Fun lessons on the computer preparing for school. Teaching reading to preschoolers in a playful way: for a child who does not want to learn

Hello, dear colleagues and caring parents! In this section I will publish my activities with children in preparation for school.

Today, June 1, my “Home School” opened! Why homemade? I conduct classes at my home. I have a private house, in which the largest and most spacious room turns into a study room on the day of classes.

I also have a fairly large yard for children’s games and a garden plot, which will also play a role in the learning and development of my little students. And most importantly, I have a lot of experience pedagogical work with students primary school and the experience of just being a mother of three children.

Were you surprised that my school opened on June 1st, the first day of summer vacation? There is an explanation for this. Firstly, summer holidays- this is a vacation for school students, and my little students are still preschoolers. Secondly, summer is the time for teachers' vacations. It is at this time that caring parents turn to teachers for help primary classes. And their request for help is simple: “Please prepare your child for school.”

My little students are not going to school yet this year. Therefore, I intend to study with them until May 31, 2015, that is, exactly a year. There are 4 children in my small group so far. These are my two sons: six-year-old Pavlusha and four-year-old Andryusha and the daughters of my close friends, two five-year-old girls Ladushka and Sashenka. The team is small, but united by one spirit and a common goal. Most importantly, I have assistants, two wonderful mothers of girl students. One mother is an artist, and the other is a music school teacher.

I don’t have my own personal methodology for preparing children for school. But I have 17 years of experience as a primary school teacher and experience mother of many children. With my eldest daughter, she is 24 years old, we went through both preparation for school and primary classes, and the Unified State Exam in 11th grade, and 5 years of university.

School preparation classes are based on 5 main goals, which we will all try to achieve together.

1. Development of memory and attention.

2. Replenishment vocabulary, development of speech and general outlook.

3. Development of fine motor skills of the fingers.

4. Teaching counting within the first ten and the alphabet.

5. Aesthetic development (music, drawing).

And now I will describe in detail the course of lesson 1.

Lesson No. 1

On the day of the lesson, my preschoolers will be with me for 2 hours. Each lesson is complex and it is impossible to give such a large amount of information to preschoolers in one fell swoop. Each stage of the lesson should last no more than 15-20 minutes. Between each stage there will be outdoor games, indoor games on the carpet, musical breaks and, of course, work in the garden. I allocated a garden bed for each child - a small vegetable garden in which the children will plant various plants. During the summer we will care for the seedlings, observe their growth and development. Well, in the end, I hope, we will reap the harvest.

Now let's go point by point:

1. Development of memory and attention.

You can choose the pictures for “photographing” yourself, but if you want, I will share with you my presentation with a selection of pictures.

Download The presentation can be found on the website:

2. Replenishment of vocabulary, development of speech and general outlook.

In the first lesson, I limited myself to cards using the Glen Doman method (domestic and wild animals).

3. Development of fine motor skills of the fingers.

Here I use Olesya Zhukova’s copybook. Here are the copybook pages I chose for the first lesson. They can be downloaded from the website page (click on the picture and it will enlarge, then right-click and select “Save picture as...”)

4. Teaching counting within the first ten and the ABC.

Learning to count:

The first thing I started with was a voiced presentation using Glen Doman’s “Mathematics from the Cradle” method. The word “from the cradle” doesn’t bother me at all. I like this technique and it doesn’t matter to me that my little students have long crawled out of these same diapers.

I made the numbers in Microsoft Word in A4 format, printed them out and cut them.

For this stage of the lesson, I have in stock another presentation “Learning to count from 1 to 5. Collection for kids.” Here, first I visually introduce the concept of “number”, and only then “digit”. All pictures on the slides appear with a click. You can also click to move to the next slide. The presentation quality is excellent. You can pick up this presentation directly from the site.

Download presentation:

In the first lesson, I taught the “Counting from 1 to 5” block because my students were already familiar with numbers. Here on the Nachalochka website you can see additional materials on this topic in the “Mathematics” section.

ABC. The sound [a] and the letter Aa.

To work with the alphabet, I use tasks from the following sources:

Workbook “Teaching literacy to children”

Primer by N. S. Zhukova

A page from Olesya Zhukova’s copybook with the letter A (see above on this page).

I do not describe my lesson in detail, because this article is intended primarily for my colleagues - primary school teachers. But they know what to say and where to say it, what questions to ask, etc.

5. Aesthetic education.

In the first lesson I used my favorite “finger painting”. You can read more about this type of drawing on the same Taratorki website. In the side menu, select the “Drawing” section and then “finger painting”. On the website page you can download pictures for coloring. On this site I also have pictures for children to color, which are suitable for finger painting. Watch here: (download link under flash video).

All stages of the lesson were successful. Moreover, the guys could not part. When their mothers came to pick up the children, they had to spend a couple more hours with me.

I scheduled my next lesson for Wednesday, June 4th. The progress of lesson No. 2 and all subsequent ones will be published on the website.

Preparing children for school takes a lot of time, so some parents prefer to send their children to private schools. Such institutions recruit groups of children preschool age to learn everything you need under the guidance professional teachers. At the same time, families should also regularly engage with children, because in any case it is important individual approach.

Methods for preparing children for school

Before giving any tasks to prepare your child for school, familiarize yourself with several popular methods. With their help, a child can acquire all the necessary skills during training. Teaching methods are usually aimed at developing fine motor skills, logical thinking, obtaining mathematical knowledge, etc. At the same time, taking into account individual characteristics preschooler needs to take care of him physical training. Known methods of primary education:

Zaitseva;
Montessori;
Nikitins.

Zaitsev's technique

To preschool preparation child at home proved successful, pay attention to Zaitsev’s methodology, which includes an approach to teaching reading, writing, English and Russian. It involves the use of visual perception of information. The main principle is to teach the child everything necessary without harm to health and taking into account individual characteristics. It is able to activate the channels of information perception, saving time and saving the child from cramming. Minus: with individual lessons, the methodology is implemented worse than with group lessons.

Montessori method

An individual school preparation program that helps prepare a future first-grader can be organized in accordance with the Montessori method. It pays great attention to the development of sensations and fine motor skills of the baby. It is not necessary to use any special aids during the learning process. Parents must create a complete developmental environment for their child. The disadvantage is the absence of role-playing and outdoor games in the methodology.

Nikitin's technique

To increase your level of knowledge with homework, check out the Nikitins’ method. Its main principles are development, which must be creative and free. Classes are held alternating: intellectual, creative, sports. The sports atmosphere plays a fundamental role in the formation of a child, so all conditions for this should be created in your home. The methodology is creative, with an emphasis on physical development and creativity, but there is a minus - not all children have a desire to learn.

Preparatory classes for school

You need to start working with your baby from early age. Particular attention must be paid to psychological preparation. At first, tasks are completed in a playful way, but then they become more complex but interesting. Children usually receive basic knowledge in kindergartens. You can achieve great results either at home by inviting a private tutor, or by sending your child to special development centers or preparatory courses at schools.

School preparation courses

When you decide to choose preparatory courses for school, be careful when choosing a suitable institution. Such courses are available both at the schools themselves and in educational centers, i.e. non-profit organizations. With the help of comprehensive classes and a team, children can adapt to school system, lessons. Often, in such courses, preschoolers are taught so that they can easily complete the necessary exercises and answer certain questions correctly. It is much more important that the baby be able to think creatively, reason independently and draw conclusions.

Preschool tutor

A tutor for a preschooler is an excellent option to teach your child to read and write and prepare him for future interviews at school. Moreover, some teachers additionally teach children English language. Do not forget that a tutor to prepare a child for school must have teacher education and relevant qualifications. The big advantage of tutoring is the individual approach, which will help develop attention, reasoning skills, etc. The child will gain deeper knowledge. Cons: difficult to find a decent teacher, high cost.

How much does it cost to prepare a child for school?

It is recommended to prepare in this way for those children who do not attend kindergarten. Classes in specialized institutions are aimed at mastering the basics of writing and literacy, learning to read, developing speech and musical skills, etc. Some centers teach chess, foreign languages etc. Cost of training in Moscow:

Educators kindergarten must lay the foundations of counting, writing and reading. Parents are faced with a more important task - to teach their kids to finish what they start, let it be some examples from mathematics, a drawing lesson, or something else. To ensure that your child’s level of development corresponds to his age, try to communicate with him more, answering all questions. Pay attention to active games, physical development, teach independence and safety rules.

How to prepare your child for school yourself

To develop memory, the ability to think logically and other skills at home, read or watch cartoons together, discussing what the child has learned. Inquire about your child’s opinion more often by asking questions. Try to make home activities fun for your preschooler. The advantage of preparing a home is that it saves money, and the necessary materials can always be found on the Internet. The downside may be the quality, because not all parents have a pedagogical education. In addition, family activities do not always discipline the child.

Where to start preparing

According to psychologists, the most suitable age for a future first-grader to begin education is considered to be 3-4 years. Start teaching your child to read and count in a playful manner, for example, while walking, count the number of houses, cars, etc. with him. Do crafts together, paying attention to the artistic development of the future first-grader: draw, create applications, sculpt, assemble puzzles. Set up a comfortable desk at home. Pay attention to your child's motivation, otherwise learning will progress slowly.

Program

You should not prepare your child for school in the abstract; try to find requirements, tests, assignments and specific examples questions. To develop fine motor skills, a child must string pasta or beads, cut something out of paper, paint, create appliques, embroider, knit, etc. To teach your baby everything he needs, pay attention to the following lesson plan:

Materials

To teach your child everything he will need when entering school, use special visual materials. You can find them in large quantities on thematic web resources. To develop logical thinking, attention, memory and imagination, there are many educational games that require multi-colored cardboard. For example, to teach literacy you will need a picture book: choose any letter, say it several times and ask your child to trace it with a pencil all over the page. More details can be found in the manuals.

Games to prepare preschoolers for school

Educational games will help future preschoolers consolidate their knowledge of the alphabet, learn to form words, write and read. In addition, such activities help develop attention and concentration. Moreover, a preschool child is often distracted and cannot concentrate on one activity for a long time. Games that will help in the development of the baby:

Title: "Book Detective".
Goal: develop quick thinking, teach how to correlate letters with specific pictures.
Material: book with illustrations.
Description: give your child the task of finding a picture in a book that starts with a certain letter. If several children participate in the game, then introduce an element of competition, i.e. The winner will be the one who finds the most required pictures.

Here's another good option:

Title: "Illustrator".
Goal: to teach how to use a book, to develop logic and imagination.
Material: several books.
Description: read to your child short story or a poem, then invite him to select drawings for it from other books. Then ask for a retelling short story read, based on the selected pictures.

Developmental activities

As developmental exercises, you can use any labyrinths where a character needs help getting to the exit or getting somewhere. There are many games that help improve concentration and increase its volume. Some exercises promote the development and voluntary attention. A good option for an educational game:

Title: "Flowers in the Flowerbed"
Material: multi-colored cardboard.
Description: cut out three flowers of blue, orange, red and three flower beds of rectangular, square, round shapes from cardboard. Let your child distribute the colors in the flower beds based on the story - red flowers did not grow in a square or in a round flower bed, orange flowers did not grow in a rectangular or round flower bed.

Another game that is great for developing a variety of skills in preschoolers:

Title: “How are they similar and how are they different?”
Goal: to develop logical thinking.
Description: offer children two objects each, which they must compare and indicate their differences and similarities.

How to psychologically prepare a child for school

The personal and social readiness of a preschooler lies in the fact that by the time of admission he must be fully prepared both for communication and interaction with peers and adults. To psychological preparation was really successful, give your child the opportunity to independently establish contacts with others on the playground.

So-called “children at home” are often afraid of large crowds of people, although not all adults feel comfortable in a crowd. At the same time, we should not forget that the future first-grader will have to be in a group, so try to get out to public events from time to time. Motivate your child - if he is used to constant praise at home, then evaluate not every step, but the finished result.
