From 50-75% of all words used in school books, library books, newspapers, and magazines are in the Dolch Basic Sight Vocabulary of 220 words (preschool thru Grade 3).  The Dolch word list is made up of "service words" (pronouns, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and verbs) which cannot be learned through the use of pictures.

In this section I've included a series of flashcards that can be printed and used to reinforce learning, the complete list of preschool words (see table) and some activity ideas for using the flashcards.

Ideas for Using the Flashcards:

The flashcards can simply be held up, giving the child the opportunity to read each one.   But if you're looking for a more engaging activity, try combining the Dolch flashcards with the noun picture flashcards for a variety of activities (I've listed some suggestions here from simplest to hardest)

  • ACTIVITY ONE:

       

    • have an adult arrange the flashcards to form a sentence. 
    • Read the sentence with/to the child
    • Remove one of the dolch words from the sentence and put it back in the pile (you may want to make the pile smaller in the beginning to make the activity easier). 
    • Give the pile to the child and have them find the correct card to place back in the sentence.
    • Re-read the sentence.
  • ACTIVITY TWO:

          

    • have an adult arrange the flashcards to form a sentence, leaving one card out.
    • read the incomplete sentence with/to the child.
    • present between 2 and 5 cards to the child (one of them should make the sentence complete)
    • have the child chose which is the correct card
    • re-read the sentence with the card chosen.   Talk about whether it makes sense or not.
  • ACTIVITY THREE:
    • provide the child with all or part of the pile of flashcards
    • allow them to create their own sentences using the cards
    • read the sentences with them and talk about what they've created.
    • OPTIONAL:  Have them glue their completed sentence to the bottom of a piece of construction paper and draw a picture of their sentence on the top.  (author/illustrator of their own story).

Checking and expanding vocabulary

First level of exercises available Vocabulary testing and expansion - Teaching letters and alphabets to preschool children. Alphabet, Russian letters

Expansion of the vocabulary of children 3-6 years old - learning to read online

It's no secret that children often read badly just because they don't understand words that smart adult uncles use in the text. This raises two difficulties - read the word itself, and it can be long, and secondly, understand what was read and remember what it means. nine0008

For those kids who have not yet learned how to link letters into words and made this training. At the first stage, you need to memorize three-letter words, and a little later - four-letter. At the same time, it is important to remember that this game is primarily for replenishment. vocabulary, and not on the speed of solving the puzzle. That is, exercise necessary with an adult and if the child does not understand the words, then the adult is simply obliged explain its meaning.

How does vocabulary help children prepare better for university entrance? school

The more vocabulary a person has, the easier he can formulate thoughts. Remember that there is a rule that they meet a person by clothes, but follow the mind. At present, both clothes and mind are determined by the dictionary reserve man

Millet just play games on my site for five to ten minutes each day and in a playful way teach your child to read. Remember that children cannot time to work hard. Children learn only through play. nine0008

How to choose the time for classes

There is this recommendation:

If you want to be successful and not discourage your child from learning, make each session a game when he is active, alert and in good mood.

This is a highly controversial recommendation. The kid quickly understands that as soon as it opens primer, then it will be boring, and he won’t be able to see the TV set. The mood spoils, occupation comes from under the stick. nine0008

How to choose the right words for reading

Not all children understand how to put letters into words correctly. for them the letters are just icons that don't represent anything. Why do adults want certain things from them? actions, children do not understand. And, at some point, the children understand what it is letters and how words can be formed from them. Just for such children, I collected simulators and games.

In this simulator you will need to read simple words and choose the right picture that represents the word. First come simple words, consisting of three letters, then more difficult and long. The task I set was to collect the words, with all letters of the Russian alphabet. nine0008

Learning to read by playing online

Determine the child's vocabulary

Words for reading should be given from what is already known thesaurus (dictionary) of the child.

The child operates with words related to people:

mother, father, woman, grandfather (if he is still alive - if not, then we exclude from the list), aunt, uncle, Vasya, Nastya, Sergey, Lena, Kolya - all names parents, brothers and sisters.

nine0034

The child can describe the surrounding kitchen utensils:

spoon, mug, plate, soup, tea, cube, water, drink,

Adding tasty words for boys to the dictionary

Lego, robot, tank, pistol, helmet, car, truck, gun, defense, attack, football. ..

A, for girls - words for girls

beauty, princess, girl...

Adding fairy tale characters and toy names to the dictionary

Luntik, Aibolit, MoyDodyr, Shapoklyak...

If the kid watches American cartoons, then add the main characters of these cartoons

Why the baby, the preschooler, forgets the letters. Learning to read in games

Why does a kid forget letters, although he learned them yesterday

Usually, a child easily memorizes some letters, and not so others. The role of an adult in celebrating what his ward does not succeed in and giving additional tasks. nine0008

Another important thing is regularity. Since for the child all learning is frankly, cramming and repetition, then the process of classes should be such that information was repeated at regular intervals.

Ebbinghaus (read more about this on Wikipedia) studied how quickly people forget meaningless information for this person and came to the conclusion that in the first twenty minutes, 40% of the information is forgotten. And if it is impossible to say exactly what it means this or that letter, then this is tantamount to the fact that the letter is completely unfamiliar. Must be unequivocal 100% recognition. nine0008

Repeat, repeat, repeat

For example, you are training warehouses (syllable, combination of letters) TO , and the child more or less learned to recognize and read the combination. Add the syllable BUT to the tasks, and ask to read words helping to read unfamiliar more child letters. However, the child can click on the syllables himself and listen to how the computer is reading.

su to no

The program has a vocabulary of the present word 900 words and will pick up with ease words with the necessary syllables (syllables).

Note

See if the child understands the meaning of the words. The dictionary in the program is selected in a special way - so that all combinations of letters needed for training come across. Therefore, the word may be unfamiliar. For example, the word SUKNO has been added to the dictionary since this word includes the SU warehouse.

Note

If you have any ideas for expanding the dictionary, then I will gladly include your dictionary to the existing one. nine0008

sentences and could express his thoughts, and more or less - distinctly pronounce sounds.

How long does it take to study?

The duration of each lesson should not exceed 5 minutes, as children early age are not yet capable of longer concentrated actions. nine0008

How to choose the time for classes

There is this recommendation:

If you want to be successful and not discourage your child from learning, make each session a game when he is active, alert and in good mood.

This is a highly controversial recommendation. The kid quickly understands that as soon as it opens primer, then it will be boring, and he won’t be able to see the TV set. The mood spoils, occupation comes from under the stick. nine0008

Here are the simple rules for organizing classes:

  • Classes must be periodic. Short enough for your son or daughter engaged enthusiastically.
  • There should be a reward at the end.
  • The kid must clearly understand what he needs to do this time.

I RECOMMEND!

I recommend reading Karen Pryor's book Don't Grow at the Dog, in order to to understand how to train... oh, train a child. nine0008

In short, put only one task. ONLY ONE! As soon as it turns out what you wanted - leave the lesson. For example, you want the child to clearly uttered the tongue twister "in the yard - grass, on the grass - firewood." Explain to the child that you need to clearly and clearly say the words slowly and articulately. If he speaks on the first try. Everybody! lessons are over.

In our case, clearly explain how many exercises he has to do this time! And don't give any more quests. nine0008

Speech games in the development of the vocabulary of children of senior preschool age with general speech underdevelopment of the 3rd level | Correctional pedagogy

Speech games in the development of the vocabulary of children of senior preschool age with general underdevelopment of speech of the 3rd level

Author: Rozhkova Yuliya Andreevna

Organization: N.F.Katanov KhSU

Settlement: Republic of Khakassia, Abakan

Annotation. The article characterizes the manifestations of general underdevelopment of speech in children aged 6-7 years, describes the practical use of speech therapy speech games to enrich the vocabulary of this category of children.

Keywords : speech games, vocabulary development, general speech underdevelopment of the third level.

The problem of the formation of the vocabulary of speech occupies an important place in modern speech therapy, therefore the question of the state of the dictionary in various speech disorders and the methodology of its development is one of the most urgent in the development of the speech of the individual [3]. nine0008

Special studies of teachers show a fairly rapid, both quantitatively and qualitatively, vocabulary development in preschool children. As the child grows, the meaning of the word does not remain constant. There is an establishment of the meaning of the word and with it the emergence of a certain position, from the moment of acquaintance with the first word, the process of forming an opinion begins. The meaning of the word also develops, unfolds from concrete to abstract development, there is a generalization. nine0008

Various studies of the forms of speech pathology of preschool children in the middle of the 20th century were reflected in the theoretical provisions of the general underdevelopment of speech by R.E. Levina, N.A. Nikashina, G.A. Kashe, L.F. Spirova and others. So, R.E. Levina developed a periodization of manifestations of general underdevelopment of speech: from the complete absence of speech means of communication to expanded forms of coherent speech with elements of phonetic-phonemic and lexical-grammatical underdevelopment.

General underdevelopment of speech is a complex speech disorder in which children with normal hearing and initially preserved intellect have a late onset of speech development, a poor vocabulary, agrammatism, pronunciation and phoneme formation defects, which indicates a systemic impairment of all components of speech activity. There are three levels of speech development in preschool children with general underdevelopment of speech: the first level is characterized by the fact that speech means of communication are extremely limited, the active vocabulary of children consists of a small number of indistinctly pronounced everyday words, onomatopoeia and sound complexes, pointing gestures, facial expressions are widely used. nine0008

The second level is characterized by increased speech activity of the child, communication is carried out through the use of a constant, although still distorted and limited stock of commonly used words, etc. .

Play is the leading activity for preschool children. Games are of great importance in the mental, moral, physical and aesthetic education of children. In the process of games, the vocabulary of children is replenished and activated, coherent speech develops, the ability to correctly express one's thoughts, and the correct sound pronunciation is formed. Being a special tool, speech games increase children's motivation in the development of speech skills, while causing a keen interest in activities. The game helps the child to enter into verbal communication with others, develops the ability to correctly pronounce sounds, words, assimilate the grammatical forms of the native language, while overcoming certain difficulties [1]. nine0008

Our research was conducted on the basis of MBDOU Beloyarsky kindergarten "Teremok". The study involved 10 children of senior preschool age with OHP level 3. The experimental part of our study was aimed at determining the level of development of the vocabulary of older preschool children. The results of the diagnostic tasks showed that the group was dominated by a low level of development of the active vocabulary. In this regard, we concluded that it is necessary to conduct special work with children using speech games. The essence of the speech game lies in the fact that children solve mental problems proposed to them in an entertaining way, find solutions themselves, while overcoming certain difficulties. The child perceives the mental task as a practical, playful one, which increases his mental activity. nine0008

The game material was selected taking into account the age and individual characteristics of children. The selection of material for speech games was determined by the tasks of vocabulary work. So, to activate the everyday vocabulary, toys or pictures depicting household items were selected, and to activate the natural history dictionary, natural material (vegetables, fruits, animals, etc. ) was selected. Engaged with children with the help of speech games in the afternoon, within the framework of the lexical topic that children are learning this week. nine0008

Particular attention in the selection of speech material was given to the gradual complication of tasks, their connection with the stages of work on the word. At the first stage, the chosen theme had to correspond to the lexical theme of the game. The work was aimed at clarifying and deepening knowledge about objects that the child often comes into contact with in his life (toys, dishes, clothes, furniture, etc.). Children learned to consistently observe, to highlight the essential features of objects. At the second stage, children were taught to independently use the dictionary in the process of a speech game. But we noticed that when communicating with each other, children rarely use learned nouns, verbs and adjectives in speech, make mistakes in matching words in a sentence. Therefore, in their free time, verbal didactic games and game exercises were conducted to recall and name words denoting objects, actions, signs. The following age-appropriate speech games were used, such as:
