“Children are like buds on a branch,” let them learn while playing and play while learning. Use games like word puzzles, shape sorting, coloring, and role-playing to help children absorb knowledge naturally and enthusiastically. Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan, an elementary education expert in Hanoi, also emphasizes the importance of learning through games in her book “Secrets to Teaching First Graders.”
Learning Through Images and Sounds
Vivid images and sounds will help children remember faster. Use flashcards, videos, and Vietnamese songs to create excitement for children. For example, when teaching the word “cá” (fish), you can show them a picture of a fish and play the sound of a fish.

Take your child outside, explore the world around them. Point out signs, street name signs, newspapers… and guide them to read. This helps children connect knowledge with real life, increasing their ability to remember and apply what they learn.
