After the double reduction, fans love to ask the question - what to read in primary school essays? What doesn't look good in 2nd grade math? What is bad for 3rd grade English...... Something like that.
After all, without cram school, if you want your child to improve his grades or make up for his shortcomings, he can only work hard at home after class.
If you don't make a boat, you will leave English aside after class, and if you don't have an English learning environment at home, you will definitely not be able to learn well just by relying on the time in class. But parents are not teachers, so they must need some useful teaching aids.
In the case of English, in the past year, some practical tutoring materials newspapers/magazines and the like have been selling better and better.
As the universal language of the world, mastering English is an essential skill for the future society, and learning English will be a real plus for the future life. English has long been a passport for ordinary people to go to a higher platform and get more opportunities.
There are a lot of English tutoring on the market, but if you want to say the most practical in primary school, I still recommend this set of graded English tutoring magazines that can be specific to the grade level - "China Youth English News".

02
Associative memory + scene learning
Let the children grasp the knowledge points easily
To really learn English well, the method is more important than the effort. For example, when it comes to memorizing words, we used to spend a lot of time memorizing by rote, but we still couldn't remember it well, and we forgot it the next day.
Chinese Youth English uses methods that are more suitable for primary school students' associative memory and scene learning to help children quickly grasp knowledge.
For example, in the 3rd-4th grade edition, this article about Antarctic penguins first introduces Penguins with the image of a cute penguin, and then introduces the image and simple living habits of penguins, so it leads to more words related to penguins: fat, thick, feather, flipper, seafood...... With the picture, it is easy for children to have associative memories and memorize words firmly.
The magazine uses interesting stories as reading corpus, bold the words that need to be mastered, and there is also a vocabulary list at the end of the article, and there are small word cards that can be gamified and fragmented memory in each issue to expand the amount of extracurricular words in a targeted manner. These words are all key elementary school words that are close to daily life scenes, and they appear frequently in magazines many times, and they deepen their memory unconsciously.
Not only words, but also more simple daily communication with the characters, the content and pictures are close to life, such as New Year's gifts, Christmas and other common scenes in life, which can present children with a situational English learning environment and help children better understand English knowledge points.
In addition, after each short story and at the end of each issue, the magazine arranges exercises that match the learning stage, including listening, reading, and writing, which can consolidate the knowledge points that children have learned in this issue of the magazine, and can also connect with the knowledge points in the classroom to help children improve their English.

Combined with the course standard textbook and scientific graded reading
Gradient learning, strength to help students
As children gradually move up to the upper grades, the vocabulary requirements are getting higher and higher, and parents will become more and more powerless, but the grading system of China Youth English News can perfectly match the learning goals of children in each grade.
The content of the magazine is based on the English Curriculum Standards (2011 Edition) of the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China, and is jointly reviewed by members of the core group of the National English Curriculum Standards and British and American language experts.
The setting of the scientific grading of the magazine closely follows the gradient learning content of the textbook knowledge, which can fully immerse the knowledge points of the primary school stage, synchronize the teaching class, and allow children to easily complete the classroom tasks.
Moreover, the content includes four sections: listening, speaking, reading and writing, which can comprehensively improve children's English learning, and is a kind of teaching aid that many school teachers will recommend and subscribe to in the class.
For example, the three corresponding grade versions of the animal kingdom are all about the theme of penguins, but the content content is completely different:
The words in the 1st and 2nd grade versions are all simple vocabulary that meets the requirements of the first and second grade curriculum standards, and the content is mainly short sentences, with many pictures and few words, and can even be extended to the English enlightenment learning at the kindergarten level;
The 3rd-4th grade version has deepened the intensity and word volume, and the 5th-6th grade version has greatly improved the amount of words and reading, increased the reading of long texts, which can lay the foundation for junior high school learning, and even the design of interactive games is set according to children's cognitive and hands-on ability.
From the beginning of primary school to the graduation of primary school, the whole grading system is complete, and the learning objectives of each stage are clear. The vocabulary, grammar and sentence pattern requirements required by the course standards, as well as daily topics, are covered, and they are also extended horizontally and deepened vertically. Children not only master the vocabulary and sentence patterns of related topics, but also be able to apply them in real life situations.

Authentic audio reading audio
Audio-visual synchronization, authentic English grinding ears
There is a common problem in Chinese-style English learning - that is, dumb English and can't speak!
Many children with good written grades are not very good at speaking, and even many college English levels 4 or 6 have passed, but still can't speak a few words of English, and can't communicate smoothly.
Language is an applied skill, so learning to use it is the main thing, and the premise of speaking is to listen enough! Listening is not only about listening to words and sentences, but also about listening to English pronunciation habits, language habits, and using them in your own pronunciation.
Moreover, now the English college entrance examination listening and speaking in most provinces of the country are compulsory items, so giving children more listening input from an early age can not only improve children's listening, but also have a very effective effect on children's oral expression in the future.
Each edition of the "China Youth English Newspaper" is equipped with audio recordings with pure American pronunciation, and almost more than half of the pages are audio content, of which the audio content of "Bilingual Story Club" even accounts for three-quarters.
There are three ways for children to listen to magazines, the most convenient is to scan the QR code in the lower left corner of the magazine cover to listen directly to the audio version of the newspaper; You can also log on to the magazine's WeChat platform or magazine website to easily "listen" to the magazine.
The cover of each magazine and the beginning of each short story are equipped with a QR code, which can be scanned to start audio-visual synchronous learning. Pure American pronunciation can help children practice correct English pronunciation from an early age, and reject "Chinese English".
At the same time, the interactive form of mobile phones and books can also attract children's interest in learning, help children focus on English learning, provide children with a good English learning atmosphere, and help children develop good English learning habits.
