My son is 5 and a half years old and will go to elementary school next year! One after another, I am also intentionally improving my son's abilities, so that the child can more easily achieve “young convergence” and quickly adapt to the life of primary school.

 

These days, when I pick up my son from school, I always take the skipping rope downstairs to dance with him for a while. My son has danced very well after more than a month of practice! Many mothers are attracted to this little guy, and they can't help but ask me: “Your son is so amazing!" My girl can't do it yet, so she can't jump over it." Out of politeness, I said, ”Don't worry, it will happen slowly."

Everyone knows that when children enter elementary school, skipping rope is a compulsory physical examination. If you want to achieve excellence, the number of jumps in one minute must reach more than 99. So parents can think about it. This is a skill that needs to be acquired through practice. It is not something that can be learned by picking up a rope. It really can't be done without practice.

 

When it comes to “young convergence”, the attitudes of parents are generally divided into 2 categories：

One category is anxiety。 My parents yelled at my children all day long that they can't do anything! But what's the matter, I don't know if I can keep up in the first grade! Most of the parents in this part have no practical action.

The other type is to have a ”let it go" attitude。 It's just that it's okay. You can do whatever you want. Isn't the country asking for a double reduction? There is no need to learn in advance, just follow the teacher's rhythm when you go to school. You can learn whatever you are willing to learn! Some children are not expected to study, and it is useless for their parents to be anxious.

In fact, the parents who hold these two attitudes arewrongof.

 

First of all, it must be clear that the state double-reduces and prohibits the elementary education of kindergartens. It's not that children “don't learn”.

The reason for the "double reduction” is to reduce the “excessive learning content” that is not in line with the child's physical and mental development. The prohibition of elementary education in kindergartens is not to prevent children from being literate, or to prevent children from possessing mathematical calculations, logical thinking, etc.

Precisely because of the "double reduction” and because "kindergarten prohibits elementary education”, parents should start to grasp their children's learning problems and pay attention to the following two points.

First, parents should pay more attention to family education.

The double reduction of schools gives parents greater responsibilities and obligations to protect their children. The quality of family education directly determines the quality of their children's future development. This is also the difference between children. Therefore, parents must learn to make “special additions” to their children.

Of course, this special addition is not tutoring, or parents giving their children an additional learning burden! It's a family education concept and method that helps children grow up!

Second, we must pay more attention to the child's long-distance running ability。

A child's good academic performance is not necessarily the best. A child with a promising future must have the ability to “long-distance running”. For example, what Party representative Yang Langlang said about how to keep children from losing at the starting line, it is necessary to cultivate children's positive and positive mentality, bravery, sense of responsibility and curiosity!

So instead of frowning and feeling sorry for what hasn't happened yet, it's better to act! If you want your children to easily adapt to elementary school, parents need to prepare for many things in advance. Cramming Buddha's feet is definitely not possible. For example, “literacy, skipping rope, poetry accumulation..." ”

 

I am an educator myself. After obtaining the scriptures from those who have come and adding my own educational philosophy, I quietly formulated a “young convergence” plan for my son.

It is divided into 3 stages. Each stage has some key content that needs to be completed. I hope it can help you who are also with your young children and babies!

In the first stage, the countdown is 10 months, focusing on 5 things!

After children enter primary school, their learning content changes from the five major fields (health, language, society, science, and art) that are interesting and rich in kindergarten to subject-based learning.

Children are about to learn a lot of characters, texts, pinyin, arithmetic, applications, and so on! Moreover, in this process, teachers teach more, and whether they digest it or not depends on the child's own ability. After all, teachers have teaching plans and time constraints. 80% of children in a class will master the next knowledge point, and if they fall, they will fall!

So it's really difficult for children to have no certain foundation! Next, I will tell you about the sub-disciplines. To what extent should children master the three subjects of language, mathematics, and English before entering primary school?

1. Language

Speak Chinese first, because it is really important and the top priority for young children.

I carefully studied the textbooks and teaching standards of the first grade. It is not difficult to find that the proportion of Chinese classes in all disciplines is really very large. For example, in a one-week schedule, there may be 3 sections in mathematics, 2 sections in English, but 8-10 sections in Chinese.

In the era of Dahua, Chinese as the basic subject of learning has to be taken seriously. First of all, it is a language and a medium for children to learn any subject. Not being able to read, understand, or recognize words will naturally cause the learning effect of other subjects to fail.

 

To give a simple example, children who enter primary school with their own literacy can instantly understand math questions, and they can self-check to be accurate, while those who need teachers to read questions may miss the opportunity to answer if they don't seize the opportunity, and of course they will not self-check. The grades are naturally poor, and over time, it will dampen the enthusiasm of children to learn!

Moreover“ ”The improvement of "language proficiency" requires a long process, and the sooner it starts, the better.

The key points of Chinese subjects in the first grade book includeLiteracy, pinyin, reading, and writing.So if parents can't grasp the key points, it's absolutely fine to start from these 4 aspects.

For the literate son, he started very early. Since he entered the sensitive stage of literacy around the age of 3, we have accumulated about 300 common words from our daily lives, or it is said that it was acquired naturally with no effort.

I started to contact Pinyin around the age of 5. At first, the little guy watched me typing and he was curious. I said that when you learn pinyin, you will naturally be like your mother. You can spell whatever you want. With this interest, we were in the "Talking Language, Mathematics and English Almighty Class", and I gave him a small keyboard. In the pinyin world, this page not only has initials, vowels, and overall recognized syllables, but also tones. You can freely use double and triple spelling.

 

You don't need a point-reading pen, you can pronounce and spell freely with a little touch of your hand. The little guy learns from me every day as if he is a writer. You must play for a while after school. In this way, he has mastered all the pinyin imperceptibly!

 

You will find that sometimes when you provide your child with the right tools, you don't need to urge him to learn at all. The child will seek to improve by himself. I found that the little guy's accumulated literacy can no longer meet his needs. This is the best time to improve children's literacy.

Also in the talking "Language, Mathematics and English Almighty Classroom", it contains 17 pages of primary school textbooks for simultaneous literacy.

 

Contains glyphs, pronunciation, and groups of words. This is very convenient. I don't need to read it to him. The child will have the standard pronunciation from the first word when he clicks “Follow reading” with his small hand. Then you can press which word baby wants to listen to and then press it. Every day after school from kindergarten, my son will read it for a while, and he will learn these words over time. Contains group words!

 

When it comes to Chinese, there is another point that is the study of ”ancient poetry". We know that when children go to school, ancient poetry is a compulsory exam. At that time, children have to learn translation, characters, words, authors, central ideas, etc.

Remembering ancient poems in the golden age of children's memory before the age of 6 is too simple for the little ones, so smart parents are helping their children to familiarize themselves with “ancient poems” at this time. They don't need anything. Just memorize it like a tongue twister. If you don't know what to memorize, just ask for the 36 poems from the school.Ancient poems begin. That is, after practicing the child's spoken language and remembering in advance the content that needs to be recited in the future, you can get more in one fell swoop, and you will save a lot of effort than other children when you learn in the future!

 

2. Mathematics

Mathematics in the first grade is very simple. It is all basic knowledge of numbers, 1-100, greater than, less than, decomposition of numbers, oral calculations, etc. The slightly more difficult ones are “addition and subtraction within 20”, “Position”, “graphics”, “clocks” and so on.

 

Capable parents can make it easy for their children to master before they enter elementary school!

If the child cannot understand or the parent does not understand, it is recommended that you can use interesting picture-based point-reading games or nursery rhymes to make the child better understand.

Is the following content particularly easy for children to understand?

 

There are pronunciation, writing stroke order, examples, and fun calculators, and you can practice addition and subtraction by yourself! There is a ratio of size, ratio, length, height, and number decomposition, addition and subtraction!

 

3. English

I read the English textbooks for the first semester of the first grade. I mainly heard that there are some requirements for reading and writing, but there are almost no requirements for writing. Each unit has 2-3 sentence patterns and 5-6 vocabulary, which is very simple!

But also as a language, it is necessary to have a certain sense of language and accumulation! I will choose English for the music and cartoons that sharpen my son's ears all day long. So these basic word sentence patterns are really a piece of cake for it!

If parents don't know English, if they want their children not to lose at the starting line and master some basic words, then the last part of the "Language, Mathematics and English Almighty Class" that can speak is very good and enough!

 

The content includes: letters, colors, shapes, body parts, family members, emotions, daily vocabulary, etc. Does the standard pronunciation of reading with your little finger help your parents solve the problem of not being able to speak English?

 

In the process of making the transition from a young age for my son, this set of books is a great hero, and it is particularly practical! It's still a rechargeable version, you don't need to click on the reading pen, you can easily click on it with your fingers! While the baby likes it, it also easily frees the hands of his parents! Parents who also need it can get it by clicking “Go see” below!

4. Writing

I consulted a lot of mothers about what is the biggest problem their children encounter after entering elementary school? What I didn't expect was not literacy, not pinyin, but actually“Write”! Many parents say that the most difficult thing for children entering the first grade is to write!

Therefore, the experience summed up by everyone is that before entering the first grade, children must learn to write basic strokes and remember the stroke order. Because it's too difficult to teach children to write! Torturing a child is also torturing oneself!

So when our son was 5 and a half years old, we started learning to “hold the pen” and “control the pen”, starting from the basic graphic pen control, to the pinyin pen control, and finally to the radical practice.

 

Of course, you can't practice blindly and choose a red copybook for your child. The child has poor pen control and does not understand the basic stroke order, so it is useless to only draw red.

 

What I used for my son is this set of “control training” copybook with content set according to the requirements of the syllabus of primary school students!

 

A total of 8 volumes range from basic graphics stylus to numbers, pinyin, strokes, radicals, radicals, and Chinese characters to help children firmly lay the foundation for literacy!

 

The words written by my son now look like this, isn't it beautiful? Anyway, I am quite content.

 

Click “Go and have a look” for the same copybook to get it!

5. Skipping rope

As mentioned above, skipping rope is a compulsory test item, but it must be practiced. Get acquainted with it in advance and master the skills in advance. This skill is not something you can learn in a day or two. The sooner your parents guide you, the better! In addition to the test-taking needs, skipping rope can also promote children to grow taller!

 

The second stage is the countdown to 6 months. At this time, we will focus on preparing for 2 things.

1. Cultivate the concept of time.

When children enter elementary school, they will not be as free to live or study as they are in kindergarten. Having a good sense of time will allow children to keep up with the rhythm of school and teachers quickly.

Therefore, parents must focus on cultivating their children's good sense of time. For example, what time do you get up in the morning, what time do you brush your teeth and wash your face, do your homework within a few minutes, what time do you go to bed at night, and so on!

 

2. Cultivate children's good habit of reading independently.

Why is independent reading emphasized at this time. With the improvement of children's abilities and the reserve of literacy, it should be no problem to read independently now. Taking advantage of the first 6 months of school, we encourage children to stick to independent reading as a habit, and this habit is beneficial to children throughout their lives.

 

What do parents need to do for children to read independently? Of course, it depends on whether the child understands it, and whether he really understands it. How to judge? Teacher Dong Yuhui said a lot, that is“ "retelling”.

Encourage your child to tell you. If he can tell it, if he speaks it well, it means that he has read it, understood it, and understood it. After mastering this skill, there is absolutely no problem for children to preview and review in the future!

In the third stage, the countdown is 2 months, and two important things are done well.

1. Psychological preparation.

Children entering a new environment, encountering a new teacher and facing a new learning model will also be nervous, and it will take a while to adapt. Therefore, it is very necessary to give children psychological foreknowledge in advance. Tell your baby that he will be a first-grade elementary school student soon. In the first grade, there will no longer be a teacher who wears clothes and ties his shoelaces. The baby must learn to be independent, learn to deal with interpersonal relationships, and learn to adapt to the new collective as soon as possible. But don't worry, baby, mom will accompany you to face all this. So if you encounter something, remember to talk to your mother and let's face it together, okay?

Let the child accept such a change from the bottom of his heart and know clearly that “I am not afraid, my parents will face it with me.”

 

2. Take the child to the elementary school she is going to.

Yes, take the child to the “elementary school” where he is going to take a turn, and give the child more expectations and yearning.

 

3. Adaptability training for work and rest.

Properly understand the work and rest rules and time of the primary school that is about to enter, help children adjust their existing work and rest, and gradually let them adapt. When the school starts, the children will naturally adapt to the work and rest of the primary school very freely. Can better devote yourself to the study and life of the “first grade”!
