Regardless of whether it is useful for children to learn children's English or not, I was surprised to find that 80% of children in my class can skillfully use "natural spelling"! It can be seen how much time parents have secretly spent behind their backs! Now the conditions of these "post 10" are much better than those of our "post 85", so parents are also willing to let their children receive better education, such as dance, piano, calligraphy, taekwondo, English and so on, which are compulsory subjects for my friends and colleagues' children. Who wants their children to lose to other children? But children's energy is limited after all. As they grow older, their academic burden increases exponentially; It's time to give up some hobbies to make way for the main course. I don't need to say more about the importance of English. Parents will never give up English if they give up any of them. Therefore, children learning English from an early age will not be doing "idle work" either from the perspective of coping with the current exam or from the perspective of long-term development. My daughter, Duo'er, will be in the second grade soon after the school starts. She is now studying in a famous primary school in Nanjing. The school encourages English speaking, so it is usually bilingual communication in school. Duo'er can read picture books freely, and even teach me some American culture learned from school. Parents are surprised by the great progress! Therefore, it is the most correct educational decision I have ever made to train Duoer to speak English since childhood. This is the audio-visual materials she has been exposed to before, such as the classic nursery rhymes of Mother Goose, cartoons about natural spelling, magic school bus grading books, etc; It has great benefits for children to develop their sense of language and expand their horizons. They are all free resources, so parents don't need to collect them from the Internet. Palm number: Milton American, which can be downloaded from the learning resources. 1、 Why should I learn English from an early age? 1. This age is suitable for learning languages. According to brain science research, the human brain has a magical region called the Bruska region; It is an area of the brain specifically responsible for language learning. The effect of language learning by people of different ages on the Brocas region is not the same. If learning language at the age of 3-12 is stored in the Brucas region, the brain will default to the mother tongue. However, there are two cases. (1) 3-5 years old (rapid development period) - the mother tongue thinking is initially established, and for common things, the mother tongue thinking mode is used to understanding in the mind. (2) 5-12 years old (sensitive period) - it is necessary to further consolidate the mother tongue thinking, construct the input and output system of English as a whole, and realize the natural response to English. Therefore, children at the age of 3-12 years old have inherent advantages in learning a language. This may be too abstract, because science does not have "human feelings". Now I will briefly talk about how to let children "naturally" access to English. 2. The competition is too fierce. The environment forced people to keep running since they were born. One time in the gym, I heard a mother and another mother say that she helped her children to attend the sprint class for the Sword Less exam in X Oriental. How many words to recite and how many books to read every day. In addition, there was a violin class. They had to practice the piano every morning. Culture, talent and skill; Only in this way can we be competitive when we go to middle school for interview. So it is terrible that other children are working hard, and their children are not learning, as if they suffered a loss; Which parent would be reconciled? 2、 How to let children naturally come into contact with English Some parents will be confused: how old is it better for children to get into contact with English? In fact, such troubles are totally unnecessary. The earlier the children contact English, the lower the learning cost, the less time, and the better the effect. In the current "special" international environment, it is unrealistic to let children go abroad to contact English. Therefore, for most children who do not go abroad, how to build a pure English environment is the core problem for parents to solve. Many parents are not good at English, otherwise there will not be so many people laughing at themselves on the Internet: "parents who are bad at learning". At this time, classic English learning materials will build a "castle" for learning English. Ear grinding. My children have been walking since Duo'er was two and a half years old. Our family has the habit of buying English nursery rhymes and cartoons to "grind her eyes" and "grind her ears", Be prepared for a rainy day! After grinding for nearly a year or so, I found that the child's hearing ability suddenly improved. When I took her to bathe, eat and tell stories in the evening, it was obvious that she could hum the children's songs she heard in the daytime and imitate the plot of cartoons. It turned out that she had such a talent for "speaking English". Then we tried to download some English books for her, and she also liked to read them. It also opens the door to English learning! (Although there are many online resources, it is not easy to get them. 70% of the parents present must have experienced a series of time-consuming and laborious work, such as scanning the code, adding groups, paying attention, sharing and downloading. It may be a hoax at the end. I only paid attention to the public palm number of Milton American before. Download the resources in the learning resources and save them in their Baidu online disks. It's easy to fry chicken. Because the data is quite large, you should ensure good network speed when following!) I have accumulated the third order of exposure to English (1) from listening to speaking to reading and writing, from dynamic to static. Recall how we taught our children to learn Chinese. When they heard their parents calling and babbling, they suddenly could blurt out their father and mother one day. Gradually, I will say more words and join the parent-child interaction; Then began the stage of reading and watching cartoons. Similarly, English, as a language, is also for the purpose of communication in essence, and the learning methods also need to be followed: first listening and speaking, then reading and writing; As an inevitable product of the listening and speaking stage, oral English has become more and more important. Parents need to integrate oral communication into their daily life. The main emphasis is the following: 1. Daily language, hello, goodbye, sorry. 2. Various instructions, such as sit down, go there, give this to me, etc. 3. Various common sense of life, such as large, small, up, down, various daily necessities, food, color, shape in space. Although they can't say many things yet, they can point to them correctly. (2) Sequence of material assistance. In the process of English enlightenment, it is inevitable to encounter scenes that children cannot touch everyday. At this time, English audio-visual materials should be used as an aid. But parents can't pick up a book and force their children to learn, which will easily destroy their children's interest in English. Parents need to "quietly" integrate English into their children's daily life. What can we do? From 0 to 3 years old, catchy nursery rhymes are the best partners of children from 3 to 12 years old. Original English cartoons and movies grow up with children from 5 to 12 years old. Have you seen that picture books and graded books have been introduced to strengthen children's reading ability? Different ages are accompanied by different materials. The order of introduction is: children's songs - cartoons - reading materials. Note that this is only the order of introduction for most children, and these audio-visual materials can certainly complement each other. At the same time, they can be used to build an immersion environment similar to English mother tongue. At home or at school? Family is undoubtedly the main battlefield of learning English, but it does not mean that school is not important? It is not mutually exclusive. It is suggested that parents introduce offline oral English institutions from the age of 3. Notice, why offline and oral English institutions? The most direct reason is that my daughter came here in this way, and she also successfully got started, so I confidently recommend the method of cultivating her to you. In scientific terms, what children need most is an all-round English environment, which is incomparable to online institutions; So why let children watch cartoons? The purpose is to let children contact various English scenes and cultivate the rhythm and rhythm of spoken English. However, it takes too long to let children watch cartoons to improve, which is usually done year by year, so a professional organization is needed to "promote" and teach some scientific methods. When a child speaks, the scene of teaching will appear in his mind, so that he can get twice the result with half the effort. However, many institutions, including online APP, teach children how to memorize words, while ignoring the construction of listening and speaking. With the reform of examination policies in various places, China's education will pay more attention to English listening and speaking in the future, so parents must not neglect the best time for children to learn languages. For example, my daughter has been grinding her ears at home for nearly one and a half years, laying a good foundation for listening input, and then has learned American English in Milton, Nanjing for a period of time, making great progress. Milton American English is the only organization in Nanjing that focuses on cultivating children's oral output. After children have enough listening skills, they will have a need to speak, so they need to output in a timely manner under the correct guidance of teachers. The advantage of offline organizations is that they can interact face to face with real people. Facts have proved that children are young and active by nature, and will be affected by the movement around them at any time. In addition to talking with the teacher, children can also really feel the teacher's actions, expressions, surrounding environment, and the pleasure of playing with other children. It is important to know that children's learning English is different from adults, and the environmental impact accounts for 50% of the total, which can not be given by online platforms. Therefore, it directly determines the quality and effect of teaching. Milton attaches great importance to the learning method of "natural spelling+sight word". Why? The content of reading is composed of words. The biggest difference between English and Chinese is that Chinese characters are recognized by shape; The pronunciation of English words can be deduced from the composition of letters, which is traceable! If you learn to spell naturally, you can master 80% of the pronunciation of words, and the rest of the irregular pronunciation (sight word) will be gradually learned in the process of children's continuous accumulation of listening, speaking, reading and writing. You should know that in the promotion period of children's learning English, no matter what method is used, a lot of reading is unavoidable. This is also recognized by teachers in North America. On the basis of listening and speaking, the original English reading materials are introduced to let children develop the good habit of using "natural spelling+sight word". Over time, children gradually formed a scientific learning system, greatly improving learning efficiency. Therefore, it is very important for children to learn children's English. But what is more important is how to study scientifically and get twice the result with half the effort. All right! Again, repeat the key steps of English enlightenment: the earlier you learn, the better your learning effect will be reflected in daily life. Audiovisual materials cannot be found earlier without offline institutions. Oral training is the primary method, although similar, each child's growth trajectory must be different. Teaching methods cannot be the same. If you have other better methods or difficulties in the process of cultivating children's English enlightenment, you can also leave a message. We can communicate with each other, learn from each other's strengths, and the common goal is how to make children better! You are right! If you think my content is OK, you can also praise it!
