Being a parent seems harder than ever. Society demands more and more from children, and in order to meet the priorities of the new time, family people have to work a lot. They need to fully engage in the full development of their child. It is important to spend enough time and effort on this, approach the learning process in a scientifically sound, and at the same time childishly playful way. Having a baby through the sleeves is like not having to do it at all. Indeed, in this subtle issue, not only the result itself is important, but also the learning process, its comfort for the child, the individual interest of the baby in the mechanism of play and learning.

One of the most important stages in the development of any preschooler is the formation of reading skills. Today, there are many techniques that help teach this child. For example, there is a teaching technique for reading a preschooler in 15 lessons. Of course, to believe or not to believe that it is possible to teach him to read effectively and not traumatically for the psyche of a child in just two weeks is up to you. However, the existence of many quality methods is confirmed by practice. In this article we will consider some of them.

Traditional technique

This teaching methodology is still one of the most common today. With its help, most of the current adults got the reading skill. Also, it is precisely this technique that is now used in absolutely all schools - it is universal.

According to this, it should be done in stages: first letters, then syllables, later words and so on. Awareness of the scheme of combining sounds into whole phrases comes to the child gradually, some require more time than others.

Also, much depends on the literal age of the child. A one-year-old baby is quite able to memorize letters, but he will not be able to master the reading skill. To do this, you must be able to understand the patterns inherent in this process, which is so incapable of such a small child.

It takes patience. Children often forget what they just read. The process is new, and sometimes the child sets the pace of classes himself.

The main advantage of this method is its reliability. Regardless of the child’s abilities, he will learn to read anyway.

Cubes of Zaitsev

The technique under consideration helps to learn reading through the perception of syllables. It actively uses a variety of cubes, as well as colorful tables. According to some reviews, many parents have some difficulties. They are connected with the fact that not everyone is able to determine how it would be correct to use all these manuals for training. Practice has shown that this technique achieves its greatest effectiveness only when interacting in a group. Thus, classes with the help of Zaitsev cubes in kindergartens and various development centers will help to get the maximum result in the minimum time.

Glenn Doman's Technique

The considered method of teaching a preschooler to read at home implies the skill of perceiving a whole word, and not any of its parts. In the Russian Federation, such a method became known only in the nineties of the last century. Education for preschoolers using this technique occurs through the use of special benefits and the most frequent and high-quality communication with the baby.

Advantages of the Doman technique:

• Suitable for children of any age, even the smallest.
• Learning to read preschoolers takes place during the game, which allows them to enjoy the attention of their parents and gain new knowledge.
• The system effectively develops memory, provides valuable encyclopedic knowledge.
• Many Nobel Prize winners were raised using this technique.
• Such learning to read preschoolers develops them very versatile.

The disadvantages of the method of Glen Doman

Like any method of teaching a preschooler to read, the Doman method has its drawbacks. They are as follows:

• A huge number of different cards are required to achieve the desired effect. It is extremely difficult and time consuming if the parents decide to make them on their own. Or you can purchase a ready-made kit, which can be somewhat expensive.
• Such cards recommend teaching the preschooler to read the kid every day and more than once. Moreover, cards that the child has already seen should be replaced promptly and correctly. If you do not do this or do it irregularly, the effectiveness of the technique can significantly decrease. This becomes a problem if the parents are full-time workers and, accordingly, have other responsibilities, as well as if the family has several children.
• All children are different. It is difficult for many to sit in one place for a sufficient amount of time. Some children simply do not respond to any cards or quickly forget what they learned yesterday. Toddlers may try to take away chewing and spoil it. In such cases, this method of teaching preschoolers to read does not work.
• In elementary school, difficulties may arise in relations with the teacher. This often happens with those children who are not learning using traditional technologies.
• This is perhaps the main drawback. The kid is not an active participant in the process. Only one sensory system of the child is involved: only the visual. Although the baby receives knowledge, he does not learn to reason and analyze. This method of teaching preschoolers to read should be combined with other, more creative ones.

Phased Learning

Consistent reading instruction for children requires considerable time and effort. It would be reasonable to divide it into a number of stages, which will facilitate the process of forming a new skill for the child. You will have to go through the following steps: the process of learning and remembering individual letters; development of the ability to read syllables, regardless of their size and complexity; learn to understand the meaning of individual words; be able to understand the meaning of the text as a whole.

Memorization of letters

At the very beginning, the traditional method of teaching preschoolers to read is based on memorization of letters. To begin with, it is important to learn to distinguish among themselves and recognize among other designations. The next step is their reading.

The methodology of teaching a preschooler to read at home recommends calling the child consonants in the way they are pronounced (that is, sounds), and not in the way they are presented in specialized books. This will speed up the process of perception and help the baby understand how to use this information in practice.

Teaching children to read at this stage involves concentrating the child's attention on new material. To do this, you can post the image of letters and the objects associated with them in the room of a preschooler and in the whole house as a whole. It is also effective to pay attention to familiar signs in the names of signs during walks.

Reading syllables of varying difficulty

This stage fully reflects the methodology of teaching preschoolers to read according to Zhukova. It is based on the perception of an individual syllable as a minimum unit. This helps to recognize and remember the connections that exist between the various syllables and how they should be pronounced. At this stage, the baby, as a rule, has many difficulties. In order to help him cope with them, it is necessary to consciously make this level of training as clear as possible.

It would be most preferable to slowly and clearly, while uttering the most correct words and asking the child to repeat everything after you. Then the baby will get used to the right reading option.

In no case should you teach a child to pronounce syllables separately or to himself, and only then combine them into a single whole. Unfortunately, such a habit can gain a foothold in the mind for a long time, and getting rid of it will be extremely difficult. This is an important nuance of preschool reading teaching methods. Zhukova also emphasizes this in her writings.

Understanding the meaning of the word read

This stage is the basis of teaching synthetic reading. Its basis is the assimilation of meaning. This is the basis for teaching methods for reading preschoolers in Starzhinskaya. The considered method is extremely effective and even necessary. Indeed, it is understanding the meaning of what is read that becomes the key to fluent reading in the future. By the time of transition to this stage, the child has enough skills to effectively absorb the meaning of words.

It is important that now everything is read at approximately the same pace with which it is pronounced in ordinary everyday speech. If this time is too long, then it becomes incredibly difficult for a child to guess or feel the meaning.

You need to start slowly, gradually accelerating the pace. Each time it is necessary to clarify with the baby, the meanings of which words are not clear to him, what should be explained.

Learning to understand the meaning of the whole text

This stage completes the traditional method of teaching preschoolers. Now it's time to learn to synchronously understand the meaning of everything that a child reads. This requires a lot of time, so parents should be patient and not require too much from the baby. Understanding the content is a long and complex process.

Sometimes a child is able to read each of the words of a sentence absolutely correctly, but cannot understand its meaning. This is due to the presence in the phrase of a complex combination, which fully captured all the attention of the baby. And sometimes a preschooler is simply not able to keep in mind all the parts of the sentence at the same time to form its meaning. This difficulty can be defeated by re-reading this text.

Another difficulty is trying to guess the meaning of the proposal for the first association. And other children begin to constantly skip or replace letters in words. This is due to the fact that the preschooler perceives some general image of the word, applying it to other similar language units.

You should not force your child to read one text over and over again. This forms the wrong associative chain, creating an aggressively negative attitude of the baby to this process.

It is important to carefully work out each step. How the child will read in the future and how competently write is directly dependent on this.

Output

The development of your children is completely in your hands. Of course, today it is not so easy to find time to spend it with a child in a quality manner, but there should be nothing more important for parents. Therefore, the process of research and finding the right teaching method for your child to read should be given enough time and attention.

Sometimes failures will happen. They are inevitable. This happened to every child, and to you too. This does not mean that your baby is developing worse than others or will never learn to fluently read and clearly understand the texts. These failures only indicate that the wrong choice of the method was made, either the parents pay insufficient attention to the process, or the classes are not regular, or the essence of the method does not contribute to the concentration of attention of this particular child. In any case, you should not be angry with the baby, his absolutely no fault in this. Be restrained, patient, friendly. It is important to be with the child at the same time. If you are one team, victory is near.

Many today still prefer to choose traditional teaching methods that combine the methods of Zhukova and Starzhinskaya, and in general imply a phased formation of skills. Such techniques have collected a huge amount of positive feedback, they are simple and reliable. Each child will be able to master reading with their help. Only the time necessary for this can differ.

Newer techniques, such as the Zaitsev cubes and the Doman method, are not suitable for every child, but this in no way diminishes their effectiveness. To implement each of them, a certain amount of props is necessary, for example, a certain number of cards, cubes, tables. They are used as visual material for a better perception of new information. As a rule, such learning methods are positively perceived by children, since the game element is obvious in them. The child does not get tired so quickly and is easily involved in the process. A special effect can be achieved if training takes place in a group. The success of others motivates the child much more than a simple personal interest in this process.

It may not be possible to choose the appropriate technique the first time. Failures are inevitable. However, do not despair. The well-being of your child deserves any of your efforts!

Published by the Moscow Printing House in 1634. This primer was distinguished by its special grace and simplicity. The book had a small convenient format. In contrast to Ivan Fedorov, Bursov highlighted in red letters, syllables and section names of the primer. The primer used beautiful fonts and graphic design, the construction of each page is clear, well thought out. A primer compiled on the model of Fedorov's alphabet.

Additional useful information:

Your family has a pre-school child and you want to teach it to read? Probably, you have already acquired a bright colorful ABC or Primer for the baby. Or maybe you have already tried to teach him how to read, but something did not work out? In any case, this section of the site is for those adults who want to help their child learn to read.

Let's first understand why and why adults teach preschoolers to read, because reading instruction is part of the general education program of the first grade of the school. There are many answers to this question:

It seems prestigious to you if your child learns to read before school (why not teach your child how to solve equations?);

Do you think that it will be easier for him to study at school, already being able to read (and what if he will not be interested in studying?);

The child is interested in letters and wants to learn how to read (excellent! This section is for you and your child!).

The next, very important question: how old is your baby?

-    2-3 years.  Wonderful age - the child begins to learn to understand the world around him, gets acquainted with interest with the color, shape, size of objects, reacts very directly to his successes and failures, and is open to communication with adults. But! Letters at this age are obscure and uninteresting hieroglyphs, the essence hiding behind them is not yet accessible for understanding by a small person. It is not necessary at this age to be diligent in teaching a child, whether it be reading, counting, foreign languages. Better give your child the opportunity to feel the world through vision, hearing, taste, fingers. Having learned to feel the world in all its manifestations, the child with great success in the future will master the reading skill.

-    4-5 years old. From the age of 4-5 years, a child can analyze the properties of objects and act on them in order to change, at this age, the "child's instinct for language" is particularly pronounced. Therefore, if your child is already showing interest in letters, it may take 10-15 minutes to enthusiastically engage in developmental games, you should carefully try to start classes. But if the four-year-old has not yet learned to concentrate attention, to carry out developmental tasks purposefully, reacts violently to its failures, impatient, then it is better to wait.

-    6-7 years old.  According to modern physiologists, psychologists, speech therapists, educators, this age for most children is the most favorable for the active development of perception, attention, memory, and thinking. A child at this age is physiologically ready for developmental education, he has a desire to learn. The senior preschooler can and wants to study, shows great interest in organized forms of classes related to the assimilation of knowledge, skills. It is the senior preschool age for most children that is most effective for starting reading instruction. This does not mean that all children will equally learn reading skills, but it is already necessary to start studying with them.

And one more important question. Can reading classes be harmful to the child? They can - in the event that the adult who organizes these classes does not take into account the age and individual characteristics of the child, overloads him with educational tasks instead of the game, which is natural for the preschooler, and aims at all costs to teach the child to read.

The first rules required for successful reading instruction:

Play! The game is a natural state of a preschooler, the most active form of cognition of the world, the most effective form of learning. Education for a preschooler should take place, as it were, by the way, in a game situation, in an atmosphere of an exciting case.

Maintain interest in classes, use a variety of games and manuals.

Rather, the important thing is not the duration of the classes, but their frequency. Be consistent in reading instruction.

Your instructions and instructions should be short but concise - a preschool child is not able to accept long instructions.

Only start reading instruction if your child’s spoken language is well developed. If the child’s speech is replete with errors in the coordination of words, in the syllabic structure of words or with defects in sound pronunciation, you should first turn to a speech therapist.

Mastering reading requires a lot of mental and physical stress from the child. Therefore, at each lesson, be sure to combine training exercises with warm-ups (physical exercises, finger gymnastics, outdoor games and everything your imagination tells you).

The unwillingness of the child to engage is a sign that the adult has exceeded the capabilities of the child. Stop and think what’s done wrong.

A child is not a small copy of an adult. The child has the right not to know and not be able to! Be patient!

Do not compare the successes of your child with the successes of other children. The pace of learning reading skills is individual for each child.

For each child, there is an optimal way to teach reading. Try to find exactly those tricks and working methods that match his individual characteristics.

Never start classes if you or your child is in a bad mood: such classes will not bring success!

Any mother of a preschooler, even if he is not even a year old, is already looking at various methods of teaching reading. Indeed, some of them allow achieving results at a very young age. What are the good early techniques, as well as what disadvantages they have, read in our article.

Sound (phonetic) method

This is a reading teaching system that taught us at school. It is based on the alphabetical principle. It is based on teaching pronunciation of letters and sounds (phonetics), and when a child accumulates sufficient knowledge, he goes first to syllables formed from the merger of sounds, and then to whole words.

Pros of the method

• This method is usually used to teach reading in schools, so the child does not have to “relearn”.
• Parents understand this principle of learning very well, since they themselves have studied this way.
• The method develops the phonemic hearing of the child, which allows you to hear and highlight sounds in words, which contributes to their correct pronunciation.
• Speech therapists recommend this particular method of teaching reading, as it also helps children get rid of speech defects.
• You can teach your child to read by the sound method in any convenient place, some exercises can be performed even on the street. The kid will enjoy playing word games both at home, and in the country, and on the train, and in the long line at the clinic.

Cons of the method

• This method is not suitable for supporters of the early development of the child who want the baby to learn to read fluently before five to six years. Since learning to read in this way is a rather lengthy process that requires a certain level of development of the child, it is simply pointless to start studying by this method too early.
• Usually at first the child does not understand what he read, since all his efforts will be aimed at reading and understanding individual words. Understanding read will have to pay special attention.

Learning method on Zaitsev cubes

This method involves warehouse-based reading training. A warehouse is a pair of consonants and vowels, or consonants and hard or soft characters, or one letter. Learning to read Zaitsev’s cubes takes place in the form of a fun, moving and exciting game of cubes.

Pros of the method

• A child in a playful form immediately remembers the warehouse, a combination of letters. He does not stammer and quickly masters reading and the logic of building words.
• On Zaitsev’s cubes there are only those combinations of letters that are fundamentally possible in Russian. So, for example, in his system there are no combinations or MF. Therefore, the child will be immediately and for life insured against the stupidest mistakes (for example, he will never spell “zhyraf” or “shyna” incorrectly).
• Zaitsev’s cubes allow you to teach your child to read at least one year old. But even a five year old is not too late to start. The system is not tied to a specific age.
• If the child does not keep up with the pace of modern school programs, the Zaitsev system can become a kind of "first aid". The author himself claims that, for example, the four-year-old will begin to read after just a few lessons.
• Classes do not take much time, they are held as if between things.
• Zaitsev's cubes act on many senses. They develop musical ear, sense of rhythm, musical memory, fine motor skills of hands, which in itself greatly affects the development of intelligence. Thanks to colorful cubes, children develop spatial and color perception

Cons of the method

• Children who have learned to read “according to Zaitsev” often “swallow” the endings, cannot understand the composition of the word (after all, they are used to dividing it exclusively into warehouses and nothing else).
• Children have to retrain in the first grade, when they begin to go through the phonemic analysis of the word. A child may make mistakes in sound analysis.
• There is no combination of W or W on the cubes, but there are combinations of the consonant with the vowel E (BE, BE, HE, etc.). This means that the child gets used to this combination as possible in the language. Meanwhile, in the Russian language there are almost no words in which the letter E is written after the consonant (except for “sir”, “mayor”, “peer”, “udé”, “plein air”).
• Zaitsev's benefits are quite expensive. Or, parents themselves must make cubes from pieces of wood and cardboard blanks, and this is as much as 52 cubes. At the same time, they are short-lived, the baby can easily crush or bite them.

Doman Card Training

This method teaches children to recognize words as whole units without breaking them down into components. No letter names or sounds are taught in this method. The child is shown several times a day a certain number of cards with a clear pronunciation of words. As a result, the child perceives and reads the word immediately, and learns to read very quickly and early.

Pros of the technique

• The ability to teach reading almost from birth. All the training will be for him a game, an opportunity to chat with mom, learn something new and interesting.
• The baby will develop a phenomenal memory. He will easily memorize and analyze a huge amount of information.

Cons of the technique

• The complexity of the process. Parents will have to print a huge number of cards with words, and then find the time to still show their child.
• Children who studied using this methodology then experience difficulties with the school curriculum. They often have problems with literacy and parsing.
• Often, children who read the words on home posters without problems could not read the word if it was written differently.

The technique of Maria Montessori

According to the Montessori system, kids learn to write letters first using inserts and contour frames, and only then study letters. The didactic material consists of letters cut out of rough paper and glued to cardboard plates. The kid calls the sound (repeats after adults), and then draws a finger around the outline of the letter. Then the children learn to add words, phrases, and texts.

Pros of the technique

• There are no boring exercises or tedious lessons in the Montessori system. All training is a game. Entertaining, with bright interesting toys. And the kid learns everything through reading, writing, and everyday skills.
• Children who learn to read by the Montessori method very quickly begin to read smoothly, without dividing the words into syllables.
• The child immediately learns to read independently and to himself.
• Exercises and games develop analytical thinking, logic.
• Many Montessori materials not only teach to read, but develop fine motor skills - an important element in the general development of intelligence (for example, games with a rough alphabet contribute to this).

Cons of the technique

• Classes are difficult to do at home, as it requires a tremendous amount of time to prepare classes and expensive materials.
• The bulkiness of materials and manuals: you have to buy or make yourself a lot of frames, cards, books and other elements of the learning environment.
• The technique is designed for classes in a kindergarten group, and not at home.
• Mom in this system plays the role of an observer, not a teacher.

Methodology of Olga Soboleva

This method is based on the “bipolar” work of the brain. Learning a new letter, the child learns it through a recognizable image or character. The main goal of the method is not so much to teach reading as to teach how to love to read. All classes are built in the form of a game, so reading instruction passes unnoticed and exciting. The technique has 3 information flows: for visuals, audials and kinesthetics. Mechanical memorization is minimized, as an associative memorization technique is used.

Pros of the technique

• As a result of this method of reading, the number of errors in children decreases, and speech becomes more free and colorful, vocabulary expands, interest in creativity is activated, the fear of the need for a written presentation of thought disappears.
• Rules, laws, exercises are carried out, as if jokingly and involuntarily. The child learns to concentrate and relax, as this is useful for learning new information.
• The technique very well develops imagination, fantasy, teaches logical thinking, develops memory and attention.
• You can start learning almost from birth.
• Suitable for children with different channels of perception of information.

Minuses
   There is no familiar system for parents who need everything to be clear and consistent. More suitable for “creative” children.

How to prevent commonplace mistakes in learning to read a child? Read the 7 basic, not complicated rules of an effective teaching technique for reading children, which have been tested and proved to be effective on more than one generation of children. You must admit that you want to invest so much in your crumbs and teach so much that we immediately run to the store and stock up on a bunch of meaningless alphabet and computer programs.

But in practice it turns out that the child completely refuses to repeat the next verse in the letter “A” and to memorize hieroglyphs that are incomprehensible to him. What mistakes do experienced grandmothers and young mothers make trying to teach a child to read as soon as possible and faster? Let's go through the 7 basic rules for teaching a child to read:

1 rule of an effective child reading teaching methodology: Buy an alphabet for a child without pictures.

Always choose the alphabet with capital letters, preferably without pictures. So it will be easier for the child to focus on letters, rather than colorful drawings. You can teach your child to read from the age of 2-3 years, but it is worth remembering that at such an early age it is difficult for children to concentrate - to keep their attention on the same subject for a long time. And therefore, do not complicate the task for the child: it is best to buy the simplest alphabet with letters drawn in a beautiful, but understandable font without extra curls, and preferably without fancy poems and extra pictures.

Rule 2 of an effective teaching technique for reading a child: First, learn the main letters.

Start learning letters with vowels: A, E, E, I, O, U, S, E, Y, Y. Vowels are easier for children. They can be easily learned by singing. So that the child can learn vowel letters quickly and effortlessly, organize a joint lesson in family singing: sing along, rule 3 of an effective teaching technique for reading the child: Learn letters quickly and move on to syllables even faster.

The 4th rule of an effective child reading teaching technique: Do not pull with syllables! It is easiest to teach a child to read in syllables, not in letters.

Start learning syllables from the letters you already know as soon as possible: knowing a few vowels and a couple of consonants is already good for composing the simplest words, like “mom”, “dad”, but in any case the hardest part is to start. Therefore, you need to start with the simple, so that later you go to the complex. After learning to read syllables, go on to compiling complete words.

Rule 4 of an effective methodology for teaching a child to read: When you name your child’s letter, say its pronunciation (“M”), not its name (“Em”).

When naming a letter, sound the sound. When teaching your baby the letters should be pronounced sounds, not the name of the letters. For example, say the letter “C”, not “Es” or “Ce.” Do not complicate the child’s task of teaching reading, save him from knowledge that is unnecessary at this stage: everything ingenious is simple! Less details, more - to the point.

Rule 5 of an effective teaching technique for reading a child: Engage with your child often, but little by little.

Work with your child for no more than 15 minutes at a time.

It is difficult for children under six to keep their attention in the same lesson. Do not overload the child, doing it for a long time. It is better to deal with the child twice a day for 15 minutes than once, but for half an hour.

Learning to read Russian words is the same as learning to read in a foreign language: too much new information is difficult for the child’s brain to perceive. Therefore, it is advisable to break it into many small pieces, each time “swallowing” one at a time, than trying to squeeze a whole “pie” of incomprehensible information into the baby’s head at a time.

Fifteen minutes worked out in a playful way, preferably with motivation for prizes or in a funny, laid-back form, and then rest, switching the child to other activities.

The 6th rule of an effective teaching technique for reading a child: reading lessons involve drawing lessons!

Draw letters! The best way to remember a letter is to draw it, or better yet, write it. Thus, you will immediately teach your child to read, while preparing your hand for writing.

In general, it’s great if the child’s mother and / or father knows at least a little psychology and, in particular, knows what kind of psychotype his child belongs to - visual, auditory or sensitive / tactile.

Visual people perceive and remember information best of all if their eyes and organs of vision are maximally involved, i.e. for a visual child, the best way to teach reading is to look at the letters in the children's alphabet and to contemplate the letters written by hand in a notebook or on a sheet of colored paper.
  An audio child learns best by listening to information. Those. such a child will best remember the letter if you pronounce it clearly aloud to him, and if he himself repeats its pronunciation several times aloud and, preferably, will be able to associate this sound with its spelling, image - the letter in the letter.

Tactile child - a child who perceives life through sensations, through the skin, is best able to learn to read, no matter how paradoxical it sounds, learning to write letters. Or if he has curly letters without extra characters on the sides, then feeling them.

Rule 7 of an effective methodology for teaching a child to read: We consolidate the theory in practice, in ordinary life.

Why are letters needed? The child needs to clearly, simply and clearly, explain why this mom and dad make him learn all these letters. What is the meaning of this alphabet?

On the bus or while walking around the city, show your child various signs and building names. The child must realize that the study of letters opens up new interesting opportunities for him. Let the child look for familiar letters in the inscriptions on the goods and at the stops, in the car numbers, and inform you of his finds!

Learning to read then becomes interesting for the child when he realizes the meaning of this process. Tell the child that having mastered the knowledge of the world of letters, he will be able to read interesting children's tales himself, and not wait for his mother to free herself from cooking in the kitchen.

Read child’s poems, fairy tales, funny stories, jokes, jokes and occasionally don’t forget to remind him that “having learned the letter“ A ”or the syllable“ Ma ”, he will soon be able to read everything without his mother’s help these interesting and cool. And perhaps someday he himself will read a fairy tale to his mother!

Reading for a child can be fun. Just to show the love of reading is, first of all, the task of parents. And praise the baby, even for small victories, because each learned letter is a real triumph for him! Do not forget to notice and note even the small achievements of your child in the process of learning to read, build your own strategy, an effective methodology of teaching your child to read, do not save time communicating with your child, and then a rich harvest of upbringing will not take long.

Educational games for teaching reading.

Psychologists believe that it is easier for a child to learn to read at 4 to 5 years old than at 7 to 8, explaining that the five-year-old child has already mastered speech well, but he is still interested in words and sounds, he willingly experiments with them, easily remembers whole words , and then begins to distinguish letters in them, and the adult can only give his interest the direction necessary for mastering reading skills. At an older age, words and sounds become something familiar for a child and his experimental interest disappears.

According to the observations of psychologists, the intellectual development of a preschooler is most successful in the process of his playing activity.

The principles of teaching reading to preschoolers and primary schoolchildren using games were proposed by a child psychologist DB Elkonin. These principles are at the core of most reading instructional programs. We offer you a five-step training program. At each of them, the child learns by playing games with adults developed by Chelyabinsk psychologists L.G. Matveeva, I.V. Knocker, D.E. Myakushin.

Stage is the first letter, sound period of training.

It precedes the acquaintance and work of the child with letters. The child is shown that speech is “built” from sounds. An adult plays sound games with a child, the purpose of which is to highlight certain words in words.

Onomatopoeia.

An adult asks questions to a child, for example:

How does a bee buzz? (Well then!)
  - How does a snake hiss? (Shhh!)
  - How is the train humming? (Oooh!)

Main sound

The adult reads verses to the child, highlighting the main sound. It is good to use texts of poetic alphabet, for example, E.L. Blaginina "Nah-I-am-ka to read" or S.Ya. Marshak's "Alphabet in verses and pictures", etc.

Buzzing
  Over honeysuckle
  Beetle.
  Heavy
  On the bug
  Cover
  (E. Blaginina)

The woodpecker lived in an empty hollow,
  Oak hollowed like a chisel
  (S.Ya. Marshak)

Score

An adult is a seller, and a child is a buyer who “comes” to the store to choose one of the goods. You need to pay for the purchase with the first sound of the word. For example, if a child wants to buy a spoon, then he should say "Ll."

Stage two: determination of the sound composition of the word.

The child is taught to determine what sounds the word consists of, to distinguish between a hard and soft pair of consonants, to emphasize a stressed vowel sound.

Forbidden sounds

This game helps to develop a child’s ability to distinguish sounds in a word and teaches him to work according to the rule - this is one of the important conditions for successful learning at school.

The adult and the child agree that one of the sounds is forbidden, for example, you can not pronounce "3" or "K". An adult shows the child pictures and asks what is shown on them, the child tries to answer without calling the forbidden sound. Suppose that at the first stage the forbidden sound will be at the beginning of the word, and then at the end.

Who creeps and hisses?
  - mea.
  “Who's purring and washing all the time?”
  - from.
  - Who backs away?
  - Ra.

Tim and Tom

This game teaches a child to distinguish between hard and soft sounds.

Draw two little men. Tom is “hard” - he is angular, skinny, and Tim “soft” - he is round and thick. Introduce them to a child:
- You see, this is Tom, his name begins very firmly. Tt He himself is all solid, like that sound, and he chooses everything solid. He loves Tomato Juice, always wears a Coat, plays Sea Battle and Soap Bubbles. And this is Tim, his name begins softly. Tht. He loves everything that sounds as soft as his name: eats Toffee and Meatballs, plays Ball, Draws and wears a Jacket. You will be Tim, and I will be Tom. We are going camping. What do you think Tim will take with him: BACKPACK or RANCH?

Also, Tim and Tom should bring BOWLER, CANNED GOODS, SUGAR, SPOONS, BOWL, ROPE, BINOCLES, COMPASS, CARD, LOLLIPOPS, SHOES, Sneakers, CAP, Panama, etc. With the help of an adult, the child needs to choose what Tim will bear from this and what Tom will carry. Then you can switch roles, let the child be Tom, who collects mushrooms (CHRISTMAS, OILS), berries (STRAWBERRY, BLUEBERRY), catches fish (BREED, SAZANA), etc.

Lost in the forest

This game will help your child learn how to make an impact sound in a word.

Toys scattered around the room, they need to be called by pulling the percussion sound - the “loudest” sound in the word.

Mi-and-ish!
  - Masha-and-Inca!
  - Oooooo!

Stage three: sound analysis of the word.

The child is taught to select all the sounds in words from three to five sounds and fix them using chips (pieces of cardboard, buttons, mosaics). House of Sounds

An adult draws “rooms” for sounds. For example, for the word "cat" you need to draw a house of three rooms: three squares.
  “Sound must live in every room, let's settle them.”
  The child makes a sound that will "live" in this room, and puts a chip on the box.
  - K, O, T.

A common mistake is that the child correctly names the first and last sounds and “loses” the middle one. An adult may be surprised: “Does“ CT ”live here?” Here lives "Ko-o-from"! (pulls a missed sound).

House in the forest

The task is the same, only the house must be drawn from four rooms.
  - In this house they want to settle LEO, ELEPHANT and GIRAFF. Who do you think this house was built for? But can FOX, WOLF, ALREADY, OWL, DOG, MOLE, RAVEN live in it?

If the child is experiencing difficulties, additionally draw three-room and five-room houses, asking them to "resettle" the animals into a house suitable for each of them.

House in the forest-2

This is a complicated version of the previous game. A child learns not only to take into account the number of sounds in a word, but also to find an impact sound.

An adult draws four identical four-room houses.
  - In these houses live an elephant, a wolf, a fox and a stork. Help the heron get to visit the stork, and not for lunch, Fox or Wolf.

Tell your child a way out - put an emphasis in the word "elephant" by filling in the corresponding box in one of the houses.

Building

A game to consolidate the skill of placing accents.

From the warehouse of building materials to the construction site, it is first necessary to bring CEMENT, then BRICK, followed by SAND, then CLAY, GLASS behind it, and in the end - BOARDS. You will be a driver.

An adult makes six cards with the number of squares corresponding to the number of sounds in each word and hatched percussion sounds. This will be the necessary building materials. Adult asks the child:
  - Find and take cement to the construction site.
  Etc.

Stage four: the letter period of training.

The child is introduced to the alphabetical designation of sounds using picture alphabet, cubes or laying out images of letters from sticks, drawing letters in snow or sand, on fogged glass, looking for familiar letters in store signs and newspaper headlines. All this helps to make learning unobtrusive and interesting. You can learn letters with your child on a walk, on the road, at a party.

Sound Lotto

An adult gives out cards to children with various objects, plants or animals. Then he shows a letter familiar to children and asks:
  - Who has a word for this letter?

Then the game becomes more complicated: words are written in block letters on the cards, children must recognize the proposed letters at the beginning, middle and end of the word.

Cars

The child must put all the cards with words in that letter into the “L” brand car, and all words starting with the letter “M” into the “M” brand car.

Draw the letter

An adult draws elements of block letters, and the child must finish the missing to get one or another letter.

You can also return to the game "House of Sounds", but now instead of pronouncing sounds and laying out chips, the child must tell the adult what letters need to be written in order to put this or that animal in the house.

Step Five: Merging Syllables into Words.

At first, a child’s syllable is the basic unit of reading. Teach your child to read syllables in a long way, as if "singing" them ("SSOO-SSNNAA", "MMAA-SHShII-NNAA"). This will help the child avoid the “chopped” syllable, which slows down the transition from syllabic reading to word reading.

Stock up on cubes or cards with the image of letters. Let the child try to put together the words that you offer him. Start with the simplest. Show him how to add words, using the example of an excerpt from the poem by G. Vieru "Mom":

Come on, M, give hand A,
  Come on, MA,
  MA and MA, and together MOM -
  I am writing this myself.

Working with stress will speed up and facilitate the transition to reading with words. Here are a few games to help your child learn the syllable principle.

Rearrangement of stresses

Have your child experiment with stress in words to answer your questions.
  - What's your name?
  - Pasha. Pasha.
  - What it is?
  - TV, TV, TV, TV, TV.

Tamer

The child is given cards with the names of wild animals written on them in block letters, which he needs to tame by placing emphasis on the corresponding vowel (the emphasis is "put" using a special chip). For example, in the word BISON, a child should put a chip on the letter O. If a child thinks for too long or puts the stress incorrectly, the animal "runs away" into the forest (jungle, steppe, etc.). The tamer needs to call him correctly (see the game "Lost in the Forest") so that it returns.

Attention, parents! The games offered can vary depending on your capabilities and imagination. Do not be afraid to improvise - this will make your activities with your child more interesting and useful.

Go back to the material you have learned in everyday life. For example, let a child practice stressing words when you go with him through the self-service store in search of GRE-E-ECHI, \u200b\u200bSA-A-AHARA, RY-Y-YBY, etc. Or, reading to the child before going to bed, highlight the sound passed in the text. When preparing dinner, ask the child to find in the kitchen all objects starting with a certain letter. All this will help the baby learn the material better, and, in addition, you can maintain the effect of continuous learning if you are not able to conduct classes regularly.

In order to succeed and not discourage your child from developing activities, you must follow certain rules:

When dealing with a child, follow the sequence of steps. Do not expect too fast results. Take into account the peculiarities of your child: some children need to play with the same letter, sound for a week to master the material, while others can memorize the half-alphabet in one day or learn how to correctly place the stress.

Use as much visual materials as possible for training: color pictures, cubes, toys, real objects, draw what the task is about (animals, cars, etc.), because it is difficult for a small child to perceive information by ear.

Avoid monotony and monotony: do not engage in the same type of tasks with your child for more than 10 minutes, break off at physical exercises, drawing, and jointly searching for something necessary for classes.

Play with your child in school, where you will be a student, and he will be a teacher. When a child learns, for example, the names of letters, turn into Dunno, who confuses and makes mistakes, let the baby correct your mistakes.

Most important: be patient and avoid criticism and negative ratings! Remember that you play with your child. These activities should give him pleasure.

Praise your child for minimal success, if only because he is just trying to complete your tasks.
