The study found that the greater the vocabulary size of a 2 year old child, the higher his achievement might be when he grew up.
Phoenix Technology News August 25th news, according to the British daily post, researchers said your child was at the age of two. The vocabulary size may reveal their future success. The researchers found that when children start kindergarten, children with better academic and behavioral functions often get better educational and social opportunities when they grow up. They say kindergarten children with higher reading and math level are more likely to go to college, own their own houses, get married and live in high income communities. The vocabulary of
children at the age of two may reveal their future success
this study points to the early roots of the difference in readiness for admission, in which the growth of vocabulary plays a particularly important role. The study found that 2 year old kindergarten children with greater oral vocabulary could be better prepared for academic and behavioral perspectives than peers.
the study was conducted by researchers at the Penn State University, the University of California at Irvine, and Columbia University. They analyzed the national representative data of 8650 children in the early childhood study - the birth cohort (ECLS-B). The study was published in the journal children's hair. The exhibition.
the vocabulary of two year olds was measured by a parent survey, and their academic achievement in the kindergarten was evaluated by measuring reading and mathematical levels. Kindergarten teachers assessed the frequency of self-discipline and anxiety behaviors independently. The researchers have considered a series of background features (such as sociodemographic Statistics) and experiences (parenting quality) to better separate the role of the growth of vocabulary.
they investigated whether two year olds with greater oral vocabulary had better academic and behavioral performance after entering kindergarten. As early as two years of age, the difference in oral vocabulary between specific groups of children is obvious. Among them, high income families, women and children with high quality child care experience have greater oral vocabulary than their peers. Children with low birth weight or from families with maternal health problems have less oral vocabulary.
three years later, when researchers re - investigated the children, they found that children with greater spoken vocabulary at the age of two were more prepared for academic and behavioral aspects of kindergarten, with better reading and mathematical achievements, better self-discipline, and less expression of anxiety. Act。 This oral lexical advantage can not be explained by many other factors, including children's own cognitive and behavioral functions and family social and economic resources.
"our findings provide conclusive evidence that the importance of oral vocabulary in promoting children's early development from a multifaceted level". Paul Morgan, an associate professor of education at Penn State University, said Paul Morgan, who led the research. "Our findings are also in line with previous work, which shows that parents who are stressed, heavier, less busy and less social support chat, interact and tell less stories with their children, which leads to less oral vocabulary for their children."
Research Co - author George Farkas (George Farkas), a professor of education at the University of California at Irvine, added: "the differences in oral vocabulary have already appeared at the age of two. Effective early intervention in increasing children's oral vocabulary may help two year olds prepare for academic and behavioral perspective for subsequent kindergarten entry. Interventions should be targeted at children who are two years old who are living in a disadvantaged family environment. The interventions such as
can include family visits, that is, nurses visit her regularly before and after the first pregnant mother's pregnancy, help to deal with childcare, and connect them with social services and other support systems. These may play an important role in the school readiness of children who are growing up in a disadvantaged family environment, the study authors said. (compiling / Yan Yan Liu Xing)
