3 tips to teach your children to read happily

Teaching children to read is a daunting task for both teachers and parents. Chinese characters are different from "phonetic characters" such as English. Children not only need to know the pinyin, but more importantly, they need to remember the shape of the characters. The methods of teaching children to read that we summarized today are very interesting and worth learning from.

The first step: children's songs to learn words

Children's songs are catchy, lively and interesting. Once you remember them, you will never forget them. In daily teaching, we can pay attention to grasping the characteristics of characters and compile some easy-to-understand nursery rhymes. For example, when teaching the character "碧", we can compile it into "Old man Wang and old man Bai, sitting on a big rock together"; the character "坐", we can compile it into "Two people sitting back to back on the ground"; the character "告", we can compile it into "Bite off the cow's tail in one bite"; the character "武", we can compile it into "The character 武 is a straw bag with a knife", etc. This kind of compilation is easy to learn and remember, and is interesting and can improve students' interest and ability in recognizing, distinguishing and remembering words.

The second trick: Learn to read through comparison

Many teachers have experienced this: there are always some students who confuse "哪" and "那". For example, when choosing words to fill in the blanks, you can write "Why are there so many new houses in the village?" The teacher can use the comparison method to teach. First, compare the pronunciations of the characters: “哪” is pronounced nǎ, and “那” is pronounced nà. Then compare the shapes of the characters: "哪" has an extra "口" than "那". Finally, help students understand the meaning of the words. In a sentence, "哪" is used to express questions, and "那" is used to refer to distant places or things. For example: "Where are you from?" "I'm going over there." In this way, students will be able to distinguish between "哪" and "那".

The third trick: guess the riddles to learn words

Introducing riddles into the memorization of new words and allowing students to learn and memorize some new words by guessing riddles will greatly stimulate students' curiosity for knowledge. For example, the word “goose” can be remembered as: I am a bird, and I walk swayingly. "Jian" can be remembered as: small on top, big on the bottom. "虽" can be recorded as: eating a worm in one bite. Using the above methods can not only allow students to remember new words, but also exercise their speaking ability and give play to their endless imagination.
