training programs for the development of first-graders

Types of programs for elementary school

Traditional and developmental systems of education are distinguished in pedagogy:

  • Traditional. Training is built according to the scheme "we study - we fix - we check." This system is used both in the beginning and in subsequent classes.
  • Developmental. Training is built according to the scheme "we study - we independently draw conclusions - we practice." As a rule, it is aimed exclusively at elementary grades and is not used in middle and high schools.

Each system has a variety of curricula. Consider the most popular.

Program L.V. Zankova

📌 Developmental curriculum for elementary grades

Fundamentals of the theory - the works of L.S. Vygotsky. According to the program, one should not be afraid of mistakes - they learn from them. The schoolboy jumps above his head, but his own, and not someone else's. Disadvantages of the system: a fast pace of learning and a high level of difficulty is not suitable for every child.

D.B. system Elkonin - V.V. Davydova

📌 Developing curriculum for elementary grades

Daniil Elkonin and Vasily Davydov are Soviet scientists. According to their program, students in elementary school are not graded, it is assumed that students must independently assess the level of their knowledge.

Most of the parents in this program are afraid that due to the lack of grades, the level of knowledge will be low. Elkonin and Davydov assure that learning is more effective if the student is not demotivated by subjective scores. By the way, elementary Waldorf schools adhere to a similar methodology - children are not graded there either.

“School of Russia”

📌 Traditional curriculum for elementary grades

“School of Russia” is the most popular curriculum. Complies with GEF and is used in most schools. The main goal is spiritual and moral development, which is formed in specially created conditions. The main vector is aimed at the adaptation of the child in the team.

Training under the program is aimed at adaptation in a team, accumulation of knowledge and skills for further training. But feedback from parents is not always positive. Many note that the world around us can be greatly reduced, and the four-year program is too long.

"RITM"

📌 Traditional curriculum for elementary grades

"RITM" stands for development, individuality, creativity, thinking. The program combines the traditions of the national elementary school K.D. Ushinsky and the achievements of modern psychology and methodology. The features of this curriculum in the primary grades of the school are variability and an extensive information and educational environment. It is believed that every child should learn to think creatively and independently, as well as to reveal their individuality. The system consists of completed subject lines of textbooks, which are included in the federal list, except for the ABC and Literary Reading.

Primary school of the XXI century (Vinogradova system)

Vinogradova is a doctor of pedagogical sciences and the creator of a training program for first grade children. The program is aimed at strong students. To pass it successfully, you need to come to the first class with a certain level of preparation. This program is based on the theory of L.S. Vygotsky, as well as the ideas of Elkonin and Davydov. UMK is included in the Federal list of textbooks recommended by the Ministry of Education and Science. It is believed that the goal of a teacher working on this teaching method is to teach a child to learn.

Perspektiva

📌 Traditional Primary School Education Program

The author of this Primary School Education Program is Lyudmila Peterson, a Russian teacher, mathematician and Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences. In addition to Perspektiva, she developed a popular mathematics course in Russia for preschool and school age. Peculiarities of WMC Peterson are personality education and spiritual and moral development. It is assumed that educational materials are structured so that the child's curiosity is not lost, but constantly nourished and turns into a need to learn new things.

"Harmony"

📌 Traditional education program for elementary grades

Educational program for elementary grades "Harmony" is based on two principles: humanization and developing education. A feature of the EMC is the dynamic assessment of the success of each child, which is reflected in the portfolio. The concept of the program was proposed by Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences N.B. Istomin. For successful learning under the program, the child must already be able to actively communicate, think logically, and have an objective interest in knowledge. Preparation of preschoolers for "Harmony" falls on the shoulders of parents.

“School 2100”

📌 Traditional primary education program

This primary education program is called “the concept of the educational system” because it has not one, but a whole team of authors: Sh.A. Amonashvili, A.A. Leontiev, L.G. Peterson, R.N. Buneev, E. V. Buneeva and others. It is based on the “pedagogy of common sense” by A.A. Leontiev. The features of the program are called continuity at all stages of education from kindergarten to university, consistency in the use of acquired knowledge and continuity in the sequence of educational tasks. Work on the program continues at the middle level. As a result, the authors see a child capable of self-development, owning a picture of the world and bearing responsibility for himself and his education.

"Planet of Knowledge"

📌 Traditional primary school curriculum

The fundamental principle of this program is variability. TMC consists of two parts:

  1. all schoolchildren should know the basic level;
  2. difficult level consists of non-standard tasks for curious students who want to increase their knowledge.

According to this elementary school program, the student must strive for new knowledge and enjoy learning. To do this, you need to create comfortable conditions. Therefore, the first year of study is considered adaptive - young students are not overloaded and are allowed to smoothly join the process. The advantages of the program are the variability of levels and tasks, the education of the desire to acquire new knowledge. The disadvantages include preschool education - the child must be able to read and count.

Promising Primary School

📌 Traditional Primary Education Program

This Primary School program was developed in 2006 along with the first GEF. As in the Planet of Knowledge program, the entire learning process is based on the child's desire to learn. For simplicity of reasoning, constant book characters were invented - Misha and Masha. So children in elementary school learn the material visually.

<

>

Teaching of four foreign languages: English, Spanish, German, French. The program is designed exclusively for beginners - in secondary school, children switch to a program chosen by the administration.

Parents' opinions vary greatly. Thus, many argue that the program is inconsistent and difficult to give. There are moments in the EMC that run counter to the usual school programs. For example, children do not count in a column, but lay out numbers, writing an example on half a sheet. At home, parents explain that it is easier to count in a column, and the child begins to get overtired from incoming disparate information.

Foxford program for grades 1-4

Education at Foxford elementary school is carried out according to the author's programs. However, when compiling them, teachers were guided by the current Federal State Educational Standards and basic school programs. So, the guys study mathematics according to Peterson.

The workload is balanced in such a way that the young student can master the prescribed program without stress, and he has time for games and extra activities. In the primary grades, they study the Russian language, reading (in grades 1-2, these subjects are combined into one - literacy), mathematics, and the outside world. If you wish, the period of study in the lower grades can be reduced and you can finish the primary school as an external student.

Algorithms and English have been added to the basic subjects at Foxford Primary School. You can also study additional modules in the Russian language, reading, mathematics and the world around you. Each course contains developmental activities to instill in children a greater interest in learning and make learning fun.

Reading training program for preschoolers, Teaching a child to read

For parents of preschoolers > Useful for parents

Bardova Lidia Georgievna

How good it is to be able to read!

Don’t pester your mother,

Don’t shake your grandmother:

“Read, please, read!”

Don't beg your sister:

"Well, read another page. "

No need to call,

No need to wait,

Or you can take

And read!

Valentin Berestov

"Teaching a child to read" is an effective and accessible program for teaching preschoolers to read fluently and consciously

Problems in teaching young children to read.

Reading is an amazing means of understanding the world. We use this tool every day in a variety of situations. At any moment we can satisfy our curiosity by opening a book or turning on a computer. Over the long years of study, the process of reading has reached us to automatism. We read without difficulty, and sometimes it seems to us that there is nothing easier than reading.

If a preschooler grows up in a family, then parents face the question: how to teach a child to read. In the old days, children were taught to read at school, but now, following some unwritten rule, the child must enter the 1st grade as a reader.

I must say that the parents themselves learned the basics of reading many years ago, and, naturally, they forgot how laborious and complex this process is. Therefore, many of them enthusiastically undertake to teach their child this “simple”, as they consider, process. And if the child is easily trained, then the parents cope with this work without problems.

However, many parents face great difficulties in teaching their children to read. This forces them to look for the necessary information on the Internet and on the bookshelves, where it is now, by the way, countless. However, often this information is either difficult for home use, or very ineffective. Therefore, some parents, whose family budget allows this, resort to the help of tutors.

What about other parents? Who will teach their children to read?

It turns out that preschoolers have become hostages of this difficult situation.

An effective children's education program.

For parents who would like to help their child learn to read, this guide has been developed. When compiling it, the experience of the most successful primary school teachers, as well as tutors preparing children for school, was used. This program is based on the well-known rule: any hard work will become easy if:

- correctly divide it into parts, i.e. - dose correctly;

- and then arrange these parts in a strictly defined sequence.

In the proposed program, the sequence of studying letters and syllables differs significantly from the generally accepted traditional system at school. And the amount of material for each lesson is dosed, taking into account the fact that at this age the attention of children is extremely unstable. Therefore, you need to deal with a child for about 10-15 minutes a day.

It is this sequence of each session and precisely this dosing of these activities that have become the main advantages of this program.

And one more of its advantages is that an adult does not have to have a pedagogical education to work under this program: it is enough for him to show a sample of reading and achieve its repetition.

Recommendations.

  1. Create and maintain a positive classroom environment. Show maximum patience, do not rush the child while reading, tell him at a critical moment. Never scold him, praise him with or without reason.
  2. Currently, various gadgets do nothing to awaken a child's interest in reading. Moreover, some children openly express a stubborn unwillingness to read. Given this circumstance, classes should be started in a mild form, without pressure and coercion, reaching agreement with the child, taking into account his desires, but at the same time showing some perseverance. And, due to the fact that these classes are short in time and small in volume, after a few days the child positively perceives the process of reading.
  3. Set yourself and your child up for daily activities (except weekends) , make them an obligatory item of the daily routine.
  4. Teachers and psychologists argue that each child has his own pace of learning. That is why this program does not indicate the time frame for passing a particular lesson. But, to achieve good results, one very important rule should be observed:0179 the child reads without errors and at a good pace. Throughout all classes, this is the most important rule. Strict observance of it leads to the formation of one of the most important skills in a child - the skill of confident reading. And this is the foundation on which fluent reading is subsequently easily developed.

The word is up to adults.

The purpose of this program is to make it as easy as possible to teach reading, not only for children, but also for adults. It includes 28 lessons that clearly show how much work a small child has to do in order to learn to read. For example, one two-letter syllables will have to learn more than 150 options.

If parents decide to walk this path together with their child, then they are worthy of the deepest respect and reverence. And as a reward for this work, parents will repeatedly experience feelings of joy for each success, as well as pride in themselves and in their child. And then all the difficulties that have to be overcome during this time are forgotten.

And one more important factor: such joint activities and success bring adults and children much closer.

Experience shows that love for a child, patience and regular practice necessarily lead to the fact that by the end of learning to read under this program, the vast majority of children read at the level of a student completing grade 1, and some even better . Surprisingly, this result is achieved with just 10-15 minutes of practice per day! Of course, such a result justifies any time spent on these classes.

Teach your child to read easily and with joy!

Good luck to you and your child!

Classes for teaching reading to preschoolers

Content of classes.

The number of syllables and words selected for each lesson is quite enough to learn to read, but this is subject to the rule mentioned above: the next lesson should be started only when the syllables and words of the previous lesson are read by the child error-free and confident.

Lesson 1.

First, learn 20 consonants. They should be pronounced briefly, abruptly, without overtones. You can't pronounce Be, We, Ge...

At first, we learn only capital letters together with the corresponding picture, then we read them without pictures.

B C D E F G K L M N

R S T V W Y Z

Lesson 2 HA TSA CHA SHA SHA

Session 3.

We tell the child that a capital letter at the beginning of some words means that this word is someone's name.

Then we begin to read syllables and words with the letters I, E, Yo, Yu, I. All these letters soften the consonant after which they stand. The letter b also softens the consonant, but it will be studied in lesson 26.

At this stage, we finish the study of letters, as well as various variants of syllables and words with them. It remains to say that the letter Y is also a consonant letter, but, unlike other consonants, it does not form an independent two-letter syllable with vowels.

Large fastening.

Reading skills can be consolidated through various aids. For example, in the books O. Perova " Primer-simulator" and Bakhtina "Primer" excellent material for these classes is collected. Classes still need to be held regularly, for about a month. The material should be given in small volumes to avoid overworking the child. And remember: even 10-15-minute daily sessions give a very good result.

Reading fluency (step by step) .

  1. To work on reading fluency, short stories of 4-6 sentences are selected. Suitable material for this is, for example, in the “Primer” by N. S. Zhukova.
  2. We inform the child of the following goal: “You are well done, you read well. But you're growing up, and so today we're starting to learn to read like adults." The child reads the selected story, and we ask him 2-3 questions about the content of the story. "About what (or what) is written in this story? What is said about him (about them) ? Then we say: “Read the story again, but read a little faster.” We praise the child and ask to read the story again, but a little faster.
  3. As a result, the child read the story 3 times. Undoubtedly, the child himself will like the fact that he already manages to read some words in whole words. After this, the child must be praised and the lesson ends. At this stage, it is very important to observe the following rule: you cannot demand and, moreover, force the child to read in whole words. Over time, the transition from syllabic reading to reading whole words occurs naturally.
  4. We start the next lesson by working on the story from the previous lesson. Remind the child that he read this story very well, almost like adults, in the last lesson and ask him to read it now just as well. After that, praise the child and do not work with this text in this lesson anymore, even if the child did not read it very quickly. Let's move on to the next story. We read it 3 times in the same way as in the previous lesson.
  5. The next lesson is again starting to work on the story from the previous lesson.

Reading children's books.

The purpose of these activities is to instill a love of reading .

Children's books should be colorful and in suitable type. During this period, you can read books without dividing words into syllables. And from time to time we remind the child that we try to read like adults because we grow up.

There are many different techniques and ways to increase interest in reading. One of the most effective ways to achieve this goal is as follows: an adult reads the beginning of some interesting story aloud, (for example, children's stories by Nosov, Suteev and other authors are suitable for this) .
