Didactic games for the development of spelling vigilance

“Didactic games in Russian lessons

languages ​​when teaching spelling.

Prepared by a primary school teacher

MOBUG No. 2, Novokubansk

Svetlana Yakovlevna Matveeva

Teaching spelling in primary grades is always one of the most important tasks. When preparing for a Russian language lesson, the teacher faces questions: how to help the student write correctly? how to form spelling vigilance and achieve high-quality results in students of spelling rules.

Didactic games help in the implementation of this problem, allowing you to see and perceive spelling rules, algorithms for their application, methods for checking spelling.

The effectiveness of the didactic game was studied by well-known teachers K.D. Ushinsky, S.T. Shatsky, V.A. Sukhomlinsky, L.S. Vygotsky, D.B. be used in the study of any program material. The game allows the student to develop the ability to self-determination, to be included in educational activities and forms of communication with other people. It teaches learning independence, forms the ability to study with a desire, to perform introspection of one's own life. The game allows you to provide the right number of repetitions on different materials. And this is self-development based on the subconscious, mind and creativity. The use of didactic games helps to increase the strength and quality of knowledge assimilation, motivation for learning, interest in the subject. The didactic game should correspond to the content of the topic being studied, the goals and objectives of the lesson.

It is impossible not to note the educational value of didactic games. They bring up goodwill, initiative, efficiency in students; stimulate and activate cognitive processes: thinking, memory, imagination; create conditions for the formation of positive motivation for educational activities, which contributes to improving the quality of students' knowledge.

The use of didactic games teaches to establish similarities and differences, connections between phenomena, boldly defend one's point of view, look for additional sources of information.

It should be remembered that the formation of spelling literacy depends on the level of spelling vigilance, on the ability to find spellings, identify them and carry out self-checking of what is written. Spelling vigilance develops as a result of purposeful, systematic exercises that ensure the perception and memorization of spellings. Students must know the rule and the algorithm for its application.

I offer several games.

“The most attentive”

The sentences written on the cards, write down using capital letters where necessary.

"Necessary nut"
