致七年级家长的一封信 | Letter to Parents of Grade 7

尊敬的家长您好： Dear Parents/Guardians,

为帮助孩子高效复习七年级英语、正确订正错题并建立良好的课外阅读习惯，现提供一份可直接执行的指导方案。请按步骤落实，循序渐进即可见效。 To help your child review Grade 7 English effectively, correct errors properly, and build a strong reading habit, here is a practical, step-by-step plan. Please follow the steps consistently.

一、单元复习建议 Unit Review Recommendations

1. 明确本单元重点 Clarify Unit Focus

• 列出本单元核心词汇、短语与功能句型（如问候与自我介绍、表达喜好、描述日常习惯、谈时间与地点）。
• Identify key vocabulary, phrases, and functional sentences (e.g., greetings and self-introduction, expressing likes, daily routines, talking about time and place).

2. 复习核心语法 Review Core Grammar

• 一般现在时与现在进行时（区分习惯 vs. 正在发生的动作）。
• Present Simple vs. Present Continuous (habit vs. action now).
• 一般过去时（规则/不规则动词，时间状语）。
• Past Simple (regular/irregular verbs, time expressions).
• be动词与there be句型（单复数、地点表达）。
• Verb “be” and “there is/are” (singular/plural, place).
• 可数/不可数名词与数量表达（some/any, a few/a little, how much/many）。
• Countable/uncountable nouns and quantity words.
• 主谓一致（尤其第三人称单数）。
• Subject-verb agreement (especially 3rd person singular).
• 比较级与最高级（规则变化与短/长形容词）。
• Comparatives and superlatives (rules for short/long adjectives).
• 情态动词（can, must/has to）与祈使句（课堂/安全规则）。
• Modals (can, must/has to) and imperatives.
• 疑问句与答句（一般疑问、特殊疑问、简略回答）。
• Question forms and short answers.
• 介词（时间in/on/at，地点in/on/under，方向to/from）。
• Prepositions of time/place/direction.

3. 分块学习，循环巩固 Study in Blocks and Spiral Back

• 第1天词汇短语；第2天语法；第3天听说；第4天阅读；第5天写作；第6天综合练习与错题订正；第7天小测与查漏。
• Day 1 vocab/phrases; Day 2 grammar; Day 3 listening/speaking; Day 4 reading; Day 5 writing; Day 6 mixed practice and corrections; Day 7 mini-quiz and gaps.
• 每天15–25分钟，间隔重复（隔天回顾旧内容）。
• 15–25 minutes daily with spaced review.

4. 有效练习方法 Effective Practice

• 词汇：用自制卡片（正面单词，背面例句）；每组7–10个，循环记忆。
• Vocabulary: Flashcards with an example sentence; 7–10 words per set.
• 语法：做少量高质量题，每题写出“规则+例句”；错题立刻订正。
• Grammar: Fewer, high-quality items; write the rule + your own example; correct immediately.
• 听说：跟读课文音频，注意连读与语调；用目标句型做2分钟口头表达。
• Listening/Speaking: Shadow reading; 2-minute speaking using target patterns.
• 阅读：先扫读主旨，再细读细节，最后用关键词复述。
• Reading: Skim for main idea, scan for details, then retell with key words.
• 写作：仿写课文段落，用“起-承-转-合”结构；检查时态、拼写与标点。
• Writing: Model a paragraph; check tense, spelling, punctuation.

5. 小测与反馈 Mini-Checks and Feedback

• 每周一次10分钟小测：词汇听写、语法5题、阅读1段。
• Weekly 10-minute quiz: dictation, 5 grammar items, 1 short reading.
• 用“正确率+易错点+下周改进”做简短反馈。
• Give brief feedback: accuracy, common errors, next-step focus.

二、错题订正指南 Error-Correction Guide

1. 建立错题本 Set Up an Error Log

• 栏目：题目来源/日期、题干、我的答案、正确答案、错误类型（词汇/语法/拼写/标点/理解/表达）、原因分析、改正规则、再练1题。
• Columns: source/date, question, my answer, correct answer, error type, cause, corrected rule, one similar practice.

2. 判定错误类型 Identify Error Types

• 词汇：词义混淆、固定搭配、词形（名/动/形/副）。
• Vocabulary: meaning, collocations, word form.
• 语法：时态、主谓一致、冠词、代词、介词、比较级。
• Grammar: tense, agreement, articles, pronouns, prepositions, degrees.
• 技巧：读题不全、定位错误、审题漏关键信息。
• Test skills: misreading, wrong reference, missing key info.

3. 三步订正 Three-Step Correction

• 找原因：用“因为……所以错”写出具体原因。
• Find cause: state why it went wrong.
• 改规则：用自己能听懂的一句话重述规则+1个新例句。
• Restate the rule in your own words + add a new example.
• 再练巩固：同类题目1–3题，做到全对为止。
• Practice 1–3 similar items until correct.

4. 自查清单 Self-Check Checklist

• 我是否看清题干中的时间、否定、比较等关键信号？
• Did I notice time/negation/comparison cues?
• 主语人称与数是否与动词一致？
• Is subject-verb agreement correct?
• 名词是否可数，数量词是否匹配？
• Countability and quantity words correct?
• 拼写、大小写与标点是否规范？
• Spelling, capitalization, punctuation correct?

5. 复盘与追踪 Review and Track

• 每周归纳3类“高频错因”，制定下周练习点。
• Summarize top 3 error causes weekly and plan targeted practice.
• 两周后回看旧错题，检查是否真正掌握。
• Revisit old errors after two weeks to confirm mastery.

三、课外阅读清单与方法 Recommended Reading and How-To

1. 选书原则 Choosing the Right Level

• 五指法：随机读一页，若生词超过5个，则偏难；1–3个较合适。
• Five-finger rule: 0–3 unknown words per page is suitable; 5+ is too hard.
• 目标理解度：95–98%可独立阅读，保证流畅与自信。
• Aim for 95–98% comprehension for fluency and confidence.

2. 推荐读物（A1–A2难度，适合七年级） Recommended Titles (A1–A2, suitable for Grade 7)

• 分级读物 Graded Readers:
  • Oxford Bookworms Starter/1: The Elephant Man; The Secret Garden (retold).
  • Penguin Readers Level 1–2: Robin Hood; The Railway Children; Anne of Green Gables (retold).
  • Cambridge Discovery Readers Level A1–A2: Volcanoes; Animals in Danger.
• 青少年读物（插图多、语言直白） Light Novels/Series:
  • Magic Tree House series (Mary Pope Osborne).
  • Geronimo Stilton series.
  • Diary of a Wimpy Kid (图文结合，略高于A2，建议在有支持时阅读) — slightly above A2; use with support.
• 短文与网站 Short Articles/Sites:
  • National Geographic Kids: short science/nature texts.
  • British Council LearnEnglish Teens: graded texts with exercises.
  • VOA Learning English: slow-speed news for learners.

提示：如为首次系统英文阅读，优先选择分级读物的较低级别，建立流利感后再升级。
Tip: Start with lower-level graded readers to build fluency, then move up.

3. 家庭阅读执行法 Home Reading Routine

• 每天15–20分钟，固定时间与地点，减少干扰。
• Read 15–20 minutes daily at a fixed time/place.
• 三步阅读：先看题目和图片预测；再快速扫读主旨；最后细读标注关键词。
• Three steps: preview title/pictures, skim for main idea, scan and annotate keywords.
• 做“阅读卡” Reading Card（3–5行）：
  • 书名/篇名＋日期；
  • 新词3–5个（含中文释义或英文解释）；
  • 1句最喜欢的英文句子＋理由；
  • 1个与文本相关的问题或收获。
  • Title/date; 3–5 new words; 1 favorite sentence + why; 1 question or takeaway.
• 每周口头复述一次（1–2分钟），家长用3个问题引导：谁/哪里/发生了什么？
• Weekly 1–2 minute oral retell; parents ask: Who/Where/What happened?

4. 遇难词与不查词策略 Handling Unknown Words

• 不影响理解时先跳过，用上下文猜测。
• Skip if meaning is guessable from context.
• 重复出现仍不懂再查，查后立刻造句并加入词卡。
• Look up only repeated/important words; then make a sentence and add to flashcards.

家长如何支持 Parental Support

• 监督执行时间与步骤，不需纠正每个语法点，先肯定流利度与理解。
• Monitor time and steps; praise fluency and understanding first.
• 与孩子共同设小目标（如本周读完2篇、词汇卡20张）。
• Set small weekly goals together (e.g., 2 texts, 20 flashcards).
• 每周5分钟查看错题本与阅读卡，提出1个鼓励性问题。
• Spend 5 minutes weekly reviewing the error log and reading cards; ask one encouraging question.

四、建议时间表 Suggested Weekly Schedule

• 周一：词汇＋语音跟读（15–20分钟）
• Mon: Vocabulary + pronunciation practice (15–20 min)
• 周二：语法点＋巩固题（20分钟）
• Tue: Grammar + practice (20 min)
• 周三：听力＋口语输出（20分钟）
• Wed: Listening + speaking (20 min)
• 周四：阅读（课外）＋阅读卡（20分钟）
• Thu: Extensive reading + reading card (20 min)
• 周五：写作（80–120词短文）＋自查清单（20分钟）

• 周末：综合复习＋错题订正（30分钟）；10分钟小测
• Weekend: Review + error correction (30 min); 10-min mini-quiz

结语 Closing 请与孩子一同制定可执行的周计划，按步骤稳步推进。如需个性化清单或本单元重点清点，我将根据孩子的课堂与测评情况提供定制建议。 Please set a realistic weekly plan with your child and follow the steps steadily. If you need a personalized checklist or unit focus map, I will provide tailored advice based on classwork and assessments.

祝学习顺利！
