First grade primary school students: What is the difficulty in learning pinyin letters?

First-grade primary school students, starting from the second unit of the Chinese textbook, enter the study of pinyin letters. In previous textbooks, only two units were arranged for the study of pinyin letters, which took about four weeks to complete. In this year\’s Chinese textbook, three units are arranged for the study of pinyin letters, and it takes about 6 weeks to complete the study. This shows the importance of pinyin letters in the first-grade Chinese learning process. So, what is the difficulty in learning Pinyin letters? 01 Syllable spelling practice begins after learning the six single vowels \”a o e i u ü\” and the initial consonants \”b p m f\”. Some children are relatively unfamiliar with syllable spelling, and in teaching practice, they are always unable to spell it out correctly. This requires increasing the intensity of practice and finding more time for students to practice. By increasing the amount of spelling practice, you can achieve the goal of correct spelling. As the number of initial consonants learned later increases, the difficulty of the exercises will increase. Especially after adding tones, it becomes more difficult to spell the syllables. If you learn the later complex vowels, some children may find it difficult to spell. This is also the difficulty of spelling. 02 Learning compound vowels is a first-grade primary school student who finds it easy to accept the early learning of single vowels and initial consonants. After all, it\’s just reading and writing individual letters. But when it comes to learning complex vowels, I feel a little dazzled. For example, the compound vowel \”ai\” seems strange to children, who don\’t know whether to pronounce \”a\” and \”i\” or \”ai\”. When it came to the four brothers \”ang, eng, ing, and ong\” at the back, they felt even more headaches. Writing with complex vowels is also a difficulty. When some children write, it is easy to write compound vowels into single vowels. It is also easy to get confused between compound vowels and compound vowels. 03 Learning to recognize and read syllables as a whole In the first-grade Pinyin alphabet learning, the difficulty is to recognize and read 16 syllables as a whole. The first seven \”zhi, chi, shi, ri, zi, ci, si\” are easier to learn because the characteristics are basically the same. When it comes to the next 9 words \”yi, wu, yu, ye, yue, yuan, yin, yun, ying\”, it becomes more difficult. Some children can\’t figure out whether they are ordinary syllables or syllables that are recognized as a whole. It takes a lot of effort to recognize the overall recognition syllables from a large number of syllables. 04 Reading and writing with tones. The tones are always involved in the learning process of Pinyin letters. From the beginning, students must be able to read and practice the four tones of single vowels accurately. In the later stage, compound vowels and tones are added, which will be a test for every child. Writing in tone is also a difficulty. For example, when encountering the compound vowels \”ai, ei, ui, ao, ou, iu\”, which letter should the tone be marked on? Here we must guide students to learn the standard song: if a is there, tie the hat; if a is not there, o e will tie it; if i and u come together, whoever is behind will tie it. Once you learn how to sing in tune, and practice more, it will be easy to master the tonal marking. 05 The special difficulty lies in the pinyin lettersThere are some special difficulties in learning. For example, \”Four brothers j q x y, please point your finger when you see little u.\” This situation must be mentioned to the children so that they can learn to distinguish it in daily use. In short, students face many difficulties in learning Pinyin letters. This requires students to take it seriously and practice in a down-to-earth manner. Don\’t be careless and treat things superficially.
