No matter how you learn, you can't master a language just by mastering the methods.

In Britain and America, the function of natural spelling is to make children read better.

Children in Britain and America begin to learn letters at the age of four, and they can basically communicate with adults and know everything.

In other words, what foreign children have to do is to match what they have heard and said with what is written in the book.

For example, an English child saw the word bag in a book, and he pronounced B-A-G with the rules of natural spelling. Oh, this is the pronunciation of bag! It can correspond at once, because in his mind, there is already the sound of the bag, but it corresponds to the words in the book, which is very simple.

Because these children already have a lot of ability to listen and distinguish sounds, and English is their mother tongue, it is naturally not difficult to learn.

For our children in China, if they don't have the ability to listen and distinguish sounds, can they learn by rote and memorize the rules of natural spelling, so as to achieve the degree of "spelling when they see words, listening to words and writing"?

Obviously you can't.

When children in China learn natural spelling, they must first have a certain ability of listening and distinguishing sounds, and then they can learn natural spelling only after they know 26 letters.

You should also listen, read and spell naturally during your study, and you can't stop, so that the effect can really appear.

Otherwise, relying on the natural spelling course of English training classes twice a week and listening and reading less after class will not achieve the magical effect that many parents expect.

Therefore, once again, it is essential to learn to spell naturally and read English picture books and graded books.

In Gai Zhaoquan's "Being the Best English Learning Planner for Children", she specifically said this sentence for the study of natural spelling:

1, natural spelling is a tool for learning to read, not memorizing words, but reading words. Reading words by reciting is a foreign language learner's explanation of this native English learning method.

At most, it can partially realize the function of "reading, writing and listening to words", but it can't solve the pronunciation and spelling problems of all words.

There is a premise for learning natural spelling, that is, you must have a large listening vocabulary. This is also the reason why I have always emphasized the accumulation of listening vocabulary before 3000.

3. Natural spelling can solve at most 70%-80% of "reading by seeing words", because there are so many regular words in English, and some irregular words need to be memorized as a whole.
