Many parents will realize this, but now there are so many online resources that parents feel at a loss.
In fact, spelling can be understood no matter which set of textbooks you learn (whether you can really master it is another matter). However, we should consider the unique learning environment in China.
How do children in China learn to spell naturally? Pronunciation learning and training is a long process. Some children have learned the standard of phonics and basically established their English spelling level, but they haven't read much since. Children have no chance to practice, and the professional skills of spelling they have learned are abandoned. Finally, I was fooled by the organization to learn the international phonetic notation.
At present, there are two main types of natural spelling teaching in institutions. One is to integrate with the contents of textbooks and gradually learn and train natural spelling in one or three years; Some institutions are very efficient and learn to spell naturally in two weeks.
The question is: Can you learn monosyllabic spelling, disyllabic spelling and polysyllabic spelling in two weeks? Or what's the point of not knowing words but spelling pinyin?
If the child's parents are diligent, of course, they have learned the spelling rules. What about the future?
The answer is ...
Read a lot (read aloud) and keep reading every day. Children can spell pinyin correctly when learning and training natural pinyin, and parents and children are so happy. But when it comes to reading, the basic knowledge of spelling cannot be completely changed, so you must always remind yourself.
Reading aloud is a very necessary step, so we should attach great importance to reading aloud training. Apply spelling standards to actual vocabulary as soon as possible: extract abstract and somewhat messy spelling standards. In many picture books, I kept honing until I kept my mouth shut.
Children's picture books choose graded reading materials, which are aimed at their own children. Children may not like the books chosen by their parents, so they should gradually find their interest in learning. Amazon's books are highly recommended here, which are more comprehensive. Readers can search Icanread series and Stepintoreading series, and the Oxford Reading Tree is also very good.
The key and basic purpose of pronunciation is to read articles. If you stay away from reading articles and learn spelling only by spelling English words, it will be difficult to achieve the effect of "reading words and writing words" and you will not realize the long-term help of spelling in English learning.
A large number of English listening typing enlightens English from English listening, from giving children pure English listening materials, grinding their ears and then guiding them to acquire the ability to concentrate on morphemes.
The differences in the concepts of tones, initials, finals and morphemes depend on whether they have the ability to detect, identify and manipulate the phonetic pronunciation of words.
English-speaking children will slowly listen to catchy children's songs when they are born, and then they will listen to them more often in kindergarten, so when they are 5 years old, they will change to a lettersound mill with 26 English letters and listen to it for another year, and then learn to practice spelling.
Pinyin spelling is closely related to spelling.
Let the children try to spell it according to the pronunciation. It takes a lot of time, but it is a prerequisite for reading the article. 10 minute daily training (drill).
I have always felt that the word drilling, especially the brand image and the significance of drilling, must be drilled continuously to become a pile. Just like training, you must persevere to be effective.
Spelling can't solve every spelling problem, but you should know and apply spelling rules. Children with good memory and poor memory will practice again and again! Children whose English is Chinese are still practicing natural spelling in the sixth grade, and second language students have to practice hard.
Before the second grade, overseas children need to learn and train natural spelling and take comprehensive tests. Of course, if children in China want to master the same level of natural spelling and think about how long it will take them to use Chinese Pinyin flexibly, they will understand this.
Learn letters first, and then spell rules and training cross-develop. At first, I trained professional rules, then continued to practice by learning phonicsreader, and gradually switched to mastering spelling rules in reading and English listening.
In this process, parents must be careful not to regard it as a complicated and severe learning goal and treat it with a playful attitude. Because children of this age mainly study with a playful attitude.
Parents control their own rhythm, which takes about 15-30 minutes every day. If children have a pleasant trip for interactive training, they will probably play a little longer, and it will be a bit boring to recognize letters or remember standards, so come a few minutes less and keep continuity.
The general principle is to conform to the laws and abilities of children's cognitive development, without coercion and reprimand. It doesn't matter if it's interrupted for a few days, as long as it lasts for 2 consecutive days.
If you want to improve your baby's English academic ability, it is very appropriate to take our own natural spelling course, including children's learning needs for natural spelling from Reception, Year 1, Year2, or you can choose "cost-effective first"-picture book teaching class for young people.
