S1E10 Claire Melbourne, Australia Part 2 [Sharing after another year] | Unlocking children’s inner motivation, learning Chinese is enjoyable | Lele family experience sharing

♥ Preface

365 days in a year, how long does it feel to you?

Claire is in the process of children learning Chinese [reading and literacy],

You can feel the length, breadth and depth of a year

Using and reading Chinese is not a class assignment

Listen carefully to their family story.

You will hear many key points and practical methods

There is more about the continuation of parents' emotions

Parent-child game time continues to promote happy memories between families

♥ Key point / Takeaways

- Parents should calm down their hearts first, and [reading and literacy] is the fastest way to achieve independent reading.

- Don't record how many words your child knows, just record the words your child needs to review and create in the environment

- Writing letters to children and lunch notes are great ways to increase reading

- Activate intrinsic motivation, use the library's online collection, try out e-books first, and make sure your child likes them before purchasing physical books

♥ Outline

00:00 This episode invites Claire again to talk about her children's recent learning situation after a year.

01:35 Share the changes in my sister's studies, various and interesting bridge books

04:16 My sister will review the books she has read, and my mother mentioned why she doesn’t like the old version of Doraemon as much?

05:17 My sister will take the initiative to write something, which makes learning to read more fun

06:03 Have you been observing your sister to see if her sensitive period for literacy has arrived? Encourage your child to speak up

08:19 Irene shares her experience: In many families, the eldest child is successful, but the second child should use a different approach.

09:17 When Covid happened, I had more time to accompany my sister to read and learn literacy

11:19 Claire, have you researched other families’ methods of teaching Chinese? Is there anything you can share?

11:44 ①Taiwan requires students to learn phonetic symbols, but other countries do not. They directly provide a lot of reading materials.

13:14 Many families don’t know that not using phonetic symbols can help children achieve independence faster [reading literacy]

13:26 After you have a certain foundation of independent reading, you can learn Zhuyin. At this time, Zhuyin is a tool, not a pain★

14:07 I'm always stuck on Zhuyin Pinyin. I know the words but can't understand the whole sentence. I must read a lot★

14:33 ② Don’t record how many words your child knows★

15:28 The most meaningful record is to observe the children, and what needs to be reviewed more, and to create situations and opportunities for review

16:22 For example: writing letters to children, lunch notes★

17:16 The foundation of language learning is built on continuous reading. Review vocabulary is additional★

17:33 Intrinsic motivation is activated, and you become a little bookworm who loves reading★

18:23 Analysis of the reasons why Chinese schools or online courses may not be useful★

19:25 Before buying a book, I will use the library's online resources and borrow an e-book to make sure my child likes it★

20:10 One day, the child quietly began to read a book he liked before. How did Claire react to his focused look? ★

21:15 Reading and listening to stories. If the eyes are faster, it is ok. I will choose to read the story in the end.

21:48 I bought Chinese and English books, and my child took the initiative to read the Chinese part.

22:42 Irene’s children won’t read English after learning Chinese once. Why? ★

23:36 Parent-child reading really needs to be based on books that the mother can also read

23:53 How do you choose books? Should parents choose or should children choose?

25:40 If the child cannot read every sentence, but can tell the content and meaning, then there is no need to worry★

26:35 Children who are able to read and learn words are able to combine the shape and meaning of words.

27:04 What books do Irene's family read widely? Finally, Taiwan's elementary school textbooks can be read like magazines

28:56 Parents should be careful about whether the mentality of "repeatedly checking whether the child reads the word correctly" will cause pressure on the child★

30:19 Claire is trying to build a small library at home, her collection of books?

31:44 What is the difference between 【Reading and Literacy】 and Chinese schools or online courses? ★

33:24 Claire celebrates that her child remembers the words and is willing to play games with him

34:02 Sharing my experience of returning to Taiwan recently. My children looked at the menu and knew that they had to draw the correct characters to order dishes.

36:16 Airport sign, the child asked a very cute question★

38:02 When I return to Taiwan, I like to collect introductions and menus of various places.

38:14 Thank you for listening. If you have any feedback, please leave a message in the [Audience Question Box]
