His English was also blocked at home. When I was a child, because my vision and thinking were limited, I put him in my hometown to follow the old man. The result was still unclear when I was over two years old. Many people laughed at me and said that he started teaching English because he couldn't even speak Mandarin clearly. Aren't you a little too hard? In the past two years, when I seriously studied English enlightenment, I found that parents who lived in Buddhism and enjoyed a happy childhood misinterpreted foreign education in essence. In the past, we could only see where the field of vision reached, and the cognitive boundary determined the behavior. After seeing different worlds, my belief is extremely firm. Sure enough, with my persistence, my children not only made rapid progress in English, but also expressed themselves in Mandarin more and more clearly and methodically. This is a bonus. I firmly believe that whether it is language or other hobbies, only by persisting in repeated practice can we see the compound interest of time. To wait for the flowers to bloom calmly, we need to persist step by step. There is no genius in the world, only correct practice.
Now Damon is almost four years old. After half a year, he has sung dozens of children's songs and read some picture books, and he can pop up several sentences and words every day. However, I found that his interest in simple children's songs is weakening with his age, and his family environment is limited, so he can't input all English materials into the TV computer as I expected. I began to feel a little anxious and tried to improve his next step, so I thought of Xiaohua and Huang again. After communicating with Huang, she gave me a lot of advice, so I carefully brushed an article to understand her action path.
1. Graded reading materials did not follow the hierarchy step by step correctly, but he randomly selected them from the bookshelf himself. In fact, he has no ability to distinguish. So his confidence is often frustrated. There are many topics he likes on the cover of Oxford 6. He will let me see them, but I can't understand them. I will only continue to look at them and refuse to listen.
I don't like it. I have always liked traffic, but I only bought a few Chinese versions of traffic reference books. Now I like dinosaurs. A few days ago, I saw some books about dinosaurs in "I can read" recommended by Ma, so I quickly got started. When I brought them home, he got a treasure. Buy more books about traffic and dinosaurs in the future, or adjust with your hobbies.
3. When I was reading with my parents, I didn't read according to the words in the book, but I played too casually, which led to the children's lack of interest in listening to the audio of the book even after it was played, because it was not as interesting as mom said. However, the old lady's ideal world is that one day he can listen to books by himself like Huang Zi, and then he should make appropriate adjustments.
At present, we should start with some theater picture books that can be performed. Since we started reading picture books, we have never stopped performing picture books, such as Super Dad of Oxford. We have performed the story of catching a thief countless times, which is an excellent opportunity to practice and enhance the parent-child relationship. Recently, he seldom performs because there are not many plays for him in the books he reads. I saw the Lisheng Theater mentioned in the official account of Xiaohua WeChat before, and I am ready to start.
5. There is not enough time for picture books every day, and the quantity can't go up, which is useless. Time arrangement should be more reasonable, and daily reflection is the key. The recent daily routine is to go downstairs and have crazy activities with other children for an hour every night. When I get home, I will take a shower immediately. I can't dillydally eat fruit and play with building blocks. In this way, you can have about 40 minutes before going to bed every day, brush 10 elementary picture books, watch a long story, or watch an English animation, in case you have the opportunity to listen to the audio of picture books or animations during the day.
? Here are some experiences that I personally think are useful to share with you:
? Spell letters and names naturally, use the plasticine series video of Xiaohua WeChat official account, and add some homework sheets to consolidate related words twice a week. At present, I have finished learning the letter G. As long as we have a chance to walk together, we will begin to practice answering questions and sing: A stands for apple, A stands for apple. Wait a minute. And then answer the dragon with what we saw and thought along the way. We cannot repeat them. He usually wins! (deliberately let him)
? BrainQuest–Ask and answer questions anytime, anywhere.
? According to Xiaohua and Huang, we insist on daily use, and the book "Parent-child Almighty" is the best choice; Insist on reading with children before going to bed; I don't set limits for children. I don't teach children, because I think this word is very long in daily life. I found many words that I can hardly remember. After repeating them in simple scenes, my children remembered them. In English learning, in addition to mastering color/numbers/zoology, we should also learn emotional control, protect nature and small animals, and train imagination. So as to truly understand linguistics.
? Most people around me have enrolled their children in online foreign language classes, and the tuition fees are very high. Out of curiosity, I taught my child a lesson, and the evaluation result was 1 level, which was expected. After the experience, he didn't like it very much, because all the contents were memorized and there was no fun and real interaction I taught him. The 25-minute class ended in 15 minutes because he answered quickly. Looking back at the course content, what's your name? How old are you? What color is that? Spell the sound and name of the letter AB naturally. After class, I asked him if he still wanted to chat with foreigners on the computer. He said directly: I don't want it! It can be seen that the children enlightened at home actually saved a lot of hard-earned money for the old mother! ~
It is customary to judge after investigating the truth of all the facts. Next, study the teaching materials and research system. Yesterday, I found the introductory textbook of Cambridge University and showed it to my children. Basically, all nouns and adjectives in it can be expressed freely, but the sentence patterns are not accumulated enough. The defense who opposes the use of textbooks suggests that "textbooks are bones and picture books are meat" may be talking about sentence grammar. But most of Pearson's picture books are one sentence. Isn't that just practicing sentence pattern grammar? I believe the pros and cons will argue in my mind for a while, and I won't give up looking until I get close to the truth!
