Should children review or preview during summer vacation?

Is preview or review more important during summer vacation? This is a question that many parents have asked recently. In fact, review and preview are not multiple-choice questions. Preview and review are both important to learning, just like human ears and eyes, both are indispensable. Therefore, the best situation is to first understand the child\’s learning situation, and then decide whether to review or preview. How to find out how your child is learning? This is not difficult, as long as you look at your child\’s final exam scores, usual exams, homework, etc., you will basically know. If your child does well in the exam, loses very few points, has neat papers and neat handwriting, then focus on previewing. On the contrary, if the child loses more points and has illegible handwriting. Such children also need to find out in which areas they lost points, how many points they lost, and why they lost points. In this case, the holiday will naturally focus on reviewing, filling in the gaps, and filling in the gaps in knowledge. In fact, based on the author\’s many years of experience, review is more important for most children. After all, academic masters are in the minority. If you ignore the solid foundation, try to get ahead, and blindly rush to progress, your children will not be able to truly \”learn well.\” The reason why I say this is because of the importance of review and the essence of learning. In \”Little Reluctance\”, Ziyou fell from the top five in the class to the 19th in the class. In addition to the child\’s depression and dislike of learning, the class teacher Zhang also said this, which roughly means: The child has learned extracurricular content. It\’s too difficult and the basic knowledge is not solid. Ziyou, who was accustomed to winning by jumping the gun, failed due to insufficient review and unreliable knowledge at the juncture of junior high school. It is not difficult to see here that the essence of learning is not who learns more, but who remembers more. To remember the content, review is the best way. It allows the knowledge to be digested and absorbed and truly becomes one\’s own, which can be output at any time. However, if this link is not done, or is not done properly, and excessive information is blindly stuffed into the brain, new and old knowledge are mixed together, and the brain is overloaded, the consequences are: Download the full collection of Yu Shiwei\’s lectures: A case study of family education stories for preschool children In the 156 selected issues, I forgot everything, remembered nothing, knew nothing, and didn’t learn anything solidly. Ziyou is a typical example. Especially for some children who have not studied well and have a weak foundation, they must focus on review during the summer vacation and make up for their shortcomings. There is a saying that goes like this: If the foundation is not strong, the ground will shake. There is no way to be careless about learning. If you know the content of the study, you will know it, and if you don’t know it, you will not know it. It is not okay to pretend that you know it, because it will definitely be reflected at some point later. Therefore, for those children who do not have a very good foundation, they should take advantage of the holidays to lay a solid foundation and do not leave gaps in the knowledge, so that it will be easier to study in the next semester. If you are greedy for speed and spend a lot of time and energy to prepare, it is like building a building without laying a solid foundation. The result will be that it cannot be built. Of course, this does not mean that everyone should only focus on review and ignore preview. Don\’t go from one extreme to another. Previewing is a good study habit and is very important for improving academic performance. Preview has at least three benefits: First, you can know in advance what you will learn next semester;The second is to intervene in the study in the next semester in advance and solve some problems that you can solve first, so that you can better understand the teacher\’s lectures and improve your skills. The efficiency of listening to lectures and doing exercises; the third is to improve one\’s own self-study ability and lay the foundation for future independent learning. Of course, during the preview process, you also need to pay attention to this point: the main purpose of preview is to cultivate good study habits and self-study ability, and lay the foundation for better learning in the next semester. Note that you don’t need to study too deeply in the preview, but just need to understand it. For some more difficult questions, you can temporarily skip them to avoid dampening your enthusiasm for learning. Just follow the \”five-step method\” to preview Chinese language, which can not only cultivate learning habits, but also improve learning ability and learning effects. Therefore, you must preview while reviewing during the summer vacation. Regarding the time arrangement for review and preview, generally speaking, three-quarters are reviewed and one-third is previewed. Of course this is not a unified standard and everything will vary from person to person. In short, there are no shortcuts to learning, and even the smartest children do not have a photographic memory. They need a certain amount of repeated practice to deepen their impression of knowledge. Therefore, parents must pay attention to learning. As the saying goes: Only by working step by step can you win every step!
