Each child's sensitive period of Chinese characters is different. Children who read early will be exposed to Chinese characters earlier, and the sensitive period of Chinese characters will come earlier. The earliest arrival may occur when the child is 2-3 years old, reading at home will stare at the words, and go out will ask what the word baby is called.
So when is the right time to enlighten children about Chinese characters?
Personally, I think it's still based on children's preferences. If the child shows a strong desire to read, adults can teach the baby to read.
If the child does not have literacy requirements, we insist on taking the child to read, so that the Chinese characters have more opportunities to appear in front of the child's eyes and become familiar.
Sometimes just because a child doesn't speak doesn't mean he can't read. With the precipitation of reading day after day, the child has unconsciously learned a lot of words, but he doesn't say them.
Therefore, the best way to enlighten Chinese characters is to read!
As a accompanying mother, I am really trying to make my baby literate and realize my child's independent reading as soon as possible. But many children have forgotten to ask again today. Share three ways to memorize Chinese characters, interesting and memorized.
1. Pictogram mnemonics
In our Chinese characters, there are many hieroglyphs, such as mountain, mouth, person, moon, and so on. You can think of kanji by looking at the glyphs.
If your child has difficulty memorizing Chinese characters, especially first-grade elementary school students, it is better to let your child associate Chinese characters through graphics. After all, 6-year-old and 7-year-old children are still in the stage of transition from pictographic thinking to abstract thinking.
By memorizing Chinese characters through graphics, the children's memory characteristics are treated and the memory is more firmly remembered.
2. Physical mnemonics
Combine objects and names to memorize. It's a bit like a children's flashcard, with pictures and Chinese characters.
3. Guess the riddle memory method
This method is very interesting, but it is only suitable for children who have a certain amount of Chinese character accumulation. For example, if the child can't write the word "moon", he won't be able to guess that the riddle is "friend".
If the process of memorizing Chinese characters is treated as a game, children will be more motivated. Learning also needs to have a method, and memorization is efficient.
Kanji games can be used to consolidate memories and serve as a tool to awaken memories while using kanji. As a first-grade elementary school student, it is recommended to develop the feeling of writing kanji.
I don't know if you have such a feeling, looking at the Chinese characters is very familiar, and it seems strange again after writing it many times. But let's write, we'll write like this subconsciously. This is the feeling of writing Chinese characters that have been developed, and it is generally not possible to write wrong, unless you have made a mistake at the beginning and developed a wrong habit.
Later, I typed more on the computer, and I often forgot to write because I didn't write for too long.
A good memory is not as good as a bad pen, not only to write more, but also to standardize writing, and develop the habit of writing. Let the strokes of Chinese characters go deep into the mind.
How to practice a good hand with your child at home?
If you want to practice a good hand, you must first understand the words. For example, the structure of the word, the strokes, and the stroke order. These are all things that students in the first grade of primary school need to master.
Once you have mastered the basics, start practicing your words by following these three steps:
1. Observe Chinese characters with your child first. First observe the overall structure, where is the Tian character grid. In observing the details of each painting, such as the symmetry of the left and right of the "abundance", the three horizontal intervals are the same. Finally, observe the proportions, such as the spacing between the "up" and the "up".
(If there is a writing book or reference book, there will be an explanation of the structure of Chinese characters on it, which can be used for reference.) ）
2. Observation is followed by practice. When practicing words, you should recall what you have observed and standardize your writing.
3. Review each word once. To practice calligraphy, you don't have to write a lot of words, but every word is the result of careful writing. Review each word once, compare where you don't write well, and adjust the next word.
Many parents realize the benefits of writing a good hand, and a neat paper can make a good impression on the teacher.
Let's have an interactive conversation!
Would you rather take your child to practice calligraphy yourself, or send your child to a writing class?
