From my overall observation of the first-grade textbooks, if you want to make happiness last, you should at least let your children master the following skills before entering school:
1, Pinyin has been learned at least once.
2. Know at least 600 commonly used words.
Practice writing, or you will cry to death.
4. Master addition and subtraction within 20.
6. Know at least some simple English conversations.
The most important thing is that your children should be able to observe discipline.
The above is the minimum knowledge to master, which is the basic condition to ensure your continued happiness. If you don't master one thing, you will be grumpy on the first day of school.
My son's pinyin is the last half year of his big class. I only speak one initial or vowel every day and have been teaching for more than three months. It is not difficult to learn an "A" on the first day and an "E" on the second day, although it is also learning. How to learn in primary school? Do they learn "A, O, E" today, "I, U, V" tomorrow and "B, P, M, F" the day after tomorrow? No, I learned "b-a-ba", "p-o-po", "m-i-mi" and "f-u-fu" the day after tomorrow. Maybe it's nothing for an adult who knows everything, but for a child, it's like learning fifty syllables of Japanese today and reading a bunch of katakana hiragana tomorrow. The most terrible thing is that you don't know anything, but everyone around you seems to know. Are you scared?
The other children reviewed for five minutes after school and finished it. You didn't break down when your baby spelled "ch-u-o pot" for you. Look at your lovely baby, who was smart two weeks ago and suddenly became a fool. Don't you doubt that happy education only taught him happiness and didn't teach him any knowledge?
There will be reading clock-in homework every day, not much, just two or three pages, about 200 words. The other children finished reading it in three minutes, and your child doesn't know a word. You read one sentence, he reads one. When you ask where you read it, he says he doesn't know. Can you hold back your anger? Whether you can hold back your anger or not, I tell you, he really doesn't know where you read it. Take a French article and watch it while listening to the audio. You can't find it after reading the tenth sentence. That's the truth. Do you think you are still happy at this time?
At this time, don't you want your child to study for him every day from the age of two or three? When he is over four, he will have a sensitive period of literacy. You can start teaching him some words while the iron is hot, and it is not difficult to say more common words of 300 words. You are looking for a good way to make him make a little progress (the method mentioned in my previous answer). I can reach a basic reading level by myself before going to school. Isn't this very happy? Too soon. At least the literacy problem in the first and second grades of primary school has been solved.
Your baby didn't write a word, did he? Then you will be constantly criticized psychologically. You really don't know what a child can write, and of course you don't know how high the teacher's requirements for children's writing are now.
My son has been writing for over an hour. As an old mother, I really feel that the first grade writing is really beautiful and very touching. As a result, I didn't even deserve an A+, because I didn't have a pen, no pen. I am really unhappy, but I know that there are many parents and children who are called by the teacher to talk alone.
English appears in the form of small sentences and nursery rhymes. Homework is studying at home, and other children's textbooks don't have to be opened. You only need to recite one unit. Your child, I am Guoguo, remember it, and I am He Miaomiao, forget it. Are you angry? It's no use getting angry. If you don't believe me, take a Thai class and see if you can read a few words after class.
After this time, I don't regret not showing my children cartoons in English and reading at different levels. Why is your accent not standard? You can also have nonstandard Indians, and everyone who speaks in Silicon Valley is confident.
Do you know that some parents can receive more than three complaint calls a day in grade one? Your child ran out of the classroom in class. Your child went to physical education class and said he wanted to go to the toilet. The teacher told him to wet his pants in the future. Your children make a hullabaloo about in the corridor, climb trees, step on other people's stools and fight with children in other classes. When the bell rings, the things in the desk are in a mess, and they are always lost. I listen to all kinds of parents' complaints every day, including my own experience. I deeply feel that the child's class teacher is the boss who you will never dare to leave a resignation letter. The happier children are before school, the less happy they are at school. You will see the light in his eyes disappear a little bit, which is full of expectations for growth.
It is not difficult to teach him what I said before going to school for three years. He will still be happy after entering school. The teacher will praise him and won't bother you. She will be full of confidence and you will reduce anxiety. Such a good start will make your happiness last longer.
