Palfish AI, an enlightenment education platform designed for children. With English enlightenment, natural spelling, etc., to cultivate children's listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills, laying the foundation for children to improve their comprehensive language skills. [Introduction to learning content] According to Bloom’s cognitive pyramid combined with children’s cognitive characteristics and the law of language acquisition, the curriculum is divided into 4 learning levels. The 4 levels are: Level 1 is suitable for children receiving early education. According to the characteristics of the child's physical and psychological development and the development characteristics of the sensitive period, targeted guidance and training are provided to lay a good foundation for the cultivation of children's multiple intelligences and healthy personality; Level 2 is suitable for children with zero foundation. The focus is on the cultivation of English interest and language awareness. Students can use common words or sentences in daily life to answer questions and make some daily expressions; Level 3 is suitable for children with a certain foundation in English. The emphasis is on the learning of natural spelling, mainly the application of letters and letter combinations in the language Level 4 is suitable for children who have studied English systematically. The emphasis is on the improvement of reading ability and the cultivation of expression ability. [I heard that the basics of entry are consolidated] The course follows the law of language learning, the order of listening, speaking, reading and writing, and the cognitive characteristics of the child. The basics of listening and speaking are built first, and language learning is transformed into fun games, exploratory activities, and participation in interaction, so that children can play and learn. Through a lot of exploration, experience and participation, learn vocabulary and dialogue related to daily life, and improve the communication ability mainly based on listening and speaking. [Reading ability training] With the foundation of listening and speaking, language learning began to extend to reading. Through the accumulation of listening and speaking vocabulary and the learning of natural spelling, children can establish the connection between letters and letter sounds. When reading picture books, through meaningful interactions, they can effectively help children understand what is being read. At the same time, the course sets up reading, drawing and painting activities that are in line with the cognitive characteristics of children of this age group, which fully mobilizes children's learning interest and allows children to develop good English learning habits in fun learning. To strengthen and consolidate the learning effect, each lesson of the Banyu Enlightenment Course is equipped with a test and a test link, and a homework link is set after each new content review, forming an effective learning closed loop.
