The ability to read is a purely individual skill, which depends primarily on the speed of the child's development.
Age
The optimal generally accepted age is considered to be three to four years. But children grow and develop in different ways. Someone grows to books at three years old, and someone at seven, and there is nothing wrong with that. It's time to sit down with your child at books, if he:
- Speaks well, uses full-fledged phrases in conversation, can describe the environment.
- Pronounces all the letters (if not, it's time to see a speech therapist!).
- Focuses on directions, knows where top-bottom and right-left.
How to teach?
When your child already knows the individual letters well, you can start teaching him to read syllables. For example, "ma" - "ma". For a start, it is better to choose those that end in vowels - it will be easier for the child to pronounce them. Such syllables are easy to pronounce loudly and connect with each other. Use the letter cubes.Main rules
In no case do not punish the child if he cannot immediately learn to pronounce the letters together, forming a sentence. If a child is scolded for not being able to do something, hormones are produced in his body from stress, which only more change him to remember something new. It is best to present the material in a playful way. Do just 15 minutes daily and the result will not be long in coming.
