Beginning Readers: Look! I Can Read This!

By: Reading Rockets

As a parent of a beginning reader, it's important to support your child's reading efforts in a positive way and help them along the reading path. Here's a little information about beginning readers, and a few pointers to keep in mind.

It can be so exciting when a child begins to read! Beginning readers are starting to put it all together, and are often eager to do it by themselves. As a parent, it's important to support their efforts in a positive way and help them along the reading path. Here's a little information about beginning readers, and a few pointers to keep in mind.

A beginning reader:

• can name the letters in the alphabet and can tell you many of the letter sounds
• understands the concept of a "word"
• is beginning to recognize a few words within text or from a list
• is beginning to represent the first and maybe last sound of a word when trying to spell

When reading with a beginning reader:

• Model finger-point reading. That means to follow the words with your finger from left to right as you read them. Your beginning reader will do the same thing for awhile.
• Practice patience! Beginning readers may read slowly. Give your child time to decode the words, and avoid jumping in too quickly.
• Encourage attention to letters and sounds. If your child is stuck on a word, prompt them to look at the first letter of the word and make the letter's sound. Of course, only do this for words that can be sounded out! If the word can't be sounded out, just supply the word for them.
• Talk about the story. When your child is finished with a book, be sure to talk about what happened in the story, and maybe re-read favorite parts.
• Let them know how proud you are! By sharing a book with a child, you're sharing the joys and excitement of reading.

garden: Book. for educators children. kindergarten and parents. nine0003

The book is written in the form of the author's reflection on the role of the mother in family education, cooperation between the family and the kindergarten, and ways to improve the work of preschool institutions. The book makes extensive use of diary entries by L. A. Nikitina.

The book is addressed to kindergarten teachers and parents. It will be of interest to a wide range of readers.

FROM THE AUTHOR

This book is based on my brochure, which was published by the Znanie publishing house six years ago, in 1983. It was called “I am learning to be a mother” and was imbued with one idea: without a mother, without a family, a child cannot grow up as a full-fledged person. As before, and now I am skeptical about public preschool education. When asked why I didn’t send my children to kindergarten, I usually answered something like: “I’m their mother, not their stepmother!” Even now I cannot imagine how it is possible to leave a child for the whole day in the wrong hands, in the wrong walls: after all, this means inevitably alienating him from himself, making him incomprehensible and incomprehensible - a stranger. nine0003

This idea remains central to this book. Since then, however, so many events have taken place in our society, so many illusions had to be shed, that one involuntarily begins to take a more sober attitude towards many realities of life. Having become a grandmother and taking a closer look at the difficulties of a modern young (even prosperous!) family, I gradually came to a conclusion that would have terrified me ten years ago: modern parents, and especially modern mothers, cannot do without a kindergarten. But only without another kindergarten! nine0003

Why I can't do without, what kind of "other" and how, without ceasing to be a skeptic, I become a supporter of kindergarten, I will tell in the final part of the book.

WHAT A MOTHER IS NEEDED!

"WHY CHILDREN NEED A MOTHER!"

I read any book or brochure for beginner mothers and never cease to be amazed at how much attention is paid to the mother's service work! Everything is scheduled by the minute, and the recommendations are mostly categorical: be sure to boil, be sure to wash, wipe, air, feed, bathe, etc., etc. It takes all the time, not only mothers, but also all the adults around the child. No time to think, observe; communication with the baby is primitive and monotonous, as, indeed, recommendations in this regard. But the worst thing is that children grow up, and motherly work often still comes down to serving their children, to providing them with all the blessings of life without fail - up to a career and a successful marriage. And parental joy lies in the pleasure of seeing your child well-groomed, fed, dressed and “advanced” better than “others”. What a lot of time and effort goes into this! And what an unenviable result is obtained ...

I once received a letter: “Perhaps you are even somewhat involved in the fact that I have a fourth baby ... When I was carrying a second one, every passer-by considered it his duty to warn and explain that this was a huge stupidity. And here is the fourth one. The fact is that back in my school years I saw a TV movie about your family ... I was very envious of your children. I decided then: when I have children, let them be many. Then each of them will have a friend for any game, any business. And we won't be bored...

But everything turned out to be wrong. It turned out that the main thing is to make them eat, learn how to cook, restore and maintain order, put them to bed (from one to four hours is spent on this in the evenings!) ... When free time suddenly appears, it is not clear what to do with it ... I don’t understand children , I can’t get into spiritual contact with them, I don’t know what and how to talk to them about ... ”Here is grief:“ I don’t understand children ”! And all because the main thing has become: to make you eat, put things in order, put to bed ...

Let's say that mothers will be given fabulous benefits: for example, they will work half a day with a full salary, and staff will be increased in kindergartens, material well-being will increase - all this is feasible, it seems that we are moving towards this. But the question is: how will these freed up funds and time be used? Will they be given to children? If so, how, what will they be used for? Won't this addition of time and money translate into more diligent maintenance and nothing more? This is scary, because both children and mothers themselves need something completely, completely different in life. I’ll talk about mothers later, but how do I know what children expect from us? Yes, from them. nine0003

Read the “prayer” our thirteen-year-old daughter composed when I got sick. I do not quote all of it - it is jokingly parody and relates to my personal qualities. Here is a passage that struck me with the seriousness and depth of thoughts contained in it:

“Lord! God! God!

Bring back the health of mothers of mothers and fathers of the future...

Be merciful! Bring back the health of the mother who knows all the languages ​​of the world, for she knows the language of childhood!”

My daughter flattered me: I was still only trying to comprehend the language of childhood, but she kind of told me that this is the most important thing in a mother. And three years later, I asked her to answer the question that tormented me myself: “Why do children need a mother?” Do you think it's easy to answer? Try it. I answer it all my life. nine0003

I wanted to look at the problem from a "childish" side.

I received from my daughter several sheets of paper with writing on them, in which I unexpectedly discovered a lot of interesting and instructive things for us adults. I reproduce the notes in full, without changing their concise style. Along the way, I will express my thoughts: it is simply impossible to resist from this!

So: “Why do children need a mother? Indeed, why? And looking like a mom! (Hereinafter, the underlining of the author of the notes follows.) Every person (regardless of age) should know that there is a being who loves him and accepts him as he is. This acceptance as he is is the most important thing in a mother. nine0003

The main thing (twice said and underlined!), it turns out, is not all love, but love-understanding, insight into the essence, trust, that is, accepted! originality and originality of a growing person - without subordination to the intentions of an adult.

"A mother who says, 'I don't want to talk to you,' pushing away her child, kills her son or daughter in him, the mother in herself.

The most important duty of a mother is to understand. A mother who does not understand her child is a tragedy. It must be (apparently) in early childhood the mother for the child is salvation, the protector, the mother is the consolation. In the older one: mother is an adviser, mentor, mother is a consolation. In maturity: mother-friend, mother-consolation. There must be a person who can cry on his chest at the age of five and at fifty. nine0003

Note: a mother is not a judge who determines what is good and what is bad, and an example to follow, that is, not some kind of life standard—it turns out that this is not what children expect from us! I confess that at first I was very embarrassed: I was always convinced that the moral influence of a mother on a child depends mainly on her own moral character and her assessments that orient the child in the world around her. But here this is not even mentioned. The child does not demand from the mother either special perfection, or any kind of superiority over others.
