Among parents, as well as among specialists teachers, there is no unambiguous opinion on when it is worth beginning to teach the child to read. However there are convincing proofs that the first steps in this direction can be taken still before to children year is executed.
Instruction
1. If parents intend to teach the one-year-old child to read, first of all, they can advise to stock up with patience and endurance - nobody will be able to give the exact answer when their efforts are rewarded, and the kid will be able to read the first letter or maybe a line. However experts are almost unanimous - at the correct and systematic classes the child will be able not only to seize reading, but also is sincere to fall in love with books.
2. It is better to give the first classes in playful way. For a start it is necessary to choose correctly the book or the magazine with largely printed font, it is possible to use also special editions where any given letter is followed by the corresponding picture (To - a cat, With - a table, etc.). During the initial stage it is worth drawing attention of the child to the picture, accurately pronouncing its name. Besides training in reading, at one-year-old age the lexical stock of the kid begins to be formed and also many children learn to speak. Therefore it is quite probable that parents will manage to kill two, and even three hares at once - besides love for the book, it is essential to enrich the dictionary by the child that in the future will pleasantly surprise dad and mom and also to achieve the correct pronunciation.
3. If the kid is capable to show a finger on any given word pronounced by parents (apple, a dog, the house, etc.) it is worth moving further. Except ready books, it is possible to make cards of dense cardboard or to buy ready set. Showing to the child any given letter, it is necessary to try to set new knowledge, and then it is possible to start also syllables, without forgetting about a game method of training.
4. It is possible to begin with the most common and combinations habitual to hearing of the child, for example - "му" (as the cow lows?), "ма" (mom), "ам" (who will eat now?). To you it is not necessary to tire excessively during one occupation the child, suggesting it to get acquainted with several letters at once and furthermore syllables. Even if the kid at first is interested and visually ready to continuation of "game", the result can be opposite. Demanding from the one-year-old child of too much, there is a risk that he not only will lose interest in similar pastime, but also will begin to perceive negatively both letters, and syllables, and books combined. Only parents - only they can define borders for which you should not come, knowing the child, are capable to notice the first signs of exhaustion.
5. Experts are almost unanimous - nothing trains better than a personal example. If in family the love for books and reading is cultivated, training process most likely will go easily, like clockwork. The kid who since the earliest childhood sees mother and the father with the book in hands will think sooner or later and will want to find out why they do it. And for well-read parents it is possible to organize from viewing the children's book the real show in the course of which the child not only gradually one for another will remember all letters, but also will seize the whole range of useful skills. For example, on the example of the fairy tales by Suteev which are usually very well illustrated and suitable for joint reading with one-year-old children, it is possible not only to teach kids to listen, but also to monitor development of a plot. The mentioned fairy tales also perfectly are suitable for work with read as after their viewing it is possible to ask the child the mass of questions (the complexity varies depending on age and level of training of the kid) to understand, how well it acquired material. In the future it will render the invaluable help - well prepared child for himself can imperceptibly learn to read.
