Reading problems occur in most children. And it has already been proven that it is best to start teaching kids to read at the age of 1.5 to 3 years. It is during this period that they are actively developing intelligence and the brain.
That's just to do it is not so simple. Children are restless, active, they will be bored with the usual activities. What to do in this case? We resort to game methods.
Vocabulary
A4 sheets cut into 4 parts. Write separate short words on each sheet, for example: house, cat, chair, water, game, laziness, etc. Words should be familiar to the child.
Lay out the sheets on the table in columns. Now give your baby the usual fly swatter, even a newspaper or slippers will do, in general, everything that you usually use against flies. In addition to insect spray, naturally.
Now, when you call a word, an imaginary fly “sits” on the corresponding card on the table, which the baby needs to slam.
The game not only helps to learn words, but also contributes to the development of joints, as well as the strengthening of motor joints. And also such activity attracts the attention of the child.
The same method can be applied to the study of numbers.
For younger children, we replace the words with letters of the alphabet. The game goes on the same principle.
Type
Modern children are very fond of technology. They master phones, tablets, laptops very, very quickly. And it can be used for your own purposes.
Opens any text editor and teach kids to print! Just for parents and fun for kids.
Words should be printed in a column, increase the font in advance and enable Caps Lock so as not to spoil the eyesight of children. Then let each word be said out loud. But remember that this is not a typing lesson, but a game!
Find item
But this is far from an ordinary hidden object game. Prepare the usual stickers in advance and write on them the names of all the objects in the room, starting from the lamp and ending with a vase on the windowsill.
The choice of stickers should also be turned into a game. The main thing is that the kid himself tear off the sticker, and then look for the object and stick on it. Help your child read if he does not succeed.
The game also helps in recognizing the surrounding world. An older child can even be asked to describe the item that he found.
Slides
Do you know what cinematic film looks like? If you don’t remember, just imagine slides on your phone. How easily we brush them off, right? Now make slides for words.
We take a sheet of colored paper, in the center we write a short word, specially skipping one vowel. In the place where the letter should be, we make two cuts: one slightly higher than the vowel, and the other lower.
Then cut a strip of paper of the same color so that the width matches the length of the cut. With a slight indentation we write vowels on it. We put a strip in the slots and now you can, pulling at one of the ends, change the vowel in the word. Thus, the baby can choose the one that suits more.
When they get used to the game, they complicate it. Together, one vowel is removed two, and so on.
