Correct English initiation is key! How do you get your child to listen and open his mouth?

The right steps for your child's English enlightenment! A must-read for parents! For children's English enlightenment, many parents get the order wrong!

When learning English, many parents are accustomed to using the thinking of learning Chinese to enlighten their children in English, strictly following the order of "listening, speaking, reading and writing", thinking that this is the only way to do it.

In fact, rigidly following the "listening, speaking, reading and writing" order to give children English enlightenment is not only not conducive to the cultivation of children's interest in English learning, but also delays the comprehensive development of their English ability. English enlightenment is a whole, step-by-step process, we must conform to the child's own development law, and the rigidity will only bring a lot of negative effects to the child.

A habitual mistake made by many parents is that in the early stage of English enlightenment, let their children listen to a lot of English nursery rhymes and read a lot of English picture books, but forget to let their children express themselves. In other words, parents' English enlightenment only achieves "input", but forgets to let children "output"!

The English enlightenment method of only "listening" and not "speaking" is very unscientific, which will not only cause the petrification of language, but also cause children to lose interest in learning. If you want to learn English well, "listening" and "speaking" must be connected together, and you can't "favor one over the other". However, if you want to improve the efficiency of language learning and promote children's language ability, it is not enough to just "listen" and "speak", you must learn to "read" moderately.

Only by reading and speaking can we improve the efficiency of English learning. Therefore, when doing listening and speaking training, reading methods such as picture book reading and letter reading should also be kept up.

From birth to the beginning of language learning, children experience a long period of verbal silence. At this stage, they need to receive a lot of verbal input and understand the meaning of the language through auxiliary information such as physical, facial expressions, and tone of voice. At this time, we can use some authentic English nursery rhymes and English stories to give children listening input, so that they can form a language impression in the brain first.

After a period of time, parents can appropriately add some ** materials, such as cartoons and the like, in order to stimulate children's interest in learning. However, it is recommended that parents choose the content that their children are more interested in, and do not use boring textbooks, otherwise children will soon lose interest in learning English.

2. Reading and speaking go hand in hand to improve learning efficiency.

Studies have shown that children with good reading habits can increase the brain's neurons responsible for language processing, story comprehension, sensory and movement-related connections. When reading picture books, not only children's vision, hearing, and feelings will be exercised, but also imagination will be unconsciously generated in the brain, staging a "small theater".

Therefore, it is best to combine the reading of English picture books with sound, so as to promote children's language development through reading, listening and speaking, help them match the relationship between language pronunciation and words, and cultivate children's comprehensive ability.

I think it's best to choose to learn interesting English, so that the child will be more interested and can listen to it, and then let the child practice more.

I think parents should encourage their children more, so that children can be more confident and more willing to speak English.

You should watch more bilingual cartoons, sing more English nursery rhymes, have daily conversations with your child in English, encourage your child to speak English, and give your child some small rewards.

We can use some behaviors to move children, of course, we can also speak English to children or show children some English cartoons, I believe that through such a way, children can also listen.
