Although it is the true inner monologue of many old mothers, ... natural spelling is really not for memorizing words.
Natural spelling is an effective tool to transform listening vocabulary into reading vocabulary.
A 5-year-old American child can communicate freely in English, "listen" and read a lot of picture books. After natural spelling training, he once saw the word desk in a book, and then he spelled the pronunciation of /desk/ with his own spelling knowledge. It suddenly dawned on him that this pronunciation corresponds to the meaning of "desk", so that he can understand the word desk when it appears in books in the future.
China, a 3-year-old child, knows letters and can understand some simple English words. Under the eager expectation of his parents, he began to learn natural spelling. Once he saw the word desk in a book, and then he spelled the pronunciation of /desk/ with his spelling knowledge. Everyone applauded excitedly for him-the baby knows the desk! Then, there is no "then" ... because he doesn't have the real meaning of the pronunciation/desk/in his mind, which is meaningless for autonomous reading.
This is not the time when all other children learn and their own children don't, nor is it the time to finally save enough money to attend the training class! But when the child's ability to listen and distinguish sounds reaches a certain level.
In the book "Being the Best English Learning Planner for Children", Mr. Gai Zhaoquan suggested that only by accumulating 3,000 listening words can you start learning natural spelling, and at the same time, you should combine your child's willingness and interest in reading independently.
Listen to English children's songs, picture books and stories, read graded books and original cartoons, and communicate in English in daily life. You can choose the way of enlightenment according to your parents' English level and your children's hobbies.
It is best to expose children to rhyming languages, such as nursery rhymes and poems, and play rhyming games. Good pronunciation and factor awareness are helpful to learn natural spelling better, because natural spelling is essentially a summary of phonetic rules.
Common excellent prosodic enlightenment books include Mother Goose and Dr. Seuss. In addition, Oxford Reading Tree 1+ 12 wordless book is a sound enlightenment book specially designed for natural spelling.
Natural spelling mainly involves the pronunciation of letters and letter combinations such as short vowels, long vowels and compound vowels. Some textbooks are written in the order of letters A-Z, while others are written according to the frequency of letters. You can choose several sets of different textbooks to read horizontally and deepen your impression. Parents with average English level can choose textbooks that can be read by clicking.
While using textbooks, you can also use graded reading materials such as RAZ and children's rhyming dictionaries to assist learning. In addition, there are many online natural spelling courses, with foreign teachers' blessing and AI intelligence to make natural spelling more efficient.
Not all words conform to the laws of natural spelling. We can only learn and expand through extensive reading.
In addition, there are 220 commonly used visual words in English. If you can master these 220 high-frequency words flexibly, you can get almost 50% reading. Note that "mastering" here means being able to identify and use in different contexts, not mastering Chinese translation.
In recent years, the fire of natural spelling has made people look down on traditional pinyin spelling. In fact, the two have their own advantages and disadvantages, and they are not in conflict. One is to read independently better and faster, and the other is to read each word more accurately, which can complement each other completely.
Natural spelling is suitable for children with early enlightenment and good hearing. However, with the deepening of English learning, more and more vocabularies are needed. By using phonetic notation, we can learn some words with special pronunciation and stress more accurately.
Natural spelling, just like learning Chinese Pinyin, is just a method and means. Our goal is to improve English reading ability through natural spelling. What parents really should pay attention to is how to learn knowledge, get information, be happy physically and mentally, and cultivate happy children with all-round development through English.
