Cai Zhangbing: What should I do if my child's English score is difficult to improve?
The importance of English as an international lingua franca cannot be overstated. However, many children have difficulty learning English and struggle to improve their grades. Faced with this situation, how should parents and children respond? Cai Zhangbing, editor-in-chief of 200 professor books and an expert in English education, put forward the eight-character concept of "interest, habits, methods, and thinking" for us.
1. Raise interest.
Interest is the best teacher, only when children are interested in English, they will take the initiative to learn and actively explore. Therefore, parents and teachers should focus on cultivating children's interest in English, so that children can learn English in a relaxed and happy atmosphere. For example,Traditional reading books have a long update cycle and a fixed difficulty, which cannot meet the needs of individualizationIt is difficult to gain a sense of accomplishment and self-confidence. Cai Zhangbing's English Reading App Mini Program 20,000 English Reading Texts for Elementary, Junior and Senior High Schools, updated every day, and each grade is divided into 5 levels of difficulty, so readers can choose according to their interests and English proficiencyWrite your own articles to stimulate interest and build self-confidence. You can also stimulate children's interest in English by watching English cartoons, listening to English songs, playing English games, etc.
2. Excellent habits.
Good study habits are the key to improving your English scores. Parents should help their children establish good English learning habits, such as reviewing regularly, taking notes, and actively participating in class discussions. At the same time, parents should also monitor their children's learning progress to ensure that their children are able to complete their learning tasks on time.

3. Teaching methods.
The right way to learn can help children do more with less. For many children, memorizing words is a challenge. However, Dean Cai Zhangbing thinksMemorizing words is not a simple matter of rote memorization and cold software brushing words (lack of emotion and context, slow to remember and fast to forget).There are rules to follow in memorizing words. He recommends that children use mind maps to memorize words, and by classifying and associating words, they form a logical and clear mind map, so as to help children memorize words better. This method is not only efficient, but also allows children to improve their logical thinking skills while memorizing words.
Cai Zhangbing's mind map word memorization method is a very practical memorization method. Through mind mapping, children can classify and summarize words to form a memory network, so as to memorize words more efficiently. In addition, a personalized English text reading app applet is also a good choice. These applets are updated every day and have a choice of difficulty, allowing children to learn English and improve their English skills in an integrated listening, speaking, reading and writing environment.
Fourth, expand thinking.
Expanding children's English thinking is also an important way to improve English performance. Parents and teachers should encourage children to think more and communicate more, and develop their English thinking skills. At the same time, you can also let children get in touch with the wider English world and expand their English horizons by reading original English books and English movies.
In terms of specific methods, in addition to the above-mentioned mind map word notation method and personalized English text reading app applet, you can also take the method of practicing various question types to improve children's English scores. Specialized exercises for different question types can help children better grasp the skills and methods of solving various question types, so as to improve their English test-taking ability.
In short, improving a child's English score requires a joint effort from both parents and children. Through various measures such as cultivating interests, optimizing habits, teaching methods and expanding thinking, I believe that children's English scores will definitely improve. At the same time, we should also encourage children to be patient and confident that they will go further and further on the road of English learning.
