Teaching preschoolers to read
The "Teaching preschoolers to read" section introduces letters to children aged 5-6 and allows them to learn how to put them into words. Forming a list of tasks, the specialists of the Razumeikin development site used traditional methods of presenting material. However, some methodological techniques are copyrighted.
Please note that when we learn consonants in the online activities for 5 year olds, we call them without a vowel overtone.
For example, not [be], but [b], not [ef], but [f], etc. This approach will allow the baby to facilitate the process of establishing the relationship between sounds and letters. And their names the child will be able to learn, getting acquainted with the alphabet.
In order for the process of learning letters in the form of a game for children aged 5 to be easy, it is advisable to use the maximum number of analyzers. The specialists of the Razumeikin development site tried to take this nuance into account when compiling a list of exercises. When completing online tasks in the “Teaching Preschoolers to Read” section, the child hears the sound corresponding to the letter, sees it in whole and in parts, creates it from wire, lace or plasticine, draws it with a finger. You can design letters from any materials at hand. It can be pebbles, matches, sticks, etc. Such exercises help kids learn letters while playing.
Very useful and effective are games with "rough" letters. They can be cut out of sandpaper or sheet with a velvet surface.
At first, you can invite the baby to swipe the letter with his finger. This will help him understand how it is written and remember the direction of the hand movement. Then invite the child to recognize this letter among several others. In this case, the baby's eyes should be closed.
When creating exercises for preschoolers, our specialists tried to make them not only understandable and fun, but also really useful. Consistently passing online classes from this section, the child learns to read. At first, we learn to read simple and short words in syllables, then gradually the tasks become more difficult. By the end of the lesson, the child will be able to read and, most importantly, understand texts of several sentences.
A few words about the submission of material
In order to make learning to read children aged 5 easy and productive, the specialists of the Razumeikin development site have prepared special thematic pictures and voiced text for each task.
Some exercises also involve the motor area. All developmental tasks in the block "Reading for children 5-6 years old" can be completed online by preschoolers.
How are results evaluated?
For the correct performance of tasks-games in the section "Teaching preschoolers to read" there is a whole system of rewards. We are sure that in this way it is possible to increase the interest of preschoolers in learning and form positive motivation.
By completing tasks in the form of an educational game in the section "Reading and letters for children 6 years old", the kids receive a reward. For their achievements, they can be awarded medals, cups, pennants and certificates.
Most of the activities in the Reading for 5-6 year olds section are graded based on the child's attempt at giving the correct answer. If necessary, it is possible to return to any exercise done. By completing the task in the section “Reading for children 6 years old” again, the child will be able to improve the previous result.
