Learning should be fun, then learning is easy!
The process of learning to read is the most interesting, but difficult and responsible. If children do not read correctly, fluently, expressively, they will not be able to master literate writing, they will not learn to solve problems. To teach children to read means to prepare them for independent work with the text, to instill a love of reading.
Therefore, mastering reading skills is both a means and one of the conditions for the overall development of children.
The process of reading is very complex, since thinking, speech, perception, memory, imagination, auditory and sound analyzers are involved in it.
Natural question: when to teach a child to read?
Among parents today, discussions about the benefits or harms of early teaching children to read are very frequent.
A child who began to read at an early age certainly has an advantage over his non-reading peers.
The most favorable time for learning to read is the preschool period, when the child's brain grows most intensively. N. Varentsova believes that the most favorable time for learning to read is the age of 4-5 years. Psychologists believe that it is easier for a child to learn to read at the age of 4-5 than at 7-8. They explain this by the fact that a five-year-old child has already mastered speech well, but he is still interested in words and sounds. He willingly experiments with them, easily remembers whole words, and then begins to distinguish letters in them.
It only remains for an adult to give his interest the direction necessary for mastering reading.
In the theory and practice of preschool education, various methods of teaching reading to preschool children have been developed.
Of particular interest, it seems to me, is the method of Academician N.A. Zaitsev, which is based on teaching children to read cubes. If there is an opportunity in acquiring them and making them together with the child, this is already a good start for developing and teaching him.
Preparation for teaching reading to preschool children should include games that promote the acquisition of reading skills. They are aimed at developing memory, attention, thinking and fine motor skills.
Parents in pursuit of glossy manuals and books undeservedly forget about "Primers" and "ABCs".
When compiling the "New ABC", Leo Tolstoy intuitively took into account the psychophysiological characteristics of children. The "reading field" of a novice reader is 4 - 5 letters.
The ABC of Leo Tolstoy contains a lot of interesting and still unexplored. Many verbs in fairy tales are repeated even in cases where they can be replaced by a synonym. Fairy tales are very simple, but this is for us adults.
Since the time of Leo Tolstoy, little has changed in the classical method of teaching reading. She has stood the test of time. So they taught us and our parents, and our grandparents in schools.
If you want to teach your child to read before school, then pay attention and understanding to the advice in order to avoid the sad consequences of illiterate learning.
First tip : Start learning to read only if your oral language is sufficiently developed.
Tip #2 : Don't memorize all the letters of the alphabet with your kids at once.
Advice three : do not name consonants with an overtone of vowels, such as seh or re or er, etc.
Advice four material.
Tip five : have a set of alphabet letters at home.
Tip six : make sure that what is read is accessible to the child.
Seventh tip : the form of education should be a game.
Games with letters, syllables and words.
A) "Tangible letters".
Letters can be made from sticks, shells, pebbles, ribbons, ropes, flowers. Make cookies from letters with your baby. Sculpt a letter from plasticine. You can draw letters with your finger on the rump.
B) “Is matches not a toy for children?”
The sticks can be used to form the letter N. Let the child move one stick to make the letter P, I, E.
C) “Who is faster?”
Lay out blocks or letter cards. Show a word, for example the word CAT and offer to collect this word.
D) Guess the letter.
Print the letter and cover with a piece of paper. Open it by slowly sliding the sheet.
E) “Who lives in a little house?”
Cut out a house with windows and shutters from cardboard.
Letters in windows or syllables are opened by the child himself.
E) Letter memory.
An ordinary deck of cards is sealed with cardboard on one side. Letters on cardboard. There are two cards for each letter.
Shuffle the cards and put them on the back side. Open two cards at a time and put the same ones aside.
G) "Traces".
Trace around the child's foot and cut out the paper. From colored paper, cut out 10-15 traces with large letters.
Write vowels on red paper, consonants on blue paper.
The letters Y, Ch, Щ are best cut out of green paper, because they are always soft.
H) "Catch the sound."
Name the words. If the child hears a given sound, he will clap his hands.
I) "We work as proofreaders."
Give your child a clipping from a magazine or newspaper. Circle the letter you are learning. Find in the text, circle or cross out the letter.
You can cross out the letter O, underline the letter A, draw a house with the letter I.
Together with the children, look at funny letters with arms and legs, and then put them into pairs and groups. The more fun your child has to learn, the sooner he will learn to read.

Do you doubt that the children agree with this? And in vain! Children believe in this statement and will continue to believe until we can convince them otherwise. To prevent this from happening, remember the basic rule: both parents and children should enjoy the learning process, as from the most exciting game. Do not forget that learning is just an exciting game, not work. Knowledge is a reward, not a punishment; pleasure, not routine work; a privilege, not a deprivation of a right. Starting a lesson with a child, first of all, relax and remember that this is a game in which there will be only winners. When a child asks you a question, answer sincerely, authentically, and enthusiastically. In this case, he will quickly come to the conclusion that you know absolutely everything, and will begin to treat you as an inexhaustible source of information. This text is an introductory fragment.
