It is necessary
- - alphabet or primer;

Instructions
Step 1
To easily teach a child to read, it is important to first instill in him a love of books. Make them accompany your baby from an early age. Keep books within reach of your little one. Although the child still does not understand everything, he will turn the pages, look at the pictures. Read him nursery rhymes, Russian folk tales, works of famous children's writers, poems. Love for books is laid precisely at this time. Make reading aloud with your family members a family tradition. Be an example for the crumbs: read it yourself.
Step 2
You can build training on one of the modern developmental methods that allow you to do this from infancy. Glen Doman's cards depict objects and their names that young children remember thanks to their good visual memory. Nikolai Zaitsev's methodology is based on training in the warehouses depicted on the cubes. Of these, the baby composes a word, gradually moving from writing to reading. You can start practicing from the age of two: adding words, singing tunes and the alphabet. Singing is an integral principle of the Zaitsev Method.
Step 3
You can teach a child to read using any technique, especially if the child is ready for this and wants to learn himself. As a rule, children themselves begin to show an active interest in letters from the age of three. It is at this time that it is easier to teach reading than at an older age. Draw letters with pencils and paints on paper, fingers on scattered cereals or sand, sculpt from plasticine. Try to lay them out of beads, large mosaics, counting sticks. Exercises like these help your baby to memorize the alphabet better. Get an alphabet or a primer with beautiful illustrations, show your child how syllables are formed, how letters can be friends with each other. Remember that you need to deal with three-year-olds little by little - several times a day for 5-7 minutes. The main thing is that these activities are interesting and bring joy to the child. And praise your baby more often!
