Entering October, the first-grade \”junior-to-primary transition period\” is over, and Xiaodou Bao has a good look: he has a sense of time in the morning, urging his mother to go out early, otherwise he will be late; when he comes home from school, he takes out the book by himself, and starts Talk excitedly about today’s lesson. However, learning Chinese well in school alone is not enough. 1. Language relies on accumulation. The particularity of Chinese and English subjects is that they are essentially language learning. The vitality of language lies in its application, but the trouble is: there is no fixed equation for the application of language that can be directly applied. If you don’t believe it, if you look at the examples of people complaining online about not being able to speak and chatting to death every second, you will know that the subtlety of language cannot be taught in textbooks. Language relies on accumulation. To put it bluntly, it is like sun salt: you have to extract salt from a large amount of sea water and lake water, most of which evaporates as water. What is the \”moisture\” in Chinese language learning? It\’s a lot of reading. Opening the first-grade Chinese textbook, the content that must be mastered in one semester is to learn pinyin, read 280 words, and write 100 words. If only this little language knowledge is accumulated in one semester, it will be a huge waste of resources for children. Therefore, first-grade Chinese textbooks are only used as examples at best, and their application and accumulation rely on extracurricular activities. It\’s not extracurricular training, but a lot of non-utilitarian and free reading outside class. 2. Textbooks are branches. Unlike mathematics subjects, Chinese textbooks only provide examples. Let’s use a tree as an analogy. Chinese textbooks provide branches. Even if you read the textbooks thoroughly and without rich extracurricular reading, the tree will only have dry branches and cannot grow into luxuriant branches. Take Chinese Pinyin as an example. The first volume of first grade focuses on Pinyin, which takes up most of the class time. However, is it enough to just read and memorize these pinyin? Big mistake. To reach a proficient level in phonics, a large amount of phonics materials are needed. What\’s more, Pinyin in the first grade is only a concentrated study. Pinyin learning continues until high school, and the exams also continue from elementary school to the college entrance examination. In my opinion, the way to consolidate Pinyin is to use textbooks to read, memorize, and write down the initial consonant list, final vowel list, and overall recognition syllable list. The rest of the time is spent outside class: reading a lot of books with Pinyin, and During reading and application, pinyin has fulfilled its mission by connecting syllables, glyphs, words, and sentences together. Learning Pinyin is not the goal, it is just a tool. Our Chinese language has square characters, and the popularization of using musical notes to learn Chinese characters began in the 1950s. Compared with our thousands of years of cultural heritage, Pinyin is not even a child\’s play. Don\’t lose your way while learning Pinyin and Chinese characters. 3. Reading is king. From my own growth, I want to thank reading. Reading has opened up a vast world for me. In the ancient poem and reality of \”It\’s noon on the day of hoeing\”, I also saw the saying \”I can\’t see the mountains in the distance, there are only clouds on the other side; I can\’t see the trees, there are only seagulls on the water.\” vast. If you want me to provide learning advice to my children, I don’t need to attend training classes in Chinese, let alone answer questions blindly. What parents need to do most is to provide him with a large number of excellent reading resources suitable for his age. Children plunge into the ocean of reading and learn from a large number of excellentUnder the infiltration of beautiful words, Chinese language ability is improved subtly. The ancients said: \”If you read three hundred Tang poems by heart, you can recite them even if you don\’t know how to compose them.\” This is the truth. Today\’s children have a dazzling array of reading resources. Paper reading is no longer the only way. Tablet computers, smartphones, learning APPA, etc. have enriched the forms of children\’s reading. But I still strongly recommend paper reading, especially for children in the lower grades. Paper reading is presented in the form of text and pictures, giving children more space for thinking and imagination, and is conducive to cultivating children\’s meditation, concentration, and thinking. Puzzle apps are deeply loved by children for their strong and interesting interactions, but they leave a big hidden danger: after the brain receives strong stimulation, it is difficult to get excited about lower-level stimulation. If a child receives too strong comprehensive stimulation of sound, color, light, and pictures early in order to increase his interest, it will be more difficult to change when faced with traditional paper reading, homework, and exams. When children have accumulated a certain amount of knowledge, can control themselves, and have a more meaningful sense of learning, the forms of learning and reading can be more diverse and richer, and the convenience of the Internet can better serve children.
