In the first class, Lin Qing not only asked them to introduce themselves to him, but also inquired about the children's learning situation, and got to know the children's background.
The children don’t even know the basic words, so let’s not talk about other things. From today on, their first task is to learn to read.
She explained the meaning of the Thousand Character Classic that Maomao had just recited, and then said to the children, "From today on, your task is to learn these characters. Not only must you be able to read them, but you must also understand their meanings and be able to write them out from memory."
The children below were obviously bitter and resentful. It turns out that studying is not fun at all! There are tasks and requirements!
Lin Qing knocked on the blackboard. "Today is the first day. I only want you to remember these four words above. I will write them again stroke by stroke. You use your writing board to write after me. Don't forget the order of writing."
The children immediately took out their writing boards and began to follow Lin Qing's instructions, writing stroke by stroke, from top to bottom, from left to right. Although their handwriting was crooked, their eyes were bright and they wrote very seriously.
Some villagers were reluctant to leave. They stood outside the window, watching their little kids who were sniffing and writing in an imitative manner. They were very happy in their hearts. They had been farming for generations, and now there was a literate kid in their family. How could they not be happy?
In order to prevent children from not knowing the order of writing and just copying randomly.
Lin Qing separated the character "天" (sky) stroke by stroke. He first wrote a horizontal stroke, then two horizontal strokes, then a left stroke, and finally a right stroke. How to write the character "天" was displayed on the blackboard.
Lin Qing also separated the next few characters in the same way as before, taught them how to write them, and told them to copy the word "Fang" stroke by stroke on their own writing boards. After they finished writing, they had to let her review it before they could go home.
After hearing what the teacher said, the children, each with a head as big as a drum, began to copy in a hurry.
This is when the quality of the blackboard is revealed. If you are not satisfied with what you have written, you can wipe it and write again.
In addition, Lin Qing had broken down all the characters, showing each stroke clearly what to write first and what to write next. Although the children had never written before, under Lin Qing's guidance, they quickly corrected their mistakes after making a few mistakes.
Although the characters were written crookedly, the stroke order was correct.
Maomao was the first to finish writing four big characters. He looked around at Datou, Xiaotou and Qijin who were sitting beside him, and found that they only had the last character left, so he waited patiently for them to finish.
After the four of them had finished writing, Maomao raised his hand to signal them that they were done.
The others were a little nervous waiting for the teacher's comments.
Lin Qing stepped forward and nodded. "You must practice more when you go back. Remember the words you learned today. I'll teach you how to write them in the exam tomorrow. Go back!"
Looking at the four people who left the classroom first, the others who were still in the classroom did not dare to slack off and wrote even more seriously.
The three of them followed Maomao out of the classroom in a daze, holding their writing tablets.
Qi Jin said nervously, "What should I do? I just wrote the words, and I forgot how to write them again."
The little head echoed, "Me too. The teacher is going to test us tomorrow. What should we do?"
Maomao tilted his head, thought for a moment, and said, "My second sister said that learning requires constant repetition and extensive practice. We've only been studying for a short while, so it's normal to forget. You've copied everything on your writing board, so just keep practicing when you get home. It's not difficult."
"After we have dinner, can we come to you and practice with us? You can also correct us if we write anything wrong!" Big Head suggested.
Maomao straightened his body and nodded without hesitation, "Okay, just come!"
After the four friends had discussed it, they happily went home.
Although the remaining children's handwriting was crooked, they finished writing very seriously. After getting Lin Qing's approval, they hugged their small blackboards with happy faces and skipped home.
When Li Yan came over again, the only people left in the classroom were the young people who had been standing at the back of the classroom. They were placed at the back because they had not prepared a small blackboard in advance.
Lin Qing gave them chalk and asked them to write in front of the blackboard like the boys just now. They could not go back until they finished writing.
They were all older than the boy just now, so their comprehension and learning abilities were naturally better than those boys just now. Although they did not practice with a writing board, they had followed Lin Qing when she was writing, so they had no difficulty in writing.
"The same goes for you. Go back and practice more. We'll test you tomorrow as well."
Several people nodded, said goodbye to Lin Qing, and hurried home. They still needed to return home as soon as possible to find a wooden board to make a writing board.
After everyone left, Li Yan walked into the classroom and praised with a smile, "Cousin, you did a great job!"
When Lin Qing saw that it was his cousin, he suddenly relaxed.
She tried her best to imitate the way her father taught in class, with a solemn and dignified expression on her face. This was also because she was a teenager and was worried that she would not be able to intimidate this group of naturally naughty children.
Maybe it was because they were told by their parents at home to study hard in school, or maybe it was because the opportunity to study was rare, but both children, young and old, were very eager to learn to read. Everyone worked very hard to cooperate in learning to read, and a sense of satisfaction surged in her heart!
Lin Qing was very happy to see Li Yan coming over and said, "Your method is really good. While teaching the children to recognize characters, you write down how to write each character stroke by stroke on the side. After a day of practice, they will be able to write it."
"Unlike before, when my father taught me to read, he would write on cut pieces of paper. He would write one word on each scrap of paper. We only memorized the word, but we didn't know how it was written stroke by stroke."
"That's because your uncle saw that you were still young, so he asked you to memorize the characters first. When you are older and can sit still, he will teach you how to write!"
Lin Qing smiled, but she still felt that this method was good and very intuitive, instead of just memorizing the words hastily.
In fact, at that time, some wealthy families would wait until their children were three or four years old, could speak clearly and had some knowledge, and then they would use square wooden boards, paint them, and write "Thousand Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Names" on them.
If a child learns ten characters, or three or five characters every day, and the child learns more characters, the wet nurse or maid who takes care of the child will be rewarded. In time, the people around the child will try every means to help the child learn to read. After about a year, the child can be sent to a private school.
