The first and second grades are the beginning of the entire learning career. If parents help their children do the following five things at this stage, the children will become more and more comfortable in learning and will gradually transition to the independent learning stage. First, focus on literacy. If a child does not know much about literacy, he will not be able to read the text smoothly and will not be able to understand the question requirements. Because you are already in school, you can no longer rely solely on extracurricular reading and daily literacy. The first thing to solve should be textbooks. First of all, make sure you know every word that appears in the textbook. The children should read the exercises they usually do aloud and recognize the common words in the questions. When a child masters all the new words in class, he will at least have no problem learning. At the same time, learn more words through extracurricular reading. While reading, you can ask them to circle the words they don\’t know or understand, and then look them up in the dictionary or ask an adult to understand them. If you persist for a long time, it will not only help children develop a good habit of reading, but also increase their literacy, learn new vocabulary, and improve their expression skills. Second, grasp calculations. Calculation is the foundation, and the addition, subtraction and multiplication tables within twenty learned in first and second grade are the basis of calculation. Some students cannot keep up with the calculation speed in senior grades and their accuracy rate is low. The root cause is that they failed to pass the calculations in the first and second grade. There is no shortcut to improving computing power. The only way is to practice every day, form muscle memory, and ensure accuracy first and then improve speed. At that time, my daughter had to count on her fingers for half a day to add and subtract within ten. It is no exaggeration to say that the first time the child was timed to do addition and subtraction within 20, she did 20 tasks for nearly 5 minutes. Crying while doing it. I comforted her that she is not afraid of how slow she is now. The slower she goes, the greater the room for progress. Later, I asked my children to clock in and practice calculations every day, starting with within ten, and gradually increased to within twenty, and then within one hundred. Slowly, she became able to add and subtract within 20 words. In the third grade, she was teased by her classmates as the \”Auntie Calculator\”. Third, grasp ancient poems. In first and second grade, it is the time when children have the best memory. Things memorized at this time are not easy to forget. The ancient poems are short, have strong rhymes, are catchy and can be read quickly, making them especially suitable for morning reading. What I use at home is the following book \”Primary School Students Must Memorize Ancient Poems 75+80\”, which contains 75 essential ancient poems for the entire primary school stage, and an additional 80 additional poems. The basic test points for primary school are all here. At first, I did not force my child to memorize it. I just used the morning reading time every day to read the ancient poems well, and then used mind maps to understand the meaning. As he read, he memorized it naturally. Able students can also add simple classical Chinese. There is no pressure to study in the first and second grades. Let the children memorize ancient poems and classical Chinese more often, so that they won’t have to spend time on this in the senior grades. Fourth, pay attention to preview and review. Preview and review are two indispensable links in the learning process. This is not only a matter of learning methods, but also a key step in cultivating children\’s independent learning habits. Through preview, children can understand the knowledge in advance, and can better interact with teachers in class. When they come back, they can start writing homework with just a brief review. This effect allows children to learn twice the result with half the effort. Reviewing is the consolidation of knowledge. Especially mathematics, which are closely related to each other.If there is copper leakage on the surface, problems will arise if you continue to learn new knowledge later, and in the end you will become increasingly unable to keep up. Therefore, the best way to learn is to study every day and every week without leaving any doubts. When parents come back every day, they will review what they learned today and then do their homework. At the weekend or after each unit, ask the children to recall what knowledge points they have learned. It would be better if they could draw a mind map, and then compare it with the textbook to see if there is anything missing or misremembered. That is the key point of review. After reviewing a unit, you should take time to complete a set of unit papers to test whether you have really mastered them all. Finally, don’t forget to copy the wrong questions into the wrong question book and review them regularly. Five, focus on writing. Don’t think that writing is only available in the third grade, and there is no need to worry about it in the first or second grade. The first and second grades are the golden period for developing children’s writing skills and accumulating writing materials. There are two particularly good ways that parents can teach their children to improve their writing. The first is syntax expansion. It can help children make their sentences more specific. My kids and I often play this game. Let me say this: I eat apples. Then my child and I would add time, place or various adjectives in turn. The child will say: I eat a big, red apple. I continue to add content: On Sunday, I eat a big, red apple. By analogy, a few simple words are expanded into a long, more specific sentence. The second method is the five senses method. The five-sense method makes articles more vivid by describing the five senses (sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste). For example, when describing a raining scene, we can say that big raindrops fell and the ground became wet after a while (visual). The raindrops fell \”tick-tock-tick\”, crisp and sweet (auditory). Raindrops fall on the palms, bringing a slight sense of coolness (tactile sensation). The air in the rain is especially fresh, with the fragrance of earth and grass (smell). Imagine that fruits moistened by rain will be sweeter and juicier (taste). Children in first and second grade need to pay more attention to their parents. Once the children establish good habits, learning will be worry-free!
