Studies have shown that 3-6 years of age is a sensitive period for children's language. If a child learns a new language at this stage, the acquisition mechanism of the new language will be highly consistent with that of the mother tongue, and the learning will be fast and good.
My baby became interested in English when she was 4 years old, and she especially likes to listen to English nursery rhymes, and she will sing along with them every time. Later, I saw that the English early education class that the neighbor's child had signed up for was good, so I also enrolled him in one, and spent more than 10,000 yuan before and after, but he almost didn't learn anything.
Later, I realized that I had used the wrong method, and the following was the correct way to open the English enlightenment.
According to the actual situation of the child, establish a suitable English enlightenment roadmap.
- 6-year-old "ear grinding" stage
"One listening, two speaking, three reading and four writing" is the order in which human beings learn their mother tongue, and it is also the natural law of language learning. The most important thing in learning any language is to learn the sounds of that language.
Therefore, the first task of the English initiation stage is:Let your child listen a lotto accumulate a certain sense of language and a simple amount of words.
6-9 years oldChew your tonguestage
This stage is the best time to read alongside and imitate tones and tones.
After learning 26 letters, children can learn 20 basic sentence patterns and 220 sight words.
9-12 years old basic communication stage
At this stage, most children can already think and communicate in English, but the language is not very smooth and the words are not standardized. Parents don't have to worry too much about this, as long as the child has the courage to express it, it is enough.
At this stage, the English enlightenment is basically already there"Upper rail"Finish.
Studies have found that if a language is acquired more than 30% of the time, it is possible to acquire it as a mother tongue. Especially during the critical period of children's language learning, if you canEstablish a good English environment for familiesImmersing children in an environment close to their mother tongue will inevitably help them fully develop and improve their language skills.
The first thing that children have the most contact with is their family, and parents can teach their children English from the titles of family members. For example: Daddy is "daddy", mom is "mummy", grandpa is "grandpa", and grandma is "grandma". Then teach the child how to speak English about the furniture objects and everyday activities at home.
Parents can also put English stickers at home, each item is marked with English words, and often play English nursery rhymes, so as to communicate with their children in English and create a good English atmosphere.
PS: The most important thing in the enlightenment stage isPersistence + encouragementInsist on repeating learning with children every day, and when they try to speak English, they praise loudly and loudly to improve their self-confidence.
The Ebbinghaus memory curve tells us that if we don't strengthen revision, people will forget quickly.
Many parents find that the English early education class for their children has just learned a lot of words, but as long as they stop for a while, the child will soon forget (just like my baby, it cost more than 10,000 yuan, and it is basically 0 foundation).
Therefore, parents need to formulate for the babyReasonable study planning, consolidate and expand more in daily life, and then improve children's English level.
Seeing this, many parents said: I don't know English, how can I do it?
Wu Minlan, a well-known education expert, once pointed outThe focus of English reading for young children is to make children have a good impression of English and enjoy reading. Once the interest and motivation for reading in English is established, children will spontaneously develop the habit of reading in English in the future.
On the road to children's English enlightenment, parents are not the only ones to learn**, but also through English enlightenment apps, English nursery rhymes, English animations, English picture books and other enlightenment learning.
Of course, when English is initiated, parents must help their children choose high-quality English resources. Take the app as an example, we have also tried a lot of English enlightenment apps, but we have not encountered a very suitable one. Until it was discoveredabc readingMy child picked up his English again.
I have been learning on and off for more than 3 months, and although I have only memorized more than 300 words, the child is very interested, and he speaks it well, no worse than the children in the early education class.
What's so good about this app?
1. Scientific planning and reasonable arrangement
ABC Reading is able to be based on:Child'sAge and entry teststo determine the appropriate reading level.
Although my child is 6 years old and has learned English for a long time, he has basically forgotten all about it in the later stage, and we can only start from Level A after testing.

Older children can also do advanced exercises and memorize words.
