From elementary school to junior high school, I also worked tirelessly to take Xiao Xianyu to countless extracurricular classes, but it wasn't until she entered high school that I found that 90% of the extracurricular tutoring was not only wasted time and energy, but also useless.
If I could do it all over again, as a mother of a high school student, I would do something completely different from what I used to do.
If you only benchmark the college entrance examination, in fact, in the primary school stage, you don't have to travel and go to those tutorial classes at all, but only do a good job in three aspects of training.
Numeracy, reading and speed reading skills, and writing.
Let's start with the first one – computing power. After entering high school, if you want to score more than 130 points in mathematics, you need to have a certain amount of mathematical literacy, and I can't find a better word to explain it.
There is no way to force this, there is a yes, there is no. However, children with mathematical talents are in the minority, so don't mind it in particular.
And most children only need to get the scores of middle and low-grade questions by studying hard and Xi, then it is not a big problem to reach 120 points in the college entrance examination. But in addition to the child's good learning habits, one of the most important abilities is XiXi ability to calculate.
Xiao Xianyu's calculation ability is relatively poor, and the results of each math test are like a roller coaster, with a full score of 150, and she is lucky when she scores more than 100 points, because the questions will be correct. When you score 60 points, you are unlucky, and you will not be able to calculate the questions wrong, and the questions that you can't will naturally not be.
This is the result of the fact that the primary school did not put much effort into cultivating numeracy skills, and we always let her go to some math extracurricular improvement classes in primary school, and now this kind of course has long disappeared in the double reduction, but the scene of the class at that time was very hot.
After all the extracurricular tutoring classes in the six years of primary school, Xiao Xianyu's math scores not only did not improve a littleOn the contrary, because of ignoring the most basic arithmetic ability, I suffered a big loss in the process of learning and Xi in junior high school and high school, and I couldn't do difficult problems, and I always miscalculated simple questions.
The second is the ability to read and read quickly. It's not hard to develop this ability, and it saves you money and worry. It is to take the child to the bookstore and library more often, and arrange an independent bookshelf or bookcase for the child at home to set off the atmosphere of reading and let him take the initiative to read.
When you read more books and read them, your reading ability, comprehension ability, and reading speed will naturally increase.
There is no doubt that the benefits of reading books are very numerous, and the more books you read, the ability to understand the words will gradually increase, especially for writing.
One of the most important points is that it can improve reading speed, and the benefits of this ability to Xi many mothers are not well understood.
The amount of questions in the college entrance examination is not large, but the text content that needs to be read is very large. If your child's reading speed is too slow and his comprehension of the text is weak, it will increase the time to answer the questions, resulting in the end of the final exam time and the questions have not been completed.
If a candidate has weak calculation ability, reading speed can not keep up, and will make mistakes in mathematics exams, and Chinese and other liberal arts exams are slow to read questions and weak text comprehension ability, and finally lead to incomplete questions, it is very dangerous for the high school entrance examination.
The last thing is writing, which is a tangible experience. The words of the little salted fish are usually written carefully and can barely be read, but once the exam time is tight, the volume is messy like a worm crawling.
Not to mention that the teacher couldn't understand what she was answering, I took her test paper and read it several times without understanding what she was writing.
Xiao Xianyu is a liberal arts student, and he chose pure literature and land politics, and there are a lot of short-answer questions in these three exams, and a large section of text writing is crooked there, not to mention the teacher, I don't even bother to look at it.
Moreover, 50 points for the big essay and 10 points for the small essay in the college entrance examination are very important. If the grading teacher gets a test paper, which is neat and neatly written, he will definitely have a very good impression, and the 40-point composition will have to rise by one or two points.
But if you get a scribbled exam paper, the impression score will be deducted first, and then look at the content of your essay, those sentences that you can't even recognize, can you give a high score?So I think my little salted fish has to lose at least seven or eight points in the total score of each exam.
Although she would be told to write well every time, she agreed, and even usually could write well, but once the time was not enough during the exam, she would dance, and the paper was full of ghost drawings.
From the perspective of the academic pressure of junior high and high school, the time to practice words is very limited, so it is best to let children practice words well during primary school and develop a good Xi habit of neat handwriting.
In addition to wasting money and time, the most terrible thing is to find out that those classes are useless at all when they are in high school.
The three abilities mentioned above are very important for the high school entrance examination, in fact, you can practice well without going to extracurricular classes.
Let's talk about computing ability first, buy some calculation books, do a few articles a day, and parents help to pinch the time to see the accuracy rate.
As for the ability to read and read quickly, it is to read more books on a regular basis, and children can read whatever they like, as long as it is suitable for children to read, it does not necessarily have to be a masterpiece.
The last item is easier to practice calligraphy, buy a few calligraphy books and practice a few articles a day. If your child is interested in calligraphy with a hard pen, it is best to follow along.
These experiences are all the pits I stepped on when I cultivated small salted fish in the past, and I will share them for your reference.
In fact, primary school does not have to spend too much energy and money, and even if it does, it is likely to be wasted. As long as you do a good job in the cultivation of the above three abilities, you will not be held back by the Xi in junior high and high school.
