How to quickly improve literacy in kindergarten

Kindergarten must not just play. Make good use of three years and use various methods to let children slowly come into contact with words until they can read by themselves and finally read with their own interest. In this way, the first grade can be easily dealt with, and parents will not be so anxious. The following are some methods that can help children quickly improve their literacy in kindergarten: 1. Use picture books to read 1. Parent-child reading: Parents arrange a certain amount of time to read picture books with their children every day. During the reading process, point to the text with your finger and read to the child word for word, allowing the child to connect the words with the pictures and story content. For example, when reading \”David Can\’t\”, you can point to the words \”David\” and \”Mom\” and let the children see and hear the pronunciation of these words repeatedly. 2. Interactive questioning: After reading the picture book, ask questions about some key contents in the story to guide the children to recall and speak relevant words. For example, ask a child \”What is the little rabbit doing in the story?\” The child may answer \”The little rabbit is eating grass.\” At this time, you can take the opportunity to emphasize words such as \”rabbit\” and \”grass.\” 3. Repeated reading: The same picture book can be read multiple times to deepen children\’s impression of the text. As the number of readings increases, children will gradually become familiar with the words in the picture books and naturally remember some common words. 2. Play literacy games 1. Flashcards game: Prepare some flashcards and play games with your children. You can play a \”guessing game\” where parents take out a card and ask their children to guess the word on it; or they can play a \”matching game\” where the words on the card are matched with the corresponding pictures. For example, take out a card with \”Apple\” written on it and a picture of an apple, and ask the child to match it. 2. Word Solitaire: Parents first say a word, and then ask the child to say another word starting with the last word of the word. For example, parents say \”apple\” and children say \”fruit\”. This game can help children review the words they already know and learn new words at the same time. 3. Supermarket literacy: When taking your children to the supermarket for shopping, you can let them recognize the words on product labels. For example, let the children find products with the words \”milk\” and \”bread\” written on them. By learning words in actual situations, it will be easier for children to understand and remember. 3. Create a literacy environment 1. Family environment: Put corresponding Chinese character labels on every corner of the home, such as the word \”door\” on the door, the word \”window\” on the windows, etc. Let children see these words at any time in daily life to deepen their impression. 2. Kindergarten environment: Place some decorations with Chinese characters in kindergarten classrooms, corridors and other places, such as lyrics of children\’s songs, classic sentences in stories, etc. Children will be constantly exposed to these Chinese characters in kindergarten activities, thereby improving their literacy. 4. Use children\’s songs and rhymes 1. Sing children\’s songs: Teach children to sing some simple children\’s songs, such as \”Little Star\”, \”Two Tigers\”, etc. Lyrics in children\’s songs often appear repeatedly, and children can easily remember the Chinese characters while singing. 2. Read nursery rhymes: Nursery rhymes are fast-paced and rhythmic, and children like them very much. You can recite nursery rhymes with your children, such as \”Little mouse, go up to the lampstand, steal oil to eat, but can\’t get down\”, and point out the Chinese characters in it to let the children recognize it. 5. Story telling 1. Parents tell stories: When telling stories to their children, parents can consciously emphasize some key words to deepen their impression. For example, when telling the story of \”The Three Little Pigs\”, words such as \”little pigs\”, \”house\” and \”big bad wolf\” are mentioned repeatedly. 2. Children retell the story: After the story is told, encourage the children to retell the story in their own words. During the retelling process, children will recall the plot and words in the story, thereby consolidating their literacy achievements. 6. Combined with the reality of life 1. Street sign literacy: When going out for a walk or riding in a car, let your children recognize the words on road signs and billboards. For example, when you see a street sign for \”Park Road\”, teach your children to recognize the words \”park\” and \”road\”. 2. Menu literacy: When eating in a restaurant, children can learn the words on the menu. You can start with some simple dish names, such as \”Tomato Scrambled Eggs\”, \”Shredded Potatoes\”, etc.
