我老大今年考11+,基本自学。高分考到一家全国最拔尖的公立文法学校。
老夫闲来无事,只好找分心的项目,不给娃添乱。
说来单词积累是11+考试里面最难突击,也是VR部分最吃分的考核内容。
这么说吧,两个成绩一模一样的考生(精确到小数点两位),如果一个是在NVR上得分,一个是在VR上。收VR高分那个。
记忆单词这个过程也是非常有效的一个学习框架(成龙大哥可能不同意)。记忆单词这个过程比较机械化,枯燥。但是他很结构化(structured)目标和测评都很明确。比较适合孩子自行掌握,安排学习计划,学习时间管理 - 安排见缝插针的时间。
我们能够做的是让记忆单词这个过程变的不太枯燥 - 通过应用大量例句,在使用中记忆。
