Learn to Read

"Multimedia can be very beneficial for young children. For example, research shows that children who see a story's action animated are more likely to remember it," says early reading expert Susan B. Neuman, a professor of education at the University of Michigan. “Plus, computer programs enable children to hear a story repeated many times until they master its language. But there's no substitute for a parent reading to a child. Parents can mediate the process, and help a child connect their book to their own lives. This is critical to the learning process."

How to Shop Smart
To help make sense of the many "learn to read" CDs, Web sites, and toys available, ask yourself these questions:

  • Is the program age-appropriate? (Is the font size suitable for your child? Is there too much text on each screen? Is the vocabulary level suitable?) 
  • Does the program encourage a sense of discovery? Does it allow your child to solve problems and make his own decisions?
  • Does the program offer "intelligent" feedback? (When a child makes a mistake, how does the program respond?)
  • Is the educational content presented systematically? (Does it build sequentially? Are there opportunities for children to demonstrate what they know days and even weeks after the initial "lesson"?)
  • Does the program keep track of your child's progress?
  • Might the program inspire your child to learn to read in other contexts? (What opportunities are there for connecting with physical books at home and in school?)
  • How easily can your child control the features by himself? Are the audio instructions and feedback clear?
  • Does the program include information for parents that clearly outlines the educational goals?

Every Child Is Different
Whether you are purchasing software, borrowing DVDs from the library, or visiting online learning sites, remember some basic notions about literacy education. First, every child will learn to read at her own pace. No two children become "literate" quite the same way. So multiple approaches, including technology, are useful. Scholastic's ClickSmart Reading, for example, uses animated adventures to motivate your child as she reads online storybooks and practices phonics, word recognition, and other early literacy skills. Don't miss Scholastic's apps for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad to help promote literacy at home.

Second, learning to read is a very gradual process. There is no panacea that will make your child learn to read overnight. As long as he is presented with a variety of approaches, and receives support from you, he will most likely learn to read with skill and relative ease.

Finally, while the latest technology might seem essential, keep in mind that children learned to read long before there were computers or DVD players. There is nothing as powerful as having your child sit on your lap as you take him through one of your favorite stories. If he can't wait to turn the page, then he is headed in the right direction.

9 books that will teach you to read

Early learning to read, as well as the desire to engage in early development with a child, is a trend of recent years. The Clever publishing house recommends which books should be used for activities with the baby, in order not only to teach him to recognize letters and put words out of them, but also to instill a true love of reading.

Primer. Learning to read from 2-3 years old

At what age is it time to learn letters with a baby? Our authors, teachers with experience, Olga Uzorova and Elena Nefedova, believe that you can start from the age of two! Early? Boring? In no case! Kids love letters and games with them. Here, for example, is the letter "Z", which buzzes like a fly, and here is the letter "R", it roars like a lion. And kids are also delighted that syllables and words can be added from letters.

The tasks in the book are selected so that children of 2-3 years old do not get bored with its pages, but get acquainted with new things with interest, playing and joking. This will be very useful for them in the future: knowing all the letters, it is much easier to study with "adult" primers.

Notebook-Primer. Learning to read and write from 2-3 years old

This notebook is the perfect match for the Primer. There are no difficult lessons and boring activities in it.

The new edition is based on the effective method of teaching reading and writing by Olga Uzorova and Elena Nefedova. The main idea of ​​the technique is to captivate and interest the child, which means that you will not be bored. To help parents as much as possible, we put detailed instructions at the beginning of the notebook on how to properly practice it with the baby.

Information is presented in a playful way, with vivid example pictures. Now every new lesson is a game, not just learning to read. Study from a notebook and consolidate your knowledge with a split cash register of letters. With it, you can learn not only to read, but also to write small words and even mini-sentences!

Tosya-Bosya plays with letters

Tosya-Bosya does not sit still, she is always drawn to something new and interesting. In the new book, the cheerful fidget will not only play and be naughty, she will learn letters. And your child will get acquainted with the alphabet with her in a simple and exciting way.

Toshi-Boshi has prepared a lot of tasks for you: learn the word and add the first letters of the names of objects, complete the letters in one of the halves, color the pictures, cross out the extra letters in the words and collect the correct words from the jumbled letters.

We have also prepared many interesting facts. From the book, together with Tosei-Bosei, you can learn about ancient types of writing, about complex symbols and hieroglyphs that were used to replace long words. And if you still can’t write ordinary letters, you can try to come up with your own hieroglyphs with your child.

Vinnie and his friends. Learning the alphabet

Notebook-notebook with a game alphabet for children from 3 to 6 years old with a favorite friend of many children - Winnie the bear and his company.

All the letters of the alphabet are gathered on its pages. Each letter is accompanied by a small rhyme in which it is played out, and an interesting task associated with the rhyme. Draw portraits of Winnie's friends, get out of labyrinths, water vegetables and collect honey while memorizing the letters of the alphabet. An excellent choice for those mothers who seek to distract the child from the TV screen or want to keep the child on the road with maximum benefit.

Animal alphabet. Notebook with games and tasks

Velcro notepad is a win-win move to draw the attention of the little fidget to learning the letters of the native alphabet. Children love Velcro, especially if there is something interesting behind them!

In this notebook, we have collected 150 creative tasks, by completing which the child will develop fine motor skills, memory, attention, coordination, and also learn how to hold a pencil in his hand correctly. After all, without help, the spider will not get into the forest, the fish will be left without shadows, and the elk will wander around the maze! How can you not help here? And the animals, in gratitude for this, will show the fidget all the letters, teach them how to write them and even solve puzzles.

In the country of letters. 200 game tasks

Psychologists and teachers say that children learn best in the game. And it is much more pleasant for parents to play with children than to arrange boring reading and writing classes.

Go to the land of letters with the book by Svetlana Voskresenskaya. Under the cover you will find 200 different tasks for the initial learning to read and write. Learn new letters, look for them in words, make up funny stories from pictures, write and draw hooks and squiggles!

Each spread of the book consists of several tasks for a certain letter. Moving from simple to complex, your child will learn to read first, and then to write in block letters and even syllables. And those parents who like to carefully study various methods will find detailed instructions for classes at the beginning of the book.

I am learning letters. Alphabet-recognition

Alphabet-recognition is a handy box with 32 magic cards and detailed instructions for parents. To start a fun game, you just need to get them all and select the one you need.

Each card will introduce the kid to one of the letters of the Russian alphabet, tell you what words this letter can be found in and teach you how to write it correctly. By the way, you can write directly on the cards: they are reusable, you only need an erasable felt-tip pen.

I am learning to read. Learn the word!

Another beautiful box on a string, in which 32 task cards were hidden. They will introduce the kid to the letters and help him learn to read.

To memorize each letter well, you must first learn how to find it. Found? Now you can read short words. And two-syllable words. And then out of three! That's how we learned to read. And besides the correct words, the cards hide "incorrect" ones, which must be found and underlined. You can underline and draw directly on the cards: they are reusable, as in the ABC-Knowing, and very convenient.

I am learning to write. Logical recipes

And again the box, but this time more complex. It is perfect for those mothers and children who have already got acquainted with the letters and want to learn how to write them. On 32 cards, the kid will have to draw lines, squiggles and various elements of letters, and then the letters themselves. Sometimes you have to count for this, for example, to draw as many large letters F as there are scarves in the picture, and as many small letters F as there are shoes in the picture.

You can write, draw and hatch in "Logical Recipes" on the cards themselves, because they are reusable.

How to teach your child to read and love books

Liana Khaziakhmetova

Children's Reading Marathon was held in the social networks MIF.Childhood and MIF.Comics. Using the hashtag #mythreading_books, we published selections of books that are suitable for the first independent reading, and under the hashtag #mythreading_advice — life hacks and tips from our experts. The marathon covered all the main stages in the development of this skill - from the first acquaintance with a book to independent reading with pleasure. We collected in this material all the most interesting things that happened at the Marathon.

On a special page, we made a selection of books for children and their parents, which will help them learn to read, understand and love books. Here you will find publications suitable for reading aloud to kids, for self-acquaintance with books, with beautiful pictures, artistic ones - in general, for every taste!

As part of the Marathon, we had a live with a child psychologist and Gestalt therapist Irina Karneeva. We discussed all the pressing issues: how and at what age to read books to children? How to pick them up? How, when and where to start teaching a child: reading by syllables, reading together with words and sentences? And much more.

Irina advises choosing books that are not only interesting in content, but also beautiful - high-quality publications with illustrations. Also, do not limit yourself to fiction. The child may react negatively to the request to read, but at the same time he will be happy to pick up an activity book, such as "Detective Pierre unravels the case."

Non-fiction publications can become a bridge to reading. The child will understand that books are fun, he will be drawn into the process and it will be easier to take on literature that has more text than illustrations.

How to spark interest in reading

Children's reading expert and mother of four, Maria Bogdanova, gives tips on how to spark interest in reading. Mary's word.

My oldest readers are 10 and 13 years old. Read daily and a lot. Our library contains more than 520 books of children's literature, and each book was read by the eldest daughter at least once. ⠀

“HAAAAK do you succeed?” - Moms of classmates constantly ask.

There are a number of measures and life hacks. I'll tell you a little and show on the example of comics from the MIF publishing house. ⠀

Reading is a skill, it is a habit. Like any habit, it takes time to develop. That is why, if your child does not really like to read, I suggest starting to awaken interest in books through comics.

Comics are modern.⠀

Comics are fashionable. ⠀

Comics are bright and interesting.


Hildafolk comics

95% of children will be happy to pick up comics and read them because they love books with good pictures and exciting stories. And here the main thing is to have time to bring new books.⠀

By reading every day, a child gets used to spending time with a book. Gradually, you will begin to give other literature to expand his horizons.

First independent reading

As part of the Marathon, we had a live broadcast with Evgenia Ershova, we talked about the very initial stages of independent reading - learning letters, folding syllables, the first reading by syllables. And this is what Evgenia advises:

“The first word read in syllables brings great joy to the child. It goes to a qualitatively new level. But do not rush, do not push the child to read a lot, too complicated words and large texts. Give him the opportunity to feel this joy, to realize his own strengths. How? Shop signs, grocery lists, names of toys and even sweets to help you.

There are games that are not related to reading, but at the same time help to read better and better. Think of a word, say it, but rearrange the syllables "sha-ka". The child will rearrange the syllables and solve the confusion. Words of three syllables will be more difficult to guess, but more interesting than "ne-um-tsa"! Learning to read can be fun and easy by playing and fooling around. Everything is within your power."

You can also learn to read in a playful way with the help of books. Author Tatiana Russita creates wonderful first reading sets. Each set contains 8 books. You can start with books where there are only short words (“Whose side?”, “But on my own!”), Then move on to polysyllabic words (“Cat Sock”). Large print, funny illustrations - and the child will read with pleasure!

How to help a child “pay off”

Of course, our Marathon could not have passed without Yulia Kuznetsova, the author of Calculating and Bite-Tales. Yulia shared a whole selection of life hacks on how to help a child “pay off”.


One Bite Tales

How to choose a book for independent reading, that's what Julia advises us.

  • The book must be of high quality, that is, well done! Illustrations, text, polygraphy.
  • The book must have large print.
  • The volume of the text is about 1/4, and the rest is pictures (which are also important!).
  • The book must be funny!
  • Offer different books for independent reading - different topics, characters, plots (both fantasy and realistic).
  • There must be an intrigue in the book to make it interesting to read until the very end!
  • A deep life idea that can be discussed with a child.
