5. Experts suggest golden rules
1.Enter the look-ahead principle:After your listening vocabulary reaches 1,000 words, you can then learn spelling systematically.
2.i+1 theory:The difficulty control of learning materials is increased by 10%-15% from the current level.
3.5 minute rule:Each time you learn new content, repeat it every 5 minutes, and the memory retention rate will increase by 40%.
4.Three primary colors teaching method:Visual (picture book) + auditory (audio) + kinesthetic (game) multi-modal input.
According to the latest survey data, children who insist on 30 minutes of scientific enlightenment every day will generally have English proficiency that is two school years higher than that of their peers after three years. The key is to choose a method that suits your child's cognitive development stage and avoid blindly pursuing progress. It is recommended that parents record their children's language milestones every month and dynamically adjust learning strategies.
