Homework for 5 year olds

On Radio Komsomolskaya Pravda (fm.kp.ru) in the Parent Question program, we discussed with listeners and experts how to save a schoolchild from many hours of evening vigils problem book? But so that he does not get a deuce later. There are several options.

1. Distribute homework evenly over the days of the week

Very rarely (in fact, almost never) teachers do not coordinate the amount of homework with each other. Each of them has a task - to pass the subject. Therefore, it often happens - in one day, mathematics, physics, geography fall on the head of an unfortunate schoolchild: several serious examples and several paragraphs for reading ... Parents can calculate the load for the evening by opening the child's electronic diary (if there is no electronic diary yet - paper ). What to do? On freer days, ask the child to do part of the task for the next day. nine0003

Important to know

How to choose a school backpack that will not harm your child's posture

Posture should be protected from an early age. However, textbooks weigh a lot - and the health of the student's spine largely depends on the choice of the right school backpack. KP compiled a list of the best models of school backpacks

2. Help with homework

There are child psychologists who believe that parents should not help children with homework. Like, let them plow themselves. Yeah, you yourself, having come home from work, relax, buried in a TV or a smartphone...

In general, there will be nothing to worry about if you help your child do some tasks (or even do it for him, explaining what and how you are doing). Especially when you see that the student is sewn up, rubs his eyes and catches a crow over the table.

3. Keep track of the schedule of studies and rest

Have you ever tried to sit for three hours on some kind of work? Hardly. It will definitely come to mind to go out for a smoke or drink coffee. A child in primary and secondary school physiologically cannot work more than 15 - 20 minutes in a row. Therefore, do not be touched when your baby sits at his desk for hours. Most likely, the child does nothing. Or does it so slowly that it would be better not to do it at all. nine0004

It is not necessary to immediately drag your student to some section, to a circle, for additional classes with a tutor after the lessons. And then in the evening to demand homework.

The student needs to switch, to rest. After dinner, it would be nice to take a walk (I know that modern children rarely walk, and in the yards of the company, to play and make a fuss, they gather with great difficulty). Well, at least let him switch, he will roll the fool at home. You can also sit at a computer-smartphone, play, watch cartoons. But to agree that such entertainment will not drag on for two hours - 20 - 30 minutes is enough. nine0004

And be sure to take breaks while doing homework: 15 - 20 minutes of work - 10 - 15 minutes break.

Remember, sitting in elementary school for more than an hour and a half on homework is useless (see "How much time should a child spend on assignments?") .

Student workload

Many parents would agree that the workload for schoolchildren can be prohibitive. "Komsomolskaya Pravda" studied the sanitary standards and offers to check your child

Exercises to relax the child


- says Alena Minina, an expert at the Center for the Development of Intellect. - If right-handed - left, if left-handed - right. We have the right half of the brain responsible for the left hand and vice versa. Thus, a switch occurs: that half of the brain that was involved in doing homework is unloaded. And the child relaxes. What at this time he will write and draw does not matter. nine0004

Another option is to juggle with your fingers with a pen or pencil, passing it all over your hand - this is how craftsmen roll a coin. Fine motor skills are activated, the brain is resting.


How much time should a child spend on tasks?




From the sanitary and epidemiological requirements for the conditions and organization of training in educational institutions (2013 edition):

“Item 10.30. The volume of homework (for all subjects) should be such that the time spent on its completion does not exceed (in astronomical hours): in grades 2-3 - 1.5 hours, in grades 4-5 - 2 hours, in the 6th - 8th grades - 2. 5 hours, at 9- 11th grade - up to 3.5 hours.


Or maybe no homework at all?




In some countries, almost no homework assignments are given - for example, in Israel (but in primary and secondary schools). There is a legend that in Spain, Italy, Finland, Canada there are no exercises for the evening. This is not true. The volume of tasks can be small - yes. Or they try to do their homework at school after the main lessons. In many countries, children spend a full day in their educational institution - they have lunch, study in circles or sections. Homework consolidates the material covered. And so far, not one of the developed countries has abandoned such a technique - the development of a new topic and its subsequent consolidation. nine0004

We develop attention

Initially, children do not know how to control their attention. They actively respond to everything new and interesting, but can't focus for long on something that doesn't appeal to them. therefore it can be difficult for a first grader to sit through 45 minutes of a lesson without switching to extraneous matters. Games, tasks and exercises to develop attention from LogicLike. nine0004

Task "Find and circle"

Give the child a short text (this could be an article from a children's magazine or a printed fairy tale) and invite him to cross out a certain letter in each line, for example, “A”. How can complicate the task? Ask the preschooler to cross out "A" and circle "B", or mark "A" only when it is preceded by a consonant. nine0004

Mission "Abracadabra"

On a piece of paper, write down a number of complex non-existent words and offer the child without errors copy them in a notebook:

Exercise "Show me"

Name the parts of the body and point to them. And the child must repeat the words and show on himself. Then start to confuse him: say "hand" and point to the leg, etc.

We develop memory

Like attention, the memory of a preschooler only passes from involuntary to controlled: he quickly memorizes verses with bright and interesting images, but learns boring texts with difficulty. nine0004

Tasks and exercises for the development of memory will help the future first grader to better absorb any useful new information.

The task "Chain of words: listen and remember"

Out of ten spoken words, an older preschooler (6-7 years old) is able to remember about seven. Let's check how well your child's memory is developed? nine0004

Chain of words to check: bedroom, vase, tiger, oval, square, rhombus, wolf, fish, winter, hare, house, sun, hedgehog, cloud.

Task "Pairs of words"

Read all pairs of words. Then call only the first and wait for the second in response:
autumn - rain; vase - flowers; doll - dress; nine0003 cup - saucer; book - page; water - fish;
machine - wheel; house - window; hours are arrows.

Good to know. Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky advised teaching a child several techniques that will help him memorize information easier:

- repeat aloud and to himself;
- mentally fix some objects through others, creating associations; nine0003 - to combine objects into groups, highlighting their similarities or differences.

Exercise "Remember and describe"

After a joint walk, remember what interesting things you saw on the street. Perhaps it was a bright sign or a passer-by with a funny dog. Ask the child to describe the object in detail. nine0004

Exercise "Repeat the figure"

Take counting sticks, lay out an intricate figure from them and give the preschooler time to for him to remember. Suggest from memory to depict the same composition of counting sticks.

We develop thinking

Children with developed thinking more easily absorb new knowledge and come up with how to apply. nine0004

When children complete LogicLike's pre-school assignments, they learn to analyze information, establish relationships between objects, divide them into groups, compare and generalize.
