topic in the process of children's growth, if we can grasp the child's literacy sensitivity period, the use of good literacy tools, not only can make children easy to learn, but more importantly, can help children win at the starting line.
Finally, I would like to ask you, do you think it is necessary to recognize words before going to school?
