This is such a great program. I used this several years ago, as I took my oldest out of elementary to homeschool mid term for health reasons. This was so great because even starting at the beginning. She didn’t loose a thing, but had time to grasp it all. Very well thought out and fun for her. Thanks so much, I’ve noticed it has only gotten better as the years have passed.

Why Use Kiz Phonics?

Deliver the joy of learning to read by using the Kiz Phonics curriculum and phonics activities. Phonics is a method of teaching children to read by combining letters to form sounds. As such, preschoolers usually begin with print awareness using the 26 letters of the alphabet. These letters can be combined to form sounds called phonemes. In a synthetic phonics approach, kids blend sounds to read full words. Reading comprehension is not an immediate priority at the early phases. Phonics teaches kids to read unfamiliar words. It is a more effective method for learning to read compared to word recognition. As learners are different, you need a varied set of resources to teach phonics – phonics worksheets, phonics games, phonics flashcards, listening materials, word families activities, phonics short stories, phonics lesson videos, and PowerPoint – we got you covered!

Teaching kids to read is not solely the job of the classroom teacher. Parents, both native and non-native English speakers, can follow our guidelines and phonics activities to bring kids from zero to hero in reading. It is an absolute joy to watch your child begin the baby steps of combining letters and sounds to read unfamiliar words. Sign up today and make full use of the most effective activities designed to teach your child to read through phonics.

Primary reading education. Onomatopoeia

Material Information
Parents

Primary reading instruction is sound imitation, the first phonetic lessons. It is onomatopoeia for children that is of paramount importance in order to quickly learn to read.

Children learn many things, including reading, through play, but these days reading skills are taught through a system. This is done from the very first days in kindergarten until the first years of elementary school. For parents, figuring out how to best support their child in the early stages of learning to read remains a bit of a mystery, especially since teaching methods have changed since they were in school. nine0010

Here we will talk about how children are prepared for reading in England from an early age. Parents can take note of this method and use it when teaching their child to read in their native language, as well as when teaching to read in English.

How to help a child?

The following are tips and advice for parents on the learning material children usually learn in school, as well as some ideas on how to help a child who is having difficulty. nine0010

Do it at ease

Remember that the purpose of phonetics is to help your child learn to read as quickly as possible so that he can freely read whatever he likes! No one wants reading to become a chore, so learning should be playful, engaging, and engaging.

Whatever stage your child is in, don't forget:

  • Phonetic lessons should be short and focused. Try to stop before the child gets tired of homework! As a rule, it should be no more than 10 minutes. nine0033
  • Make learning as fun as possible for your child, in a playful way.
  • Choose a time to study when your child is not yet tired, and find a quiet place where he will not be distracted by the TV or noisy siblings.
  • Even when your child has already learned to read on his own, continue to read books to him aloud! During this period, fairy tales and stories, high-quality popular science literature, as well as a pleasant quiet pastime with a discussion of what you have read are important! nine0033
  • If you are concerned about the poor progress of your child, go to https://zvukibukvy.ru/, where phonetic analysis of words is presented in all its diversity, or talk to the teacher. Share your concerns and ask for advice. This often helps and can be a great source of new ideas to support your child!

Children of early and preschool age

This is one of the most important moments for teaching children. They will absorb ideas and information like sponges, so this is a great time to start teaching them to read. nine0010

In preschool classes, educators help children develop the listening skills they will need to become successful readers. In songs, stories, nursery rhymes and games, babies discover many sounds. They begin to get used to hearing and repeating them. This stage is often called the first phase of phonetics.

Here is what they do in English kindergartens at this age period for children:

  • Listen to the sounds of the world and copy them. nine0033
  • Use of toys, objects, own body and voice to extract and copy sounds.
  • Listening to rhythms and rhymes (for example, identifying rhyming words in a nursery rhyme).
  • Listening to sounds in spoken words and separating the word into separate sounds (eg 'd-o-g' makes the word 'dog').

All of this may not seem very much like reading, since children do not focus on writing and words, but this is a very important preparation for the next stage. nine0010

Onomatopoeia games for children

  • Use what the child loves! If he loves animals, listen to how many different animal sounds he can make. Can he copy the sound you make and say what kind of animal it is? Or, if he loves trucks, cars, and excavators, encourage him to make the appropriate sounds when he plays.
  • When you and your child leave the house, listen to the sounds around you - birdsong, traffic noise, etc. Can your child tell that he makes a particular sound? Can he copy it? nine0033
  • Sing songs and rhymes with your child. Can your child clap their hands when they hear a rhyming word?
  • Clap your hands or tap something according to the rhythm. Can your child copy this? Can he clap his hands with his rhythm so that you copy him?

Teaching general phonetic rules

Phonetics is the use of sounds produced by individual letters and groups of letters to read words. Strictly speaking, phonetics, as a branch of linguistics, studies speech sounds, sound structure of the language (syllables, sound combinations, patterns of connecting sounds in a speech chain) and intonation with which they are pronounced.

Most schools in the UK now teach reading using phonics. It's widely used because research shows it works! That is why the official school curriculum says that children should be taught to read using the rules of phonetics. nine0010

English schools use many different phonics programs and systems - some of them are Jolly Phonics, Read Write Inc, Big Cat, Bug Club and Oxford Reading Tree. Thus, the exact order in which the various letter sounds are introduced depends on the scheme used by the school. But most of the sound schemes used in schools are based on the government's "Letters and Sounds" guide.

Writing and sounds are divided into five stages. Stage 1 is used in activities with preschoolers where they learn to listen to sounds and copy them. In kindergarten, before children start learning letter names, they develop listening and onomatopoeia skills. For children, this is necessary so that they tune in to different sounds in words, and then be able to recognize and pronounce them. nine0010

Children usually begin to really engage in Phase 2, towards the start of their first year of school. During this period, most of the letters of the alphabet are introduced. In kindergarten (Reception) and primary (Primary 1 and Primary 2) grades, the letters of the alphabet are entered in a set order, and children learn one sound for each letter. At this point, they can say and read simple short words such as 'c-a-t, cat' and 's-u-n, sun'. The children then learn that some letters make different sounds when they are connected, such as 'sh', 'ee' and 'ai'. nine0010

After children learn to read words with the most common letter-sound combinations, they move on to learning many alternative combinations and practice reading increasingly difficult words. By the time they finish their first year of primary school (in England, 5-6 year olds), most children will be able to read just about any familiar word in English. In the second grade (age 6-7 in England), children improve their skills by practicing using phonetics to read and write less familiar and more difficult words. nine0010

Of course, while all this is happening, children are also learning to understand and enjoy what they read! In kindergarten and elementary school, teachers share wonderful fairy tales, stories and poems with children, encourage children to think, speak and enjoy reading .

Features of teaching the phonetic side of speech in elementary school



This article discusses the fundamental approaches to teaching elementary school students the phonetic aspect of a foreign language. The author reveals the difficulties of forming phonetic skills and ways to solve them. Attention is paid to a set of phonetic exercises aimed at establishing the correct pronunciation of sounds. nine0028

Key words: phonetic side of speech, phonetics, phonetic skills, phonetic games, skills control, problem of incorrect pronunciation of sounds

The article is dedicated to the fundamental approaches in teaching foreign language phonetics in primary school. The author identifies difficulties in developing phonetic skills and the ways of avoiding these problems focusing on the complex of phonetic exercises aimed to develop correct pronunciation of phonetic sounds. nine0028

Key words: phonetic aspects of speech, phonetics, phonetic skills, phonetic games, control of skills, problems of mispronunciation of phonetic sounds

In our time, there are fewer and fewer people who would refute the fact of the benefits of learning foreign languages. Every parent who involves their child in learning foreign languages ​​sooner or later faces certain difficulties. It is important to choose the right method for introducing a child to a foreign language, and what is important is to choose a competent teacher who would have an ideal accent, since the phonetic aspect in this matter is one of the main ones. nine0010

The problem of incorrect pronunciation is very relevant in our time. S. S. Pashkovskaya in her article “Peculiarities of Learning a Foreign Language by Children and Adults” writes that preschool children are much more prone to learning foreign languages ​​than adults. However, most children one way or another face a number of problems when studying the phonetics of foreign languages. It is worth noting that learning foreign languages ​​too early can lead to problems with the native language in the future. This is especially true for children with speech pathology. Under the influence of the phonetic number of an unfamiliar language, the work to correct these defects can be delayed for a long time. nine0010

It can be concluded that the opinion: “the sooner the better” is erroneous. Speech therapists believe that learning two foreign languages ​​from the 1st grade is also inappropriate. This can lead to overwork and even complete rejection of the subject. The form of foreign language classes for a preschooler must be selected based on the individual psychological characteristics of the child.

Returning to the main problems in language learning in elementary school, let us turn again to the article by S. S. Pashkovskaya, which formulates the problem as follows: "We hear only those sounds that we can pronounce." And “in order to correctly pronounce this or that sound of a foreign language, the student must make certain changes to his usual articulation” (“Issues of phonetics and teaching pronunciation”, Bershtein S.I., Moscow, Moscow State University, 1975). If we talk about preschool children, then here the problem will be on a larger scale, because the child is just learning to speak his native language. If, nevertheless, a parent decides on the early development of a foreign language by a child, then he must take into account all the subtleties of this serious decision. In the first few years of learning a foreign language, the child should deal with the teacher exclusively individually. Classes in a group at preschool age run the risk of being of little use. Any additional sounds will interfere with learning the already difficult material. nine0010

Returning to the children's perception of school age, of course, much depends on the individual characteristics of the student. But the teacher plays a major role. It is important to devote as much time as possible to monitoring the assimilation of the phonetic features of the language by each student. At this stage, all children are faced with the same problem in the field of phonetics: a defect in perception. Violation of pronunciation is “a consequence of the unformed operations of distinguishing and recognizing phonemes (i.e., defects in perception) either as an unformed operation and selection and implementation (i.e., production defects), or as a violation of the conditions for the implementation of sounds. ” (“Features of learning a foreign language by children and adults”, S. S. Pashkovskaya, 2010). nine0010

This problem occurs in all children at the first stage of language learning, it is very important to work on phonetic errors. These errors should be corrected in the first year of language learning. Otherwise, they will entail a number of the following problems: pronunciation errors will take root and it will be much more difficult to correct them.

Consider the problems of pronunciation of individual sounds. Let us turn to this example: in Russian there are sounds [z, s] - deaf and voiced, and in English - not only [z, s] - deaf and voiced, but also interdental, whistling. This sound in Russian is considered a defect. If a child has this defect, then in English he will replace all whistling sounds with interdental whistling (tongue between teeth). And this is a distortion not only of pronunciation, but also of the meaning of the word. nine0010

Nowadays, there are many methods for working out the phonetic aspect. The most common is imitation. For example, we ask you to say the sound [f] and then the word five [faiv]. The technique is used when working on sounds [b, v, k, g, s, z]. Another common method is imitation, based on the awareness of differences in the pronunciation of sounds: within the English language and in comparison with the Russian language. For example, we compare Russian [t] and English [t]. It is most appropriate to use this example in cases where the sounds in Russian and English, although close, differ in articulation. nine0010

The use of transcription when reading is also a common method that is used in every school. At this stage of studying phonetics, the problem may be poor mastery of the theory, since transcription is not the easiest stage in learning a language. Initially, the child needs to remember how to portray a particular sound, and then imitate it. For some children, these tasks become more difficult than imitating the sounds themselves. In schools, partial transcription is given from the first reading lessons. nine0010

Differentiation of sounds by ear is one of the most important techniques, it not only studies phonetics and works out its aspects, but also develops concentration, concentration, and attention. The method is carried out as follows: the teacher pronounces sounds and instructs students to raise their hand when they hear the sound being practiced. The teacher pronounces sounds, for example: [I, i:, e, u, u:]. At the sound [i], children should raise their hand.

Many of the consequences associated with existing problems in the field of English phonetics, it is important to eliminate with the help of listening tasks. First, such as described by yours. Secondly, with the help of audio recordings. In the process of working out and eliminating the consequences, the teacher must use this technique every lesson. It is important not only to use audio material, but also to use your own live articulation. As part of this method, listen and pronounce individual sounds, letter combinations, phrases and small dialogues. nine0010

It is worth noting that the most common method of practicing sounds based on audio materials is listening to songs and, mainly, singing them. While singing, children sing sounds, which gives them a better understanding of what this sound is and how to put it into practice.

Phonetic games. Game technologies in the framework of phonetic learning are also a very important aspect in learning a foreign language. The game, like labor and learning, is one of the main types of human activity. This is a type of activity where conditions are created for situations aimed at recreating and assimilating social experience, in which self-management of behavior is formed and improved. The use of gaming pedagogical technologies gives good results, increases the interest of students in the proposed material and allows them to master speech skills in the process of a natural situation. Consider a few examples of describing the articulation of English sounds. These models are phonetic exercises. nine0010

1. We blow off the balls. Have the children imagine balloons coming out of air [ssss].

2. At the doctor's. Children imagine a situation in which they visit a doctor and show him necks. In order for the doctor to examine the throat well, children need to pronounce the sound [a:].

3. We warm the handles. Invite the children to warm their hands or exhale on a mirror or glasses [h]. If the sound is pronounced correctly, then the hands will feel warm, and the windows will fog up. Make sure that the children get an almost silent English sound [h] and there is no overtone characteristic of the Russian [x], when the back of the tongue is pressed against the soft palate in the oral cavity. nine0010

Such a game is also common among teachers: there is a certain hero - Mr. Tongue and his various stories, the children are shown a picture with Mr. Tongue and cards with sounds, for example: today our friend Mr. Tongue invites us to take a walk with him through the forest (we turn on the cassette recording the sounds of the forest). So, we are in the forest. Leaves and branches, needles and cones rustle under our feet: [∫-∫-∫]. And suddenly mosquitoes attack us and buzz: [z-z-z]. And we drive them away like this: the children clap their hands. The mosquitoes got scared and flew away, and we continue to walk through the forest: [∫-∫-∫]. Suddenly bees attack us and buzz: [ð-ð-ð]. We try not to make sudden movements, and the bees fly away, and you and I go out to a beautiful edge, there are a lot of colorful butterflies on it, and we say: [wau-w-wau]. nine0010

Summing up, it is undoubtedly worth highlighting the fact that the phonetic aspect in the study of English by schoolchildren is worth a lot of attention, both from parents and from teachers. Mistakes made in this matter will be difficult to correct. It is always worthwhile, first of all, to pay attention to the control of learning, the control of assignments and results from the first weeks of learning English at school. E. I. Passov writes that the greatest attention should be paid to early language learning, control is important, but also self-control.
