這裏,是一些前輩爸爸、媽媽的教養經驗和心得。
我們陸續會將它們編輯起來,中英對照,讓你不但可以作為參考,也是育兒路上的支援和後盾。
孩子的記憶會受到很多因素影響,例如年齡、認知發展、情緒是否穩定、有沒有滋擾⋯等等。持之以恆、假以時日,當孩子對新的學習規律熟習了,就自然會印到腦海中,成為他鞏固的知識。
Don’t worry if your child doesn’t remember new characters right away. It takes time.
Memory depends on so many factors such as age, cognitive development, emotional maturity, distractions, and many more. Give your child and yourself grace and time to get used to learning new things and integrating them in their brain.
常規,就是每天、不間斷地和孩子讀一課 — 哪怕只是僅僅一課。這比任何其他方法都湊效。這種常規會在孩子的記憶庫中建立起一個實力基礎,也養成一個好習慣,長遠來說不管對你還是對孩子都能排除很多不必要的挫敗感。
若果你中間停頓了下來,那間歇的時間越長,孩子忘掉的就越多,要重溫的也就變得越多。
因此,慢慢地穩步向前總比「一日打魚、三日曬網」要有效得多。
Consistency is key.
More important than anything else, consistently go over at least one chapter every day with your child. This will build a good habit and foundation in your little one’s memory bank and avoid frustration for both of you.
The longer break you take, the more characters your child will forget and have to review. Better to go slow and steady than to speed through a lot at a time and then stop.
找一個思展圖書的學習拍檔吧。
有時,我們真的需要有那麼一把鼓勵和支援的聲音,需要有個伴。你在家庭教學的路上必定會遇上挫折和疑問,與人分擔總比一個人掙扎輕鬆得多。
和其他家長一起分享彼此的經驗和進度吧。你不但可以更有動力地每天堅持下去,還可以偷師分享別人的「好橋」來教孩子,更可以交上志同道合的新朋友。還有,你也多了一個渠道來炫耀一下你和孩子的成就喔~
Have partners or other people going through Sagebooks Basic Chinese 500 with you.
Sometimes, we could use some encouragement or company. A shared burden is often a lighter burden and though we would hardly call learning to read a burden, it can certainly be frustrating at times.
Sharing your experience with other parents will help you keep each other on track with reading daily, learn new ideas to engage your child, and best of all, make new friends! Plus, you have people with whom to share your successes.
生活難免會不期然地出現各種波折,不可能天天都太平地按計劃學習、閱讀。要是你或是孩子忙累了一天,你發現大家沒辦法安靜下來看書,那就歇一歇,或是乾脆休息一天吧。
又如果你或是孩子在某個關口卡住不前,那也應該停下來,鬆一口氣喔~
千萬不要讓沮喪積聚,影響了長遠的學習意欲啊。
Stop for the day if you or your child is tired or frustrated.
We know that sometimes, life gets in the way of daily reading. If you or your child has had a rough day and it’s coming out during your reading period, it’s okay to stop for the moment or even the day.
If you or your child are getting frustrated at how your child is progressing, take a break or a quick breather.
