Reading is one of the basic communication skills of the human being. The ability to read opens the doors to us for knowledge and promotes learning, in addition to promoting the development of thought and language
But this skill is not innate, it is a skill that is learned and sometimes its acquisition can be complicated. It is essential to offer to the children and girls an approach to the reading from children so that the necessary strategies develop for its learning
The teaching of reading.
Teach to read can become a challenge for families and educators. The difficulty of this programming is in the arbitrary association between sounds (phonemes) and letters (spelling). It is difficult to understand the meaning of this association and that is why we must give them the reading through the game, through the induction and leave that are themselves the that little by little deducted through a global method this relationship and assimilate.
Steps for a playful teaching of reading.
Use an inductive method through which the child is responsible for learning and unconsciously find the meaning of the arbitrary rules that relate the letters to their sounds in the best option.
Before teaching him to read.
It is essential to the development of basic skills prior to the reading process and development to their time of taste and interest in reading.
Reads the child aloud from the beginning. Although do not understand even the language. Reading aloud will facilitate the development of language and awaken their interest in reading.
Teach him how the story when you read. In this way you will know that the sounds they hear are associated to a few letters (though not yet understand the association) and a meaning.
Work with the child/orientation. will be needed to learn to read. And show him the order you follow to read.
Teach her the letters that form her name and play with him / her to find these letters she knows, in other words, and to imagine how those words will sound.
Make reading a part of the family routine. Read stories to the children of the house, le read as adults. Children learn more about what they see, than what we tell them, if they see us reading they will tend to imitate.
The time to learn to read.
It is important not to rush this learning and to do so when they are ready to do this (around the 4-5 years).
Uses global methods for the teaching of reading, instead of go letter by letter or syllable to syllable. In this way we favor the inductive learning, the same shall be that discover the association of sounds with the corresponding letters.
Employs complete words, Supported in images. In this way associated the word to its meaning, pronounce the word noting the letters and make the small pronounce also.
Plays with him/her to find the letters of the words you already know. When you find the letters that you know, continues the game asking you to tell you that believes that puts there.
Show new words, But similar to the ones you already know (cat - duck; suitcase - pot; stick - hair) and play with him / her to locate the different letter. In this way, you will be interested and gradually you will understand how each of the letters sounds.
When you already understand some words and you know some letters that belong to those words We introduce phrases (at the beginning very simple type "Pretty Cat", "My Mom", Blue House) ") It is also backed by an image and I ask you to try to read what it says, little by little we will introduce longer sentences.
Use games such as Alphabet soups, track games where you have to read, riddles, write and read notes among yourselves, etc.
Uses texts that you like, as something about their drawings preferred, leave that I sent messages by phone to a family member and read its answers.
Reinforces their achievements.
When you have an error, Do not correct, ask if you are sure that this is so and guide him to discover his error and learn the same.
When you are able to read phrases, (even if you make mistakes), We will start with short texts.
