When many mothers read the essays written by their children, they suddenly realize that the one they have worked so hard to raise is not a son, but a \”stepson.\” \”She is a little fat, and her belly is like a little rubber ball.\” ▽ \”Every time she picks me up late to buy clothes.\” ▽ \”Her hobbies are buying clothes and makeup.\” ▽ \”Mom\’s double eyelids are done in the store \”Mom always says she wants to lose weight, but she can\’t lose weight because she still eats too much…\” ▽The child who is crazier than the mother is of course still the child. Many children feel as if they are facing a formidable enemy when they hear that they need to write essays, and \”practicing writing\” becomes a \”purgatory\”. Why can\’t the child squeeze out a few words for a long time? In fact, writing is like a tree: \”observation and imagination\” are the roots, \”structure\” are the branches, and \”words and sentences\” are the flowers and leaves. What we see are the branches, flowers and leaves, but their nutrition comes from the roots. , Only when the roots are deep can the leaves be luxuriant. For primary school students, writing essays requires nothing more than these five abilities: observation ability, imagination ability, logical ability, word usage ability, and expression ability. Once these abilities are improved, writing will be done naturally. Today, I will share a few tips so that children can easily improve their writing skills at home. 1 Fugitive Catch Game – Cultivating Observation Skills Ming Ming\’s father is a criminal policeman and is usually very busy at work. As long as his father is at home, he will pester his father to play games. One day, my father wanted to play a game of \”catch the fugitive\” with him. Dad first took out a few photos, pointed to one of them, and said to Mingming: \”Yesterday, a robber escaped from prison. This is a portrait of the fugitive. Please observe carefully for a minute and try to remember his Look.\” After only looking at it for more than ten seconds, he patted his chest and said, \”I remember it!\” Dad put away the portraits and said, \”Now, you are an eyewitness. Please use your own memory to tell me. Write down the appearance of this fugitive. If you can let mom identify the fugitive from these portraits, then the case will be solved!\” Ming Ming immediately started writing: he has a long face, curly hair, and a big nose. With small eyes… it was written quickly, obviously. When he called his mother over, his father had already placed five portraits on the table. \”This female police officer, please find the fugitive based on Ming Ming\’s description!\” Mom read and read, looked and looked again, and said helplessly: \”Why does everyone have a long face, small curly hair, and a big nose?\” …\” Ming Ming was anxious on the side: \”It\’s different! That person has a mole on the right corner of his eye, and he also has windy ears, and his beard doesn\’t seem to be cleanly shaved…\” At this time, my mother found the \”fugitive\” in no time. Dad smiled and said: \”Look, if these details had been written in earlier, wouldn\’t the fugitive be caught quickly? Don\’t underestimate this game. Dad has done similar questions in the assessment of the Criminal Police Academy. It’s just to train the ability to observe things in detail.” Tips: When writing a composition, there is nothing to write about. The problem often lies in slow perception and turning a blind eye to the things around you. If you can observe carefully, you can collect a lot of information and writing materials, and you can write a unique composition. Parents usually guide their children to observe things around them and often ask them questions. They can also play the \”catch the fugitive game\” at home to let them observe carefully.Observation becomes an instinct. 2. Story blanking method – cultivating imagination. Many children grow up listening to stories, and the great poet Goethe is no exception. The difference is that his mother\’s way of telling stories is a bit special. For example, today, she is going to tell a somewhat bizarre story: A long time ago, a child was born to a poor farmer\’s family. The child was very beautiful, but he was \”not very\” normal\”. He could walk and talk as soon as he landed, but no one could understand what he said. What\’s even more strange is that this child goes out early and comes back late every day, quietly going out by himself, and then returning home obediently at night. No matter how the adults asked, he didn\’t say anything and just walked straight into the room, as if he was hiding some \”secret\” that couldn\’t be revealed. The witches in the town said he was a monster, and some said he was the incarnation of God, but no one could really figure out his origins. A curious young man decided to follow him to find out. So that day, the young man secretly followed the child out, but that night, neither of them came back! …When the story reached the most bizarre part, Goethe\’s mother suddenly stopped. She turned to the young Goethe: \”Who do you think this child is?\” \”Where did he go? What did he do?\” \”What happened to the young man who followed him?\” \”What story will happen next?\” …Little Goethe began to use his imagination, and sometimes went to discuss it seriously with his grandmother. His mother would not announce the plot of the next story until the next day. Inspired by his mother, little Goethe\’s imagination and creativity continued to improve, and he eventually became a famous German poet with extensive research achievements in music, painting, and science. Tips: When children write essays, don\’t stick to the current life and use more reasonable imagination, so that it will not be boring. To cultivate children\’s imagination, it is useless to rely on force alone. Only by appealing to the child\’s taste can the child have the motivation to imagine. Similarly, when watching TV, animation, or movies, parents can also stop and ask their children: \”How will the story develop next?\” The \”story blank method\” can effectively exercise children\’s imagination and divergent thinking. 3 Absurd Story Method – Cultivate Logic Ability Every weekend, Xiao Yang’s classmates like to go to his house to play. Xiao Yang\’s mother is a full-time housewife, but she always develops some interesting educational games. Today, she is going to lead the children to play a game called \”A Collection of Ridiculous Stories.\” My mother took out the four boxes she had prepared in advance and said: \”Now, please everyone write one thing first. Write down four different things according to \’person\’, \’time\’, \’place\’, and \’what to do\’.\” Words are classified into these four boxes. Wait a moment for everyone to randomly pick out one from each box and combine it into a new thing. If the combined thing is ridiculous, please use your imagination and start from the \’cause\’ , \’process\’ and \’result\’ to see if we can make a ridiculous story reasonable.\” Everyone immediately started writing with great interest and sorted the notes into four boxes. . The words Xiaoyi drew from the four boxes were – \”100 years ago/grandma/on the plane/playing a roller coaster\”. Everyone laughed after hearing this. Qiangqiang said: \”How could grandma go to the plane to play a roller coaster? Besides, how could there be a roller coaster on the plane?\” Xiaoyi thought for a while and said, \”Because this is a super grandma. 100 years ago, grandma was a flying fairy. , the first magic she learned was to ride a roller coaster on a plane.\” Everyone applauded Xiaoyi. Next, the children also drew various novel and weird sentences, such as \”In the last century / teacher / in the ant nest / hide and seek\”, and \”At 12 o\’clock in the evening / mother / in the playground / blowing bubble gum\”, but The children all came up with interesting and reasonable stories. Tips: To write something clearly is nothing more than writing down the time, place, people, and things, and things include the cause, process, and result. Sentences that seem very absurd on the surface can be easily understood by adding a certain element or several elements. This seemingly absurd game can be said to serve multiple purposes. It can cultivate children\’s logical thinking and integration skills. It can also encourage children to have sudden whims, guide them to pursue distinctive, novel and unique answers, and also exercise their association skills and creativity. . 4 Word Guessing Game Method – Cultivating word usage skills After entering fourth grade, more and more idioms appeared in the text, but Haohao could never remember them. His mother, who has watched many variety shows, came up with a \”guessing word game\” and planned to use the game to help him memorize words. The rules of the game are as follows: write the idioms on white paper, and let the mother set the questions. After Haohao reads the idioms, he can only let his father guess the idioms through body language performances without speaking. The first word my mother gave me was \”dance.\” Haohao moved his hands and feet, and his father guessed it right away. Mom gave the second word \”Golden Rooster Independence\”. Haohao stood on one foot and gestured with a chicken head with one hand. His father guessed that \”unique\” and \”stand out from the flock\” were wrong. Haohao had an idea and pointed to the golden rooster blessing characters posted on the wall during the New Year. His father blurted out: \”Golden rooster is independent!\” The third word is \”suspended beam thorn stock\”. Haohao hesitated for a moment, then moved his fingers and poked his butt, making his father confused. \”Mom, I can\’t act this word!\” \”Why can\’t I act? Dad, look at me!\” Mom said, walked to the table, and began to \”write homework\” seriously. After writing, she dozed off, but her head As soon as she lowered her head, she woke up suddenly and continued to write; as she continued to write, she dozed off again, and she poked her thigh hard and continued to write. Dad said: \”Haha, I know, hanging from the beam to pierce the buttocks!\” Haohao suddenly realized: It turns out that \”hanging from the beam to thorn the buttocks\” means this! Tips: You need to accumulate words for composition, and to accumulate words, you must first understand the meaning of the words. Some children cannot remember words because they simply do not understand the meaning of the words. Through the performance of the word guessing game, children can understand the word more thoroughly and remember it more deeply. The most important thing is that the game can be repeated continuously, but the words need to be constantly updated, so that the children can remember more words. 5. Picture book story method – cultivating expression skills. In order to cultivate Xiaomei\’s interest in reading, her parents often buy her a lot of picture books. Xiaomei also liked it very much in this environment.She likes to read, but as a second grader, she can only read some books with few words. Once, the school held a charity event and asked parents to take their children to the orphanage to visit the children there. While everyone was playing games lively, the attentive Xiao Mei found a little girl sitting in the corner and did not join in. The kind-hearted Xiaomei walked over to chat with the little girl and found out that the girl was visually impaired, so she couldn\’t play games or read books. If no one talked to her, she would feel very lonely. Xiaomei said: \”Then let me tell you a story! I have read a lot of picture books, and the stories in them are very interesting! Let me tell you the story of the little mouse and the big tiger first…\” Although it was a bit incoherent, Xiaomei said Mei talked very enthusiastically, and the little girl also smiled. More and more children came over to see what they were playing. Mom saw all this and found that this was a good opportunity to practice Xiaomei\’s expression skills. After that, her parents often took Xiaomei to play in the orphanage. Xiaomei still liked to tell stories to everyone. Slowly, she became more and more fluent in telling stories, and she also added some vivid performances. Later, Xiaomei participated in a storytelling competition in the city and won the first prize. Tips: Some people express the same thing vividly, while others express it boringly. What makes this difference is the ability to express. The stories in picture books are mainly expressed through pictures. As children grow older, the ability to express words becomes more and more important, especially in compositions. Good expression can make people feel the charm of language. Retelling picture book stories in language can improve children\’s language skills in practice and effectively improve their written expression ability.
