Reading for children by syllables. Short texts to read

Learning to read in syllables - this stage in teaching children to read is one of the most important and difficult. Often parents simply do not know how to teach a child to pronounce two letters together and get stuck on it for a long time. Tired of the endless repetition of "ME and A will be MA", the child quickly loses interest, and learning to read turns into torment for the whole family. As a result, children who already know letters from the age of two or three cannot even read simple words by the age of five, not to mention reading sentences and books.

What to do next when the child has memorized the letters? Let's make a reservation right away that teaching a preschooler to read syllables can be started even BEFORE he has mastered the entire alphabet (moreover, some teachers insist that you need to move on to syllables as quickly as possible, without waiting for all the letters to be studied). But those letters that we will combine into syllables, the child must name without hesitation.

In order to start learning to read by syllables, it is enough for a child to know 3-4 vowels and a few consonants. First of all, take those consonants that can be pulled (S, Z, L, M, N, V, F), this will help teach the child the continuous pronunciation of the syllable. And this is a fundamentally important point.

So, let's consider a few, in our opinion, the most effective methods that modern teachers offer for teaching a child to fold letters into syllables.

1. We play "Engines"

(a game from the manual by E. Baranova, O. Razumovskaya "How to teach your child to read").

Instead of boring cramming, invite your child to "ride the train." All consonants are written on the rails along which our trailers will go, and vowels are written on the trailers themselves. We place the trailer on the rails so that a consonant appears in the window, and we name which station we got (for example, BA). Next, we move the trailer down the rails - to the next consonant and read the syllable that appears.

There is a similar guide in cards "Game" Steam locomotive. We read syllables. from E. Sataeva

This game is good because the child does not need to be specially explained how to add syllables. It is enough to say: “Now we will ride the letter A, she will be our passenger, name all the stations at which we will make a stop.” To begin with, “ride” yourself - let the child move the trailer along the rails, and you loudly and clearly call the “stations”: BA, VA, GA, YES, ZHA, ZA, etc. Then invite your child to take turns doing this with you. During the game, listening to you, children easily grasp how to pronounce two sounds together. For the third time, the child will “ride” himself without much difficulty.

If the child does not know all the letters, stop only at those “stations” that are familiar to him. Next, we change the wagon. Now we roll the letters O, U, S. If the child can easily cope with the task, we complicate the task. For example, we ride at speed - timing which of the wagons will reach the end of the path first. Or another option: stopping at the station, the child must name not only the syllable, but also the words starting with this syllable (BO - barrel, side, Borya; VO - wolf, air, eight; GO - city, golfs, guests; DO - rain, daughter, boards, etc.).

Please note that with this game you can practice reading not only open syllables (with a vowel at the end), but also closed ones (with a consonant at the end).

To do this, we take trailers where the vowels are written in front of the window, and act in the same way. Now we have a letter on the trailer not a passenger, but a driver, she is the main one, she is in front. First read the resulting “stations” with closed syllables yourself: AB, AB, AG, AD, AZH, AZ, etc., then offer the child a “ride”.

Remember that in this and other exercises, we first practice adding syllables with first-row vowels (A, O, E, Y, Y), and then we introduce second-row vowels (I, E, E, Yu, I) - the so-called "iotized" vowels, which make the sound that precedes them soft.

When the child is good at reading individual tracks with syllables, alternate trailers with passengers and drivers, without prompting which trailer we will ride. This will help the child learn to clearly see exactly where the vowel is in the syllable (the syllable begins with it or ends with it). At first, learning to read by syllables in a child may have difficulties with this.

2. "Run" from one letter to another

(from "ABC for kids" by O. Zhukova)

This is a visual exercise that will help the child learn to pronounce two letters together.

Before us is a path from one letter to another. To overcome it, you need to pull the first letter until the finger that we are leading along the path reaches the second letter. The main thing we are working on in this exercise is that there is no pause between the first and second sound. In order to make it more interesting to study, replace your finger with a figure of any animal / little man - let him run along the path and connect two letters.

("ABC book for kids" by E. Bakhtina, "Russian alphabet" by O. Zhukova and others).

Many authors of primers and alphabets use animated images of letters that need to be folded into a syllable - they are friends, walk together in pairs, pull each other through obstacles. The main thing in such tasks, as in the previous exercise, is to name two letters together so that the two girlfriend letters stay together.

To use this technique, you do not even need special manuals or primers. Print out several figures of boys and girls (animals, fairy-tale or fictional characters), write a letter on each of them. Let consonants be written on the figures of boys, and vowels on the figures of girls. Make friends with the kids. Check with your child that boys and girls or two girls can be friends, but it is not possible to make friends with two boys (pronounce two consonants together). Change pairs, put girls first in them, and then boys.

Read the syllables first in one order, then in reverse.

These few tricks are quite enough to teach a child to put two letters into a syllable. And learning in the form of a game will allow you to avoid cramming and boring repetition of the same thing.

4. Games to consolidate the skill of adding letters

- Syllabic Lotto

It is very easy to make them yourself, for this you need to pick up a few pictures - 6 for each card and print the corresponding syllables.

  • Help will help you “Syllables. Choose a picture according to the first syllable BA-, VA-, MA-, SA-, TA-. Educational lotto games. GEF DO "E. V. Vasilyeva- there are a few more tutorials in this series
  • “Letters, syllables and words. Lotto with verification” by A. Anikushena
  • Similar exercises are in the book. "Syllabic tables. GEF "N. Neshchaeva

- Shop game

Lay out toy goods or pictures with their images on the counter (for example, FISH-ba, DY-nya, PI-horns, BU-lka, YaB-loki, MYA-so). Prepare "money" - pieces of paper with the name of the first syllables of these words. A child can buy goods only for those “bills” on which the correct syllable is written.

Make an album with your child’s own hands, in which a syllable will be written on one page of the spread, and objects whose name begins with this syllable will be written on the other. Periodically review and supplement these albums. For more effective learning to read, close one or the other half of the spread (so that the child does not have extra clues when naming a syllable or choosing words for a particular syllable).

This will help you "Cards for sound and syllabic analysis of words."

- Game in the airfield (garages)

We write syllables large on sheets of paper, lay them out around the room. These will be different airfields (garages) in our game. The child takes a toy plane (car), and the adult commands - on which airfield (in which garage) you need to land the plane (park the car).

For this exercise, Zaitsev cubes or any cards with syllables are suitable (you can make them in the form of traces). We build a long path from them - from one end of the room to the other. Choose two figurines / toys. You play one, the child plays the other. Roll the dice - take turns with your figures on the cards for as many moves as fell on the dice. Stepping on each card, name the syllable written on it.

For this game, you can also use various "walkers" by writing syllables in circles on the playing field.

5. Reading simple words by syllables

Simultaneously with the development of syllables, we begin to read simple words (of three or four letters). For clarity, so that the child understands what parts the word consists of, which letters should be read together and which separately, we recommend that the first words be composed of cards with syllables / individual letters or graphically divide the word into parts.

Words of two syllables can be written on pictures consisting of two parts. Pictures are easier to understand (the child is more willing to read the words written on them than just columns of words), plus it is clearly visible into which parts a word can be broken down when reading it syllable by syllable.

Increase the difficulty gradually: start with words consisting of one syllable (UM, OH, EM, UZH, Hedgehog) or two identical syllables: MOM, UNCLE, DAD, NANNYA. Then proceed to reading the words of three letters (closed syllable + consonant): BAL, SON, LAK, BOK, HOUSE.

You need to understand that even if a child pronounces all the syllables in a word correctly, this does not mean that he will immediately be able to meaningfully put them into a word. Be patient. If a child has difficulty reading words of 3-4 letters, do not proceed to reading longer words and especially sentences.

Be prepared for the fact that the child will freely begin to read words only after he has automated the skill of adding letters into syllables. Until this happens, periodically return to working out syllables.

And, most importantly, remember that any learning should be a joy - for both parents and children!

Philologist, teacher of Russian language and literature, teacher of preschool education
Svetlana Zyryanova

A child who has learned to put sounds into syllables, syllables into words, and words into sentences needs to improve his reading skill through systematic training. But reading is a rather laborious and monotonous activity, and many children lose interest in it. Therefore we offer small texts words are divided into syllables.

At first read the story to your child, and if it is long, you can read its beginning. This will interest the child. Then invite him to read the text. After each work, questions are given that help the child to understand what they have read and comprehend the basic information that they have learned from the text. After discussing the text, suggest reading it again.

It is advisable to use the example of these works to show children the genre features of poems, stories and fairy tales.

A genre of oral fiction that contains events unusual in the everyday sense (fantastic, miraculous or worldly) and is distinguished by a special compositional and stylistic construction. In fairy tales there are fairy-tale characters, talking animals, unprecedented miracles happen.

Poem- a small piece of poetry in verse. The verses are read smoothly and musically, they have rhythm, meter and rhyme.

Story- small literary form; a narrative work of small volume with a small number of characters and the short duration of the events depicted. The story describes a case from life, some bright event that really happened or could happen.

In order not to discourage reading, do not force him to read texts that are uninteresting and inaccessible to his understanding. It happens that a child takes a book he knows and reads it “by heart”. Necessarily read to your child every day poems, fairy tales, stories.

Daily reading enhances emotionality, develops culture, horizons and intellect, helps to understand human experience.

In order for a child to master reading, one needs patience, time and high-quality short simple texts for reading, which the child himself could read in syllables, understand and retell. We offer you a selection of such texts.
For your convenience, the number of words is written next to each text so that you choose the text that is optimal in terms of volume for your child. Each text is available for download in *.docx format in large print by syllables. At the initial stage, children should be offered only texts divided into syllables, printed in large letters. Some texts are accompanied by a small coloring picture, as a small prize for reading the text.

Teaching a child to read. We read the words. Transition from reading syllables to reading words. Games for learning to read.

Kolya confidently reads the name on the locker in the kindergarten: "DI-A-NA". Mom is happy. And the teacher, observing this picture, asks: "What happened?" To the mother's surprise, Kolya replies: "GLEB!"

How so? Did the child read the word and did not understand it? Yes, merging letters into syllables, and syllables into words, and understanding the meaning inherent in these symbols are two different things. And to perform two tasks - to read and understand - at the same time is very difficult for a preschooler. That is why, after the child has mastered the number of syllables sufficient to compose words, it is necessary to purposefully engage in teaching meaningful reading. This period is sometimes long, but thanks to a variety of games and exercises with words, it can become interesting and exciting for the child.

chains of words

When a child first begins to read words, a situation may arise of repeating the first syllables of a word (the first when reading two-syllable words, the first and second when reading three-syllable words ...). This is because the repetition of what has been read contributes to its better comprehension and does not allow forgetting the first syllable by the time the last one is read ("KA, SHA, KA-SHA" or "MA, SHI, MASHI, NA, MASHI-NA") -

When moving from reading syllable fusions to reading words, it can be useful to read chains of words where the end of the previous word is the beginning of the next, for example: LI-SA-MA-KI-NO-SI-LA. When a child reads such a chain, he does not have to start by reading the first syllable each time, since this syllable has just been read. This makes reading easier and therefore more interesting.

It can be difficult for a child to read such chains in a book, because there are too many signs in his field of attention. To facilitate reading, it is necessary to close the "excess", you can cut out a "window" in a sheet of paper and, gradually moving it around the page of the book, open the syllables you need to read. Or write syllables on cards and lay them out in pairs, as you read a chain of words, remove the first syllable and add a new second one.

Insert a letter

At the beginning of learning to read words, this game is very effective. You will need pictures for three-letter words (BOW, HOUSE, SMOKE, CAT, KIT, MOUTH, FOREST, MOSS, MAK, etc.). Sign the first and last letter under the pictures, leave a space instead of a vowel. Invite the child to insert the missing letter into the word (it is better to use letters from the split alphabet, because if the child enters the letter, you will not be able to use this card a second time, and such a need may arise).


The child performs a task with the word HOUSE like this: "I will put A, it turns out LADY, no, such a word does not fit the picture, I put U, it turns out DUM, it also does not fit! HOME! DO-O-OM! There should be the letter O!" Thus, in this game, the child learns meaningful reading, understands the semantic meaning of letters, and develops phonemic hearing.

Make a word from syllables

This game does not require pictures. Cut a two-syllable word into syllables, for example: PE, KA. Invite the child to collect a word from syllables, he determines the sequence himself. A child can get both KARE and RIVER. To choose the correct sequence of syllables, the child comprehends their combination.

It is interesting to do the same in the future with three-syllable words, for example: MO-LO-KO (the child may get options: KOLOMO, KOMOLO, LOKOMO, LOMOKO, MOKOLO), or DO-RO-GI (you can get "words": GIRODO, GIDORO, ROGIDO, RODOGI, DOGIRO).

Picture + word

The most common word game. Often sold ready-made. In the lotto mode, an adult shows the child pictures, the child takes them for himself if there is a corresponding word on his card.

Often this version of the game is found in workbooks for teaching reading. The task involves reading the word and connecting it with the corresponding picture.


Please note that in such games it is not necessary to read the last word, the answer is the only remaining option. This means that in the above version of the task, the child read not three, but two words!

If you yourself will make similar or other games, consider this fact: in order for the game to become more intense, there should be an extra answer option. For example, like this:


finish the word

For this game, you will need any pictures (from lotto, from magazines, postcards). The beginnings of words denoting the objects depicted on them are attached to the pictures (glued, on a paper clip). The endings of the words are laid out in front of the child. You need to pick the right ending. Don't forget the extra ending!


A variant of the game without pictures: the beginnings of words related to one generalizing concept (clothes, shoes, dishes, furniture, birds, seasons ...) are written on the card, the endings of these words are written separately on cut cards.


After correctly compiling and reading, ask the child how you can call it all in one word.

Another option for the task: to choose the appropriate second of the two proposed options for the first syllable. For example: connect the syllables correctly, guess the names of the children.

Read the word by its half

Exercises similar to recognizing letters and reading syllables in their halves help prevent various errors in writing.

The child reads the word in its upper or lower half, then finds the second half, connects and checks the correctness of the assignment.

To make the exercise more intense, do not forget about extra answers (add one unpaired half of the word).


Make a word from letters

This exercise is inherently similar to composing words from syllables, but it can be carried out only when the child confidently voices syllables-fusions when reading, does not “slide” into letter-by-letter reading.

For the exercise, the letters of the split alphabet are used. The child needs to compose a word from the proposed, pre-prepared by an adult, set of letters. For example: O, M, T, S. The child, sorting through the options for the order of the letters, comprehending them, chooses the correct answer.

A more complicated version of the exercise: folding two words at the same time. Since there are a lot of options for the order of letters, it is advisable to specify words related to one generalizing concept, at the beginning of the exercise to declare this generalization. For example: make up the name of two flowers from these letters - A, O, M, P, 3, K, A (ROSE, MAC).

Pick a word

All exercises of this type are based on the selection of logically related pairs / groups of words. To establish logical connections between words, a necessary condition is the complete comprehension of the words read. The exercise can be filled with different content, the common form is the organization: an adult thinks in advance and writes words on separate cards, then invites the child to read and divide the words into groups / pairs, for example:

Choose dishes and furniture (plants and animals, vegetables and fruits, edible and inedible, etc.);

What is poured into a mug, and what into a plate? (tea, borscht, cabbage soup, milk, coffee, hodgepodge, cocoa, juice...);

Choose for each word from the first group the appropriate one from the second group (spring - stream, winter - snow, summer - heat, autumn - mushrooms; clown - circus, doctor - hospital, seller - shop, teacher - school, cook - restaurant and etc.);

Choose for each word as many as possible that are appropriate in meaning (flies - a butterfly, a bird, an airplane, time; writes - a pencil, a pen, a student; jumps - a bunny, a grasshopper, a girl; grows - a flower, a mushroom, a child, etc.) ;

Pick up the opposite words (fast - slow, wide - narrow, kind - evil, cold - hot, young - old ...).

Such tasks develop the logical thinking of the child. For older preschoolers, they are interesting and useful.

Isographs

An isograph is a picture made with all the letters of the word that denotes this picture. The arrangement of the letters resembles the image of the subject in question. When guessing the isograph, the child focuses on the image, then checks the correspondence of the set of letters to the intended guess.

Geoboards

In large lined squares, write horizontally and vertically words related to a common topic (vegetables, fruits, home, school, toys, names ...). Cells that remain empty, fill in any letters. The child needs to find and read the words that you "hid". If it is difficult for a child to search for words on a topic, ask them to find the words you call or think of ("Find the word MERMAID", "Find the name of the hero who lives on the roof"). The task develops the meaningfulness of reading, since in addition to the guess words, the child can see meaningless words in the table - AMAL, LYABA, OLAB, etc.

It can also be difficult for children to read long words, in which case the following technique will help: divide the word into syllables, write down the last syllable, let the child read it, add the previous one, let it read two syllables, then add one syllable until the whole word is read (SIT, CO-SIT, LE-SO-SIT, PY-LE-SO-SIT, VACUUM CLEANER). This method of assistance eliminates the wrong "thinking out" of the word. Compare: if you read a word, adding one syllable, starting from the beginning, the child, most likely, will not read the word to the end, but guess about the end of the word (PY, PY-LE, DUST-SO, VACUUM CLEANER? VACUUM CLEANER? VACUUM CLEANER? .. .).

Pay attention to the words that your alphabet or primer suggests for reading. Sometimes the authors, in pursuit of the number of words that can be made up from the letters already presented on the pages of the manual, offer children to read words like: POMP, PHASE, SINS, PYZH, KUSH. It may be more rational to omit these difficult-to-understand words and, instead of reading them, do one of the above exercises to form meaningful reading.

Teach meaningful reading. It is better to read less, but to understand what you read about.

For the formation of meaningful reading, only the material of the alphabet is not enough; use a variety of additional games and exercises.

If a child, when reading words, “slips” into letter-by-letter reading, it is necessary to intensify work with the syllable table, to consolidate the skill of recognizing the syllable as a unit of reading.

If it is difficult for a child to determine the place of fusion in a syllable, at first help him see the syllable-fusion.

When preparing games and exercises, do not forget about the "extra" answer option, then the intensity of the exercise will be much higher.

Do not be afraid to linger at this stage longer, the delay is more than compensated for in the subsequent stages of the formation of reading skills.

Other publications on the topic of this article:

you will find online primer (alphabet), games with letters, games for learning to read syllables, games with words and whole sentences, texts for reading. Bright, colorful pictures, a playful presentation of the material will make classes on teaching reading to preschoolers not only useful, but also interesting.

Your child is about 5 years old and you want to teach him to read. The tips and tricks in this article will help you do just that.

What time do children start reading by syllables?

Today's requirements for a child going to the first grade include various skills and abilities, including the ability to read. That is, it is assumed that by the age of 6 - 7 the child is already at the very least, but knows how to read.

  • The process of actively teaching a child to read is best to start at the age of 5, when the baby already understands a lot and knows the letters. Many parents show the child a letter, voice it, show images whose names begin with this letter.
  • The active and inquisitive memory of a child at this age helps him remember everything quickly. For example, mom or dad can show the letter M or P and say that this is mom's letter, while you need to pronounce it clearly: Mom. But this is dad's letter: PaPa
  • Fortunately, for teaching a child letters, they came up with a lot of various benefits - from traditional cubes to magnets on boards or refrigerators. This is about letters.

But what about syllables? After all, MaMa or PaPa are already syllables, and the child must realize this. So, we begin the process of actively teaching a five-year-old child reading skills.

How to teach a child to read in syllables?

IMPORTANT: At the initial stage, it is better to avoid choosing words that have sounds that the child still cannot pronounce, for example, [r], [w], [u]

It is necessary to show the child on cards or on cubes that MA-MA is made up of the letters M and A, which together give MA.

Blocks with letters are faithful assistants in learning to read.

  • M + A = MA
  • M + O = MO
  • M + E = ME
  • M + I = MI
  • M + Y = MU
  • M + Z = MY

This is to avoid a common mistake.

IMPORTANT: This mistake is that some parents teach the child the alphabet and at the same time, showing the letter, call it the way it is called in the alphabet. In the initial teaching of reading, letters should be named based on the sounds they give, for example, we teach a child that M is not [uh], but [M], etc.

Reading open syllables in some methods is called reading with fusion syllables, that is, a consonant + a vowel or a soft sign. However, you should not teach your child all the two hundred syllables of fusion that are in the Russian language.

Let the child just get used to the fact that this is possible, that the letters known to him can be put together, then you will get words, short at first, then, when the child is already used to them and feels confident, you can move on to trisyllabic and polysyllabic words, as well as teaching the reading of closed syllables. So:

  • start with open syllables
  • add up syllables of confluence
  • make short simple words from syllables
  • we choose consonants that are not difficult for the child, which he already knows how to clearly pronounce

How to quickly teach a child to read in syllables?

  • There is no and cannot be a single recipe for how to quickly teach a child to read by syllables. After all, each of them is individual in his perception, in his mental activity, in his ability to concentrate, and so on.
  • And parents should in no case be complex about the fact that a boy or girl from a common playground or from a kindergarten group already knows how to read in syllables, but your baby is not yet. You devote time to his training, you don’t get angry at the child because he or she cannot sit still, but only think how to sneak away to your toys
  • You are persistent and regularly come up with different game situations for your child, how can you read with him? If yes, then everything is fine. The kid will learn to read syllables and put them into words, it's so interesting

How to teach a child to read by syllables at home?

Of course, the environment in the developmental group or class that your child attends contributes to the fact that the baby is more focused on learning, that he tries to imitate the child sitting next to him, or even joins the competitive process.

However, such activities are not enough and it is necessary to engage with the child at home.

It’s good if parents can sit the child to study and themselves have the patience to teach the baby. You can take the classic primer N.S. Zhukova and gradually show how syllables are read. This action teaches the child discipline and the fact that he knows that there is a time for play, and there is a time for study.
But if suddenly this does not work out, then you can teach the child to read syllables in a playful way. For example, mom is cooking in the kitchen, the baby is sitting at the table and laying out cubes or cards. Mom leads the process: show me the letter M, and now show me the letter A. Now these letters have become friends and began to play and sing together MA-MA. Then let the child “make friends” with other vowels with the letter M. And so gradually he will learn the syllables.

A program to teach a child to read in syllables

Open syllables are learned. Now you need to move on to more complex, non-singing, closed syllables, those that end in a consonant: CAT, MOUTH. And in this case, these are not just syllables, these are already whole words!
And, again, you need to start the reading process with simple words.

Teachers have developed various methods and programs for teaching children to read. Among them:

  • the already mentioned classic primer by N.S. Zhukova
  • the technique of O. and S. Fedin, based on the initial teaching of the child to first "read in the mind", then move on to "paper" reading (their book "How to teach a child to read")
  • method of teaching reading by Zaitsev's cubes
  • the technique of the American scientist-teacher Doman with its principle of memorizing whole words
  • various computer programs and video tutorials where you need to arrange jumping and scattered letters and organize them into words, restore words by letter halves

Games to teach a child to read by syllables

  1. You need to prepare several pictures that show different objects or animals. Under the pictures, you can write the beginning of the word, for example, KOSH. Separately, you need to prepare cards with syllable-endings of words so that the child selects the desired ending, for example, KOSH-, and the child then selects - KA = CAT
  2. On two sets of cards, write any long words that the child understands, for example, TURTLE; RASPBERRIES. One card with the word leave whole. The child will see and read the word on it. On another card, close or paint over or cut out any syllable. Ask the child to restore it from memory
  3. Play "caterpillar" or "snake". For syllables, draw a new section. The adult starts the word and writes it down in the "snake" section (like a chain word). There remains one last syllable that the child must learn and pronounce. The kid can finish it or (say it, and the adult will write it down and show it to the child)
  4. Play the confusion. Write the words in syllables on the cards. Cut out the cards. Match the initial syllable with the necessary subsequent syllables until the child understands that the result is a real word, and not confusion
  5. Write individual words on the pieces of paper and match them with images or the objects themselves. The kid must find a written word that matches the image or object, for example, a ball, a top, a boat, a doll, and so on. When the child has found the image, let him read the word itself.
  6. Game "Catch the letter". Write the word, leaving room for one letter. Explain to the baby that the letter wanted to run away, and his (baby) task is to find the letter, catch it and put it in its place to make a word. For example, BEGEM_T. The kid must guess that the letter O wanted to run away

Exercises to teach a child to read in syllables

It is better to learn syllables and reading using vowels, voiced consonants and sonorous sounds, that is, those that can be stretched out, for example, LllOoooshad, etc.
At a more advanced stage of learning to read and for older children, tasks can be offered:

  1. On paper, write in a column the beginning of the words, and separately on the cards their endings, mixing the cards. For example, SOBA-
    DERE-
    MASHI-
    PES-, and on the cards - VO, - OK, - KA; - ON THE.
  2. On paper with cells, encrypt the words by placing them horizontally and diluting with other letters, for example,
    prtree
    flower
    gschlistok
    Beforehand, explain to the child that these will be words related to a topic, for example, a tree / plants. Speak to him the words that you encrypted, and then let the child find them among the letters. For older children, a task is suitable when they themselves look for encrypted words, without first pronouncing.

How to teach a child to read in syllables? Video lessons

Video Lesson #1

Video Lesson #2

Video Lesson #3

Children should be taught to read from a young age. The child should know that there are books, and there are many, many interesting things in the books: fairy tales about princesses and monsters, and adventures, and stories about animals, and various counting rhymes, talkers.

At first, parents read to the baby, but the baby can already play with special waterproof and non-torn books. It is pleasant for him to hear his native voice and to pick at a little book.
Then he leafs through books and looks at bright pictures. Parents read to him again, and the kid watches how everything they read to him is shown in the picture. He remembers everything well, and then, not yet able to read, he can already reproduce the content from the pictures, pretending to have read it on his own.
Then parents show and tell the kid about letters, syllables, teach him to read. These are all processes that all children go through. Some earlier, some later. Do not chase your baby, do not force him to read, but teach him playfully, regularly and patiently.
