How to encourage struggling readers

Every child’s reading journey looks different. For some, reading just takes longer to click. 

Keep your child encouraged and promote a love of learning with these tips.

1. Use picture books and visualizing

Even if your child is getting older, picture books will always have their place. Using pictures to improve understanding is a great way to boost your child’s reading confidence.

2. Use audio stories

Books tell amazing stories. From fantasy to nonfiction, there’s so much to learn from a great book. Play audiobooks as your child learns to read, to keep them interested in everything books have to offer.

3. Track student progress

It’s too easy to miss the steps your child has made towards reading if they’re struggling and behind their peers. Take some time to celebrate their progress as they figure it all out.  

4. Practice reading aloud

Many kids get nervous reading out loud to others. Encourage your child to practice with you to improve their reading skills. And continue reading out loud to your child to help them gain confidence.

5. Use quizzes and make them fun

If your child is struggling with reading comprehension, find out what’s not sticking with fun, trivia-style quizzes. 

Have prizes ready (ice cream is always a hit), celebrate correct answers with dance parties, and learn together as your child increases their comprehension skills.

6. Encourage kids to teach others

If you have pre-k kids in your home, or friends with younger children, get together for a child-led story time. 

Reluctant and struggling readers sometimes need a reminder of how far they’ve come. Suggest acting out the story as they go, to keep everyone active and increase comprehension.

7. Use questions and answers

Read together to help their reading stick, stopping often to review story highlights. 

Ask questions like, “how do you think this character is feeling?” or “what do you think will happen next?” to avoid them shutting down or just repeating back the words on the page.   

Use educational games to improve reading skills

Technology is a huge part of today’s educational landscape. Children are learning more online than ever before, and multi-sensory, interactive resources are perfect for learners of all types.

"Modern programs of literary reading", presentation at the regional seminar "Formation of universal educational activities in the context of the implementation of various educational programs" on the basis of the Nizhnekamsk branch of the Institute of Economics and Technology (Kazan).

Modern literary reading programs

literary reading as a subject in the lower grades, precedes the initial course of literature in the main school, which continues in the senior classes, built on the historical and literary basis.

Analysis modern numerous programs on literary reading for grades 1-4, and also school practice allows us to name a number of specific features literary reading in elementary school, which, on the one hand, make it the first step in the lifelong literary education of a schoolchild, and on the other hand, allow solving traditional elementary school educational tasks.

Selection of educational material, i.e. texts, intended for reading in primary grades, must be carried out with considering them aesthetic value. Suggested for reading works of art, time-tested, included in the treasury Russian and foreign literature, works of classical children's literature and works from the traditional circle of children's reading. Language tools, which used in readable works should not overshadow the child content, i.e. form work must be available to kid.

Support on the child's personal experience.

Reading process is associative in nature, therefore the depth of perception of artistic works depends on the reader's and everyday experience of the individual.

Apprentice primary school does not have rich experience. Therefore, working on work it is necessary to help the child artistically rethink it.

Not allowed lose sight of the child's reading experience. In preschool they beat listeners of works of art: adults read them fairy tales, fables; children know many works of children's poetry by heart; they know such names like K. Chukovsky, S. Marshak.

Such works should first of all be read and analyzed in the classroom literary reading. Meeting this requirement will help overcoming the barrier between the teaching and the life of the child, the teaching will be perceived them as a necessary and interesting part of his personal life.

Enriching the child's personal experience.

Certainly the entire system of primary education is aimed at the development of the child and the enrichment his personal experience. Literary reading refers to the extension reading outlook of children and enriching children with impressions from reading works.

Analysis artwork in class literary reading can be carried out for different purposes and at different depths revealing the meaning of the text. It is necessary to teach the child to think about the work "from text to meaning”, i.e. conduct textual analysis.

Creative activities of children in the education system. Creative tasks traditionally used in elementary school reading lessons. Children should be offered two types of jobs:

• in the footsteps reading: expressive reading; graphic and verbal drawing; role reading; various types of dramatization; selection of musical excerpts, corresponding to the mood of a literary work;
• creation own works (work from the position of the author).

The result of this learning is the children's understanding of the word as the main means of creating an image in literature, mastering at the practical level the necessary literary concepts.

Learning variability.

Modernization modern school involves the free activity of subjects of learning in learning space. The teacher gets the opportunity to choose systems training and textbooks. And students get the opportunity to in certain educational situations to choose:

- tasks that perform;

- texts that read;

- poems that learn by heart, etc.

This system of work activates the cognitive activity of children, allows you to take into account the level reading maturity of each child.

B Currently, there are many systems of textbooks or educational and methodological complexes (programs):

- "School of Russia"
- "Perspective"
- "School 2100"
- "Primary School XXI century"
- "Harmony"
- "Perspective initial school"
- "Planet of Knowledge"
- "Initial innovation school"
- L. V. Zankov's system
- D.B. Elkonin-V.V. Davydov system
- "School 2000..." (open UMK)

A feature of the listed programs is that they include teaching kits in several or all subjects of primary general education (for example, Russian language, mathematics, literary reading and the world around, etc.). Each program or system has its own goals, tasks, principles and features, which can be found in detail in explanatory notes

In the Federal list of textbooks recommended Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation for use in educational process in educational institutions, for the 2011/2012 academic year (Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation No. 2080 dated December 24, 2010 d.) in the section "Textbooks, the content of which corresponds to the federal state educational standard of primary general education" four systems of textbooks have been identified:
- Primary School XXI century"

- "Perspective"

- "School of Russia"

- "School 2100"

These systems (educational and methodological complexes - EMC) include completed subject lines of textbooks already in all primary subjects general education : Russian language, literary reading, mathematics, computer science, the world around us, technology, music, visual arts, physical education, foreign language (English, German, French, Spanish), the foundations of the spiritual and moral culture of the peoples of Russia (grades 4-5).
According to the program "Perspective" authors textbooks on literary reading are L. F. Klimanov, M. V. Boykina.

By program "Primary school XXI century" the authors are Efrosinina L.A., Omorokova M.I.

According to the program "School of Russia" - authors Klimanova L.F., Goretsky V.G., Golovanova M.V. etc.

By program "School 2100" Authors: Buneev R.N., Buneeva E.V

Each of these programs contains the above-described specific features of the literary reading in elementary school. I work under the School 2100 program and therefore I wanted to I would like to reveal a little the features of literary reading textbooks on this program.

General characteristics of the subject

According to EMC "School 2100 " for literary reading are used: textbooks "Literary reading" (1st grade - "Droplets of the sun"; 2nd grade - "Little the door to the big world”, in 2 hours; 3rd grade - "In one happy childhood", in 2 hours; 4th grade - "In the ocean of light", in 2 hours), as well as methodological recommendations for the teacher and "Notebooks on literary reading" for students.

The program is based on the traditional thematic principle of grouping material, however, in the implementation this principle has its own characteristics. All textbooks are combined internally logic. Its essence is as follows.

First grader learns about himself and the world around: people, their relationships, nature; assimilates the norms of attitude to this world and behavior, action in it - through poems and short stories by modern children's writers. Children in 1st grade read about toys and games, friends, parents and children, animals and nature, learn that a person can make interesting discoveries if he learns peer into the world around him.

In 2nd grade the world that children discover expands. Reading works folklore of the peoples of Russia and the world (fairy tales, epics, riddles, songs, proverbs and sayings) and author's fairy tales, second-graders, as it were, go into a "single spiritual space” and learn that the world is great and diverse and at the same time one.

In the 3rd grade children who are already familiar with two sources of reading - folklore and modern children's literature, discover the world of literature in all its diversity and read works of children's and accessible "adult" literature different genres: short stories, novellas (in excerpts), fairy tales, lyrical and plot poems, a poem, a fairy tale play. Here they find their realization principle genre diversity and the principle of the optimal ratio of works of children's literature and texts included in the circle of children's reading from literature "adult" .

In the 4th grade children get a holistic view of the history of Russian children's literature, about writers and their heroes, about themes and genres. Textbook "In the ocean of light" - This is a course of Russian children's literature of the XVII-XXI centuries. for literary reading lessons. The texts are arranged in chronological order so that the children there was an initial idea of ​​the history of literature as a process, about connection of the content of the work with the time of its writing, with the personality of the author and his life, about the relationship between the concrete historical and the universal. The content of the textbook "In the ocean of light", the system of questions and tasks allow repeat and systematize what was read in grades 1–4, compose understanding of the diversity of the writers' work.

Interest in The very process of reading is closely related to its motivation. How to do reading motivated? In textbooks, this is achieved with the help of "cross-cutting" characters and building a system of literary reading lessons in the form heuristic conversation.

In the 1st grade first graders Katya and Vova and their friend Petya become the heroes of the textbook Zaitsev. Petya is the youngest in the class, and his friends help him: explain, answer to his questions, that is, they take the "position of the teacher", which is the best way to understand the subject of explanation.

In the 2nd grade "through heroes" of the textbook - second-grader Sasha and a fairy-tale little man Athanasius. Athanasius is a connoisseur and lover of books, he and Sasha travel to fairy tales; Sasha asks Athanasius questions, and he answers or helps to find the answer, tells, reads funny poems, songs and counting rhymes, makes riddles. Thus, the system of literary reading lessons in the 2nd grade is travel game.

In the 3rd grade the sequence of texts and the topics in which they are combined are associated with the life of "through characters" - third-grader Nastya and her parents. Nastya together with dad reads a textbook, reflects, asks questions. And together with Nastya students read and think.

In the textbook 4th grade form of presentation of texts - dialogues of constantly acting characters - professor-literary critic Nikolai Alexandrovich Rozhdestvensky and fourth-grader twins Igor and Oli. With the help of a modern time machine, they travel through the pages of history Russian children's literature, see not only the realities of the past, but also living writers, talk to them, ask questions. The textbook contains an extensive additional material: biographical information about writers, memoirs contemporaries, excerpts from letters and diaries.

The program includes and organization of independent home reading children, and lessons extracurricular reading , the main difference of which is that on In these lessons, children do not work with a textbook reader, but with a children's book. The main feature of the extracurricular reading system is that children read "within textbooks", that is, other stories or poems of the authors of this section, other chapters from the story that are not included in this section, and etc. This is how principle of holistic perception of artistic works . Extracurricular reading lessons are held after graduation work on each section. Selection of works and topics of these lessons - teacher's individual case. An example is provided at the end of each tutorial. a list of books for independent reading that can be used in the classroom extracurricular reading.

For learning by heart all poems included in textbooks are recommended, as well as small ones (from 3–4 to 7–8 sentences) excerpts of prose of the choice of the teacher. If the number and volume of poems for memorization will seem to the teacher too large, children can learn one of 2-3 poems on their own choice.

Literary reading lessons the leading one is technology of forming the type of the correct reader activities (productive reading technology) , providing formation of reading competence of junior schoolchildren.

The technology includes three stages of working with text.

Stage I. Work with text before reading.

1. Anticipation (anticipation, prediction of upcoming reading).
   Determining the semantic, thematic, emotional orientation of the text, selection of its heroes by the title of the work, the name of the author, the key words, illustrations preceding the text based on the reader's experience.
2. Setting goals of the lesson, taking into account the general (educational, motivational, emotional, psychological) readiness of students to work.

Stage II. Work with text while reading.

2. Rereading text. Slow "thoughtful" repeated reading (of the whole text or its separate fragments). Text analysis (techniques: dialogue with the author through the text, commented reading, conversation on what was read, highlighting keywords, etc. ).
   Statement of a clarifying question for each semantic part.
3. Chat on content in general.

Stage III. Work with the text after reading.

1. Concept (semantic) conversation on the text. Collective reading discussion, discussion. Correlation of reader's interpretations (interpretations, evaluations) works with the author's position. Identification and formulation of the main idea of ​​the text or the totality of its main meanings.
2. Introduction to writer . Story about a writer. Personality Conversation writer. Working with textbook materials, additional sources.
3. Working with title, illustrations . Discussion of meaning titles. Referring students to ready-made illustrations. Correlation of vision an artist with a reader's view.

A draft law on the introduction of unified general education programs in schools was adopted

The deputies adopted in the first reading the amendments to the Federal Law "On Education in the Russian Federation". Its authors were a group of deputies and senators of the Russian Federation.

The bill proposes to introduce federal basic general education programs (FOOP) uniform for the whole country "as a mandatory basic level of requirements for the content of general education."

For elementary schools, the document proposes to approve unified basic programs in the Russian language, reading and the outside world. Average required for applications in the event of the final adoption of the law will be programs in the Russian language and literature, history, social science, geography and life safety.

The bill also introduces a mandatory federal work program for education and a federal calendar plan for educational work.

The Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation will develop and approve the FOOP. According to the draft amendments, the MEP must be approved by March 1, 2023, and schools must switch to their implementation by September 1, 2023. At the same time, the bill retains the right for schools to develop their own educational programs, but their content and planned results “should not be lower than the corresponding content and planned results of federal basic general education programs,” the authors of the initiative point out.

In addition, for the implementation of unified educational programs, it is proposed to establish a new procedure for the development of textbooks. Thus, the state order for the development of textbooks and teaching aids will be carried out by the Ministry of Education. The department will also approve the authors of textbooks, and the exclusive rights to them will belong to the Russian Federation.
