幼儿书写的特点

language1

在新加坡幼儿园执教这几年,发现家长们对孩子的华文学习有几大问题

  1. 为什么家长和幼儿说华语,幼儿还是用英文回答?
  2. 为什么幼儿讲华语句子中间还是掺杂英文?
  3. 如何让幼儿学习写华文字?这些是家长们普遍存在的疑问,由于最近在教大班的幼儿习字,那我们就来谈一谈关于幼儿学习写华文字的问题吧!

在新加坡社会,华文作为华人的第二语言,处于很尴尬的地位,不学不行,学又很难。这就需要老师或者家长在教导华文时注意幼儿的心理变化,过早开发或者过渡开发容易导致幼儿对华语的抵触情绪。再有,幼儿所写的字需要与幼儿的生活相关。

幼儿学习书写的方式要经历尝试和探索的过程。他们先觉得好玩儿在纸上涂涂画画,继而慢慢了解写字的各种形式,开始尝试写出类似文字的东西。当他们真的有了记录的愿望,知道了写字用途之后,知道汉字并不仅仅是符号,他们是有一定的意义的,并且可以通过他们表达情感、进行记录后,才能够主动地进行书写活动。

语言能力无论是印入性的(例如听和阅读)还是表达性的(例如说和写),都是建立在对语言内容的理解的基础上。所以盲目的灌输、练习书写是不行的,要让幼儿明白书写的字是什么意思,才可以事半功倍。写一百遍的“开心”,但不明白那两个字的意义也是不行的。也不要机械的只是书写,容易让幼儿产生厌烦情绪,可以尝试把字变得有意义、有趣。例如“哭”字,在书写时,可以和幼儿讲解字的结构与意义的关系—上面两个口像眼睛一样,点就像眼泪一样。这样,幼儿就可以在愉快地氛围下牢记一个字怎么写。

幼儿在书写的过程中,会出现高频字、镜像书写和特殊的“笔画”、以图代字。这四个方面的特点,指示4-6岁的儿童的书写发展与图画的关系非常密切。所以学前期幼儿的习字不宜太难,应与儿童生活密切相关的字为主,例如“抹布”,可能很多幼儿连抹布是什么样子都不知道,没有概念,只是一味地书写也还是不能记住并且应用。

所以,幼儿的前书写活动的目标不在于书写了多少字词,以及写得好不好等。而是在绘画书写活动的过程中,激发幼儿对书写的兴趣。

Testimonial from Tian Ming’s Daddy and Mommy

Sand Play

My child turns 2 years old this year, and we were first attracted by the clean and neat environment at Niwa Schoolhouse on our first visit, especially the indoor playground on second floor, which I feel that my son would like very much. After meeting up with his class teachers who look very patient and nice, we immediately made up our mind to register at Niwa Schoolhouse. After these two months of schooling at Niwa Schoolhouse, we feel that we have made a great choice. The teachers are very warm and professional. My child likes the school very much, and he is eager to go to school every morning. We have also discovered that our child’s language and social skill have made remarkable progresses within these two months. Overall, we are very satisfied and we feel lucky with our preschool choice for our child.

Regards,

Tian Ming’s Daddy and Mommy

It isn’t easy building something out of nothing

Especially when the road ahead’s a rocky one

But if we gather all our courage and conviction

And hold our dream up high

The challenge will be won

Party 1

In celebration of Singapore’s 50th birthday, the Niwa-ians and staff at Niwa Schoolhouse have jointly prepared a spectacular birthday present entitled, ‘Our Heart, Our Home, Our Singapore.’ for our motherland.

Happy Birthday Singapore

The birthday gift is a model map of Modern Singapore created using a mixed media of art techniques such as ‘body painting’, ‘collage’, ‘modelling’ and ‘drawing’ by the passionate children and adults at Niwa Schoolhouse.

On this map, not only you will spot some of Singapore’s iconic landmarks namely, ‘Marina Bay Sand’, ‘Gardens by the Bay’, ‘Jubilee Bridge’, ‘Singapore Flyer’,‘ Changi Airport’, but also less symbolic landmarks like ‘Seletar Air Base’ and ‘Singapore Zoo’ which are intentionally and strategically placed and located on the masterpiece.

A birthday celebration is not complete without a cake and candles.

On the 6th day of August, our Niwa-ians and teachers donned their reds and whites as they sang and clapped along to the traditional song of “Happy Birthday” right before the lovely baked and decorated ‘SG50’ cake.
