The best time for increase in children's literacy is the early children's age.
Reading
For a start mom has to read to the child (or any other close relative). The child will listen to fairy tales and verses, perceiving and copying sounds of the native speech. Later by means of the alphabet there will be visual associations caused by bright pictures. As soon as the child learns to read, his lexicon will begin to extend and there will be an automatic storing of competent writing of words.
Word games
That time in queue, the road or in the course of any other expectation did not vanish in vain, and passed most interestingly and it is useful, it is possible to play words. It can be rhymes, games to the cities, a request to call the words beginning with certain syllables or to make offers in which each word begins on a certain letter of the alphabet.
Crossword puzzles

Word games on paper

For example, the gallows, "Field of wonders", drawing up short words of one big, a snake – writing of a long chain of words from which each word will begin on the last letter of previous.
Posters and posters on a wall
During training in reading the child regularly has to pay attention to letters that they were better remembered. And together with letters also new words will be remembered that will lead to increase in a lexicon. On walls it is possible to hang out various posters and posters on which there are images and signatures to them. Subjects can be various – from flowers and animals to means of transport and geometrical firms. Such posters will become the ideal assistant for a ratio of a visual image how the word is written.
Dictionaries
Each child has to have a spelling dictionary. Besides professional it is necessary to make the own dictionary in which the most compound words, most often defiant difficulties will be written down. As soon as several words (5-10-15) collect, it is possible to make of them crossword puzzles, to write short dictations, to play in "find a mistake".
