First, let them be interested in the words they have learned: interest is the best teacher. If children are interested in what they have learned, they can remember it quickly. When I was teaching my little grandson English, he liked cars and all kinds of transportation, so I took him to the streets to see all kinds of cars coming and going. Look and teach him how to say these cars in English. Because he was interested in cars, these English words were quickly remembered, but I taught him something he was not interested in, but he never remembered it, although I repeated it over and over again. In order to arouse children's interest and arouse their enthusiasm for memorizing words, I often say some interesting compound words to make them "guess words" such as water.
Autumn (waterfall) pineapple (pineapple) sweet potato (sweet potato) rice cake (rice cake) fire
Flies (fireflies) ... and so on. In this way, let them think with their brains, not only can they remember English words, but also develop their thinking ability, and because they use their brains, words are not easy to forget, so they will remember them firmly. In order to arouse their interest, they should also teach something close to their lives. Only when they have experienced what they have seen can they easily understand and accept it and remember it easily. For example, when the little grandson was two years old, he loved his parents very much and often hugged and kissed them. When I saw this situation, I taught him to kiss (hug). I said kiss your mother, and he kissed his mother. I said, Hugh
Give me a hug, your dad. He will hug his father. In this way, he remembered these two English words.
Strike while the iron is hot and often help them consolidate their review.
The experience summarized by psychologists through experiments tells us that memory is a struggle against forgetting. Forgetting has a curve, and this curve has a law. The law of forgetting is fast first and then slow. Children begin to forget when they learn some knowledge, and they will forget 66% if they don't review on the first day.
If you don't review the next day, you will forget 6%, and then the forgetting speed will slow down. Since the rule of forgetting is fast first and then slow, in order to prevent forgetting, we should strike while the iron is hot and review what we learned that day immediately, so as to improve the consolidation rate and achieve the ideal memory effect. In addition, in order to consolidate your memory, you must review it frequently and repeatedly, so as not to forget it after a long interval. Among the students I teach, some have very good grades and some have poor grades. All taught by the same teacher. Why is the difference so big? Of course, there are many reasons for this, but a very important reason is that the review is not timely? Some students preview before class and review immediately after class. Of course he remembers this, but some students neither preview nor review. After class, they throw away books and play computer games. How could he remember this? Of course, everything he has learned will be returned to me. In order to make children remember what they have learned, parents must make this clear to their children and let them consciously follow the rules of memory, so as to "get twice the result with half the effort" and remember more things in less time. This is the way to remember English words, and so is learning other knowledge. Otherwise, it will "get twice the result with half the effort" and fail to achieve good results. Everyone seems to understand this truth, but it is not easy to do it. This needs to cultivate children's perseverance. Parents should tell their children the truth and often remind them to do so. In order to help children remember more English words, I put forward the slogan of "three exercises" to the students.
. (that is, practice in time; Practice every day; Practice at any time.
Let children learn some pronunciation rules.
If you want to remember English words, you should not only follow the rules of memory, but also learn according to the rules of pronunciation. Therefore, if children want to remember English words, they must be taught some pronunciation rules. In pronunciation rules, it is very important for children to understand monosyllabic pronunciation rules, because if you can master this rule, simple monosyllabic words can be read at first sight and written at once (except for the pronunciation of special words). Monosyllabic words are divided into syllables and closed syllables. One of the opening syllables is the long vowel "reading" in front of a monosyllabic word (that is, the sound of the letter itself) ending in the silent e. For example, cake is a monosyllabic word that ends with a silent e, so the vowel in front reads the sound of the letter itself. Another example is bicycles, notes, and use. , is a monosyllabic word ending in an unvoiced "e", and all the vowels in front of it read the sound of the letter itself. Monosyllabic words ending in consonants are called "closed syllables", and the vowels in front are pronounced "short sounds". For example, map is a monosyllabic word ending in a consonant, while the vowels in front of it are pronounced "short sound" bed, big, hot, bus and so on. ) is a monosyllabic word with closed syllables. Mastering this pronunciation rule, as long as children learn the pronunciation of long and short vowels and learn which vowels and which consonants are, they will master the key to reading monosyllabic words. In the future, when they encounter monosyllabic words (except the pronunciation of special words), they can pronounce them correctly at a glance and spell them correctly at once, so that they can spell and spell monosyllabic words more easily without rote memorization, which is much more active and faster than spelling words with letters, and can achieve the effect of "getting twice the result with half the effort" or even getting twice the result with half the effort.
