Wen Ning's mother enlightened words
As a mother who attaches great importance to English enlightenment 10 years ago, she has successfully cultivated an English scholar with strong English listening, speaking, reading and writing skills.
However, I miscalculated, Erbao's road to learning English was very bumpy!
I don't like to listen to audio, and I like watching cartoons, but I usually have almost no output, so I focus on reading.
Before the age of 6, Erbao just listened to me read English picture books to him, and there was no interaction. By the age of 6, he was suddenly willing to interact, but new problems arose.
Many times, he wanted to understand words other than picture books, but I couldn't remember them for a while, and I had to open my mobile phone to look up, but I often couldn't find a satisfactory answer.
For example, if you use a puzzle to put together a villain pattern, do you use human and person?Or is it something else?No accurate information found.
When I do extended reading, I can only do the most basic and simple extension because of my limited ability.
For example, take out a few objects and review and consolidate the sentence patterns you have just learned.
However, when there is no physical object, I am blind, and I don't know how to guide further.
In addition, choosing picture books is also a problem.
I just got a new set of picture books, and Erbao is very interested and willing to read along. But when he finished reading it once and re-read it a second time to consolidate it, he was a little impatient and thought that it was boring to repeat it all the time.
When he changed to a new picture book, he said that he was not interested in it for a while, and then said that it was too difficult and he didn't want to read it. What type and difficulty picture books are suitable for him to read?
I am discovering more and more the limitations of my abilities and the differences between my children. Erbao doesn't like to listen to audio like Dabao, is good at active learning and absorbing knowledge, and needs to be pushed to learn.
I feel very anxious about this!The plan was to find a scaffolding to break down this barrier.
When searching for experience, I found that many parents praised ABC Reading, and the children who read it have improved a lot. I've heard about this for a long time, and I thought I was able to teach my children English well, so I didn't pay much attention to it. Now that I found that I had to do it, I decided to give it a try.
I first ** ABC reading, let Erbao try it, see his reaction, and then decide whether to buy it.
What makes me happy is that Erbao likes to read very much, because the words are very simple, there are **, there are scores, there are many interactive exercises, you can also earn gold coins, there is also a space community, and there are little turtle pets, all of which are within his ability and interests.
Erbao said that he could insist on reading every day, earn gold coins, and change equipment. Seeing his excited appearance and enthusiastic learning energy, I didn't say a word, and quickly bought two years of SVIP, includingThere are more than 2,000 phonics + companion animation + raz picture books
In fact, Erbao has really fulfilled his promise, insisting on it every day, and even reading a few more books by himself, and he is very focused when he reads. I was very pleased to see how he was doing. I deeply feel the good of ABC Reading, and I am no longer anxious about taking children to learn English.
ABC Reading's learning mode is "Listening to Picture Books - Learning Words - Reading Picture Books - Practicing Picture Books", and "Listening, Reading, Reading, and Practice" completes a closed loop of learning, and we do not need to find ways to let children read and interact with each other, and children can naturally complete each activity.
Listen to picture books,It is to let children watch**, listen to audio, and understand the content of the picture book from beginning to end. If there is a new word, it will be highlighted ** and phonetics, which will attract the attention of the child.
Learn words,It is to provide corresponding **+ pronunciation, so that children can recognize and read new words, and pave the way for the later reading sentences.
Read picture books,It is to show ** + voice, so that children can read complete sentences sentence by sentence, which together is a picture book.
Practice picture books,It is through the selection of ** or pronunciation, reading and other forms, so that children can review the learned content and play a role in reviewing and consolidating.
These 4 steps do not take much time, only about 5 minutes. The form of each step is different, it is fresh, and the difficulty is not great, and the child has the ability to learn, so he is willing to take the initiative to read and interact.
At this point, it relieves me a lot of pressure, I just need to accompany him, encourage and help him when he encounters small difficulties, and I don't have to spend a lot of words and energy.
"From easy to difficult, step by step, review the old and learn the new".This is the only way to learn English. When we take our children to learn by ourselves, because the resources are insufficient, the way is too fixed, and the pronunciation is not vivid, we are often rejected by the children, but ABC Reading changes the tricks to let the children learn, and the effect is obviously different.
Break out of traditional learning patterns and embed words in context, rather than learning in isolation, the form is lively, and the child has a sense of substitution.
For example, learning the word "flower" is placed in the sentence "rain on flowers" and illustrated with pictures, so that children can associate the context with ** and form English thinking.
Words are repeated frequently in different ways, so that children gradually become familiar with unfamiliar words.
For example: listening to picture books, learning words, reading picture books, practicing picture books, parent-child interaction words and sentences, review games, word pk, space community, etc.
When Erbao has a fear of difficulties, I will encourage him to look back more and more smoothly, he found that this is really the truth, the more he reads, the easier it is, the fear of difficulties disappears, and he has a greater sense of accomplishment after overcoming himself.
It also provides accompanying animation, which makes the ** in the picture book move in the form of animation, which is easier to attract children's attention. Coupled with the full English voice, it can create a small English environment and immerse children in learning English.
There are also phonics courses, including word preview, picture book reading, picture book reading, and fun tests, which cover everything from learning to practice, so that children can master the rules of phonics well. After learning phonics, children will have the ability to read picture books on their own.
The variety of forms ensures the child's learning effect, learning fast, learning more, pronunciation accurate, and there is visible progress every day, so I naturally will not be anxious.
When many children are learning English, they always fish for three days and dry their nets for two days, or they are afraid of learning and can't moveIt's often because you don't get positive feedback.
ABC Reading uses a lot of ways to encourage your child, giving your child instant feedback, and the child is very motivated.
For example, beginners choose to be rated as stars based on encouragement.
Every time a child reads a word or sentence, there is a congratulatory language such as "greatest, excellent, perfect", and then two or three stars are given, and then a blue or red star is displayed. Each time you complete a mission, you will get a certain amount of gold, which can be exchanged for your favorite equipment in the space shop.
These small rewards are important for children. Children are very simple-minded, and with a little encouragement, they can improve to a great extentEmotional value, if you are in a good mood, you are naturally willing to keep reading.
Erbao has the motivation to persist every day, that is, he likes little stars and wants to earn gold coins for equipment. I don't need to be anxious, my child can take the initiative to learn, and I don't need to be anxious.
RAZ is a very well-known graded reading material, and many English students read chapter books step by step from RAZ. ABC Reading is the only genuine RAZ in China, with more than 2,000 picture books at AA-Z level, very complete.
RAZ has 6 themes and 27 levelsNo matter what level or hobbies you have, you can find the right reading content. Start reading at the lower level and spiral up to the higher level.
Now Erbao reads 3 books a day, and it takes more than 2 years to read 2,000 books at this pace. In fact, at the advanced level, you can only read one book a day, and you can use it for a longer period of time, from 6 to 10 years old.
In 2-4 years, I don't have to think about which set of books I need to replace in the middle, and I can read it and finish it, which must be too worry-free.
If you don't know which level to read at the beginning, you can take an introductory test, and the system will automatically assign the grade, so that the child can learn in the comfort zone, which will achieve better results.
Erbao has a certain foundation in English, but it is relatively weak, and he reads directly from the AA level, which happens to be in the comfort zone. During this period of reading, I found that it is more difficult to read AA level if you have no foundation at all, so don't take a big risk and take your time.
Write at the end:6-year-old Erbao has been reading ABC reading for a while, the reading experience is very good, he likes to read, and has really improved his English ability, when I accompany him to study, what I feel is joy and relaxation, no longer have to rack my brains to coax learning like before, to a large extent, it has relieved my anxiety, it's beautiful!
