Parents attach great importance to their children's education, and most parents will teach their babies how to recognize characters and other things when their children are very young. They don't want their children to lose at the starting line. But only correct teaching can make children better. If incorrect methods are used, it may lead to children's aversion to learning, etc. So how to teach babies how to recognize words better?
How to teach babies to recognize characters
At this point, 'literacy' is just a visual stimulus signal, a reflection of perceptual perception on the shape and geometry of objects, just like recognizing a picture. As babies grow older, their accuracy in recognizing shapes gradually improves, and the time required to distinguish things will gradually decrease. Around the age of four, babies' perception of shapes is the most sensitive, which is most conducive to their learning and literacy.
Teaching babies how to read can be achieved through intentional or unintentional learning, combining their favorite foods, toys, familiar family members, and daily household items. This is not a difficult task for babies. For example, if a baby loves to eat fish, the mother can show the baby a picture of a fish with a fish character next to it. The field is the belly of the fish, and the bottom horizontal line is the tail of the fish. This way, the baby will recognize the word 'fish'.
You can also teach your baby to read some simple poems, such as "Goose Goose Goose", and then combine the pictures and text in the picture book to teach your baby to read one word at a time. Once the child masters this method, they can repeat it a few more times to find the words they commonly recognize in other readings.
The optimal age for learning to recognize characters in treasure books
From the age of three, children's shape perception develops rapidly.
Between the ages of three and seven, as children grow older, their percentage of correctly understanding shapes gradually increases, and the average time required to complete tasks gradually decreases.
At the age of four, children are most sensitive to graphic perception. Text is actually a type of graphic, and Chinese characters are pictographic characters, which are a special type of graphic.
So, at this time, teaching children to read is the best.
Children's learning ability is relatively poor at the beginning, so teaching at the beginning must not be too hasty. Don't try to achieve success overnight, otherwise it will be very good for the baby's development. As parents, when teaching children to read, it is important to have good timing, pay attention to methods, and teach slowly so that the baby can read correctly.
