Youdao Children's Dictionary Pen K3 Review: A super learning partner that can be used from kindergarten to elementary school

For language learning, starting from around 3 years old to primary school is the best time to lay the foundation. At this time, children have strong memory and imitation ability, and it is also the stage when human curiosity is the strongest. But for children, learning a language actually faces many challenges. Because the strong curiosity of childhood is often accompanied by easy distraction of attention, and it is difficult to maintain long-term concentration, and more companionship and encouragement are needed.

However, not all parents have enough energy to accompany their children. Even if they have the time and energy, they may be powerless due to insufficient knowledge reserves. Therefore, many times, learning with children becomes a headache.

Many companies on the market have come up with their own solutions to make the process of accompanying children in their studies harmonious and efficient, but the truly effective ones are often old brands like NetEase Youdao that have been popular for a long time.

Combining software and hardware to understand pain points, NetEase Youdao launches learning products for children

In the Internet age, students have more ways to acquire new knowledge than just books. Various educational software and hardware have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. NetEase Youdao is one of the few brands that has achieved success in both software and hardware.

In terms of learning hardware, NetEase Youdao has launched a series of products including Youdao Dictionary Pen, Youdao Super Dictionary, and Youdao Translator King, covering various scenarios of listening, speaking, reading, writing, and translating in English learning, providing strong help for many people in their English learning journey.

After observing the various difficulties children face in learning languages, NetEase Youdao combined its experience and advantages in educational software and hardware, and launched the Youdao Children's Dictionary Pen K3, which is specifically designed for children aged 3-12, based on its previous dictionary pen products. It combines professionalism, fun and ease of use, making education fun and allowing children to enjoy the process of learning a language.

As a piece of hardware that helps children learn, the first thing to do is to control the size. Youdao Children's Dictionary Pen K3 is very compact in overall design and weighs only 57 grams. Whether you hold it in your hand or put it in a pencil case, it will not cause any extra burden. It is convenient to carry with you and use at any time.

At the same time, Youdao Children's Dictionary Pen K3 has a strong recognition in appearance. The 1.9-inch screen makes the product more technological and significantly different from ordinary stationery. The skin-friendly material also makes it comfortable to hold.

The appearance and feel are enough to arouse children's curiosity, but the powerful functions are the "dry goods" that can help children learn.

Reading companion is no longer boring, making knowledge "live"

For children, most of their earliest knowledge comes from various cards and picture books, so parents' "reading with them" has become a daily compulsory course. But for younger children, it is difficult to concentrate for a long time and keep interested in reading.

How to solve this problem? This pen provides the answer.

In terms of usage, Youdao Children's Dictionary Pen K3 is simple and trendy. When used with the matching English word cards, you can click to recognize words and read them aloud. The combination of sound, picture and meaning is both interesting and useful, allowing children to learn knowledge imperceptibly while playing.

Scan the Chinese character cards to display the shape and meaning of the characters through vivid images, and use voice playback to explain the origin and meaning of the characters, so that children can strengthen their understanding of new words through the combination of sound, shape and picture.

In conjunction with checking the ancient poetry cards, you can choose to listen to the recitation or explanation of the entire poem, understand the story behind the ancient poem, deepen your impression of the ancient poem, and develop a deeper interest in traditional culture.

In order to better arouse children's interest, Youdao Children's Dictionary Pen K3 is equipped with a variety of children's picture books. The use of picture books is also simple. Click on the cover to select different modes, such as "point reading", "follow reading" and "interactive answering".

There are also hidden secrets in the picture book. If you click on the picture, an animation will be shown while the pronunciation is played, allowing children to understand the content of the picture book while watching the animation, thus arousing their interest in continuing to use it.

If you click on the text part of the picture book, the original text and translation will be displayed, accompanied by real-person reading, which effectively helps children understand the text content.

From the way the children's dictionary pen is used, we can see that Youdao Children's Dictionary Pen K3 can be read at any time, and does not have excessively high requirements for operating accuracy, so it can ensure the fluency of learning and is especially suitable for children.

Youdao Children's Dictionary Pen K3 also has interactive mini-games for some words, which can help children deepen their memory and understanding of words from different angles such as pronunciation, spelling, and meaning by passing levels.

Learning can change from passive to active, and independent learning is not difficult

After going to school, children will encounter more and more new words in their studies. Mom and dad will become "living dictionaries" when studying at home, and will be asked questions by their children.

Youdao Dictionary Pen K3 can "liberate" parents to a certain extent. When encountering new words, they can quickly look up the translation with just a tap. By pulling down, they can also see example sentences, word deformations, fixed collocations and other expanded content, laying a solid foundation for children.

Click the white button on the side of the dictionary pen to call up Matti and ask him questions about various subjects, whether it is rare Chinese characters, mathematical arithmetic or English-Chinese translation.

Many parents are worried that their children will develop "dumb English" in the process of learning English.

The era of great language learning is coming. Learning Chinese is no longer just rote memorization.

In recent years, the country has attached increasing importance to Chinese education. In 2019, primary and secondary school students nationwide can begin to use the Ministry-compiled textbooks for Chinese, and the era of "big Chinese" has arrived. In the recent reforms of the college entrance examination, it is also obvious that the difficulty of the test paper, the amount of reading and the number of questions are also increasing, and Chinese has become the main subject for pulling scores. In the era of big Chinese, higher requirements are placed on students' comprehensive abilities, so it is very important to lay a solid foundation in childhood.
