How to teach a child to speak? Will mom be able to cope with this task herself, without the help of a specialist? Yes, he can. We have collected 10 rules, following which you will help your baby start speaking early, build up his vocabulary, and make your child’s speech as clear and correct as possible.
When my daughter was born, I received a second degree in speech therapy. Working with my daughter and using communication techniques with children with speech impairments, we achieved very good results. My child’s speech has become clear and rich, and my daughter speaks with pleasure and a lot. These rules are suitable both for children with normal speech development and for children experiencing any difficulties.
1. In the first months after birth, the baby spends all his time with his mother; he needs her for full development. The mother leans over to the baby, looks into the baby’s face, coos affectionately with him, intuitively choosing the right way of communication.
It is important that the mother constantly talks to the child, singing to him: A-a-a! Ooo! So that the baby can see the mother’s face and see her articulation.
2. Talk to your child about everything, comment on all your actions: “Mom took the bottle. Mom poured milk into the bottle. Mom gave the bottle to Masha. Mashenka, here!” You know what you are doing, you perform this operation automatically, and the child has not encountered these actions in past life experience. It is necessary to tell the baby about everything that the mother does.
3. Talk to your child so that he sees your face, your articulation, your facial expressions. Don't throw words away on the run. The child begins to speak, imitating an adult, and we must help him. Pronounce words clearly, emphasize stressed vowels. For example, when showing a picture of a cow, say loudly, opening your mouth wide: “This is KA-ROO-WA. (We write Korowa, but pronounce Karova, that’s what you should say to a child). The cow says: MOOO!” Pull your lips forward, and the child will soon understand how the sound U is formed.
4. When the baby gets older (from about 1 year 4 months - 1 year 8 months) and begins to speak on his own, start talking to him in your normal voice, while clearly pronouncing sounds. Only when naming new or difficult to pronounce words, look the child in the face and articulate exaggeratedly, i.e. pronounce each sound louder, more clearly than usual. This will help your child understand how to pronounce a difficult word.
5. Do not replace complex words with simple ones. If there is an octopus in the book, call it that. Do not generalize in one word, for example, “hat” a cap, a scarf, a Panama hat, a hat, a helmet. The child will sooner or later learn that these are different hats, each with its own name. If you immediately call a bun, muffin, cookie, shortbread, manna, sour cream, etc. by their proper names, then the baby will begin to distinguish them.
How to teach a child to read syllables and then fluently
Many of us still remember that same blue primer with the big bright letter “A” on the cover. Thanks to this book, millions of children quickly learned to read. Time has passed, and now these children have matured and become parents themselves. But now they are already do not refer to the same book , from which they themselves once learned to read. Nowadays, there are so many methods in fashion for teaching children to read that you can easily get confused as to what to choose in order to quickly teach your child to read and, most importantly, correctly. Tyulenev's technique designed to teach babies almost from the cradle, Zaitsev cubes and rough letters of Maria Montessori promise miracles in learning. Young parents rush between all these methods, and with them, so does their child.
And yet, how to teach a child to read , which methodology to give preference to, when to start training and where? These questions concern many young fathers and mothers. But few of them think about what to learn letters and be able to put them into words and phrases with proposals is not the most important thing.
Early childhood development is very fashionable now. . As soon as a child is one year old, they begin to teach him to read and count. But it has already been proven that this is fraught with consequences for the developing psyche of children. The belief that the earlier a child’s education begins, the better is wrong. According to neurologists, parents seeking very early learning , can harm your baby.
Let's figure out how a child is formed.
- WITH early pregnancy and up to three years of age, the formation of the first functional block of the brain occurs, which is responsible for the emotional, cognitive and bodily perception of the child.
At the age of three and up to five to eight years, the second functional block of the brain is formed. It controls perception: vision, hearing, smell, taste, touch.
According to ophthalmologists, early child education reading is fraught with consequences for the eyes - myopia may develop from premature visual stress. Experts do not recommend teaching reading earlier than five or six years of age. Before this age, the formation of the ciliary muscle, which is responsible for visual acuity, occurs.
Development of a child’s conscious mental activity occurs between the ages of seven and fifteen years.
The functional blocks of the brain are formed sequentially. All attempts by parents to “jump” any of the stages will negatively affect the development of natural processes , which occur in the child’s body at one time or another. There is simply a distortion in the natural development of the baby. Consequences of a child's early education may not appear immediately. That is what they are fraught with. Years later, this can affect emotional and personal relationships with people. It can also result in an unpredictable form: stuttering, tics, neuroses, various speech disorders and obsessive movements.
How to determine that a child is physiologically ready to learn to read?
- the child has developed speech, he can speak in sentences and compose a coherent story;
The baby has no speech therapy disorders . Moreover, here we mean not only the correct pronunciation of individual sounds, but also violations of the rhythm and melody of speech;
The child is well oriented in space, without getting confused in the concepts of up and down, right - left;
The child’s phonemic hearing is sufficiently developed – he easily recognizes the sound not only at the beginning of a word, but also in its middle part and at the end of the word.
How to teach a child to read correctly so as not to cause tears, reproaches and resentment? This question is asked most often by parents of future first-graders. Of course, you can stick to the method that is familiar to everyone. It comes down to daily monotonous activities, during which the child learns to write hooks and sticks and also reads the primer. But all fathers and mothers know that such activities bring boredom, fatigue and irritation; the child does not learn to read thoughtfully. As a result, a reluctance to study develops. And although the child will receive certain knowledge and skills, such training is unlikely to become for him a good school for the development of feelings and emotions, as well as a means of understanding the world around him and himself in it. So that learning becomes exciting game and turned it into a joint creative process children and adults, so that the child learns to read correctly and quickly, choose a different path.
Just like babies learn to understand spoken language. , they must learn to read words and sentences. But the most important thing is that it is quite real and the facts confirm it.
Scientists have proven that the eye sees, but is not aware of what it sees; the ear perceives sound, but does not understand what it hears. The whole process of understanding this happens purely in the brain.
When we hear a spoken word or sentence, the sounds are split into several electrochemical impulses that are sent to the brain. Our brain connects all these impulses together and perceives their meaning and meaning. A similar effect occurs with vision. Our eyes see what is written, but do not understand it. The brain does not see what is written, but understands it.
The visual and auditory endings are passed through the brain, which processes the information received. If a child had to master only one of many skills, then such a skill would undoubtedly be the ability to read . It is the basis of all types of standard, formal and informal learning.
How to quickly teach a child to read so that he doesn’t get tired and lose interest? Exercise regularly, but not for long. For the first lessons, five to ten minutes will be enough. Gradually this time can be increased to thirty minutes. Conduct the lesson as a game – it should be easy, interesting and not boring for the child.
Before you start reading techniques, learn all the letters with your baby. Cubes will help very well with this. The pictures drawn on them will help you recognize the object and associate it with the letter. Teach your child to correctly name the letters: watermelon - “A”, house - “D”, etc. Play a game with your child - ask him to find the letter “A”. At the same time, do not rush to give hints. The child must learn on his own find the right cube. If he can't do it, he needs help.
You can read with modern methods of teaching preschoolers to read correctly by clicking on the link - EXPAND PAGE . 10 important tips to help you teach your child to read correctly:
TIP 1
What method of teaching reading to follow? ? When teaching your child to read syllables, give preference to the usual primer, which was compiled by K. Zhukova. This book is an effective assistant for a child who learns to understand how to put letters into syllables, syllables into words, and these words into whole sentences. There are not many pictures in the book, but there are enough of them so that the child does not get bored.
TIP 2
In which sequences to teach vowels and consonants. First, we teach the child open vowels - A, O, U, E, Y. Now you can start with solid consonants - M, N. But make sure that the child pronounces them correctly: not “um”, and not “me”, but simply “m”. Next in line are dull and hissing sounds: Ш, С, etc.
TIP 3
Don’t forget to review the material from the previous lesson with your child at each lesson. Remember together what sounds you learned in the last lesson. By reinforcing the material you have covered, you will help your child develop a competent reading mechanism.
TIP 4
Look in the ABC book. Show your baby how the first letter of the syllable “m” rushes to the second letter “a”. Explain to your child that this is how it should be pronounced: mm-ma-a-a - mm-ma-a-a. In such an accessible form, the child understands that one letter runs to another. As a result, they are spoken together, without separating from each other.
TIP 5
Now let's start learning simple syllables. To easily teach a child to read, you need to start with simple syllables that have only two letters: ma, la, ra, mu, mo. The child must master and understand how two letters form a syllable. It is important for him to master the mechanism of reading syllables. After he understands this, he will easily learn to read more complex syllables - with dull and hissing consonants: shi, yes, vo, etc.
TIP 6
You can start learning more complex syllables. Don't rush to read words or books. Let your child better understand the mechanism of reading syllables. Just complicate the task - read with it syllables that begin with a vowel: am, av, he, up.
TIP 7
After all the syllables have been mastered, we begin to read the simplest words: “ma-ma”, “ra-ma”, “my-lo”.
TIP 8
How easy is it to teach a child to read syllables? Be sure to teach your child to pronounce syllables correctly. This is a guarantee that he will learn to read well. Note. According to one of the methods, teachers and educators in kindergartens teach children to sing syllables. Kids quickly get used to this and sing the syllables constantly in one breath. However, they do not make any pauses between words. Some kids get so carried away that they sing the entire paragraph without observing punctuation marks - periods, exclamation marks and question marks. If you decide to teach your child to read, do it well. You don't need to let your child sing everything. Pay attention to him for pauses between words , and especially between sentences. Teach your child to this order: sang a word - pause, sang the second - pause. In the future, he himself will learn to shorten pauses. But at the beginning of training it is simply necessary to do them.
TIP 9
At what age is it best to teach a child to read? You shouldn't get ahead of things. At the age of three or four, it is unlikely that your child will be interested in poring over books, learning to read and put letters into syllables. At this age it is definitely too early to start learning to read. The only exceptions are those cases when the child himself clearly demonstrates his desire for this.
But at the age of five and six, children must be taught so that they can read and write words in block letters. Those children who go to kindergarten, educators teach this. If your baby does not attend kindergarten, you will have to work with the child. Let your grandparents take on this responsibility, at least partially. As a last resort, hire a tutor. This is necessary because modern methods assume that the child will come to first grade already prepared and reading syllables. This is also important from a psychological point of view. If you teach your child to read before school, it will be easy for him in first grade read and you will be able to avoid the first stress from school.
TIP 10
To quickly and correctly teach your child to read syllables, turn studying into a game. . You should not force your child to read expressively or fluently. It is much more important that he independently be able to put letters into syllables, read them in a book, and be able to compose words, phrases and sentences. He simply needs to master the reading technique. It doesn’t matter if at first it is slow and difficult for the baby. While remaining calm, smoothly and quietly help him correct mistakes while reading. Let it be like a game. After all, in the game you can relax without getting stressed. In the process of learning to read, what you need to achieve is that the child, without straining, understands what the elders want from him.
If you follow these tips, you will be able to teach your baby to read fairly well in just a month or a month and a half.
If your child can already read whole phrases passably syllable by syllable, we gradually move on to teaching the child to read fluently.

Our brain connects all these impulses together and perceives their meaning and meaning. A similar effect occurs with vision. Our eyes see what is written, but do not understand it. The brain does not see what is written, but understands it.
The visual and auditory endings are passed through the brain, which processes the information received. If a child had to master only one of many skills, then such a skill would undoubtedly be the ability to read. It is the basis of all types of standard, formal and informal learning.
How to quickly teach a child to read so that he doesn’t get tired and lose interest? Exercise regularly, but not for long. For the first lessons, five to ten minutes will be enough. Gradually this time can be increased to thirty minutes. Conduct the lesson in the form of a game - it should be easy, interesting and not boring for the child.
Before you start reading techniques, learn all the letters with your baby. Cubes will help very well with this. The pictures drawn on them will help you recognize the object and associate it with the letter. Teach your child to correctly name the letters: watermelon - “A”, house - “D”, etc. Play a game with your child - ask him to find the letter “A”. At the same time, do not rush to give hints. The child must learn to find the right cube on his own. If he can't do it, he needs help.
10 important tips to help you teach your child to read correctly:
What reading teaching method should I follow? When teaching your child to read syllables, give preference to the usual primer, which was compiled by K. Zhukova. This book is an effective assistant for a child who learns to understand how to put letters into syllables, syllables into words, and these words into whole sentences. There are not many pictures in the book, but there are enough of them so that the child does not get bored.
In what order should vowels and consonants be taught? First, we teach the child open vowels - A, O, U, E, Y. Now you can start with solid consonants - M, N. But make sure that the child pronounces them correctly: not “um”, and not “me”, but simply “m”. Next in line are dull and hissing sounds: Ш, С, etc.
Don’t forget to review the material from the previous lesson with your child at each lesson. Remember together what sounds you learned in the last lesson. By reinforcing the material you have covered, you will help your child develop a competent reading mechanism.
Look in the ABC book. Show your baby how the first letter of the syllable “m” rushes to the second letter “a”. Explain to your child that this is how it should be pronounced: mm-ma-a-a - mm-ma-a-a. In such an accessible form, the child understands that one letter runs to another. As a result, they are spoken together, without separating from each other.
Now let's start learning simple syllables. To easily teach a child to read, you need to start with simple syllables that have only two letters: ma, la, ra, mu, mo. The child must master and understand how two letters form a syllable. It is important for him to master the mechanism of reading syllables. After he understands this, he will easily learn to read more complex syllables - with dull and hissing consonants: shi, yes, vo, etc.
You can start learning more complex syllables. Don't rush to read words or books. Let your child better understand the mechanism of reading syllables. Just complicate the task - read with it syllables that begin with a vowel: am, av, he, up.
After all the syllables have been mastered, we begin to read the simplest words: “ma-ma”, “ra-ma”, “we-lo”.
How easy is it to teach a child to read syllables? Be sure to teach your child to pronounce syllables correctly. This is a guarantee that he will learn to read well. Note. According to one of the methods, teachers and educators in kindergartens teach children to sing syllables. Kids quickly get used to this and sing the syllables constantly in one breath. However, they do not make any pauses between words. Some kids get so carried away that they sing the entire paragraph without observing punctuation marks - periods, exclamation marks and question marks. If you decide to teach your child to read, do it well. You don't need to let your child sing everything. Draw his attention to pauses between words, and especially between sentences. Teach your child to this order: sang a word - pause, sang the second - pause. In the future, he himself will learn to shorten pauses. But at the beginning of training it is simply necessary to do them.
At what age is it best to teach a child to read? You shouldn't get ahead of things. At the age of three or four, it is unlikely that your child will be interested in poring over books, learning to read and put letters into syllables. At this age it is definitely too early to start learning to read. The only exceptions are those cases when the child himself clearly demonstrates his desire for this.
But at the age of five and six, children must be taught so that they can read and write words in block letters. Those children who go to kindergarten are taught this by their teachers. If your baby does not attend kindergarten, you will have to work with the child. Let your grandparents take on this responsibility, at least partially. As a last resort, hire a tutor. This is necessary because modern methods assume that the child will come to first grade already prepared and reading syllables. This is also important from a psychological point of view. If you teach your child to read before school, in the first grade it will be easy for him to read and the first stress from school will be avoided.
To quickly and correctly teach your child to read syllables, turn studying into a game. You should not force your child to read expressively or fluently. It is much more important that he independently be able to put letters into syllables, read them in a book, and be able to compose words, phrases and sentences. He simply needs to master the reading technique. It doesn’t matter if at first it is slow and difficult for the baby. While remaining calm, smoothly and quietly help him correct mistakes while reading. Let it be like a game. After all, in the game you can relax without getting stressed. In the process of learning to read, what you need to achieve is that the child, without straining, understands what the elders want from him.
If you follow these tips, you will be able to teach your baby to read fairly well in just a month or a month and a half.
If your child can already read whole phrases passably syllable by syllable, we gradually move on to teaching the child to read fluently. Below are 14 lessons with which you can teach your child to read fluently, and most importantly, correctly. It is advisable to teach a six- to seven-year-old child to read fluently for no more than 30 minutes once or twice a day. You can complete these lessons in any order. No more than 4 lessons per day.
How to properly develop a child’s vigilance
Try this task:
- In a series of five or six vowel letters, insert one consonant. Invite your child to find the extra letter. You can vary this task.
- Write down words in which only one letter is different: whale - cat; juice - bough; forest - weight, etc. The child must answer how the words differ from each other.
Gymnastics that develops articulation in a child
These classes help improve pronunciation and help proper breathing and help make speech clearer.
Game “make a word from halves”
Choose simple words consisting of two syllables. One lesson will require at least ten words. Write these words on two cards and ask your child to put the words together correctly. Cards need to be changed constantly.
How to quickly train attention
The task is as follows. Your baby is reading text in a book. At your command “Stop!” he takes his eyes off the book, closes them and rests. On the command “Read!” the child must find the fragment where he paused his reading.
Semantic guess (anticipation)
The principle of anticipation - when reading, the child’s peripheral vision sees the outline of the next word. From what he reads, he draws a conclusion - which word should come next.
To develop a semantic guess, you can do the following exercise with your child. Write words in which either a letter or a syllable is missing. Give your child the opportunity to guess which letters need to be written. These activities significantly improve a child's ability to learn to read fluently.
Teach your child parallel reading
You will need two identical texts. Start reading slowly, and let your child read after you, following the lines with your finger. Gradually speed up the pace, but make sure your baby doesn't lag behind.
Reading for a while
Choose simple text. Record the time (for example, a minute) and let the child read. When the time is up, count how many words the child managed to read in a minute. When reading again, the child will read more words.
To develop clear pronunciation, read tongue twisters with your child. Read them slowly and in a whisper at first. Then - confidently and loudly. Make sure your child pronounces the endings of words clearly. In the same way, read proverbs and sayings with your child.
Game "make an accent"
Choose a word with several syllables and try with your child to emphasize each syllable. The child must determine which accent is correct.
Try to involve your child in the reading process. When reading your favorite fairy tale to him, stop at the most interesting place. Say that you are tired of reading and ask your child to read a short passage of text.
Watch filmstrips
This activity is the best way to train your reading technique.
How to develop a child's visual field
a) Draw a table. Write one letter in each box. Invite your child to read them all to himself, pointing to the letters with a pencil. You need to read as quickly as possible and remember the sequence of letters.
To teach your child to read fluently, practice reading upside down text. This is how memorization of complete letter patterns develops. The child will learn to combine the semantic ending of a word with letter analysis. Do not start this exercise right away, but when the child learns to read without errors. Thanks to this exercise, the child will learn to read quickly and correctly.

04/20/2017 at 10:02Let's make informed and meaningful choices.
You will be able to instill a love of reading that a teacher is unlikely to succeed in if you regularly read and discuss what you read in your home.
Be prepared that at school they will tell you, you don’t need to teach anything, we will teach you everything at school ourselves.
Here there are usually 30-35 people in a class, the lesson lasts 30 minutes, i.e. less than a minute per student.
We invite you to discuss this issue and weigh the pros and cons of teaching reading at home, as well as learn the secrets and avoid mistakes.
Do you read to your child at night? A simple question, but it is this habit that allows you to instill a love of reading from a young age. Which ones are better to choose, we will analyze in detail with the names and titles of fairy tales.
The pros and cons of reading bedtime stories are posted, as well as various aspects of this teaching method.
An excellent ally in games is any material you have at home. Let's analyze it and apply it to teaching reading.
And it may happen that the child will not keep up, then the teacher will tell you, study at home, because... the child does not read.
Reading technique will be tested to determine how many words per minute he reads. And the requirements are quite specific and measurable: 1st grade - 30 words per minute, 2nd - 36, 4th - 100 to 120.
From here, you can choose whether or not to teach your child to read at home, but remember, you cannot instill in your child a love of reading if you don’t read yourself.
A child learns from what he sees in his home!
Let's look at how to teach a preschooler to read quickly, correctly and easily by syllables, as well as to read whole words fluently at home.
When can you start teaching your child to read?
- The child clearly and correctly pronounces letters and words without errors and purely, i.e. without defects.
- When he already knows a few letters. You started studying them when he showed interest in them himself, and not at 3 or 2 years old, when a friend said that they were already learning letters.
- When he can easily recognize them in any spelling.
- He does not confuse them and clearly distinguishes O from A and K from F.
- He happily sculpts them, draws them or plays with them.
- Learn letters exclusively starting with vowels and then moving on to study consonants.
- Be careful when pronouncing letters and sounds. Pronounce consonants without vowel sounds.

Important Hidden Difficulties
The desire of parents to teach usually results in a copy of the school, when the child sits motionless at the table, and you, as a teacher, explain, but this is fundamentally not the right idea.
It is better when learning takes place in the form of a game, let the child be the teacher, so he will learn many times more.
Play when you have free time; 5 minutes is enough for the child to learn many times more in practice than in 30 minutes of training in the usual sense.
- letters learned incorrectly using audio alphabet books or books, for example, weighing tables often pronounce not M but ME, not P, but RE.
- the child does not understand how to connect them;
- special difficulties are caused by om, mind, and when vowels come before consonants;
- When starting to read words of 5-6 letters, the child forgets the beginning of the word.
What to do with this nightmare, and most importantly, how?
- Start to figure out what the child doesn’t understand.
- Read exclusively 2-3 letters at a time; the syllable chart (table of syllables) is the best helper. It is available on our website, and can also be purchased as a book.
- Exercise no more than 15 minutes a day, in a game and with joy.
- Praise for the slightest successes.
- Show your child why he needs this skill. For example, ask to read the name of a store, street, etc.
- Criticize using a diagram PDA - compliment, program, compliment. What a great guy you were, you read everything correctly, you made a slight mistake, but then you got it right, I’m proud of you!
- Move from simple to complex, until the child can easily read syllables of 2-3 letters, you cannot move on to reading words!
- A list of games to play with letters so that the child understands that it is easy and simple.
Pros and cons of teaching your child to read at home:
Pros:
Minuses:
- if you overdo it and the child learns more than just reading, then he will not be interested in the lessons;
- It is necessary to teach correct reading, hence the correct name for letters is not BE, but B, etc.
Why do you need to know all this?
To avoid mistakes and abandon the idea of a child learning independently using talking books, telephones or ABC books, in these cases there are many times more disadvantages.
How to teach a 6-year-old child to read at home quickly and in a playful way?
The fastest method always has a lot of disadvantages, and among them, the child begins to quickly forget it all.
So start today, because even a very busy mom or dad can find 15 minutes a day. The child will learn in a playful way much easier and without coercion and tears.
Always start any activity with the words: Let’s play a game...
Games that will constantly develop your child's reading skills:
- what letters are hidden in the picture;
- draw a letter and color it, a letter with eyes, arms, legs;
- make a letter from plasticine, clay, dough;
- put together the learned letters from a mosaic;
- cut out of paper and cardboard and play role-playing games, for example, M is mom, and P is the letter dad, and they also have D for daughter and S for son, or by name. You play a familiar game, just call it by name P, M or D, S. (These could be the following games: fire station, construction site, car repair, school, kindergarten, concert, travel...)
- play letter lotto;
- While walking down the street, name 5 words starting with the letter A or any other word you are learning.
- make a word of no more than 3-4 letters from letters;
- We make small words from a big word;
- the words are backwards, you say the word backwards, and the child rearranges and names correctly Okha - Ear, Tor - Mouth.
- Draw letters on semolina or any other cereal and, before finishing the drawing, ask them to guess what the letter is.
The video is dedicated to teaching reading in the game:
For boys
You can come across the following formulation: how to teach a child - a dunce boy - to read at 6 years old at home?
Labeling a child is fundamentally wrong, so let's call him a quickie or someone who is passionate about something other than reading.
The task is to captivate him, ask him what interests him?
Don’t give up right away, reducing everything to the fact that he is not interested in anything other than a computer and a tablet. Take a closer look at what games he plays, what he is especially interested in and what he is ready to do from morning to evening.
In the cartoon about Luntik there was a series where a little bug was taken to a river and into a clearing, and he just wanted to draw. Ask your child too.
Make a list of topics:
- Games.
- Cartoons.
- Favorite characters (robots, dinosaurs, cars).
- Sections where the child goes, for example, judo, football, swimming.
- Space or other interesting.
- Stories or legends about warriors.
And do everything using any related topics.
For example, we take words related to the theme of our favorite fairy tale or cartoon characters, and it can also be about space. Then the child will begin to play games that are close to him and captivate him, and not read; in general, reading becomes an auxiliary tool.
For example, a child who is interested in space is given an encyclopedia or a book about it, then even just looking at the pictures he will want to find out what is written there.
Let `s together!
The most magical phrase that works wonders. Don't expect your child to pick up a book and start reading on his own. Invite him to read and look at pictures together; very soon he will be able to do everything he does on his own, without your help.
Let's do a video on how to implement the advice together:
Find coloring pages with your favorite characters in various versions, where the words are written in block letters and try to read, stopping at the most interesting place.
What might this look like for a boy?
Hobby: fishing.
We write words related to fishing for reading and riddles: fishing, fish, fisherman, fishing rod, river, sea, river, perch, crayfish, bait, worm, float, hook, bite, nibble, tackle.
Books about fishing for children: we take it from the library or buy it from the store.
We prepare puzzles from the words written above + rearrangement of letters.
Tongue twisters and sayings about fishing:
- You can’t even pull a fish out of a pond without difficulty.
- I didn’t get up at dawn - I lost my fishing.
- He who is not lazy to fish will catch fish.
- To those who get up early, the fish come into their hands.
- You can see a chatterbox by his word, a fisherman by his catch.
- Talk about fish when you have fish in your hand.
- An avid fisherman is not pushed in the sides in the morning.
- I fished until the evening, but there was nothing for dinner.
- And in fishing, luck comes from work and patience.
Can also collect advice or recommendations and observations.
For girl
For a girl, an example: hobbies for Winx fairies and pet rodents.
We are looking for a magazine about the Winx fairies or an encyclopedia about rodents, a library for books or a store, but there is an additional option - this is the Internet, we recommend choosing high-quality articles and printing them while reading with your daughter.
Choice of words: Fairy names, witchcraft, fairy, magic, friend, wings, fly, nature, bright sun, dragon flame, waves, technology, music.
We make puzzles and words.
We play words, pronounce the word, she spells it.
We talk about the hero, you need to guess him and put his name out of sticks or matches, any sticks are possible, for example, for makeup remover or counting sticks.
Compose the names of the Winx fairies or your favorite princesses from letters.
Reading syllable by syllable
Let's figure out how to quickly and well teach a child to read syllables?
When you and your child have mastered vowels and started learning consonants, then it’s time to start learning to read syllables.
To make the learning process as easy as possible for parents, we suggest that you make a version of the reading table in Russian and reading in Ukrainian.
Such tables are very convenient to use, especially when acquaintance with syllables has just begun. If you want to play with syllables, then print out 2 copies of the tables at once, try to add simple words from letters, no more than 3-4 letters.
The best options are when the words are simple, for example, Mom, Masha, Dad, Sasha, Petya, Vasya, baba. When the child does not get confused with the new learned consonant, then it’s time to offer different syllables, for example, MA, MO, MU, but also AM, OM, UM, i.e. you make sure that syllables begin with both consonants and vowels.
Don't get irritated by explaining to your child over and over again how the letters are read together and how they sound separately. Sometimes it may be necessary several times, in other cases it needs to be repeated several dozen times.
Always say everything is ok! Well done! You can do it! Look, last time you didn’t name this letter, but now you said it right away, and in a week you’ll be able to read it syllable by syllable!
If the baby doesn’t succeed, you say: Let’s do it together!
Video help to parents on how to make their child learn everything easily:
Don't forget to repeat these 2 phrases and point with your fingers: Everything is okay! Well done!
Try singing the syllables, simply naming them while pointing with a pointer. When the child begins to recognize them with ease, then it’s time to try to put simple words together by syllables or from individual letters and read.
How to fold?
It is important not to rush to read until the syllables from the table are easy to read and will be recognized on the fly. Practice syllables until they become automatic in different games.
1. Familiar books or poems are great; choose familiar poems with in simple words and try to read them, using the syllables that your baby reads. Mom washed the frame. Masha drank juice. Sasha was eating porridge.
2. Try showing syllables in tables and individual letters. So that the child can guess the following words: cancer, poppy, mouth, nose, ear, car, steam, woof, heat, thief.
Working with the table in turn, first you, then the baby, and you add the words. Ma-Ma, CHA-SH-KA, RE-P-KA, PA-PA, MA-SHA, MU-HA, LI-ZA, SA-SHA, FI-LYA, i.e. you are working with a table. You show a syllable, then 1 letter, then another syllable, for example the word cup, if there are 3 letters, then the syllable and 1 letter r-k.
Why is the table better than the alphabet of letters and syllables?
Parents often purchase them at the request of the teacher, but then they turn out to be of little demand. Their disadvantages are that they need to be cut out, especially if it is on cardboard; the letters and syllables do not always fit into the slots and stay there.
Poorly organized for use and storage, they require envelopes or other storage containers and eventually they generally fall apart and get lost. It is very inconvenient to store cut letters, as well as use them.
In these cases, it is better to use cubes with letters; for clarity and storage, they are more practical, but with poor-quality printing and stickers, they will quickly peel off, and there are often very few of them for words with 5 or more letters.
We practice all these games as the child masters new letters. Great for relaxation, then build a tower out of cubes and collapse them, so that any learning comes through the game.
How to read syllables correctly?
If you succumbed to temptation and bought your child “My ABC Book” a wall chart or poster with letters, by clicking on them he sounds out the letters, there are also tablets and books.
So the main mistake of such devices is that they name letters, not sounds, i.e. instead of - R -ER, V - BE, B-Be, etc.
And the worst thing is, when unsuspecting parents begin to teach their child to read, a real brain explosion begins instead of Mom getting WE A WE A.
Well, it doesn’t work out for mom. Therefore, we do not recommend following the lead of such devices; if you still decide to use them, listen to what such a poster or book says, if it is incorrect, then it is better not to take it.
So what should we do?
We hang up a similar poster or a printed table and every time the child asks the sound is answered CORRECTLY, because now we know why it is extremely important to immediately teach the child to name the sounds correctly.
What's the fastest way to learn to read?
Definitely a game, if your ideas have run out, then use our recommendations. We play a game, first mom shows you are reading, then we change roles.
- We solve puzzles, draw pictures and guess a word through them, for example, the word milk. Masha Olya Luna Window Porridge Lunch
- Find all the syllables starting with Ma in a small text.
- From syllables, put together words invented by the child and come up with your own gibberish language.
- Lay out the words vertically, read the words from top to bottom and vice versa.
- Syllables or words may lose letters. Such guessing games.
- We put words together with a sock or mitten, the child teaches them what letters are and how to read. Cover 1 letter and you have to guess the word.
Video about what gibberish is:
Variant of the game with a sock in the video:
Now you have a whole range of games for teaching reading correctly and without errors, it is important that this happens in a fun way and gives parents the opportunity to adjust the learning process for each child individually.
Changing the theme to suit the baby's hobbies.
If you find it difficult to come up with or implement any game, we recommend not to worry. The website offers you detailed information from materials to implementation.
Choosing puzzles for your child correctly, to avoid mistakes, read the article.
We draw up a game plan for children easily and competently, and also take into account secret aspects that help the child develop and not get tired.
Which book to choose for studying?
- With large letters and colorful pictures.
- The letters appear one at a time, and after studying 2-3 they already appear in syllables.
- Different options for reading syllables, for example, MA - AM, MO - OM.
- Remember that 15 minutes is the maximum amount for a lesson.
Video from a speech therapist on learning to read:
When a child begins to read, it would be a big mistake to calm down and stop learning, because... There are speed requirements and this is not only a test of reading technique.
The slower your child reads, the more time he will need to complete homework and extract information from what he has already read.
It is no coincidence that the requirements for reading speed are increasing: 1st grade is 20 words per minute, 2-40, but a child can read with pleasure at a speed of 60 words per minute.
How to teach a child to read quickly and correctly in 1st grade: exercises
When the child has mastered the letters and calmly recognizes them, now is the time to work on reading speed. Before you start working with it, record how many words per minute your child is currently reading - this will help track progress.
Allow no more than 15 minutes a day for these activities so that he does not have time to get tired and come up with motivating moments that will record his progress and development.
For example: a table where the child writes at what speed he read and indicates the day, such a mini diary, if the speed increases, then he receives a gift - this is a game with his parents or a story from them, a trip to the zoo together or rollerblading, skiing, skating , take a walk in the park, play bowling or other games.
Motivation in the form of money or gifts can lead to the opposite effect.
It is extremely important to choose texts in accordance with the age of the child.
You can make a playful method by which you will learn to read quickly; to do this, write the names on cards and let your child choose which method you will read today.
Exercises:
- We attach a sheet of paper to the text so that all unread lines are covered. As we read using a curtain, we open all the following lines, but it is important to move a little faster than the child reads.
- We apply a sheet of paper to the top of the line and cover the words, a little faster than the child reads.
- Noisy texts, when words that are not related to it are inserted into the text. It’s easy to enter the finished text in Word and print it out.
- The tops are the roots. Close the bottom of the line using a ruler or a cut strip or bookmark. Do the same with the top part.
- Cut the text into a lattice shape and push it apart. This is easy to do if the text is a picture, then just put empty stripes.
- Lattice or frame. From paper we cut out a lattice shape with fairly wide cut-out columns, where thin strips left from the paper will cover pieces of text. Its size is equal to the size of a sheet of paper - 29*27 cm. The width of a thin column is 0.5 cm, a wide column is 2-3 cm, we place it on the text and read.
When this method is mastered, make the strips wider - 2-3 cm, let there be 2-3 of them on the sheet. - Wise trees - pyramid. When the text is arranged in a trapezoid shape, expanding from the middle to the edges.

Schulte tables
The video will teach you how to use tables correctly and expand your perspective:
Where can I get even more materials for teaching speed reading?
- Tatyana Djalo - she has an excellent course for children, from simple learning to quick reading.
- Books, videos by Andreev.
- Online games on the Internet with Schulte tables and more, but it’s up to you to decide how much time your child will spend on the computer, phone or tablet.
- There are a lot of articles on the Internet dedicated to quick reading.
It is important to understand that speed reading is a skill that is recommended to be taught at the age of over 10 years, but we begin to train fast reading with the help of games and exercises at the age of 6-7 years.
What is reading technique?
To understand the issues of fluent or fast reading, let's look at what it is by definition? They check the reading technique in the class, in parallel with the beginning of reading the child starts a stopwatch, when the minute is over, the student is stopped and the number of words read is counted. Which words count and which don't? Is the child's understanding of the text checked? If a child reads a word incorrectly, will it be taken into account? In fact, reading technique consists of several skills:
- Methods of reading (by letters, syllables or whole words);
- Reading pace, the speed at which a new text will be read in 1 minute.
- Mindfulness. When the child understands what he has read and can answer the questions.
- Expressiveness, but this skill should be discussed with your teacher separately. Since for fluent reading, pauses are minimal, unlike regular checking. And if you require your child to read quickly, then it is quite logical that the entire reading process should be fast.
We accelerate reading technique from 40 to 74 in 10 lessons in the second grade
Video with a ready-made selection of games to speed up reading from 40 to 74 in 10 lessons:
Now you know how to teach your child to read quickly and reading techniques are not scary for your family!
Try different methods and options, we wish you easy, fast and fun learning to read. Let your child easily master reading and enjoy it by constantly mastering new books and knowledge!
Mothers know how difficult it is to teach a child to hold a hand correctly. It’s worth thinking about this before you start getting your child ready for school. From early childhood there is a risk of teaching him to do it incorrectly, and then the habit can remain for life. And the problem is not only in handwriting, and not even in which hand he learns to write - left or right. This process can look very strange when an adult holds the pen somewhat awkwardly, as if with a claw. There are several effective ways to teach your child to write in a playful way; you can choose any one that you like and will interest your child.
How to properly hold a pen while writing
A pen or pencil should be placed on the upper phalanx of the middle finger, secured on top with the thumb and on the side with the index finger. The ring finger and little finger should be curled inside the palm or towards the base of the thumb. Grab the handle so that its lower end is one and a half centimeters free, and the handle itself is tilted towards the shoulder. The index finger should be relaxed, lying freely and at ease, otherwise the hand will quickly get tired.
The writing tool itself should be chosen as simple as possible: about 15 cm long, not thick, without many edges that complicate the writing process. Long souvenir or promotional pens are very inconvenient for learning to write.
8 ways to teach your child to hold a pen correctly
1. Tweezer method
To do this, you need to take a pencil or pen by the very tip with three fingers (thumb, index and middle) and place it on the table, resting it on the surface of the paper. We smoothly move our fingers down, sliding them along the pencil. They themselves will take the correct position, gently squeezing the pencil (pen).
2. Put the pen to sleep
Show with your own example how you can put a pen to sleep. Let's imagine that the middle finger is a crib. Let's put the handle on the "bed". Under the “head” (end of the handle) you need to place the pad of your index finger – a “pillow”. Cover the handle with a “blanket” - the pad of your thumb. Now we can safely begin to write. When writing, the hand rests on the little finger bent inward.
3. Using a napkin
We will need a regular napkin. It needs to be divided in half, otherwise it will be too big for a child's hand. We pinch half of the napkin between the ring finger, little finger and palm. We ask the child to take the pencil with the remaining three fingers so as not to let go of the napkin from his palm. Miraculously, the baby will hold the pencil correctly while the napkin is held between his fingers.
4. Educational attachment
5. Stabilо LeftRight training pen with a “tip” for fingers
Training pens have also been developed for children. They have a triangular shape, special grooves for fingers and greatly facilitate the writing process. The weight of these pens is slightly less than regular ones. Manufacturers did not forget about bright colors and colorful designs, so that the student would not be bored when writing with such a pen.
6. Using crayons
Teaching a child to draw usually begins with crayons. If you take pastel crayons and break them into pieces about 3 cm long, and then invite your child to draw with them, this will give just the desired effect. Short pieces cannot be grasped with a fist, so the baby will gradually learn to grasp the chalk with three fingers, as we need, and in the future he will not have problems getting acquainted with the pen.
7. Playing darts
When your child plays dart throwing, it also helps develop writing skills. The position of the fingers on the dart is exactly the same as it should be on a pen or pencil. You just need to invite him to imagine that the pen is a dart, then smoothly lower it towards the “target” - the paper.
Note to moms!
Hello girls) I didn’t think that the problem of stretch marks would affect me too, and I’ll also write about it))) But there’s nowhere to go, so I’m writing here: How did I get rid of stretch marks after childbirth? I will be very glad if my method helps you too...
8. Point on the finger
The easiest way is to put a bright dot on the upper phalanx of the middle finger. Explain to your child that you have marked the place where the pen should lie. The same mark, but in the form of a line, can be left on the lower end of a pen or pencil. Tell your child that the finger should not fall below this line.
How to sit at the table correctly
When writing, it is important to follow the following rules:
- sit at the table with a straight back;
- place your feet together on the floor or stand;
- both elbows should be on the table;
- the distance between the edge of the table and the chest is about 2 cm;
- the sheet of paper should be positioned at an angle of 30 degrees so that the lower left corner is oriented towards the middle of the chest.
How to develop writing and fine motor skills
Teaching a child to hold a pen correctly is not enough. To develop handwriting and coordinate writing, you need to do simple exercises that will become a kind of fun for him:
- cut out figures from paper using scissors;
- string beads on a thread;
- sculpt from plasticine, dough;
- tie knots on threads and ropes of various thicknesses;
- decorate drawings with a brush, pencils, felt-tip pens;
- draw by cells;
- trace the shapes along the contour;
- do finger gymnastics(repeat the movements of adults while reading rhymes).
Chapter from the book by M. Bezrukikh “How to teach a child to write beautifully”
We all write without thinking much about how we hold it. I will show this with pictures and an example. fountain pen. In Russian schools, children are now taught to write with ballpoint pens. You can use the same method for a fountain pen.
1. Imagine that on the middle finger right hand there is a "pad":
2. Place the handle on this “pad”:
3. Index and thumb grab the handle from above:
The distance from the very tip of the pen to the tip of the index finger (distance X in the figure) should be approximately 15 mm. If the distance is too small or too large, your hand will become strained when writing.
When we write, we follow the following rules:
We sit straight.
Feet together.
The distance between the chest and the table is 1.5 - 2 cm.
The notebook is positioned at an angle of 30 degrees. If the notebook is positioned differently, the child will have to turn his torso and tilt his head strongly.
The lower left corner of the sheet on which the child writes should correspond to the middle of the chest.
Both elbows are on the table.In my class we memorized little poem, which was repeated every time before starting the letter. It may sound a little unattractive to the ear, but it helps you remember the rules of landing and protects you from curvature of the spine:
“Sit up straight, legs together,
Let's take the notebook at an angle.
Left hand in place
Right hand in place
You can start writing."
Parents need to spend only 20 minutes a day on these simple exercises so that in the future their children write beautifully and quickly and do more in school (
