How do American children learn their mother tongue?

Generally speaking, in schools in China, American children learn English differently from China children. I am a native American, and my children are in primary school. My American company, emicview, has specially designed courses to train foreign children to learn English to the level of their mother tongue. The following are my views as a father and a teacher.

American children have an English environment. They first learn everyday language at home/in life. When children go to preschool (before the first grade), the teacher mainly teaches them to recognize letters and associate the pronunciation of letters with letters. Children guess the meaning of words and sentences in the book according to the pronunciation of letters, and begin to learn to read and write compositions. They have reading assignments every day and read at least one book suitable for students' English level. After a year, children have read at least hundreds of books. The United States is rich in educational resources, and a large number of books suitable for students' English level can be borrowed free of charge from schools or local libraries. The reading capacity of American students is very large compared with that of China schools, which is also the reason why American students are ahead in humanities courses. Unlike children in China who learn English, children in China spend a lot of time memorizing words. American children learn to read and write mainly according to the pronunciation rules of letters. After American children reach the third grade, teachers will begin to pay attention to correcting their spelling mistakes and demand accurate spelling. Generally speaking, American children spend a lot of time reading and writing, while China children spend a lot of time remembering words.

Talking about Americans learning foreign languages. American universities have foreign language requirements, otherwise they cannot graduate. American elementary schools also offer foreign language courses. Good private middle schools offer hundreds of foreign languages, as long as students choose. Most foreign language teachers in the United States are native speakers. The United States is an immigrant country, so it is relatively easy to find foreign teachers in various mother tongues. American students learn foreign languages, and schools often provide opportunities to study and communicate in that country.

I have my own blog, which can be found on the company's website, mainly focusing on American education-related issues. If you are interested, please tell me your concerns. I can discuss your problem in more detail. In addition, as a father, I think the active participation of parents has an important influence on the healthy growth of children.
