Reading lesson for 1st grade

First Grade Reading Comprehension Activities

First grade is an exciting time of discovery for early readers. They’re spending less time decoding and word solving and more time comprehending and making sense of the texts they’re reading. Early readers are building reading identities and reading for meaning and joy. Explicitly teaching reading comprehension strategies like making predictions, asking questions, retelling, and inferring helps young readers build the skills they need. These first grade reading comprehension activities are a good place to start.

1. String up a retelling rope

Learning how to retell a story helps young learners as readers and thinkers. It helps them organize their thoughts as they read and recognize when their thinking changes. Using these symbols representing different elements of a story, students can string up a cute retelling rope while gaining valuable comprehension skills.

Visualizing is an important skill for understanding what you’re reading. This blog includes two fun visualizing activities.

4. Make a “beginning, middle, and end” flip chart

One tried-and-true way to teach summarizing to early readers is instructing them to identify the beginning, middle, and end of a story. This easy-to-make flip chart is just an 8 x 11 piece of plain paper folded vertically then divided into thirds. On the front half, students will draw a picture of what happens in the three sections of the story. Underneath each flap is a short written description.

Sight words (aka high-frequency words) are words readers encounter most frequently in texts. Early readers benefit from knowing a large bank of sight words, which encourages fluent reading. This fun sight word game is a great way to improve reading skills and build reading fluency.

13. Use scooping phrases

The goal of reading fluency is better comprehension. To read with fluency or expression, readers must comprehend the story events. Teach early readers to use “Scooping Phrases” to scoop up words to form phrases within sentences. This effective strategy also works well with struggling readers.

14. Introduce wordless picture books

As readers encounter more-difficult texts, character traits become less explicit. To determine what the character is like, the reader has to do more inferential work. Using wordless picture books is a great way to introduce early readers to making inferences.

15. Inference using thought bubbles

Foundational inference activities give first graders an opportunity to practice their inferring skills. As they move into texts, first graders can infer what a character is thinking in the story and then add a thought bubble to explain it.

"How to make reading lessons interesting?"

Modern life requires a quality education, high intellectual and physical development, deep knowledge of the surrounding world, a conscious, creative approach to nature and society from a person entering into it.

In the Concept of Modernization of Education in the Russian Federation, school theorists and practitioners are tasked with improving the teaching of schoolchildren as the leading type of their activity, finding ways, conditions, and a system of didactic tools in order to increase the cognitive activity of children in the educational process. As you know, the educational process proceeds more efficiently and gives better results if the teacher uses various methods of stimulating educational and cognitive activity in his work. Stimulation methods are conditionally divided into subgroups: methods of emotional stimulation; methods of development of cognitive interest; methods of formation of responsibility and obligation; methods of development of creative abilities and personal qualities of students.

Knowledge of the methods of stimulating cognitive activity is especially important at the initial stage of training. The psychological characteristics of younger students, their natural curiosity, responsiveness, special disposition to learn new things, readiness to perceive everything that the teacher gives, creates favorable conditions for the development of cognitive interests and activity in children. When learning is interesting, learning is easy. Therefore, every teacher thinks: “What can and should be done so that children go to school with a great desire? How to form and direct their desire to acquire knowledge?”

I also asked myself these questions. As a result of studying the psychological and pedagogical literature, the experience of teachers and its analysis, I came to the conclusion that it is possible to instill in children a cognitive interest in learning if you systematically accumulate and thoughtfully select fascinating didactic material that can attract the attention of each student. After all, what attracts children, makes them think, concentrate, is easier to remember, causes a feeling of joy and satisfaction. No wonder Sh.A. Amonashvili in his works noted that "the pedagogical process should provide the child with the joy of life, so that this process captivates him completely, with all his life aspirations and needs."

Literary reading is one of the main subjects in elementary school. After all, well-read children with a high level of speech development are successfully trained not only in primary grades, but also in the middle level. Without reading, a person cannot comprehend the world around him. Therefore, every teacher strives to make reading the most favorite lesson for children.

Children go to school with a great desire to learn to read first. Therefore, already from the first lessons, I begin to get acquainted with the letters. At the first literacy lesson, we get acquainted with the magical land of Bukvaria and its inhabitants: the gnomes Tim and Tom, the little fairies Irishka and Nastenka, the little man Emphasis. Next comes the block study of letters. When working on each letter, we work on articulation, learn poems for the studied letters. Thus, by the beginning of the letter period, children are practically familiar with all the letters of the alphabet. By the time they are introduced to consonants, children are quite good at classifying vowels and consonants. It is at this point that the process of learning to read begins.

I start each lesson with a warm-up. In the process of warming up, I pay great attention to work on diction, a clear pronunciation of words and phrases. Here, tongue twisters help me. In tongue twisters, you need to overcome all difficult sound combinations. It is very important to pronounce a complex word syllable by syllable, albeit at a slow pace, but pronounce it without any difficulties or reservations. Working on a tongue twister, I work out the purity of sound, intonation with the help of tasks: “Read the tongue twister with surprise, with joy, with indignation.” The warm-up also includes reading open and closed syllables, composing words according to the syllable table, playing tricks "Tell a word", "Syllable lost", "Syllabic cloud", "Guess which letter is missing", "Day-night" and others. The collection of game exercises by V.V. is very helpful in the work. Volina "Entertaining ABCs".

To read consonant syllables with the studied consonant sound, repeat the vowels with the help of a manual that shows articulation when pronouncing vowels. Then, in front of the vowel, the studied consonant sound is placed in the pocket, the letters are “taken by the handles” - we read the resulting merging syllables. With the help of this manual, we conduct the game "Guess by my lips, to pronounce what syllable I have prepared."

Children come to grade 1 with a rather modest vocabulary. From the first steps I teach children to express their thoughts accurately, clearly, in a moderately loud voice. Proverbs and sayings help to replenish the vocabulary of words. In my lessons I use some of the techniques and methods developed in the manual by G.A. Bakulina "Intellectual development in the lessons of literacy."

Games, game techniques, riddles, puzzles, crossword puzzles used in the classroom make the process of learning to read and write more interesting, entertaining, and make it easier to overcome difficulties in mastering educational material. Various types of reading in the classroom do not let children get bored. But the most important thing is that the work is carried out systematically and regularly.

I will give an example of one of the lessons.

Topic: "Reading syllables, words and texts with the letters M, m"

Objectives:

1. to learn to distinguish sounds from words, to characterize them, to recognize learned letters; to form the skill of reading combinations of letters, words, sentences;
