Today, various methods of early development of babies are offered to the attention of parents. Those who are interested in innovations in this area have probably heard about the method of Nikolai Zaitsev, which allows you to teach a child at an early age not only reading and mathematics, but also some other sciences.
“Learning in the game” is Nikolay Zaitsev's method for lessons with young children, starting from 1, 5 years old. While learning this technique, there is no need to master the alphabet or some individual letters. Psychologists have found that even those children who speak poorly and do not perceive letters began to read syllables within 1, 5-2 months. Thanks to the effectiveness of such training, a lot of preschool institutions have switched to this methodology.
When Nikolai Zaitsev spent a long time with children, he came to the conclusion that the traditional study of the alphabet for children is not only not always clear, but also very harmful. Many parents and teachers, of course, will disagree, motivating this by the fact that "we taught, why our children cannot?"
The fact is that before, children were taught letters for 2 years, but not all children could read fluently by the third grade. First, the children are taught that there is a letter "A", and under it is a picture "Stork", and so all the letters. In the child's subconscious, the picture with the letter is added into one whole. Therefore, he does not understand well how to combine several pictures to make a word. In Zaitsev, you need to learn not letters, words, sounds, but syllables, which consist of a vowel and a consonant letter.
At first Zaitsev experimented with cards, then he came up with cubes. Why exactly them? Because for the youngest children, the perception of knowledge comes through play. With them, you can simply build a house and say what kind of syllables they are, and the child, even without knowing a single letter, remembers what he heard on a subconscious level, and begins to read them in a couple of days. It is only necessary to teach in an unobtrusive way, and only when the kid is in a good mood and has a desire to learn something new.
There are 52 cubes in a set, of which you can add almost all the words familiar to the baby. The set includes cubes of different sizes. Small cubes are soft warehouses. There are large cubes with solid storage. They can also be distinguished by color and material. There is one white cube in the set, which is responsible for punctuation marks.
The letters on the cubes also have different colors so that the child can distinguish them faster. Such cubes are not cheap, but if mom works hard, while still in position, she will be able to make such beauty herself. Nikolai Zaitsev claims that if you work with a child at least 2 times a day for 15-20 minutes, you can achieve great results, and at the age of 3 the child will already read fluently.
