Teaching primary school students to read and writeThe following is an example of teaching elementary school students how to read:
* * 1. Introduction and Stimulation of Interested **
1. You can use topics, situations, or interesting stories related to the new word to draw out the new word you want to learn. For example, if you want to teach new words about the seasons, you can first describe the characteristics and scenes of the seasons to arouse the students 'curiosity and interest.
2. Use multi-media (such as pictures, videos, etc.) to show pictures related to new words. For example, when teaching the word "bird", show pictures or videos of birds to let the students feel it intuitively.
* * II. Teaching of literacy **
1. * * First time reading new words **
- With the help of Pinyin, the students were allowed to try out new words and familiarize themselves with the pronunciation of new words.
- Find a study partner to help read new words and correct pronunciation errors.
2. * * Explain new words **
- * * In terms of font **
- For pictographic characters, one could use the pictographic method. For example, he could teach the students how to compare the shapes of the characters with the real objects (the sun and the moon), or he could let the students draw them themselves.
- As for the understanding words, they could be demonstrated by body movements or explained through the association of the parts of the words. For example, the word "look" could be understood by putting a student's hand on their eyes and demonstrating the action. As for the word "brush", it introduced the structure of the ancient brush and let the students associate the relationship between the word "bamboo" and "hair" with the object.
- As for pictophonetic characters, the role of the shape and sound was emphasized. For example,"Qing, Qing, Jing, Qing", first analyze the meaning of the shape side (three water, next to the word, next to the word) and the word, and then point out the "Qing" beside the sound. For the easily confused pictophonetic characters, such as "debate, debate, braid, flap", they can be distinguished by the form of pictures and texts, such as "debate" is related to the debate,"debate" is related to the determination, etc.
- * * In terms of pronunciation **
- The teacher would read the new words and ask the students to pay attention to the parts and methods of pronunciation, especially those words that were easy to mispronounce.
- Read new words in various ways, such as reading in groups, reading by train, etc., to strengthen the mastery of pronunciation.
- * * In terms of meaning **
- Explain the meaning of the word with simple examples or practical examples. For example, to teach the word "run", one could say,"We need to use our feet when running", emphasizing the connection between the word "foot" and the meaning of the word.
- Demonstrate the meaning of words with objects. For example, when teaching the word "take", the teacher could demonstrate the action of taking something.
3. * * Remembering new words **
- Students were encouraged to share their methods of memorizing new words, such as making up pithy formulas, doggerel, etc. For example,"boil water to make bubbles, light a fire to set off firecrackers, run when you have enough, eat when you have enough, meet your compatriots when the moon is full, the flood rises to the thenar, Nüwa creates people and all things, carries goods with her hands, takes ten months to conceive and give birth, plays the piano with your heart, and uses water to practice."
- Games could be used to help students memorize new words, such as card games (random reading, answering, etc.).
* * 3. Consolidating Practice **
1. Using exercise books or self-made exercises, the students were asked to practice writing new characters. The teacher inspected and guided them, emphasizing the stroke order and position of the new characters in the grid.
2. They could play small games in the classroom, such as picking fruits (new words were displayed on the screen, and students clicked on the fruits corresponding to the correct pronunciation or meaning of the words), or group competitions, using new words to form words and sentences.
* * 4. Expansion and conclusion **
1. Ask the students to show the words or sentences related to new words that they have collected after class to expand their vocabulary.
2. The teacher summarized the new words learned in this lesson, emphasizing the key points and difficulties, and encouraging the students to use the new words in their daily lives.
