Each child, before going to the first grade, receives a certain knowledge base in kindergarten. Literacy education for preschoolers, as a rule, takes place according to a “knurled” scheme: reading a primer, simple fairy tales, writing letters, mainly in printed form. As a result, each child develops according to their natural abilities. Who is gifted and talented - he quickly grasps new material, the same children who cannot navigate the above, have "gaps" in knowledge.

Features of our gardens

Teaching literacy for preschoolers in different preschools takes place in its own way. In those institutions where educators are caring, love their profession and are puzzled by the fact that all their wards develop and improve, lessons of writing, grammar and reading are held daily. In other kindergartens, such events may be held autonomously, by invited teachers, or not at all. In any case, it is important that the parents also take care of the education of the child. doing homework,getting grades in a notebook, even from mom, the baby will gradually prepare for the first grade program.

How should children be taught to read and write?

It is important to know that teaching preschoolers to read and write should not exclude the phonetic aspect. A child can learn all the letters, make words out of them and write them down on paper. But in parallel with this, he must certainly pronounce all the syllables correctly. Be sure to invite your child to read everything he wrote. Thus, a sound-letter analysis is carried out, which most often consists in didactic games. They are carried out in gardens, they can be repeated at home so that the material is better absorbed. As an example, we will describe several phonetic games that will help children learn all the features of the pronunciation of sounds.

Perches and ducks

Children are divided into two groups: some are perches, others are ducks. Now everyone mixes up and walks, runs, dances around the room, after which the leader says one of these two words. All members of the group whose name was mentioned should freeze. Those who do not do this are out of the game. So the kids will be able to distinguish between the sounds “O” and “U” faster and more clearly.

The cow flew

Another method of teaching literacy to preschoolers is the complete analysis of the word in the gameplay. To do this, the children sit in a circle, while each turns the right palm up, and directs the left down. So all the neighbors will be able to hit each other on the palm. Now, in turn, each child sayswords: “The Cow Flew Said the Word What Word the Cow Said.” The participant, on which the countdown has stopped, comes up with a word, and in a similar way, the children pronounce each letter in turn, of which this word consists.

Hotball

Literacy education for preschoolers should take place not only in a playful way, but also with children's favorite toys. Among such intellectual entertainments, it is worth highlighting the "hot ball" - a riddle game. Children line up in two lines facing each other. The first player thinks of a word and pronounces its first syllable, for example "ate". Then he throws the ball to his friend from the opposite line, and he, having caught the toy, must pronounce the second syllable "ka". Variations are possible if one player says, for example, "ma". Another may continue it as "ma", "sha" or "shi", and then throw the ball further in order to hear the third syllable "na".

A preschool literacy program should be implemented systematically, without long breaks. Only in the case of constant development will children rise one step higher on the ladder of knowledge.
