Many parents are faced with the fact that a child does not read fast enough for their age. In the first class, this does not cause much of a problem. But in the future, the child may begin to lag far behind in school. Therefore, it is necessary to start working on the reading technique from the very moment when you notice that it is insufficient. This can be found out, for example, when checking. Every primary school teacher conducts them regularly.
It is necessary
- - split alphabet;
- - cubes with letters;
- - electronic book;
- - collections of tongue twisters:
- - a collection of exercises for articulatory gymnastics;
- - a computer with text editors;
- - registration at the school forum or in the children's social network.
Instructions
Step 1
Find out how your child actually reads. Typically, reading technique is determined by how quickly and clearly he reads aloud. There are children who, even in the first grade, read to themselves and perfectly understand what they have read, but hesitate and hesitate if they are asked to do it aloud. It is quite easy to figure it out. Let your child read the passage and ask what he understood. In this case, you don't have to worry too much, and the problem is solved with the help of the game. If you are used to reading fairy tales with your child in the evenings, switch roles. Now let him be the reader and you the listener.
Step 2
If a child does not read well both aloud and to himself, there may be several reasons for this. Perhaps he did not quite understand how the letters are formed into words. Perhaps the process of reading itself takes away so much energy from him that there is no longer any left for understanding the meaning. In this case, cubes with letters, cutting alphabets, games like "Scrabble" will help. But first, determine how well the child has developed phonemic hearing, and whether he knows how to distinguish a sound from a letter.
Step 3
Invite your student to do some exercises. Write a word that he knows well. Ask them to count how many letters are in it. This he will surely do with ease. Then ask to count the sounds. If this is problematic, explain that the letter is an icon, that the icon does not necessarily represent a sound. Offer to identify what vowel and consonant sounds are in the word, what sounds are pronounced softly. Repeat the exercise periodically. It is not directly related to the reading technique, the child will not even understand that you are concerned with how he reads, and, accordingly, will not get stuck.
Step 4
Sound models can be of great benefit. To learn how to compose them, an ordinary school notebook in a box and a set of pencils or felt-tip pens are enough. Agree on what color you will use for vowels and consonants. When the child learns to do this quickly and without mistakes, complicate the task. For example, suggest different colors for soft and hard consonants, sibilants, sibilants, etc.
Step 5
Make sure your child pronounces all sounds correctly. Even mild dyslexia can be important to reading technique. For example, if a child confuses two sounds, then while reading, he will involuntarily stumble when he needs to pronounce one of them. Consult with a speech therapist. It may take several sessions to get rid of this disadvantage.
Step 6
It is not uncommon for a child to speak very slowly. You can increase the rate of speech slightly. Use tongue twisters. Articulatory gymnastics will help in this case. Do not hope to completely re-educate your phlegmatic person, you will not be able to change nature, but it is quite possible to teach him to pronounce words a little faster.
Step 7
A person assimilates an action more easily when he realizes that he needs it or, at least, is interested. Reading exercises may seem boring or boring to your child. He must understand why he needs to read. He may not show interest in books. Identify what your child is hobbying for, and let him know that he can get the information he needs in books. At the same time, many modern children are suspicious of ordinary typographic books, but they may like electronic ones.
Step 8
You probably have a text editor on your computer. Invite your child to play. Type a word or phrase and offer to read. Then switch roles. Let the child types something, and you read, accurately pronouncing sounds. At first, the phrase may be completely meaningless, but in the words you will surely find a huge number of mistakes. Don't scold your student. He will very quickly understand that he is doing something wrong. It can be explained that the program most often underlines misspelled words or those that it does not know. It will also be useful to "teach" the text editor new words. But for this, the child must learn to type them correctly, and, accordingly, read well.
Step 9
Use modern communication technologies. Many parents consider the Internet a harmful activity that can distract students from their studies. In order for ont to be useful, they need to be used correctly. Social networks will also help in the development of reading techniques. Indeed, while communicating on the forum, the child needs to read the message, understand it and be able to respond, and this in itself is capable of making him read quickly. Choose a suitable resource, explain the rules of communication to your child, help to register and do not leave a new user unattended. Ask what new he learned on the forum or social network, with whom he met. You will not even notice how the child starts reading very quickly.
