How to cultivate children\’s sense of language enlightenment from an early age?

Why do some children read the same text aloud with full emotion while others just read the words? Is it because they have different personalities? Do those children who memorize the same ancient poems have a harder time than others have memory problems? When writing essays, some children squeeze out words like toothpaste and their words are dry. Is it because they have no desire to express themselves? When reading English, are those children who can guess the general meaning of new words based on the context inherently smarter? What distinguishes these children may not be their IQ, memory, or even their level of effort, but their sense of language. Language sense sounds mysterious, but it actually refers to the sensitivity and proficiency of language (characters), which is reflected in all aspects of listening, speaking, reading and writing. In the formation process of language sense, environment accounts for most factors. But this does not mean that only children from scholarly families have a good sense of language. In fact, there is a way to develop your language sense, which is simple and free – listening to the radio. Why radio? First, let’s talk about why we listen to the radio instead of watching TV. When the same news is broadcast on TV, we mainly obtain information with the help of images. When it is broadcast on the radio, we can only rely on what we hear with our ears to imagine, which stimulates the brain to a different degree. Research shows that compared with listening to the radio, the activity of the frontal lobe of the brain is significantly weakened when watching TV. Therefore, some doctors say that watching too much TV can easily lead to Alzheimer\’s disease, while listening to the radio can prevent Alzheimer\’s disease. Therefore, listening to the radio is a good choice to stimulate children\’s brain development. In addition, in an era full of visual stimulation, listening to the radio can also reduce children\’s addiction to screens to a certain extent and protect their eyesight. From Spoken Language to Written Language Many children don’t like reading. Memorizing texts and writing compositions are difficult because it is difficult to jump directly from the expression habits of daily conversations to the expression habits of written language. The advantage of broadcast language is that it is more colloquial than written language and more written than spoken language. It is a good transition between the two. Now turn on the Voice of China on the Central People\’s Broadcasting Station and listen carefully for ten minutes. You will find that the sentences spoken by the host are clear, fluent and emotional. Therefore, even if the content of the broadcast is not of interest to the children, after listening for a long time, the children will You will also subconsciously become accustomed to this relatively formal and civilized expression. In order to facilitate the audience\’s understanding and association, the contextual logic of the radio script is very strong. Therefore, listening to the radio more can also make the language expression more fluent and logical, and strengthen children\’s logical thinking ability. Learn new words at any time. When your child is growing up, you must have had this moment of surprise: \”Who taught him this? Why did he say this?\” Maybe the child himself doesn\’t remember where he learned it, because it is He remembered it unconsciously. The advantage of radio is that it allows people to receive a lot of information unconsciously. Whether your kids are playing with toys, eating, or drawing, leave the radio on. When he was distracted or resting, he would always listen to it sporadically. If he asks you out of curiosity, you can explain to him that a little home teaching can also enhance the parent-child relationship. If he doesn\’t care, some things will be stored deep in his memory to prepare for another encounter in the future. Feel the rhythm and rhythm of ancient poetryMeans to enhance the musicality of poetry include rhythm, tone and rhyme. The beauty of ancient poetry lies in the realm, structure, words and rhythm. The first three require knowledge to understand, but rhythm does not. As long as you can appreciate music, you can appreciate rhythm. I still remember the tape called \”Three Hundred Tang Poems – Reading with Children\’s Voice\” when I was a child. It spent many afternoons with me. When I studied ancient poetry after going to school, I found that many ancient poems were listened to as children\’s songs when I was a child, and they are very friendly and natural to learn. Even many years later, when I read sentences like \”On the seven cold strings, listening quietly to the cold wind in the pines\” and \”The bells of the Cangcang Bamboo Forest Temple are ringing late\”, all that sounded in my mind were the sounds of children. Read aloud. So if you want your child to learn ancient poetry more easily in the future, there is no need to force him to recite it early. If he develops resistance, it may be counterproductive. It is better to play ancient poems read by children at home, start with the simplest five-character quatrains, and let the voices of other children lead them into the door of ancient poetry. If a free Mandarin teacher takes an adult, such as you who are reading this article, to live in Iceland for a few years, you will definitely learn to speak Icelandic. Imitation is our instinct, and children’s ability to imitate is particularly strong. Therefore, creating a good environment and introducing good imitation objects is crucial to children’s growth. This is what Mencius\’s mother said in her three moves. The radio hosts speak first-class Mandarin. When you turn on the radio, a group of people with the best Mandarin skills in the country can serve as invisible tutors for their children for free and teach them to speak Mandarin. Why not? Mandarin is standardized. You can tell whether a word has a lateral sound or a nasal sound, a front nasal sound or a back nasal sound as long as you read it. Learning Pinyin will be extremely easy. And those children with strong dialects often have difficulty learning Pinyin. What to listen to? How to listen? In terms of equipment, if you have a radio at home, you can use it and listen to the programs of the Central People\’s Broadcasting Station. If not, you can tune the TV to a broadcast channel, or you can use your mobile phone or computer to play it through speakers. In terms of content, it is recommended to take the form of \”news + ancient poems + stories\”. News can expand knowledge, increase vocabulary, cultivate logical thinking skills, and learn to refine expressions. Ancient poems cultivate a sense of beauty, and stories stimulate imagination. You can download some audio apps, which have many audios suitable for children. It should be noted that children should never be asked to sit and listen to the radio as if it were a task. If your child wants to watch TV and play games, make an appointment with him or her. When the time is over, you have to do something else, such as playing with toys or drawing. At this time, you can turn on the radio and tell him that his parents want to listen. You can play stories and ancient poems before going to bed, and you can also play stories to wake your children up in the morning. Slowly make listening to the radio a habit for the whole family, a tutor to assist parents and teachers, and a good partner for children as they grow up. With the company of such a good teacher and good partner, children will have a better sense of language, stronger text understanding and expression, and will benefit from it throughout their lives, whether in study or life.
