What?Although many people are now dependent on spell check, spelling remains a foundational skill that needs to be explicitly taught and independently practiced. Hangmouse, our online hangman game, is a perfect tool for practicing spelling without relying on spell check. More...Less

Spelling helps with reading and language proficiency, as the connection between letters and sounds is explored and students begin to decode words. In addition, spelling is a necessary skill in writing as students become more proficient with encoding words. This skill does not stop when students move on from elementary school.

When? Spelling instruction is a key component of the English Language Arts block. More...Less

It is a foundational skill that should be explicitly taught and practiced. Students in the primary grades study spelling in word patterns and word families and find patterns or chunks that they know. Throughout upper elementary and middle school grades, students are exposed to more difficult spelling patterns. Assigning hangman for kids is a great way to teach students how to recognize and anticipate certain groups of letters that commonly appear together in spelling.

How to teach: Teachers tend to assign weekly spelling words and vocabulary terms to the whole class and assess at the end of the week. More...Less

HangMouse can be an alternative to the typical paper and pencil homework. The engaging, interactive game can also be used in the classroom during literacy centers. VocabularySpellingCity makes it very easy for teachers to differentiate the words that students need to learn to spell.

Play to learn: HangMouse is a variation on the traditional online Hangman game. More...Less

Students have the opportunity to name a letter to spell the spelling or vocabulary word. The game will display the word’s definition or a sentence with a blank on the bottom of the page and students will have seven attempts to guess the correct letters. Students receive immediate feedback when an incorrect letter is chosen, as the cat starts to wake up.

Teaching Tip: HangMouse provides audio features perfect for English Language Learners (ELLs). More...Less

ELLs become familiar with the letters that make up the word, the sounds that those letters make, and the pronunciation of the word while playing. HangMouse also lends itself to all subject areas. Science, social studies, or math teachers alike can use this interactive game to review key concepts, as the kids hangman game displays the words’ definitions and shows how they are used in context.

What? Spelling is a foundational skill that is necessary for reading and writing proficiency. More...Less

Spelling instruction begins with phonics and phonemic awareness, two major components in reading instruction. Through spelling, students draw on their knowledge of letter and sound relationships and they can begin to decode and encode words.

When? In kindergarten, students begin to explore letter-sound correspondence and the written English language through inventive spelling. More...Less

Throughout the primary grades, students become familiar with basic spelling patterns, like the CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) pattern. As students progress into upper elementary grades and middle school, they are exposed to more complex patterns, such as root words and affixes.

How to teach: Spelling TestMe can be used as a pretest to identify which words students need to practice, as a practice test before a graded test, or as a formative assessment.

Play to learn: Spelling TestMe provides students the opportunity to practice, review and assess their spelling. More...Less

Each word is read aloud and presented in context. Students have the opportunity to listen again by clicking on the “Word” and “Sentence” buttons. Before the final submission, students have the option of reviewing their words. When words are submitted, the test is immediately graded. Students receive immediate feedback on words spelled correctly and incorrectly. Students have the opportunity to further practice their misspelled words.

Teaching Tip: Spelling TestMe allows for differentiated spelling instruction. Teachers can assign different spelling words for students and assess them at the end of the week using Spelling TestMe. It automates the assessment process, generating and grading tests.

The purpose of the methodological development:

to develop didactic games and game techniques for teaching students how to spell vowels after hissing.

  1. Introduction

How to make the Russian language lesson an interesting, entertaining and favorite subject for students of special schools?

One of the most effective means that can arouse interest in Russian language classes is a didactic game. The purpose of the game is to arouse interest in knowledge, science, books, teachings. At primary school age, the game, along with learning, occupies an important place in the development of the child. When children are included in the situation of a didactic game, interest in learning activity increases sharply, the material being studied becomes more accessible to them, and their working capacity increases significantly.

After all, the fact that the game is part of the learning process is not a secret for anyone. The game helps to form the phonemic perception of the word, enriches the child with new information, activates mental activity, attention, and most importantly - stimulates speech. As a result, children have an interest in the Russian language. Not to mention the fact that didactic games in the Russian language contribute to the formation of the spelling vigilance of a younger student.

Over the course of several years of work in primary school, I observed that Russian language classes do not always arouse interest among students. Some kids find it boring. The unwillingness to study Russian breeds illiteracy. I thought about how to arouse interest in classes, how to improve writing literacy. I re-read a sufficient amount of literature, analyzed my lessons and came to the conclusion that it is possible to arouse interest in the Russian language if you systematically accumulate and select fascinating material that can attract the attention of each student.

As we all know, children with intellectual disabilities have impaired phonemic perception. Therefore, errors are often encountered in the spelling of vowels after hissing. In this regard, I consider it relevant to use didactic games and techniques when studying the topic “Spelling of vowels after hissing”.

  1. Theoretical part

THE ROLE OF THE DIDACTIC GAME IN THE CORRECTIONAL EDUCATIONAL PROCESS.

The main form of influence on a child in special institutions is organized classes in which adults play the leading role. Mastering the program material depends on the correct choice of teaching methods. At the same time, each teacher should also understand the age characteristics of children, those developmental deviations that are characteristic of the mentally retarded. As a rule, mentally retarded children are inert, unemotional. Therefore, such methodological techniques are needed that could attract attention, interest every child. Mentally retarded children are passive and do not show a desire to actively act with objects and toys. Adults need to constantly create in children a positive emotional attitude towards the proposed activity. This purpose is served by didactic games.

Didactic games are one of the forms of educational influence of an adult on a child. At the same time, the game is the main activity of children. Thus, a didactic game has two goals: one of them is educational, which is pursued by an adult, and the other is a game, for which a child acts. It is important that these two goals complement each other and ensure the assimilation of the program material. It is necessary to strive to ensure that the child, without mastering the program material, could not achieve the game goal. A didactic game is a learning tool, so it can be used in the assimilation of any program material and carried out in the classroom both by a teacher-defectologist (individual and group) and by a teacher, and also included in music classes, be one of the entertaining elements on a walk, can be a special kind of activity.

In a didactic game, conditions are created in which each child gets the opportunity to act independently in a certain situation or certain objects, acquiring his own effective and sensual experience. This is especially important for mentally retarded children, in whom the experience of actions with objects is significantly impoverished, not fixed and not generalized.

A mentally retarded child needs much more repetitions to master the methods of orientation in the environment, to isolate and fix the properties and relations of objects, to understand this or that action, than a normally developing child. The didactic game allows you to provide the required number of repetitions on different material while maintaining an emotionally positive attitude towards the task.

Thus, the special role of didactic play in the learning process of a special institution is determined by the fact that the game should make the learning process itself emotional, effective, allow the child to gain his own experience.

When selecting didactic games, I primarily pursued correctional goals and took into account the developmental features of mentally retarded children.

Upon admission to special institutions, mentally retarded children have difficulty in contact with adults, do not know how to communicate with peers, do not know how to assimilate social experience. If normally developing schoolchildren already perfectly act according to imitation, according to a model and according to emotional verbal instructions, then mentally retarded students must be taught this. Thanks to didactic games, it is possible to organize the activities of a mentally retarded child in such a way that it will contribute to the formation of his ability to solve not only accessible practical, but also not complex problematic tasks. And the experience gained at the same time will make it possible to understand and solve familiar problems in a visual, figurative and even verbal way. In games that contribute to the formation of thinking, two directions are distinguished: from perception to thinking and from visual - effective to visual - figurative and logical thinking.

An important condition for the effective use of didactic games in teaching is compliance with the sequence in the selection of games. First of all, the following didactic principles should be taken into account: accessibility, repeatability, gradual completion of tasks. All these principles are provided for in the system of location of games.

3. The practical part

will give some didactic games and game techniques that I use in my lessons. She also developed a series of lessons and presentations on the topic "Spelling vowels after hissing".

"Choose three words" (It can be used to consolidate any topic in the Russian language)

Purpose: To follow the formation of spelling skills, taking into account the stage of work on spelling.

The choice of words depends on the topics being studied or covered.

The words are written on the cards:

  1. th set: stocking, thicket, scarecrow, streams, miracle.
  2. set: honeysuckle, animal, closet, cup, siskin.

Two people take cards in turn, the winner is the one who first has three words with the same spelling.

Game "Cyphers"

Purpose: automation of sounds, development of phonetic and phonemic perception, processes of analysis and synthesis, understanding of the meaningful function of sound and letters, enrichment of students' vocabulary, development of logical thinking.

Move: They play in pairs: one as a cryptographer, the other as a guesser.

The cryptographer conceives a word and encrypts it. Players can try their hand at deciphering phrases and sentences: zhyil ishmy izhrits y

He is me.

Purpose. Fixing the spelling of words with combinations of chu - shu. Equipment. Words written on the board in three columns.

Game progress. The class is divided into three groups, each is given a column of verbs. At the signal of the teacher, students from each group come out in order and write down one word with the meaning “I do” according to the given one, for example: knocking - I knock. The first group to complete the task without making any mistakes wins.

Sample material. Words: knocks, is silent, teaches, seeks, flies, drags, cleans, wants, cries jumps, spends, helps out, turns off, treats, meets, forgives, cracks, growls

Hissing.

Purpose. Activation of words with studied spellings and fixing their spelling (cha - shcha, zhi - shi, chu - shu).

Equipment. Each player has seven syllables zhi and a set of other syllables, which

in combination with this syllable form words: but, ly, u, chi, lu, li, reef.

Each player has eight shi syllables and a set of the next

syllables: gr, er, kry, we, ly, na, y, pit.

Each player has six syllables cha and syllables yes, ku, tu,

sy, shcha, shka.

Each player has four syllables shcha and a set of ro, pi, cha, vel.

Each player has seven syllables chu and four syllables shu, as well as the syllables dak, zhoi, gun, lok, lan, ka, kri, pla, ta, chi, pro.

Game progress. Syllables with the studied spelling (one of the options) are laid out in a column. Then other syllables are attached to them on the left or on the right, so that a word is obtained. The winner is the one who first puts all the available syllables into words.

Guess the last word and write it down.

Purpose. Dictionary activation; fixing the spelling of words on the studied rule.

Game progress. See the game with the same name in the topic "Soft sign at the end and in the middle of a word" on p. 52.

We look carefully, like mushroom pickers. They wrote down the first sentence, found and underlined all the spellings they encountered.

Name all spellings, all difficult spellings.

Now we will write the second sentence. Pay attention to the verb do not rush.

Children answer:

- “Write separately without the verb!”

- “Shi write with and”.

- "Unstressed e, check the haste."

Guys, let's remember the rule about an unstressed vowel in the root:

If the letter of the vowel is in doubt,

You immediately put it under stress.

Children write sentences in a notebook.

The hedgehogs answered them:

“Only write to me!”

The Miracle – Pike strikes with its fin:

“Letter U is needed! And well - ka!

And the forest thicket rustles:

“Look more often as a rule,

There are magic words:

- Did you enjoy your trip?

Closing eyes again,
We are flying away from a fairy tale.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 we will return to the class again.

Summary of the lesson.

45 games and game exercises in the Russian language lessons to develop and correct the attention of 2nd grade students with mental retardation

Sections: Russian language, Primary school, Correctional pedagogy, Inclusive education

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Attention occupies a special place among mental phenomena, acting as an integral part of cognition, feelings and will. It plays a significant role in the regulation of intellectual activity, allowing you to concentrate and direct the consciousness of a student at a given moment of time on some real or ideal object - an object, phenomenon, event, image, thought, etc.

Primary schoolchildren aged 8-9 with mental retardation (MPD) have unstable attention. This instability manifests itself in different ways. In some children, at the beginning of the task, there is maximum concentration for them, which steadily decreases as the activity continues, and the student begins to make mistakes or completely stops performing the task. For others, the greatest concentration of attention occurs after a certain period of performing specified actions, and then gradually decreases. There are children who have periodic fluctuations in attention. The possibilities of volitional regulation of attention, control of it in children above this category are limited.

The variability of deviations in the development of junior schoolchildren with mental retardation has a wide range: children of the same age are at different stages of development of speech, sensory-perceptual and mental activity, they have spatiotemporal representations formed to varying degrees, they have a different stock of knowledge about the environment the world.

The listed developmental deficiencies are successfully compensated with directed and systematic work on educational material under the guidance and with the help of an adult.

Of great importance for the correction and development of voluntary attention at primary school age for students with mental retardation is the game, on which the teacher must rely as the leading activity of the child with mental retardation, but saturate the game with didactic rules so that the child needs mental stress. In turn, didactic games have a task, rules, actions and require concentration. In order to develop in students certain qualities of attention (purposefulness, stability, concentration) and the ability to manage them, we have developed game exercises based on the program content in the Russian language for students with second-grade mental retardation.

When developing games and game exercises, we used the methodological recommendations for the development of attention by A.A. Osipova, L.N. Blinova, for the organization of assistance to a poorly performing student N.P. Lokalova, for teaching the Russian language to younger students with mental retardation С .G.Shevchenko.

For convenient use in work, games and game exercises were distributed by us according to the studied content lines of the subject area "Russian language": "Language system" (phonetics and graphics, morphemic, morphology, syntax), "Spelling and punctuation" and "Speech development ".

The developed set of games and game exercises is aimed at providing timely psychological and pedagogical assistance to children with mental retardation and is designed to develop attention and improve the quality of mastering the content of educational material in the Russian language lessons and correctional and developmental classes for students with mental retardation 8-9 years.

Practical significance: the materials of this work can be used by elementary school teachers, psychologists, speech pathologists to work with children of primary school age to develop their attention properties and improve the quality of teaching in the Russian language.

Games for studying the section "Phonetics and graphics"

The child is offered a table with 10 rows of 10 letters each with letters and a suggestion to cross out all the vowels in 3 minutes.

Variants of the game:

  1. cross out only consonants;
  2. strike out letters that show only voiceless or voiced consonants;
  3. cross out the vowels that indicate the softness or hardness of the consonant;
  4. Cross out consonants that show only soft or hard consonants.
