When my son was just in elementary school, I enrolled him in an English tutoring class twice a week.
But he didn't expect that after the first year of class, he was persuaded by the teacher to quit. The other party said euphemistically, there are more boys in the class, and my son is more naughty, which affects classroom discipline and even affects the effect of class, and ** they pay attention to the teacher's teaching performance, so it is helpless to let us leave.
I expressed my understanding of the teacher's decision and took my son home. I thought to myself, wouldn't we be able to learn English without the tutorial class?
I hired a family English instructor to help us make a medium- and long-term plan for English learning, and then I was responsible for breaking down the plan into plans, and then implementing them into months, weeks, and days, and the final task was to supervise and accompany the children to carry it out.
From being persuaded to quit by the tutoring class to silently starting family English learning at home, it has continued until now, the child is in the fourth grade, and English has become his favorite subject, and he has never scored 95 points in every exam, and the usual exams are basically stable at 98 points.
How do we do it?To put it simply, yesListen, speak, read, and write every day,(Writing didn't start until the second semester of the third grade),These four aspects ensure that the child's English performance is steadily improved!
Listen:Squeeze time to input a lot of English listening materials, in the past two years, we have listened to picture books, chapter books, etc.: Peppa Pig, Heineman, Oxford Tree, I Can Read, Winnie the Witch, Peter the Cat, Fly Guy, Henry and Mudge, Nate the greatest, The Boxcar Children and so on.
It should be noted that the listening content should be listened to in advance, that is, while listening to the content, each lesson is repeated 4-5 times, and then used as listening input after familiarization.
Some parents may say that we don't have so much time to listen to English, in fact, time is squeezed out, our children are now in the fourth grade, and there is a lot of homework every day, so we squeeze out fragments of time to listen, such as brushing teeth and washing, eating, playing and resting, English will be played as a background sound.
said:Some parents are particularly anxious, the child has just learned not long ago, and urges the child to "speak" every day, in fact, English is a natural process of acquisition, can not be rushed, but a trickle of water, after the input is sufficient, to a certain time, the child will naturally speak.
My son was no exception, and one night, more than half a year after we were running a family English learning program, he suddenly said, "Mom, I can repeat the pink pig." Then I began to tell a small story in English, I was stunned at the time, and the back was out of control, every night before going to bed, the child had to tell a paragraph, I recorded ** at the time, this is a record of my son's love of learning!
Read:When the English listening is carried out for a period of time, the content you have read can start to be read, for example, our family is the first choice of Oxford tree and Heinemann synchronous production, 1-2 books a day, 4 days to change.
In fact, it is not necessary to refer to the Oxford tree and Heineman, as long as the child likes to listen to the material. We have read three levels of Heinemann and eight levels of the Oxford tree, a total of hundreds of books, and we are currently reading "The Boxcar Boy".
WriteSince the second semester of the third grade, we have added more content to the children, mainly to practice English calligraphy and do basic grammar problems.
However, during this period, we also found that one of the problems of my son's learning English is that he is more inclined to virtuality, stories, and too little contact with popular science English content.
However, when we added RAZ, the child already had a certain foundation in English, so he started directly from the H level, listened to one article every day, and then did the corresponding workbook, did more than 20 articles, and found that he could understand each one and the workbook was all right, and then changed to the next level, and continued to listen + do questions.
If the child does not have a foundation in English learning, it is recommended to start from the AA level, listen to 4-5 books a day, listen to each book for 4-5 days, and then replace the next one, listen to the content that you have seen, you can give the child as listening input, the younger children keep 1 hour of input every day, and the children in the upper grades of primary school try to squeeze time to listen. If you keep going in this cycle, your child's English grades will definitely not be wrong!
In addition, some parents asked, can I see raz information?You can directly click on the component link below, **After installation, you can see all levels of RAZ picture books.
The ABC Reading app is a collection of 2,000+ picture books from AA-Z6 themes (Science, Exploration, Life, Story, People & Society, Nature, children of different levels and hobbies) can find suitable learning content here.
In addition,The app also has an "ear grinding" settingFunctions such as "AI speech recognition and correction", "reading picture books" and "memorizing words", gamified teaching design and habit formation punch card system cultivate children's interest in English learning, develop continuous reading and learning habits, and children can easily operate by themselves, and learn independently without worrying to their mothers, and easily achieve the goal of helping children improve their comprehensive English ability of listening, speaking, reading words, and words.
It can be said thatWith a set of raz materials + persistence + methods, the child's English score will not be bad, I really recommend it to everyone.
Finally, I would like to say that although we have been persuaded to quit by the English tutoring class, but we maintain listening, speaking, reading and writing + scientific use of English learning tools every day, and the child's English has become his dominant subject. At present, my son is already preparing for the KET exam and is aiming to pass the exam in May next year!
