The \”best age for literacy\” is neither 2 nor 5 years old. Literacy is more likely to explode at this age.

Has your child begun to read? My Niuniu started to read in the second semester of middle school. I remember picking her up from school that day. When a mother in the same class heard about my family’s situation, she was very surprised and said: \”Oh my god, your child didn’t learn to read until he was 5 years old. Isn’t it too late? My son is 2 years old.\” He\’s already literate. Now he\’s 5 years old, and his literacy level is almost 1,000 words. As soon as he finished speaking, another mother in the same class became anxious: \”What? So awesome! What will happen to my 5-year-old who hasn\’t started to read yet?\” Huh? We also said that we would consider it after entering the upper class. \”In fact, we can see from the situation around us that the age at which children start to become literate is different, and their purposes are also different: some want to accumulate \”literacy\” early. Preparation for successfully entering elementary school; some are simply thinking about preparing early and breaking out early due to the \”sensitive period of literacy\”. Of course, no matter what the consideration is, if children can be taught literacy during the \”literacy sensitive period\”, the effect will definitely be the best. After all, this stage is the best period for literacy, and the literacy effect is also the best. So, when is the \”literacy sensitive period\”? 01 \”Literacy Sensitive Period\” Sun Ruixue mentioned in \”Capturing Children\’s Sensitive Period\”: When children reach the age of 5, words, symbols (pinyin), coloring, mathematical logic, reading and other aspects have entered a rapidly developing stage of sensitivity. Expect. China Children\’s Publishing House once held a seminar on bilingual international education for preschool children. In this seminar, there were many education experts from Beijing and Shanghai. They believed that the best age for children to learn Chinese characters is 3 -6 years old. If the child is under 3 years old, it is not recommended to teach him to read. Because children are still in a state of ignorance before the age of 3 and are not sensitive enough to symbols. It is too far-fetched to ask them to connect symbols and graphics too early. It will only make children feel boring and more likely to be rejected. In the same way, it is not good if the child is not literate after 5 years old. On the one hand, children are about to enter primary school, and literacy gaps can easily widen if they are introduced too late, putting too much pressure on the children; on the other hand, if the sensitive period is missed, the effect of literacy will be greatly reduced. During the most appropriate sensitive period, teaching children to do things that are consistent with their cognitive characteristics will be the best in terms of both literacy volume and literacy efficiency. A collection of literacy copybooks for all grades of primary school. It can be clearly seen from this that the \”best age for literacy\” is neither 2 nor 5 years old. The amount of literacy in this age group is more likely to explode. 02 It is not recommended to use flashcards for these literacy methods. My colleague once used flashcards for her children. At that time, she thought the ones on the market were not easy to use, so she went to great lengths to make them herself, and even carefully pasted the flashcards on the On the corresponding items, such as tables, chairs, books… Seeing that my home is full of stickers, I feel a special sense of accomplishment. As a result, the child only asked with interest at the beginning, and then completely turned a blind eye. This is because literacy cards simply emphasize words, and children cannot combine words with images, making learning very boring and inefficient. Literacy APP Many parents choose to use literacy APP. At first glance, the effect seems to be very good. In fact, this method will bring more hidden and more intense harm. The first point: it hurts the eyes.A child\’s retina cannot fully develop until he or she is around 12 years old. In order to protect a child\’s eyes, general recommendations are: children under 2 years old should not be exposed to electronic products at all; 3-6 year olds should have no contact with electronic products for up to 1 hour a day and about 15 minutes each time, otherwise they will It seriously affects the reserve of hyperopia. It is really not worth it to trade vision for literacy. The second point: Putting emphasis on fun and neglecting literacy is putting the cart before the horse. Many literacy apps are in the form of games and animations, which are full of fun. But precisely because it is so interesting, children’s focus is on the games and they ignore the real focus: literacy. If you check the literacy effect the next day, the result is likely to be: I don’t know three questions. Even if children can remember this word, they mostly rely on recalling the animation. Once there is no reminder, everything that should be forgotten will be forgotten. I have to say that Four-Five Quick Reading is very efficient, and the methods are diverse and classic. However, this does have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort for children with a certain amount of literacy. If it is used for children in the enlightenment stage, it is still a bit difficult. Graded reading is indeed a good choice to learn literacy through reading stories. Even if you read just because you like the stories, your children may be very interested. However, the prerequisite for graded reading is a certain amount of literacy. Otherwise, if 8 out of 10 words are unknown, it will be difficult for the child to continue. Therefore, graded reading is suitable for reading enlightenment for children with a certain level of literacy. If it is literacy enlightenment, it is really not suitable. 03 Literacy in this way has the best effect. The premise of teaching children to read is in line with the cognitive development rules of children. If we can further choose a method suitable for the brain development characteristics of children aged 3-6, then the effect will definitely be the best. From the perspective of the development rules of the whole brain, instead of simply emphasizing literacy, it is better to start with the characteristics of Chinese characters, because Chinese characters are a kind of pictographs. In essence, understanding Chinese characters is actually a process of recognizing graphics, observing and analyzing graphics. The reason for emphasizing observation and analysis is not only to accurately distinguish between \”big\” and \”too\”, \”she\” and \”him\”, \”qi\” and \”rush\”, which are similar in form, but also to promote the balanced development of the left and right brains of children. Organically combine logical analysis and image memory. Therefore, if you want to truly educate Chinese characters, you must start with the Chinese characters themselves. What I gave Niuniu to learn about Chinese characters was \”Interesting Chinese Characters that Children Love\”. This set of books has a total of 4 volumes, each with a different theme: \”One word, one animal\”, \”One word, one life\”, \”One word, one plant\”, \”One word, one nature\”. With pictures and texts, it not only teaches children Chinese characters can also allow children to understand the evolution of Chinese characters. For example, the word \”dragon\”, the book not only introduces its evolution process in detail: oracle bone inscriptions – bronze inscriptions – Xiaozhuan – official script – regular script. It also carefully adds illustrations of the character dragon, as well as its meaning, word combinations and related stories. With these aids, children can not only understand the formation and evolution rules of Chinese characters, but also master the correct use of Chinese characters. understanding will be deeper. And this is the real Chinese character enlightenment, which conforms to the cognitive rules and is accompanied by the blessing of interest. Children\’s literacy enlightenment is both interesting and efficient. The whole book is selected from 180 words that primary school students must know, usingAfter enlightening the Chinese characters in this way, you can then learn other Chinese characters, and the effect will be twice the result with half the effort. In addition to visible literacy efficiency and literacy, children\’s understanding of Chinese characters and words will also be improved to a higher level, fundamentally eliminating the problems of misremembering, confusing memorization, and unclear literacy. If your family has children in the sensitive period of literacy between 3 and 6 years old, this set of \”Interesting Chinese Characters for Children\” can surprise you regardless of whether they have started to read or not. The sensitive period for literacy is rare and hard to miss, so hurry up and prepare a set!
