This year, when my child was in third grade, we had a small hemorrhage.
Because he just started learning English this year, he encountered the revision of English textbooks, which is really a big challenge for our family, a child with zero foundation.
My English is a bit scummy, and I didn't stick to the English enlightenment for my child earlier, and the child regretted it as soon as he started school, why didn't he insist on English enlightenment at that time.
In order for children to better adapt to English learning and keep children interested in English, this semester we first entered the dictionary pen, opened a member of the word APP, and bought "Heinemann English Graded Reading", phonetic transcription wall chart......
Each item has not stepped on the pit in the past, and it has also become the child's "learning artifact", and the old mother is still very pleased.
➡️ Dictionary pen
Dictionary pen is now the most popular on the market is Youdao and Alpha Egg, which one to choose, this depends on personal needs. If you have a learning machine at home, the dictionary pen is mainly used to scan words, in fact, the general dictionary pen is enough.
In this way, you can reduce the budget, memorize words, and use a learning machine for preview.
If you don't have a learning machine at home and don't plan to buy it recently, you can choose a dictionary pen with more functions, such as voice questions and answers, essay correction, scanning questions and homework correction, etc.
My home is Alpha Egg D1, which is enough for my baby, and we use it to order texts, and picture books are very convenient. Each word has phonics, and there is a slow choice when pronouncing, which is very friendly to children who have just learned English, and many new words are learned, and my baby is learned through a dictionary pen.
➡️ Word APP
In fact, in addition to breaking words, we also use ABC English Corner, but ABC English Corner is more for children to use it to practice speaking, because it is a game mode, and children are more addicted to play. But the meaning of English words is often not clear, that is, they can read, but the meaning is often not known.
Later, we tried the word APP, which is also a game mode, but more of it revolves around word learning, there are textbooks and textbooks to synchronize words, and we learn five words every day.
There are also word adventures, which can learn some new words according to the child's level, the words are not very difficult, and the child can learn and accept it relatively quickly.
There is also phonetic transcription learning, which is a video of three letters, and there are corresponding game exercises after learning. We studied the three letters every night, and now we're done right away. When the child sees the words, he can try to spell them out on his own.
Word learning, this is through phonics to take the words apart and memorize, as long as you can read and write, during the integration of game mode, children learn is not boring, this is currently the APP we use every day.
➡️ Heinemann Graded English Reading
We just started this recently, and I followed the advice of a friend who said that Heinemann is very suitable for children to do reading enlightenment.
The "Heineman English Graded Reading" series is an English graded reading exclusively introduced by New Oriental, which is heavily created by Fountas and Pinnell, famous graded reading experts in United States, and the GRL (also known as A~Z) grading system created by them is widely used.
I took a look at Heineman's set of direct college entrance examination level, the reading system is more perfect, a total of 18 levels, 720 reading materials, 539,000 readings, 10,000+ vocabulary spiraling from A to W, from 0 basic introduction to fluent English listening, speaking, reading and writing. It is very suitable for long-term daily reading and practice for children.
Judging from the new curriculum standard textbooks, more attention is paid to a lot of reading and reading comprehension, and you can find that it is now mainly based on reading and thinking, and it is no longer a simple word practice.
"Heinemann English Graded Reading" focuses on thinking, one is thinking in the text, the second is thinking outside the text, and the third is thinking about the text, and these have corresponding guidance and exercises.
Although the baby is a 0 basic child, we have begun to make some progress by insisting on learning every day during the first month of school. In order to help the child lay a better foundation, I first arranged for him to have a GK-1 Level A, a total of 40 reading books, 4 companion reading manuals, Ebbinghaus reading punch books, portable reading cards, and online resources.
If you haven't graded your child before, don't worry, it's all planned for us.
We can follow Ebbinghaus to read the punch book, according to this plan to complete, you can choose to check in and learn through the online resource "New Oriental Little Scholar" APP, which has synchronous explanations, learning words, listening and reading, reading along, doing exercises, listening to pure audio, adding ear grinding, you can also watch foreign teacher videos, or you can use the reading pen to read the paper version.
In my family, parents and children mainly read the paper version together, then read the online resources, and then complete the exercises according to the companion reading manual after completion. The back cover of the book has the vocabulary and difficulty level of this reader, and when reading, you can guide the child to observe the cover first, and we will let the child guess the meaning according to the picture for the first time, and then take the child to read it again.
In fact, the "New Oriental Little Scholar" APP has synchronous explanations, and this explanation is also very detailed, which is suitable for children to learn independently.
After reading, there are corresponding questions at the back of each book, and we will ask one question and one answer, and I will ask him to answer, so as to see what the child has mastered after reading.
The design of this box is also very intimate,Two boxes up and down,You can label it,One has been read,One has not been read,The picture book that is read every day is placed in the read,The next day directly in the unread box to take out the next book to read。
I have also taken my children to brush other grading before, but most of them do not have a companion reading manual, or the content of the manual is not comprehensive enough, Heinemann's graded companion reading manual is great, there are Cambridge, course standard vocabulary color change markings, fixed word collocation, core sentence patterns, to guide children to speak English.
We often look at the core sentence patterns after reading the picture books, and then practice with the children's divergent thinking, such as what we can see in the market, and then one person says one, so that in the practice, the children become more and more proficient in the use of this core sentence pattern.
The learning of English is really to persevere, insist on input, insist on output, and I feel very deeply this month.
We also have to believe in children's learning ability, a month ago, my baby's word volume was still stuck at the level of twenty or thirty #school-opening season#, and now the number of words is increasing by five or five every day, and the sentences are reading more and more smoothly. English listening in textbooks can be 1.5 times faster.
In addition to persisting in children's learning, they must also choose the right "learning artifact" in order to see significant results!
