Many parents pay more attention to their children's test scores when their children enter the first grade of elementary school. If their children often score 100 points on the test, parents will breathe a sigh of relief. After entering the third grade, they feel that their children are beaten. Less energy and time are spent on children.
However, parents should have heard of the "third grade phenomenon". Excellent performance of children in first and second grade is sometimes a "false" phenomenon. Whether they are really excellent can be seen in third grade or even higher grades. . 01. What is the "third grade phenomenon"?
Many parents find that after their children enter the third grade, the following phenomena will occur, so they are confused, what is wrong with their children?
When I was in the first or second grade, I often scored 100 points on the test. Why did my score suddenly drop to 90 points after entering the third grade?
My children used to obey me, but now they always contradict me and always talk back?
Even though he signed up for a training class, why did his homework error rate get even higher?
I obviously signed up for a hard-tipped calligraphy class, but why have I become more impetuous in writing since I entered third grade?
Why are children who used to love reading so lazy to read extracurricular books now?
Children who used to consciously go back to their rooms to do homework after school, why do they always have to be pushed to do it now? And write and play?
Why is this child who used to be very attentive now always forgetful about things, and what adults say always goes in one ear and out the other?
......
In fact, the above phenomena are common situations that occur after children enter third grade, and they are also a phenomenon summarized by many parents and teachers.
It is said that "the third grade is a hurdle." Whether a child can successfully overcome this hurdle will determine the quality of his or her future studies.
Judging from some of the children's behaviors, the so-called "third grade phenomenon" is nothing more than an external projection of the child's inner physical and mental conflict. 02. The children who were firmly in the top two grades in the first and second grade actually got more than 20 places in the midterm exam of the third grade
My daughter is also in the third grade this year. During the midterm exam of their class, the scores of several children dropped. It is very obvious that one of the boys had the same score as my daughter in the first and second grades. Basically, either you were first in the total score or I was first. But this time, the Chinese and science test scores in the midterm exam were both over 80. In the previous exams, I basically got full marks.
The same is true for another girl. She often got full marks in Chinese language exams before, but this time she got over 80 points, and she cried for a long time because of it.
From the situation of these two children, I found that they both had more points deducted for their Chinese language exams. Perhaps they had not accumulated enough reading experience before, so now they have become weak in writing. 03. The reason for the "third grade phenomenon"
The most intuitive feeling of many third grade parents is that their children's test scores dropped significantly after entering the third grade. Originally, there were never any children with scores lower than 95 in the first and second grades. , after entering the third grade, the test scores were over 80 or even over 70, which was difficult for many parents who had always been confident in their children's performance to accept.
The reason why this situation occurs is actually mainly related to the following factors:
First, the knowledge points are relatively simple and have been mastered by preschoolers.
Many of the knowledge points in the first and second grades of elementary school were learned in preschool and are relatively simple to learn. Therefore, it is easier for children to learn after entering the first and second grades of elementary school; in addition, the knowledge in the first and second grades of elementary school It is relatively simple and can be mastered by children without any effort.
Second, parents are more concerned about their children’s learning.
When children are in first or second grade, they are more dependent on teachers and parents. At this time, when children have just entered elementary school, parents are more concerned about their children's learning and pay close attention to their children's learning. It is relatively tight, so the children are relatively active in learning.
Third, children do not have enough reading accumulation.
After entering the third grade, the test content will be relatively broad, and it is not just the knowledge in the textbook. This requires the children to continuously acquire a lot of extracurricular knowledge; in addition, although the first and second grade of elementary school also have simple reading Compositions written with pictures require a small number of words, and there are not too high requirements for the articles. As long as the key elements are written, the sentences are smooth, and there are no typos, many children will not be deducted points for their compositions.
After entering the third grade of elementary school, the proportion of Chinese composition scores increases, basically 25-30 points. If the child does not have good reading accumulation before, the child will have difficulty in writing, so that the composition score will be too low, which will seriously lower the Chinese test scores.
In addition, in Chinese language exercises and examinations, reading comprehension becomes more difficult, grammar knowledge increases, and children are required to have a relatively high grasp of words, sentences, and words.
Fourth, the child’s handwriting is irregular.
After entering third grade, children begin to use pens to write. It is inevitable that children will not adapt to new writing tools when they first use them. If children sit in the first or second grade when writing with pencils and hold the pen irregularly, then Writing is even worse when pens are used in third grade.
Some children like to correct their homework and write papers, and some children like to write in two-color ratios. After wiping with a friction pen and then writing, the two-color ratio will easily appear. The result is that the papers will be untidy. Points will be deducted.
Fifth, poor understanding ability, easy to give up
From the third grade, children’s learning subjects become more abundant, and the test questions also become more difficult, and their mathematical understanding and analysis skills need to be strengthened. . For children with weak reading comprehension skills in grades one and two, they will encounter difficulties at this time. Some children will give up and even give up overcoming these factors. 04. Parents are familiar with these methods and should be wary of the "third grade phenomenon" in their children
① Cultivate children's high-quality reading habits.
Now we are all talking about the "Great Chinese Era". In fact, from another point of view, reading will have an important impact on children, and this impact is not just on the subject of Chinese, but on It will affect the child's overall learning and be related to other aspects of development.
Therefore, parents should cultivate their children's good reading habits and reading skills in advance, so that their children can improve their understanding through reading, expand their scope of knowledge, and improve their ability to draw parallels.
② From passive learning to active learning
Let children change from passive learning to active learning. Parents can no longer supervise their children at any time like they did in first and second grade, so that children can get used to their parents. Supervise from behind. If you relax without supervision, you won’t know what to do.
Only children who take the initiative to learn can take the initiative, find joy in learning, and actively improve their abilities in all aspects according to their learning needs.
③ Cultivate self-control and emotional management
Some children are too playful and like to play while studying. Parents need to intervene, because children cannot develop it in the first or second grade. If you have good study habits and lack self-control, you will become more undisciplined after entering third grade.
Although "third grade is a hurdle", learning is a step-by-step process. As long as parents are aware of this, they can provide more guidance to their children, help them overcome this hurdle, and lay a solid foundation. I believe that children will be able to learn with ease after entering senior grades.
