Shamil Akhmadullin

Psychologist, writer, author of 15 books and manuals on effective teaching children, including “Speed reading for children. How to teach a child to quickly read and understand what they read”, “Development of memory in children”. Founder of a network of centers for speed reading, development of memory and intelligence in children TurboRead.ru.

Why does a child need speed reading?

An important skill, mastery of which allows a child to succeed in school. This can be taught from about seven years of age, or more precisely, from the age when a child can read words at a speed of at least 30 words per minute.

Starting from the fifth grade, students have to process unusually large amounts of information. Most subjects, such as history, natural history, literature, etc., require quick reading, memorization and further retelling of the information received. Therefore, this skill is simply necessary for every student who intends to engage in intellectual work in the future.

How to learn to read quickly

Any complex skill, such as speed reading, consists of a number of smaller subskills. In order for a child to learn to read faster, he needs to master them.

Develop voluntary attention

An important component of the reading process is the child’s ability to concentrate long time. This sub-skill is trained through simple exercises such as a maze. The child only needs to find a way out of it with the help of his gaze.

Expand your field of view

For example, when reading the phrase “Masha ate porridge” sequentially, the image of a girl first appears in the child’s head. Then he imagines that she is eating, and then that she is eating porridge. Consistently compiling this image takes quite a lot of time.

It’s another matter if the child sees three words at the same time. The image of a girl eating porridge immediately appears in my head. This happens instantly and significantly speeds up the reading process.

In order for a child to see and perceive 2-3 words at the same time, it is necessary to expand his field of vision. There is a simple exercise that allows you to do this. It is called “wedge tables”. The child needs to concentrate on the central column and slowly look down, while saying the side numbers out loud. The goal is to reach the very bottom and see the numbers both to the right and to the left of the central column at the same time.

Reduce enunciation

Pronouncing text greatly slows down the reading process and negatively affects understanding and memorization. To prevent this, the child needs to compress his lips tightly and bite his tongue when reading. In this way, you can avoid articulation - the process of speaking the text while reading.

Eliminate recurrent eye movements

When reading, a child often returns to an already read part of the text, rereading entire paragraphs of the paragraph. This process, firstly, negatively affects reading comprehension, and secondly, reduces reading speed due to the fact that the child has to re-read the same thing several times.

The solution to this problem is simple: the child needs to run his finger along the line while reading. And if he does this quickly enough, then his reading speed will certainly increase, and without losing the quality of understanding.

Be able to highlight the main points in the text

One of the most important skills is to highlight the main thing in the text. It is strengthened by numerous training sessions. For example, you give your child a highlighter (marker) and ask him to mark important points in the text and then describe it in just 10 words. The child will choose words very carefully in order to fit the entire meaning of the text into them.

If you help your child master at least a few techniques, then positive results in the form of increased reading speed, and, accordingly, increased academic performance will not take long to come. Good luck in your education to you and your children!

Reading time: 8 minutes

Children should receive certain skills and knowledge from their parents. All mothers and fathers should know how to teach a child to read correctly at home using a primer or using other methods. This skill will help the baby more easily perceive the world around us, adapt to school, gain knowledge in other subjects. There are different methods of teaching children to read. Find out about their features.

How to teach a child to read correctly and quickly

Some parents believe that only specialists should work with their baby, but this opinion is wrong. Knowing a few secrets, showing persistence and patience, you can teach your little one the basics of quick reading on their own at home. With such skills, it will be much easier for a child to adapt to society, and he will master the school curriculum much faster.

When to teach a child to read

Previously, this skill was instilled in children only at school, as a last resort, in kindergarten, i.e. no earlier than five years of age. Now times have changed and it is recommended that children begin education almost from the first year of life. How can parents make sure their child is psychologically and physically ready to engage in:

A good sign is that your child is interested in children's books at an early age.
The child must be able to speak, understand the meaning of simple words, be able to formulate sentences, express thoughts in phrases, and perceive information and sounds phonemically.
The child knows basic directions (up-down, left-right) and can navigate in space.
The baby has good hearing, no serious problems with pronunciation and other developmental disabilities. If you have speech impediments, make an appointment with a speech therapist.

Which alphabet should I teach?

As a rule, a classic primer and some other materials are used for classes: posters, cubes, cards. Many parents, having tried modern methods, return to teaching reading in the usual way. You can purchase a primer developed by Natalya Zhukova. This teacher offers a way of teaching that combines classical and original approaches.

Basic rules of reading technique

It is worth noting that some parental actions can kill a person’s interest in books for life. How to properly teach a child to read:

Never force. Try to interest your child by telling interesting stories. Read aloud to him, set your own positive example, this way you will teach him faster. Don't force your child or scold him if he makes mistakes. Praise your child for his successes.
First, learn to perceive sounds, and only then move on to the letters of the alphabet.
Practice mastering syllables. This will make it easier to learn the letters.
Review the material you have covered regularly. It's better to do it in game form, don't give tests because it can be offensive.
First, learn the simplest words with repeating words (ma-ma). Then you can move on to more complex tasks. The syllable-letter scheme (ko-t, do-m) is suitable. When the baby masters the technique of reading words, teach elementary ones, and then complex sentences. The last ones to introduce are exercises with й, ь, ъ. This is a very simple mechanism for mastering the skill of reading aloud.
During a walk, ask your child to say what is written on signs and billboards, this way you will quickly teach him to read.
Choose games for knowledge of individual letters. Buy alphabet blocks.
Do not teach the names of letters (“er”, “es”). He may distort words later.
Practice every day to teach reading. Don’t give up lessons, even if you think your child already knows how to do everything.

Methods of teaching reading to a preschooler at home

There are different schemes for teaching children, proposed by experts. Parents are advised to study in detail the features of each method, choose the preferred one and practice only according to it. If you use several lesson plans, you can simply confuse your child and discourage him from learning. Check out some popular early learning methods.

Maria Montessori Method

An Italian teacher suggests starting learning with writing. Maria Montessori advises children to draw capital letters. Techniques such as outlining and shading should be used. Then you need to move on to making letters from bulk materials, for example, plasticine. Drawings and layouts must be composed, letters must be added, and at the last stage the syllables must be pronounced.

Methodology of Nikolai Zaitsev

One of the most popular learning methods that provides quick results. Perfect for active kids. Training is conducted using cubes with warehouses. There are those with one letter, and those with two. They are colorful. The cubes with vowel sounds are golden. Those with ringing warehouses, gray and are called iron. Wooden cubes brown contain unvoiced syllables, and white and green ones contain punctuation marks. For ease of perception, they all have different contents, weights and sizes.

All classes with cubes according to Zaitsev’s method are conducted only in a playful form. The kit includes tables with warehouses that should always be visible, and examples of special exercises. Warehouses need to be assembled according to certain principles, sing, imitate the sounds of animals. You can come up with games yourself, together with your baby, based on what will be more interesting to him.

Glen Doman Method

It is aimed at mastering not sounds and syllables, but whole words at once. They are written on special cards with pictures. Parents should show each of them to the child for 15 seconds, loudly explaining the meaning. The first lessons should be very short, no longer than 5-10 minutes. Advantages effective methodology Domana:

suitable for children from birth;
you can use an individual approach, create a specific vocabulary;
comprehensively develops;
You can make the material yourself.

The Doman system is not without a number of disadvantages. Teachers highlight the following disadvantages and shortcomings:

the learning process is passive;
not perceived by children over three years of age.

Where to start teaching your child to read

Be sure to choose the appropriate study guides. Use books, posters, cards and blocks. Training stages:

Introduce your baby to open vowels. Say them and sing them.
After the initial stage, move on to voiced consonants.
Remember dull and hissing sounds. Only after this can you move on to learning to read by syllables. Memorizing letters rather than sounds may cause difficulties in the future.
Teach your child to form syllables from two vowels. He must understand how sounds are connected.
Go to syllables in which the first letter is a consonant and the second is a vowel. It will be easy.
Combine syllables with sibilants.
Go to closed warehouses (vowel-consonant).

Teaching a child to read in a playful way

Having fun is the easiest way to instill an interest in books in a child. There are many game techniques aimed at developing reading techniques:

Learn together short poems talking about letters.
Make the letters yourself. To learn the alphabet, collect them from available materials: plasticine, counting sticks, matches. You can cut them out of cardboard and cover them with colored paper.
Create an album in which each page becomes a “home” for a letter. Paste pictures with words that begin with it.
Select the letter to study. Throw the ball to the baby and say the words. If he hears the right sound in them, let him catch the ball, and if not, let him hit it.
Make round cards with syllables and play “Shop”. Each warehouse is a coin. The buyer gives one of them and orders from the seller the product that begins with this syllable (ba - banana, ku - doll).
Write the warehouses on the cards in large, bold letters. Slice each horizontally and mix. Let the child collect all the halves and read the syllables.
Give your child a long word. Let him find several small ones in it.
Make cards with syllables. Show your child a drawing depicting a particular word. Let him compose it from syllables.

How to learn to read syllables

Experts recommend starting to do this right away; the child does not even need to know all the sounds. Then the learning process will go much faster. Use gaming techniques, various auxiliary materials. If the child confidently composes words, move on to the stage of collecting words. Remember how to properly teach your child to read syllables. Classes should take place in the sequence described below.

Reading lessons by syllables

The process must be consistent. What are the stages of learning to read by syllables:

First, make simple words from repeated syllables (pa-pa). Watch your pronunciation.
Go to the lungs and clear words of three or four letters (le-s, po-le).
The process becomes more complicated. Teach your child to read words of three or more syllables (ko-ro-va). It is advisable to study with pictures.
Continue reading simple sentences(ma-ma we-la ra-mu).

How to teach a child to read beyond syllables

Combining words into words takes children a lot of time and attention. Parents must teach their child to read fluently, pronounce syllables together, assimilate the text well and perceive it as a whole. There are the following methods for this:

Speed reading. Choose texts that are age-appropriate for your child and measure how much he can read in a minute. Then let him retell it summary text.
Mix up the words in a sentence and let your child form it correctly. Start with simple examples.
Role reading. Choose a children's story. Let the child voice one character, and you the other. Read by role. This will help the baby choose the right intonation, keep the rhythm, pause in the right places, and understand the meaning.
Difficult words. Every day, let your child read about 30 words 2-3 times, in which there are many difficult combinations of consonant sounds.
Develop peripheral vision and logical thinking, train your memory, correct pronunciation, reading speed.
Address speech therapy and other problems.

How to teach a child to read using Zhukova’s ABC book

This book offers a combination of traditional and modern techniques. Already on the third task the child will have to read syllables. The author suggests his own order of getting to know the letters, not the traditional alphabetical one. The book contains detailed instructions on conducting lessons, so even parents without pedagogical education can easily organize a lesson. To teach a child to read at home, the following scheme is used:

Introducing vowels and consonants.
Learning to read syllable by syllable.
Development of closed warehouses.
Transition from simple words to complex ones.

Teaching a child to put letters into words, and words into sentences, is not an easy task. On this difficult path, parents will need patience, accuracy and consistency. Today we will answer the main questions: how to teach a child to read syllables without the help of teachers, and what exercises for teaching reading at home are most effective.

Learning to read: is your child ready to learn to read?

According to psychologists, the best age for learning to read is from 4.5 to 6 years. In practice, a child strives to learn to read at the age of 5 years. It is worth remembering that each child is individual in his development, and if you do not meet the generally accepted deadlines, this only means that the learning process should be postponed a little.

There are a number of factors that indicate whether a child is ready for at the moment master the reading process. Here are the most important of them:

No pronunciation problems– the child has the correct tempo and rhythm of speech, all sounds are delivered;
No hearing problems– the child does not ask again many times, does not distort words that are easy to pronounce;
Sufficient speech proficiency– a rich vocabulary, the ability to construct phrases and express one’s thoughts clearly for others;
Developed phonemic hearing– the child can freely distinguish speech sounds, reproduce heard sounds, name the first/last sound in a word;
Free orientation in space– the child clearly knows the concepts of right/left and top/bottom.

By carefully observing your child, you will notice the moment when he becomes interested in putting letters into words. The child will show familiar symbols on store signs to mom and dad, and one day he will try to read them in full. Of course, in his first attempts, the baby will probably read the word incorrectly, but this is not scary - it indicates that his brain is ripe for learning a new skill.

Known methods for teaching children to read

Methodology	How it works
Training using the Doman method	Global reading – this phrase can describe Doman’s technique. It involves learning to read whole words and is based on the peculiarities of the baby’s brain. The idea is to surround the child with words written on bright cards/posters (“table”, “chair”, “wardrobe”, etc.). Mechanical memory allows a child to remember and retain an accumulating volume of simple words. You can start following the method as early as 5-6 months.
Syllable reading method	A traditional method, which from year to year remains the most popular among parents who want to teach their child to read at home. The child first puts letters into syllables, and then into words. In children over 4.5-5 years old, this method brings quick results. The material is easily reinforced in game tasks. This method of teaching is used in kindergartens and schools, which is a definite plus.
Warehouse reading method	In this technique, the word is not divided into syllables, but sounds are combined into warehouses. For example, the word “cup” will not be read “cup-ka”, but “cha-sh-ka”. The warehouse can consist of one letter, a consonant and a vowel, or a consonant and a hard/soft sign. Despite the fact that the technique is very common, there is a possibility that the child will have to relearn it at school - after all, they use the method of reading by syllables. The habit of splitting words into words can take root, which will subsequently make it difficult to perceive the text and slow down reading.
Zaitsev cubes	The technique helps to master the basics of reading through the perception of syllables. Various tables, colorful cubes different colors taken with fillers active participation in visual teaching of connecting letters into syllables. Lessons with the help of Zaitsev's cubes are highly effective during group interaction (in kindergartens, child development centers, etc.). The technique under consideration helps to obtain maximum results in minimal time for those children who find it difficult to sit in one place.

Moms and dads who are trying to teach their child to read as quickly as possible should be very sensitive in their approach to this important issue. To ensure that your child does not lose interest in reading from the first lessons, we invite you to get acquainted with current tips. They will help instill in your child a love of books during the learning process.

Alphabet with early age

Let the child, from infancy, “absorb” into himself, like a sponge, the names of letters in the form of songs and games. Short, memorable poems about letters will be imprinted in the child’s memory, and by the age of two, the child will be able to quite consciously recite them. From time to time, include various songs and mini-cartoons about the alphabet, especially since in this presentation the letters are memorized effortlessly.

Unobtrusive training

For a preschooler, a game is main process, through which he learns about the world around him, including when mastering skills. Boring classes and cramming will not bring the desired result; moreover, the child may completely stop loving reading. Present information in a warm environment, patiently, and the child will learn the necessary knowledge at a pace that suits him specifically.

Exercise every day

If you started to take the first steps in reading syllables, and they were unsuccessful, it’s too early to give up. You can take a break of 1-2 days and then try again. Did your child manage to read a couple of syllables made of vowels? Great, that means initial reading skills have been acquired and need to be developed. Exercise regularly, and the results will not be long in coming.

Get interested in reading

Often, learning difficulties arise with those children who were practically not read to in childhood, and their relatives did not set their own example of reading books. This can be fixed. Stories, fairy tales, a children's room should appear in your home fiction, interesting to your child. Do family tradition– reading a short work before bed. The baby will not refuse parental attention, and an interesting story will stimulate his interest in the book.

From simple to complex

It happens that a child knows the names of letters, but does not know the sounds. A child will not be able to master reading until he has learned the pronunciation of sounds well. In this case, deal with it step by step:

study sounds;
move on to reading syllables;
teach your child how to merge syllables.

Only after completing these three stages can you begin to learn to read full words.

First steps to reading: getting to know the letters

To teach a child to read, it is necessary to maintain an interest in books and letters from an early age. As a rule, at 2-3 years old children begin to show attention to the alphabet. It is very important for parents to provide the right developmental space at this moment.

Visualization

A child will remember letters quite quickly if there is a bright poster with the Russian alphabet. The baby points to the letter - say the corresponding sound. You may have to return to “A” and “B” more than once and repeat them, but this is how your baby will remember them faster. For busy parents An interactive panel with letters will be a good help - it itself sounds the letter that the child clicks on.

Touch

To memorize the letters of the alphabet, it is important for a child to use his sense of touch. To develop your child’s abstract thinking, invite him to get acquainted with letters molded from plasticine or cut out of cardboard. Pay attention to the similarity of objects and letters - the horizontal bar looks like a “P”, and the donut is the spitting image of the letter “O”.

Tea party by letters

The process of learning letters will be very fun and tasty if you offer your child an edible alphabet. Using curly pasta, you can cook Abvgdeyka soup, and for dessert, bake your own homemade ABC cookies.

Magnetic entertainment

With the help of a magnetic alphabet, you can turn the process of learning letters into a fun and memorable game. For example, 1-2 year old children can be lured by simply attaching a letter to the surface of the refrigerator and saying it. “Give me the letter! What do we have? This is the letter A! If your child is already 3 years old, he will enjoy playing “magnetic fishing.” You need all the magnetic letters in a container, and make an improvised fishing rod from a stick and string with a magnet. Having caught a “fish”, pronounce its name, drawing an analogy with the word. “This is a fish F! Look how much she looks like a beetle!”

By keys

Children love to imitate the actions of adults. Let your child press buttons in an open text editor to his heart's content - he will be interested in the letters appearing on the screen. Show me how to type the simplest word “mother”. You can print out the first letter and give it to your child. Even if there is a completely unthinkable combination, this will be a kind of impetus for memorizing the alphabet. Also, to master letters, you can give your child an old computer keyboard to “tear to pieces.”

Mastering the principle of reading syllables

Children usually pronounce each sound separately, and this is understandable - it takes them time to remember what the next letter is called. The parents' task is to help the child overcome this natural difficulty.

You need to start the exercises with words consisting only of vowels. For example, AU, IA and UA. To these in simple words you need to draw/choose illustrations - for example, a girl lost in the forest (“AU!”), a baby lying in a cradle (“YAH!”), and a cute donkey chewing grass (“EA!”). Ask your child not to read the inscription, but simply to sing it. You can sing slowly, “draw out” the syllable, but don’t stop: AAAAUU, IIIIAAA, UUUAAA.

Note! Be sure to teach your child to recognize exclamation marks and interrogative sentences. Use your voice to highlight the moment of exclamation; the baby should distinguish “Huh?” and “Ah!”

Don’t be afraid to return to what you have covered; continue to teach your child to read the simplest syllables. When the first sound of a syllable is a consonant, it is more difficult for a child to read it. But, nevertheless, you also need to learn to read it, without this you can’t do it at school. Let the child “pull” NNN and then put A, O, or U. The boy gives the girl candy - NNN (“NA!”). The kid is swinging on a horse - NNNO (“BUT!”). The girl took her mother’s hand - MMMA (“MA!”). Please note that the child may “pull” the first sound long enough to remember the next one.

Important! Do not rush your child if he thinks while reading a syllable that is difficult for him - when he gets a feel for the principle of adding syllables, the process of mastering the skill will go much faster.

If the child fails to read the word, then the parent should read it himself, then try to read it again with the child. Then move on to the next syllable. Regardless of success, encourage and praise your little student.

Most primers for children 6-7 years old suggest learning using syllabic tables. They are a list of various syllables that do not have semantic meaning, but based on visualized memorization. Example: for the letter “N” the sounds are “NA-NO-NU-NY-NI”, for “M” - “MA-MO-MU-WE-MI”, for “T” - “TA-TO-TU-YOU” -TI”, etc. Of course, such tables have a right to life, but they are not at all interesting to children. It is absolutely not necessary to force a child to read various “VU” and “VA”; it is quite possible to cope without such outdated methodological material.

Advice! A child should not get tired of reading. In the first month, read syllables no more than 3-4 times a week. Let the lessons go not in a row, but every other day. From the second or third month you can teach your child to read daily.

Games to help your child learn to read

Reading skill requires diligence and regular practice. To make learning easier, look at pictures in books, discuss the situations depicted in these pictures, and make up stories based on them. Communicate and talk more with your child - this will help him develop thinking and coherent speech.

To discover the wonderful, interesting and huge world books we offer you games for learning syllables, their correct pronunciation and memorization. Exercises in these games are suitable for children from 3 to 7 years old.

Letter learning games	Games for the ability to add syllables	Games to develop reading skills
Together with your child, create images of letters that he can play with. They should be bright and memorable. You can make cards yourself with letters and animals/objects depicted on them (A – STORK, B – DRUM, etc.).	Simple and at the same time interesting game- “Make a word.” It is based on circles with written syllables and pictures that tell the child what word to form. For example, a picture of a river. The child must choose two circles. On the first circle the syllable is RE, on the second - KA. A picture of porridge: choose circles with the syllables KA and SHA.	Game "Make a word". The child needs to make a word from mixed up syllables and letters. For example: we create a game situation - granddaughter Masha decided to give her grandmother gifts and wrote them down so as not to forget. Suddenly a strong wind blew in and mixed everything up. Let's help Mashenka remember what she wanted to give to her grandmother by making up the correct words from the mixed up syllables and letters.
To memorize letters and sounds, recite short association poems, for example: A-ist A-zbu-ku-became, On A-bus-bus o-poz-dal. The Cat is looking at Kar-tin-ku, On Kar-tin-ke, the Whale floats. O-slick sees O-bla-ka, O-fucks them re-ka.	Game “Find the hidden word”. You need to lay out a path in front of your child. different words. The reader's task is to choose what you wished for. For example, among the words: “cat, swing, chair, carrot,” find a “living” word - animal, vegetable, piece of furniture, children's entertainment.	Game exercise “Read quickly.” The child should, with maximum fast speed say the words: – soap, soap, soap, milk, soap; – cheese, cheese, cheese, peace, cheese; - saw, saw, saw, linden, saw; – salt, salt, salt, sel, salt; – river, river, hand, river, hand.
With your child, construct letters from available materials - pencils, matches, counting sticks or salt dough.	The game “Word in Word” is very interesting for children aged 5-6 years. Need to find a smaller word in big word, for example E-LEK-TRO-STAN-CI-YA: CAT, NOSE, THRONE, etc.	Game "Name What You See". The point of the game is that the child must name everything that he sees around him with a certain letter. You can also name animals (CAT, RAT, RABBIT), toys (BALL, CAR), or the names of cartoon characters (CARLSON, KROSH) by a certain letter.
Create a coloring book where each page will live specific letter. For letters, you can draw a house, or decorate the letter with a design starting with it (A- ASTRA, B - BEREG, etc.).	Game “Make a syllable from halves.” To play, you need to write different syllables on cardboard cards, cut them in half horizontally, then mix them. The child's task is to collect the cards and read the syllables written on them.	Game exercise “Guess what is wrong.” The child is asked to look at a picture with a misspelled word underneath it. The task is to read the word syllable by syllable, find the error and replace it the desired letter(for example, KO-RO-VA and KO-RO-NA)
To learn letters you can use board games– dominoes, lotto with alphabet. A parent can make a lotto with letters on their own. To make it, you will need 8 cardboard cards with written letters, as well as small pictures with letters that the child will name to search on the cards.	Walking games are a good way to help you understand the principle of reading syllables. You can purchase such games or make them yourself, using ready-made walking games as a basis. You need to write various syllables in the empty cells. You need to move the chip along them. During the game, the child throws the dice. The baby must read the syllables that come his way. The process can result in audio tracks consisting of 4-6 syllables. The winner of the game is the one who reads all the syllables faster and gets to the finish line.	Game exercise “What’s in the plate.” Before eating, ask your child to say syllable by syllable which food is in front of him. Help pronounce words with a large number syllables, while setting the tempo of pronunciation (KA-SHA, MO-LO-KO, PU-RE, OV-SYAN-KA). One of interesting options This game could be a game of “cook”. The child’s task is to create a menu for lunch using words starting with the chosen letter, for example “M”. If there are not enough words for one letter, then you can offer to find products in the refrigerator that begin with 2 letters, etc.

Pay attention! How to quickly teach a child to read so that he does not get tired of the learning process and does not lose interest? You need to work with him regularly, but at the same time not for long. For the first lessons, 5-7 minutes will be enough. Gradually this time can be increased to 15-20 minutes. If you conduct classes in a playful way, it will be easy and not boring for your child to learn the skill of reading.

Exercises with words: strengthening the skill

As soon as the child learns to merge letters into syllables, parents can be congratulated for being halfway through the journey. Now the most important thing is to consolidate the acquired skill. In this case, fun and interesting tasks will be used.

What to play	What to do
Who eats what?	Write the names of the animals in the column: CAT, KO-RO-VA, SO-BA-KA, BEL-KA, RABBIT, MOUSE. And to the right and left of the words, draw pictures: fish, grass, bone, nut, carrot, cheese. The child’s task is to read the word and “feed” each pet with the right food using the arrows.
Who's the odd one out?	Write a few words in a column: GRU-SHA, YAB-LO-KO, A-NA-US, PO-MI-DOR. Ask your child to cross out the extra word, and be sure to explain his choice. This way you can play with the names of vegetables, clothes/shoes, flowers, trees, birds, etc.
Big and small	Write the words DE-RE-VO, GO-RA, GRU-ZO-VIK, ZHI-RAF, I-GO-DA, DROP-LA, BU-SI-NA at the top of the sheet. Below, draw two pictures - a house (big) and a chicken (small). Let the child read the words, determine which ones are big and small, and connect them with lines to the matching pictures (a berry, a drop and a bead for a chicken, the rest of the words for a house). In a similar way, words can be divided into sweet and sour, heavy and light, etc.
Who lives where?	Write down the names of wild and domestic animals mixed together: WOLF, ELK, LI-SA, KA-BAN, KO-RO-VA, KO-ZA, CAT, SO-BA-KA, HEDGEHOG. Under the words, draw a forest on one side, and a village hut with a fence on the other. Let the child read the words and use arrows to depict where each animal lives.

Forming the habit of reading books from infancy

At the beginning of this part, we advise you to familiarize yourself with the experience of your mother. How to teach a child to read syllables (video):

Personal example

“A child learns from what he sees in his home.” The well-known expression comes in handy when developing a child’s understanding of the importance of reading. If the baby often sees his parents and relatives with a book, then reading will become a part of his life. Let the baby with early years knows that reading is interesting, and good book may well replace computer game or watching a cartoon.

Vivid illustrations

When choosing a book to start reading, do not forget that pictures are important for children. Thanks to expressive, bright drawings, following the plot will be easier and more interesting for the child.

Regular reading

A love for books does not develop overnight. If an adult regularly reads short fairy tales aloud to a child, after a month or two the child himself will show more interest in the works. The first words you read are often those on the cover of your favorite book.

Possibility of choice

The child should be interested in what you plan to read with him. Already at 4 years old, a little reader is able to determine how interesting a particular book is to him. At this age, it’s time for the first trip to the library - let your child choose a book according to his own desires.

Limit TV viewing

Reading, of course, requires certain intellectual efforts from the child. The same cannot be said about television - it literally takes away the opportunity to dream up, providing ready-made images. You shouldn’t completely deprive yourself of watching cartoons, but it makes sense to limit the time you spend behind the screen and strictly select the permitted TV programs.

The baby is growing up. His skills are also growing - he can already speak in sentences, knows colors and shapes, and is oriented in letters and numbers. But how to teach a child to read? At what age do you start training? How do you even approach such a difficult task?

When should you teach your child to read?

Currently, there are many methods of teaching a child to read: this is the Doman method, and Maria Montessori’s velvet letters, and Zaitsev’s cubes, and the Tyulenev method. The list can be endless. All these methods and manuals are designed for teaching a child at home by the parents themselves, but there are also special clubs and courses where experienced teachers teach children.

But how do you know when it’s time to teach your child to read? Parents have never betrayed this before of great importance homeschooling, and children learned to read at school at 6-7 years old. Now the situation has changed, and babies are taught to read almost from the cradle.

To understand that a child is ready to learn, it is worth considering several factors.

First of all, the baby must be fluent in speech, quickly compose sentences, and understand the meaning of simple words.
The baby should not have problems with hearing or pronunciation.
The baby must know the basic directions: left-right, up-down.

However, many children themselves show interest in books - the mother can only clearly explain to the child what it is like to read.

12 rules for learning to read

Here are some tips to help you find common language with your baby and introduce him to the wonderful world of literature.

Rule 1. Don't force

There is no need to force a child to love reading. This attempt is doomed to failure. If you want to raise a reader, get him interested in literature. Place books around the house and read interesting stories aloud to your baby. Also, your child should regularly see you reading a book. Children want to be like their parents, so your child will also most likely be interested in how you read.

Rule 2. No letters

It is difficult to explain to a child that “r” and “re” are the same thing, and that in the word fish it is necessary to pronounce “r” and not “re”. This is why you cannot teach your child letters first and then sounds. On the contrary, first the sounds (m, n, r, s), then the letters (em, en, re, se).

Rule 3. Learn syllables, not letters

Syllables or even whole words are much better learned by a child than some incomprehensible individual letters. Show your child the letter in the whole word. You can also print out cards with syllables and try to teach your child to form words and read syllables.

Start with basic words with repeating letters: ma-ma, pa-pa, ba-ba.
Next, teach words in the form “syllable + letter”: ma-k, do-m, ko-t, ba-s.
Learn sentences. You can start with the banal: Mom washed Mila.
Leave the letters ъ, ь, й for last.

Rule 7. Learn everywhere

Are you going for a walk? Great! Invite your child to read store signs or words on a billboard. At the same time, do not swear if the baby cannot read this or that word. Treat your child with tolerance and kindness.

Rule 8. Play!

Come up with games that require knowledge of letters, syllables and sounds. For example, you can ask your child to find all the words in the text starting with the letter A (B, C, D...) and read them. Or buy special magnetic cubes and make words from them.

More good exercise, which will help both teach a child to read correctly and develop his attentiveness. Give your baby a few cubes (one of them should include one vowel and several consonants). Ask your child to choose a vowel.

Rule 9. Get interested.

Show your child that reading is necessary for normal life in society. Write notes to your child, show notes in notebooks, letters from relatives, greeting cards.

Rule 10. Reading aloud

How to teach a child to read quickly? Eat old method- This is reading aloud for a while. For example, time a minute and ask your child to read the entire time. Count how many words will be read in a minute. You can start a “Reader’s Diary” and record all your child’s successes there.
