Syllables with the letter a. Texts for teaching reading to preschoolers with pictures, reading assignments. Age characteristics of preschoolers

Learning to read syllables - this stage in teaching children to read is one of the most important and difficult. Often parents simply don’t know how to teach their child to pronounce two letters together and get “stuck” on this for a long time. Tired of the endless repetition of “ME and A will be MA,” the child quickly loses interest, and learning to read turns into torture for the whole family. As a result, children who already know letters from the age of two or three cannot read simple words even by the age of five, not to mention reading sentences and books.

What to do next when the child remembers the letters? Let’s immediately make a reservation that teaching a preschooler to read syllables can begin BEFORE he has mastered the entire alphabet (moreover, some teachers insist that you need to move on to syllables as quickly as possible, without waiting for all the letters to be learned). But the child must name the letters that we will combine into syllables without hesitation.

In order to begin learning to read syllables, a child only needs to know 3-4 vowels and several consonants. First of all, take those consonants that can be drawn out (S, Z, L, M, N, V, F), this will help teach the child how to pronounce the syllable together. And this is a fundamentally important point.

So, let's look at a few, in our opinion, the most effective techniques, which modern teachers offer for teaching a child to form letters into syllables.

1. Play "Trains"

(game from the manual by E. Baranova, O. Razumovskaya “How to teach your child to read”).

Instead of boring cramming, invite your child to “ride the train.” All the consonants are written on the rails on which our trailers will travel, and the vowels are written on the trailers themselves. We place the trailer on the rails so that a consonant appears in the window, and name what station we have (for example, BA). Next, we move the trailer down the rails until the next consonant and read the syllable that appears.

There is a similar guide in cards "Game "Steam Locomotive". We read the syllables." from E. Sataeva

This game is good because the child does not need to be specifically explained how to add syllables. It is enough to say: “Now we will ride the letter A, it will be our passenger, name all the stations where we will stop.” First, “take a ride” yourself - let the child move the trailer along the rails, and you loudly and clearly call the “stations”: BA, VA, GA, DA, ZHA, ZA, etc. Then invite your child to do this with you in turn. During the game, listening to you, children easily grasp how to pronounce two sounds together. The third time, the child can “ride” himself without much difficulty.

If the child does not know all the letters, stop only at those “stations” that are familiar to him. Next we change the trailer. Now we roll the letters O, U, Y. If the child copes with the task easily, we complicate the task. For example, we go for a speed ride, timing which of the trailers will get to the end of the journey first. Or another option: when stopping at a station, the child must name not only the syllable, but also the words starting with this syllable (BO - barrel, side, Borya; VO - wolf, air, eight; GO - city, golf, guests; DO - rain, daughter, boards, etc.).

Please note that with this game you can practice reading not only open syllables (with a vowel at the end), but also closed ones (with a consonant at the end).

To do this, we take the trailers where the vowels are written in front of the window, and proceed in the same way. Now we have a letter on the trailer, not the passenger, but the driver, she is the main one, she is in front. First, read the resulting “stations” with closed syllables yourself: AB, AB, AG, AD, AZ, AZ, etc., then offer the child a “ride.”

Remember that in this and other exercises we first practice adding syllables with vowels of the first row (A, O, E, U, Y), and then introduce vowels of the second row (Ya, Yo, E, Yu, I) - so-called “iotated” vowels, which make the sound preceding them soft.

When the child is good at reading individual tracks with syllables, alternate the carriages with passengers and drivers, without prompting which particular carriage we will be rolling. This will help the child learn to clearly see where exactly the vowel is in a syllable (the syllable begins or ends with it). At first, a child may have difficulties with this when learning to read syllables.

2. “Run” from one letter to another

(from “ABC for Kids” by O. Zhukova)

This is a visual exercise that will help your child learn to pronounce two letters together.

Before us is a path from one letter to another. To overcome it, you need to pull the first letter until the finger we move along the path reaches the second letter. The main thing we are working on in this exercise is so that there is no pause between the first and second sound. To make it more interesting to practice, replace your finger with a figurine of any animal/person - let it run along the path and connect two letters.

(“A Primer for Kids” by E. Bakhtina, “Russian ABC” by O. Zhukova, etc.).

Many authors of primers and alphabet books use animated images of letters that need to be put into a syllable - they are friends, walk together in pairs, pull each other through obstacles. The main thing in such tasks, as in the previous exercise, is to name two letters together so that the two companion letters remain together.

To use this technique, you don’t even need special manuals or primers. Print out several figures of boys and girls (animals, fairy-tale or fictional characters), write a letter on each of them. Let consonants be written on the boys' figures, and vowels on the girls' figures. Make friends with the children. Check with your child that boys and girls or two girls can be friends, but making two boys friends (pronouncing two consonants together) is not possible. Change pairs, put girls first in them, and then boys.

Read the syllables first in one order, then in the reverse order.

These few techniques are quite enough to teach a child to add two letters into a syllable. And learning in the form of a game will allow you to avoid cramming and boring repetition of the same thing.

4. Games to strengthen the skill of adding letters

— Syllabic lotto

It’s very easy to make them yourself; to do this, you need to select several pictures - 6 for each card and print out the corresponding syllables.

• The guide will help you “Syllables. Choose a picture based on the first syllable BA-, BA-, MA-, SA-, TA-. Educational lotto games. Federal State Educational Standard of Education "E. V. Vasilyeva"— there are several more tutorials in this series
“Letters, syllables and words. Lotto with verification" by A. Anikushena
• Similar exercises are in the book « Syllable tables. Federal State Educational Standard" N. Neshchaeva

— Shop game

Place toy products or pictures with their images on the counter (for example, FISH-ba, DY-nya, PI-horns, BU-lka, YAB-loki, MYA-so). Prepare “money” - pieces of paper with the name of the first syllables of these words. A child can buy goods only with those “bills” on which the correct syllable is written.

Make an album with your own hands with your child, in which a syllable will be written on one page of the spread, and on the other - objects whose names begin with this syllable. Periodically review and add to these albums. For more effective learning to read, close either one or the other half of the spread (so that the child does not have unnecessary clues when naming a syllable or selecting words for a certain syllable).

They will help you with this "Cards for sound and syllabic analysis words."

— Airfield game (garages)

We write the syllables large on sheets of paper and lay them out around the room. These will be different airfields (garages) in our game. The child takes a toy plane (car), and the adult commands which airfield (in which garage) the plane should be landed (the car parked).

Zaitsev's cubes or any cards with syllables (you can make them in the form of traces) are suitable for this exercise. We build a long path from them - from one end of the room to the other. We choose two figures/toys. You play one, the child plays the other. Roll the dice - take turns with your figures on the cards for as many moves as the number rolled on the dice. As you step on each card, say the syllable written on it.

For this game you can also use various “adventures” by writing syllables in circles on the playing field.

5. Reading simple words syllable by syllable

Simultaneously with practicing syllables, we begin reading simple words(of three or four letters). For clarity, so that the child understands what parts a word consists of, which letters need to be read together and which ones separately, we recommend that the first words be made up of cards with syllables / individual letters or graphically divide the word into parts.

Words of two syllables can be written on pictures consisting of two parts. Pictures are easier to understand (the child is more willing to read words written on them than just columns of words) plus it is clearly visible into what parts a word can be broken down when reading it syllable by syllable.

Increase the complexity gradually: start with words consisting of one syllable (UM, OH, EAT, UZH, HEDGEHOG) or two identical syllables: MOTHER, UNCLE, DAD, NANNY. Then move on to reading words from three letters(closed syllable + consonant): BAL, SON, LAK, SIDE, HOUSE.

You need to understand that even if a child pronounces all the syllables in a word correctly, this does not mean that he will immediately be able to meaningfully put them together into a word. Be patient. If a child has difficulty reading words of 3-4 letters, do not move on to reading longer words, much less sentences.

Be prepared for the fact that your child will begin to read words fluently only after he has automated the skill of adding letters into syllables. Until this happens, periodically return to practicing syllables.

And, most importantly, remember that any learning should be a joy – for both parents and children!

Philologist, teacher of Russian language and literature, teacher preschool education
Svetlana Zyryanova

Your baby has learned letters and is actively adding syllables and small words. It's time to move on to more complex but interesting tasks - reading texts. But here parents and teachers expect some difficulties. It is impossible to offer a preschooler text cards without taking into account the characteristics of age and the degree of development of syllable reading skills. We will tell you in our article how to choose texts for reading for preschoolers, where to find and how to correctly print out texts for reading by syllables for younger and older preschoolers.

Age characteristics of preschoolers

After 5 years of age, kindergarteners are very active, mobile, and inquisitive. They grow up rapidly, get smarter, develop physically and mentally.
When preparing for school, parents and teachers should pay attention to the following age characteristics of children 4-7 years old:

• The basic needs of kindergarteners are communication and games. Children ask many questions to adults, themselves, and peers. They learn by playing.
• The leading mental function is imagination, fantasy. This helps to show creativity.
• Emotions, impressions, positive experiences are important for further development and the desire to continue activities. A 5-7 year old kindergartener needs praise, support, and no comparison with other children.
• Actively developing cognitive processes: attention, memory. At the age of 5-7, preschoolers can remember and analyze a large amount of information. But it needs to be given in doses, trying not to overload the child’s brain in one lesson.
• Speech becomes more developed. At 5 years old the child speaks complex sentences, can choose several synonyms for one word, knows many poems, riddles, and several fairy tales by heart.
• A kindergartener wants to experience new things and learn. The baby is spurred on by curiosity; he is interested in everything new and unknown.

Consider age and individual characteristics preschoolers choosing texts to read. In this case, training sessions will be more effective.

How to work with texts

Reading poems, short stories for preschoolers - the new kind work. The difficulty in completing the reading task is that the kindergartener does not always understand the meaning of the passage. To avoid this, you need to approach the choice of material and methods of its processing correctly. Organize your learning process as follows:

1. Select handouts based on the student's age. For children 4-5 years old, cards of 1-3 sentences, for older preschoolers - 4-5 sentences.
2. Pay attention to the number of words in the sentences. There should be few of them. Simple reading texts for preschoolers are easier to digest, but you cannot stay at the easy level for long.
3. Proceed to working with text cards after automating syllabic reading.
4. Read in sequence in a group or with adults when working individually.
5. Don't rush your child. At the learning stage, reading comprehension is important, not reading speed and the amount of time spent.

Texts for children 4-5 years old

For preschoolers early age We need special offer cards. Reading by syllables for children under 5 years of age is best accompanied by text with pictures. For example, coloring pages with comments. Coloring will be an additional task.

If we are reading syllables for the first time, the reading texts should consist of 1-2 sentences. Use small words, 1-2 syllables. You can prepare the cards yourself, find them online and print them.

For young students, it is important that there is a hyphen or other separator between syllables. For printing out reading material for syllables at 4 years old, choose a large, bold font.

• Learning to read syllables through working with text does not have to begin after learning the entire alphabet. Find reading books for children aged 5 and up and print out individual sentences of words that consist of the letters you have learned. There are many of them in Zhukova's alphabet.
• At the age of 4 to 5 years, there is no need to offer children the entire fairy tale or book. Large volumes frighten children and distract them with colorful drawings on other pages. Print only the part you need.
• Play with a passage, a poem. You can read a word separately, then a phrase, then a whole syntactic unit.
• Work according to the following algorithm. First we read, then we discuss, draw, and fantasize.

Tasks

After reading the texts, be sure to study the material further. This is necessary for a strong assimilation of information and the formation of meaningful reading skills. Offer preschoolers the following types of tasks for the passage:

1. A short retelling.
   The kindergartener must tell what he learned, what information was main in the text. It is advisable to use the words you read, name the characters and their actions.
2. Answer the questions.
   The speech therapist and parent ask 1-3 simple questions about the material read.
   If the child does not answer them, you need to read the passage together, with comments from an adult.
3. Draw a picture.
   Let's play illustrators. Children come up with a plot picture based on the information received from a passage or poem. This could be homework.
4. What happened next?
   Invite them to fantasize and come up with what could happen to the characters next.

Reading texts with pictures and tasks:

Texts for children 6-7 years old

If you are preparing reading texts for children 6-7 years old, you can print out entire paragraphs. For work, choose excerpts from fairy tales and short stories. Large works can be worked on in 2-3 lessons. Don't forget about short stories from the alphabet or primer.

• Work through the sentences in a chain, try to involve each student.
• After reading a short passage for the first time, discuss the content. If you find any misunderstandings, read the passage again.
• If we read syllables individually, different texts for reading to children 7 years old need to be printed on separate sheets.

Texts with tails:

Words are divided into syllables. Syllable- this is one sound or several sounds pronounced by one exhalation push of air.

Wed: wow, wow.

1. In the Russian language there are sounds of different audibility: vowel sounds are more sonorous compared to consonant sounds.

Exactly vowel sounds form syllables, are syllabic.

Consonants are non-syllabic. When pronouncing a word, the consonant sounds “stretch” towards the vowels, forming a syllable together with the vowels.

2. A syllable can consist of one sound (and then it must be a vowel!) or several sounds (in this case, in addition to the vowel, the syllable contains a consonant or a group of consonants).

The rim is o-bo-dok; country - country; night light - night light; miniature - mi-ni-a-tyu-ra.

3. Syllables can be open or closed.

Open syllable ends with a vowel sound.

Wow, country.

Closed syllable ends with a consonant sound.

Sleep, lay-ner.

There are more open syllables in Russian. Closed syllables are usually observed at the end of a word.

Wed: no-chnik(the first syllable is open, the second is closed), oh-bo-doc(the first two syllables are open, the third is closed).

In the middle of a word, the syllable usually ends in a vowel sound, and the consonant or group of consonants that comes after the vowel usually ends in the following syllable!

No-chnik, dammit, announcer.

Note!

Sometimes a word can have two consonants written but only one sound, for example: get rid of[izh:yt’]. Therefore in in this case two syllables stand out: and-live.
Division into parts out-live corresponds to the rules of word hyphenation, and not division into syllables!

The same can be seen in the example of the verb leave, in which the combination of consonants zzh sounds like one sound [zh:]; therefore the division into syllables will be - leave, and division into parts for transfer is leave.

Errors are especially common when highlighting syllables in verb forms ending in -tsya, -tsya.

• Division twisting, pressing is a division into parts for transfer, and not a division into syllables, since in such forms the combination of letters ts, ts sounds like one sound [ts].


• When dividing into syllables, combinations of letters tc, tc go entirely to the next syllable: hover, press.

In the middle of a word, closed syllables can only form unpaired voiced consonants: [j], [р], [р'], [л], [л'], [м], [м'], [н], [н' ].

May-ka, Sonya-ka, so-lom-ka.

Note!

When combining several consonants in the middle of a word:

1) Two identical consonants necessarily go to the next syllable.

O-t-t, yes-nn-y.

2) Two or more consonants usually extend to the next syllable.

Sha-pk a, equal.

Exception make up combinations of consonants in which the first is an unpaired voiced voice (letters r, r, l, l, m, m, n, n, th).

Mark-ka, dawn-ka, bul-ka, insole-ka, dam-ka, ban-ka, ban-ka, bark-ka.

4. The division into syllables often does not coincide with the division into parts of the word (prefix, root, suffix, ending) and with the division of the word into parts during transfer.

For example, the word calculated is divided into morphemes calculated (races- console, counts- root; a, nn- suffixes; th- ending).
When transferred, the same word is divided as follows: calculated.
The word is divided into syllables as follows: calculated.

Word hyphenation rules	Examples
1. As a rule, words are transferred into syllables. The letters ъ, ь, й are not separated from the previous letters.	Ride on, go on, go on, go on.
2. You cannot move or leave one letter on a line, even if it represents a syllable.	Oh bo-dok; words autumn, name cannot be divided for transfer.
3. When transferring, you cannot tear off the final consonant letter from the prefix.	From -to leak, from -to pour.
4. When transferring, the first consonant cannot be removed from the root.	To murmur, to murmur.
5. When hyphenating words with double consonants, one letter remains on the line and the other is moved.	Ran-n-i, ter-r-or, van-n a.
6. The letter ы after the prefix cannot be torn off from the root, but the part of the word starting with the letter ы should not be transferred.	Times - say.
