My colleague's child should go to primary school in September next year, and he obviously said that he was not in a hurry to have a baby, but under the influence of the movie "Learning Dad", he asked around how to connect his child to a young child.
After experiencing his daughter's learning pinyin and arithmetic, Wenwen's father suddenly discovered that he once thought that these "mountains" were actually paper tigers!
01, pinyin: no need to learn in advance, every baby will be in the end
Before her daughter went to the first grade, Wenwen's father was also very anxious about her learning pinyin, and always heard people say: Now the teacher's teaching progress is fast, if the child does not learn pinyin in advance, it will not be able to keep up.
Is this really the case? Wenwen's father feels that it is true that the teaching progress of pinyin is fast, but no matter whether the child learns in advance or not, after the first grade, he will learn from scratch.
For the pronunciation and teaching methods of pinyin, different teachers have different teaching methods, and children are likely to be "incompatible".
Wen Wen's father has consulted the Chinese teacher, in her words, the new curriculum standard has changed a lot in the positioning of pinyin, and the upper grades of primary school will take the pinyin question, but now basically do not take the test. In the final analysis, pinyin is a tool for children's literacy, and according to her observation, most first-grade children can master it after a few months of entering school, and there is no need to learn it in advance.
Now looking back at the scene of his daughter learning pinyin in the first grade, Wenwen's father agrees with the concept of this Chinese teacher, pinyin from knowing, familiar to mastering, children need to have a process. After the first grade, parents spend a little effort to tutor, and the child can completely grasp it.
Therefore, parents whose children are going to enter the first grade in 2 years, don't be anxious and be calm. In the final analysis, the purpose of learning pinyin is to solve the problem of children's literacy and reading, and parents can teach their children to use pinyin more after their children have learned pinyin, and they will get twice the result with half the effort.
My daughter also struggled to learn pinyin at first, but since Wenwen's father taught him to use pinyin typing to chat with her grandmother, her interest came up at once, and she also knew a lot of words.
Therefore, the young connection really does not need to learn pinyin in advance, it may be hurried at first, but after a period of study and hard work, it will always pass. After the first grade, I look back, and basically there are no children who can't read pinyin and pinyin.
02. Calculation: Be able to understand the meaning of numbers, just be able to count
To be honest, first-grade math is too easy to learn in advance. I really want to learn, take the child to know the numbers from 1 to 9, it is enough to count to 20, and it is better if the baby can count, count backwards, and jump counting.
As for calculations, there is really no need to learn in advance, the teacher will teach them in class, and if they learn in advance, the child will also have the risk of "preconceived": if they think they can, they will not worry about the class.
My daughter, who has never learned arithmetic, has excellent math scores after the first grade, so at what age, let the child follow the teacher's teaching progress.
03. Improving concentration is the most important thing to do for young children
When his daughter was in the second grade, Wenwen's father clearly realized that there is really no need to worry about children's pinyin and calculation before school, after a period of learning, the whole class can learn, and what really opens up the child's learning gap is concentration.
When my daughter first entered the first grade, I received "complaints" from teachers of various subjects almost every day, saying that my daughter couldn't sit still in class, had a lot of small movements, and either turned the pen or pinched the eraser in class. There is surveillance in their classroom, and Wen Wen's father went to the teacher's office to check the surveillance several times, and found that she was either in a daze and playing with her hands in class, or sitting on the seat and dangling her legs, completely careless, and she was angry when she looked at it.
At that time, the Chinese teacher suggested that Wenwen's father should train the child's concentration. In the words of the teacher, the IQ of the children in the class is about the same, and what affects the children's academic performance is actually their concentration on learning.
So, how to improve your child's concentration?
Concentration is the beginning of all learning! As the school teacher said, children with strong concentration may learn the same problem in 5 minutes, while children with poor concentration may need 30 minutes to figure it out. But the good news is that concentration can be improved through effective training.
The figure below shows the attention span of children of different ages before the age of 12, is your baby up to the standard?
Parents who know some brain science knowledge know that before the age of 7 is a critical period for the rapid development of children's brains, and it is also the golden period for attention training.
For preschool children, improving their concentration through games is what they are most interested in and most receptive. This set of "Attention Training Game Book" is recommended to everyone, this set of books is very popular in a certain book and a certain sound, and Wenwen's father also bought it during the live broadcast of a well-known parenting blogger.
When my daughter saw the book, she asked me, "Can I open it?" After getting my affirmation, she went into the bedroom with the book, and I deliberately waited a long time to see her. When I walked into the bedroom, I found that she was concentrating on reading this set of game books, her hands kept sliding over the trees, and her mouth was still muttering.
I took a closer look and was unconsciously intrigued, and then played with her for another 1 hour, the games in it were very creative and challenging, and my daughter liked it very much.
There are 4 books in this set, each with its own characteristics! For example, this "Wisdom Hide and Seek" is my daughter's favorite, the content of the game is mainly related to numbers, and the tricks are used to let children find patterns, connect, and solve passwords, which is intended to exercise the coordination ability of children's hands, eyes and brains.
In the picture above, the children follow the law of numbers, from 1, 2, 3 and so on to the maximum number, and the clothes of the two children are ready.
The book "Fun to Find the Difference" is also very fond of reading by the daughter, and it aims to exercise children's observation ability by observing the combination of numbers, graphics and stories.
There are 5 differences between the two pictures on the left and right below, and the child's concentration and observation have been improved in the process of searching.
"Wisdom into the Labyrinth" focuses on training children's visual pursuit ability, don't underestimate this ability, it is related to the seriousness of the child's class listening, what the teacher says, whether she can remember.
Not to mention children, all kinds of maze games, Wenwen's father is an adult who can't stop playing every time, can you find the maze exit in 30 seconds?
If you can't find it, just look at the answer! These games not only exercise children's concentration and observation, but also train children's logical reasoning ability, which is very helpful for learning mathematics.
"Wisdom into the Labyrinth" is equivalent to the comprehensive training of the previous 3 books, and the difficulty has also increased slightly, mainly through games such as finding differences and breaking into the maze to test children's concentration and observation.
The "Become a Monster" on this page can guide children to fill in the serial number and tell stories at the same time, so as to improve children's logical reasoning and language skills.
This set of books is a super-large book design, with large characters and pictures, which does not hurt the baby's eyes. Each game in the book is carefully designed to improve children's concentration, observation and logical reasoning skills.

In short, now looking back at the connection between the young and the young, pinyin and calculation are paper tigers, and what should really train children is concentration! Without concentration, all learning is in vain. It's the winter vacation, let the children play this set of "Attention Training" game books, especially the children who can't sit still and have poor concentration, after all, it's not a shame for a stupid bird to fly first, and it's a shame to be at the bottom of the grades!
