Testimonials

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 .
