The skill of reading is fundamental not only for schooling, but also for the rest of a person’s life, writes Lisa. On how fast and how well a first-grader learns to read, his success will depend directly on in all his school years. That is why today we decided to tell responsible parents how to teach a child to read quickly and correctly, so that they could help their baby.

Recommendations for preschool children

When can I learn?

If earlier most parents thought about teaching children to read only in the year of enrollment, but not before, now many moms and dads want to inculcate the most important skill almost from the first years of life. If you consider yourself to be such, there are several important factors to consider.

First of all, for learning a child must be fluent in oral speech. Observe the vocabulary and pronunciation of your baby, as well as how he makes up the sentences. The success of all early learning depends on this.

It is also important how he perceives information by ear. The preschool reading of fairy tales and other books for children out loud, which, fortunately, most parents practice helps in this.

In addition to all of the above, the crumbs should have a basic understanding in such a category as direction. Observe how well he distinguishes the right and left sides, the top and the bottom.

It is also important how much the child himself is interested in books in general. After all, there are absolutely restless children who cannot be forced to sit with a book even for a quarter of an hour.

If everything is in order, and you are sure that early learning will be really useful for your kid, you can start training.

The syllable reading technique

  1. Do not start the process by memorizing letter titles. It’s better to go straight to the sounds. The fact is that it will be very hard for a child at the age of four or five to understand that, for example, the letter “es” in words reads like a sound “c” and so on.
  2. After the baby has learned to understand and "read" individual sounds, you can proceed to the next stage.
  3. Next, separate syllables should be disassembled with the child, from which it will be quite easy to make repeated words later: “mom”, “dad”, “uncle”.
  4. Then start typing other syllables as well. Try to build simple words on the principle of attaching a letter to a whole syllable: "Vo-t", "Do-m", "Le-v", "Ko-t", Zhu-k ".
  5. After mastering this material, you can gradually include more complex words, and then make elementary sentences from them.

At this age, it is best to build learning as a game process: only in this way can children really become interested in and spend as much time as they need to achieve the right effect. Thus, it will be great if you buy cubes with letters, magnetic alphabet, or use simple printed cards with letters from which you can make words, and then a whole sentence.

There is another option to involve the baby in the process using the keyboard. Since the kids love to repeat the actions of adults, the five-year plan is quite possible to sit at the computer, open a text editor and offer him to type some simple combinations of letters and syllables.

Even if at the first stage it will be just a game, the crumb will quickly get involved and will want to print more and more new combinations. After each "class" it is worth printing the sheet and giving it to the child as a keepsake so that he can read the printed text again and again.

Motivating a baby at this age is not easy, as he rarely understands why you still need to learn to read. You can involve him in reading his favorite children’s books by himself, as well as writing simple notes and letters to him. For example, a letter from Santa Claus will be an occasion for him to make an effort and read the content.

It is important to remember that the result will only be visible if classes are held regularly and last for at least 15 − 20 minutes daily. If your student is restless, you can learn not only at home: try to attract the kid to read the signs and advertising banners on the street. Offer him to read an announcement that is easy for him to understand, and even if he did not cope with the task, be sure to explain how this or that word actually sounds.

It is equally important not to give up classes, even when success is already visible. Offer the child more and more interesting “puzzles”, gradually making the process all the more complex. Thus, the kid will already possess the essential skill, which will simplify the whole school process of learning, by the first.

We train a first grader and second grader

The technique of fast reading aloud is practiced by teachers of most Russian primary schools. However, the first half of the year in the classroom is enough stress for the first-grader, so you should wait a little while in the first months of homework.

When you see that the child is already quite strong and can be engaged not only in school, but also at home, you can start training. It is better to make them short (no more than a quarter of an hour), but daily. It is important that the first-grader feels well, is rested enough, well fed and has a positive attitude towards the lesson.

So, how do you teach a child to read 7 − 8 in years quickly? We identified a few simple exercises and recommendations that can help him in this.

Practice syllables

To get started, buy or print and hang a syllable table on the wall. Exercises can be started in several rows or columns (2 − 3 per day). It is important that the student learn to pronounce the syllables quickly and carefully, without hesitation. It should gradually accelerate the pace and change the sequence of rows / columns.

Warm-up exercise "Choir of voices"

At the beginning of each lesson, you can perform choral reading. Print out a sheet of paper with simple verses in a rather large font or sayings - patters. Read them first in chorus 2 − 3 times, gradually increasing the tempo. Then let the first-grader read the same thing out loud on average.

Positive attitude

Next, give the chad an unfamiliar text that he can master and read aloud. To begin with, mark one minute, during which the first grader will read it for the first time. Put a mark where he finished. Then take a break in two or three minutes and ask him to read the same text again. Since the material is already familiar enough, he will read it faster, which will undoubtedly create a positive attitude.

Exercise "In tow"

The following exercise must be performed in conjunction with any of the parents. The text is read with him. At the same time, an adult should set such a pace so that the child would not be too difficult or, conversely, too easy. It is necessary to read three or four sentences in chorus at the same pace, after which both are silent, but continue to read to themselves. The student will, by inertia, try to keep the pace set by the adult. After a couple of sentences, the parent again begins to say the text out loud. If the first-grader has not slowed down, then he will be able to read the same sentence with an adult.

It is not necessary, however, to expect that everything will turn out instantly. Perhaps the first few times the student will be lost and miss any part of the text material. It is important not to scold the child, but to take the following measures:

  • First, slow down a bit so that the baby can catch up with the adult;
  • Try to read the same piece of text two or three times;
  • Then try to gradually accelerate the pace, while not driving the kid into a state of stress.
  • It is very important to gain patience, and then sooner or later everything will turn out.

Tips for older children

How to teach a child 10 years to read well and quickly? At this age, children, as a rule, are already able to read quite complex texts independently and to perceive them perfectly. However, if you still want to develop fast reading skills in your child, try the following effective methods.

Try wave reading. Chad is given a passage that he can read out loud without difficulty. Next, the text material is flipped to 90 degrees and the passage is read again. After that, you need to turn the passage upside down (180 degrees) and again give the child to read it. At first, not everything will turn out as good as we would like, but gradually the student will tune in and be able to cope well with the task.

Practice retelling with a student. To do this, read to him a small excerpt (no more than 10 sentences) and suggest retelling the general idea. This class perfectly trains memory and develops the skills of coherent and beautiful speech.

Another option is an oral essay. In this case, the student is given a topic and is invited to discuss it in several sentences (usually 10 − 12). It is important to follow the speech and relatedness of the received text.

At any age, a couple of tips remain relevant to learning: do not force the student to read and forcibly abuse him. It is necessary to create the form of the game as much as possible in the process, and also to give the child the correct motivation. If the baby doesn’t do something, never scold or embarrass him. It is better to draw conclusions and try to better study and consolidate those moments that are not very good at the moment. Success depends primarily on parental attention, patience and understanding.
