The first child's smile is the most sincere and pure. The first hesitant steps of barely stronger legs are incredibly touching. The baby's first words are the most meaningful. Parents are always very proud of the child who day after day comprehends the world around him. And it is in their power to contribute in every possible way to its successful development, including intellectual development.
Instructions
Step 1
The baby begins to pronounce his first sounds from about two months. From this age, the child should be taught to speak. Early communication with a child should not consist of words, let alone sentences, use a language that is more understandable for him - babbling. At this stage, your baby wants to imitate your sounds. It is advisable to immediately work on the development of fine motor skills. After all, the center of coordination of the movement of the fingers and the speech center are located so close that the active development of the former entails no less active development of the latter. In other words, the sooner the baby learns to use his fingers, the easier it will be for him to master speech skills.
Step 2
At the age of 6 to 12 months, the child moves from listening to trying to reproduce what he has heard. Make it a rule to accompany your every action with comments. Noticing that the baby is fascinated by something happening, immediately describe out loud the event that riveted his attention. Thus, a certain connection between words and their meanings will be formed in the child's brain.
Step 3
By about one year old, the baby perfectly learns sign language. Your task is to force him to replace gestures with words during the game. Therefore, do not rush to immediately follow his "instructions", taking, for example, a toy from the top shelf. Specify which one he needs: a car or a bear, big or small, etc.
Step 4
Do not be lazy to read poems and fairy tales to your child, while discussing the illustrations in detail, describe in detail the plots that are reflected in the pictures.
Step 5
From the age of two, the baby moves from the process of accumulating a passive vocabulary to trying to find active use for it. At this stage, speech should be associated with movement coordination. To do this, of course, is better through the game. For example, play "Give me …" The rules are extremely simple: name or describe the object that the baby should give you, which he happily does.
Step 6
At the same age, you can start teaching your baby to read. It is recommended to start with cubes, each face of which must contain not only a letter, but also a graphic representation of a word-symbol. The letters should be pronounced as they sound in the composition of words. For example, the letter "L" is "le", not "el", "K" is "k", not "ka", etc. Do not rush the child, it is quite enough to study the letter in a couple of days, but do not forget to periodically repeat the material covered.
Step 7
After going over all the letters on the cubes, change the visuals. The fact is that, in the child's understanding, letters will be associated with certain images, so get blocks with other symbols, cards, or even a primer in pictures.
Step 8
From about three years old, the baby is ready to start reading. To get started, you can use all the same visual aids. Make up any syllable from letters in which a consonant is followed by a vowel, for example, "ka" or "pa", then swap the letters and chant each syllable. Then consider syllables with two consonants and a vowel.
Step 9
Having studied the available blocks and cards, purchase a special book in which all the text is divided into syllables. Good tutorials have a graphic after every simple sentence. Thus, the kid will be able to independently control the correctness of reading. When the child learns to confidently read syllables, present him with a real children's book, where words are written as in adult books, without being divided into syllables.
