App Store: Learn to Read (full version)
Learn to Read - Save the Animals full version.
Supports learning to read in Russian and Ukrainian. Also, the application has a transition to a version of learning to read in English.
The Evil Snow Queen froze the magic letters of the alphabet and the animals were trapped in ice. And only your smart kid can save them, for which he must learn the letters of the alphabet and make words - the names of animals.
Collecting words from the letters of the alphabet, the child hears the sound of each letter of the alphabet, which allows the child to subconsciously remember the letters and their sound. And after your smart little fellow saves all the animals, a smart kid will have an educational game - a quiz in which a preschooler can consolidate his knowledge of letters and reading skills.
At the end of the quiz, the joyful bunny will dance to the kid in an incendiary dance, stimulating the child to continue the fun preschool reading!
METHODOLOGY
The application uses an effective sound method of teaching reading, similar to the "Zaitsev's cubes" method and the principles of the Montessori method, namely:
WE DO NOT NEED ABC AND PRIMER.
AND WE DON'T NEED TO KNOW THE ALPHABET!
To learn to read, the baby does not need to know the names of the letters. A common phenomenon: a mother bought an alphabet for children or a primer, the child learned the letters, even learned the alphabet, but cannot read. His words don't stick.
The well-known teacher Nikolay Zaitsev claims that the alphabet is harmful for kids! In the alphabet and primer, for each letter of the alphabet, a picture is given: A - stork, B - hippopotamus, etc. When we learn to read the alphabet, the baby will remember both the letter and the picture, but how then to explain to him that the zebra - stork - lizard - heron, flashing in his mind, should form the word "hare"? How to teach a child to read?
Instead, in the application "Learn to read - Save the animals" the child does not learn the alphabetic names of the letters, but their "sound" or sounds, from which the child can easily form a word.
The game has 2 modes of learning to read:
1.
Learn to spell - great for a child to learn letters and understand the basics of reading. It is recommended to start with this learning mode - it is very effective for memorizing letters and learning to read short words.
2. Learning to read by syllables (warehouses) - for children who already know the letters. By "syllables" the method "Zaitsev's cubes" means "warehouses" - i.e. a combination of a consonant and a vowel: for example, ko-ro-va, ko-sh-ka. Learning to read in such short syllables is much easier for a child than in complex "school" syllables. And the easier it is to learn to read, the more effective!
WHAT YOUR BABY WILL LEARN:
• Learn the letters of the Russian alphabet in a fast and fun way
• Develop phonemic awareness by collecting letters and listening to their sound
• Expand your vocabulary with many new words in Russian
• Learn to read by syllables and spell by letter
• Learn lots of new animals
• Reinforce your reading skills with a fun quiz
• We don't teach kids the alphabet, we teach them to read!
• Preschool and pre-school education for children aged 4+ free of charge
The interface of the educational game for children is built in accordance with the principle of the Montessori learning system - "Help me do it myself!".
It is so simple that a kid from 3 years old will figure it out in a minute and will learn the letters of the alphabet with joy and a smile, and his happy parents will be able to take a break!
Learning to read has never been such an informative and interesting activity!
This full version contains all 16 learning levels, arranged in order of increasing word difficulty. If at the first level words consist of 2-3 letters, then at the last level of 7-8 letters.

We bring to your attention short stories with which you can easily teach your child to retell texts.
When selecting texts for retelling, it is necessary to take into account the individual abilities of children. Texts should be accessible to the child in terms of their content and form of presentation, so short stories should be used at the initial stage.
Before reading the story, explain to the child the meaning of difficult words, say them. If the child is not familiar with what will be discussed in the story, then have a short conversation that brings the child to the content of the work.
After reading the short story, ask questions to see if the child understood it. Only then ask them to retell what they have read. At the same time, different types of retelling are used at different stages of teaching retelling:
You retell what you have read and the child inserts a word or sentence.
If the child retells with long pauses, then ask leading questions.
Before you start retelling, you plan the story.
Retelling is organized in turn, when the child starts to retell, you continue, and he finishes.
