Understanding pre-reading skills for preschool children
There are many steps to becoming an independent reader – one who can pronounce a word unknown forms or for its meaning in other ways. Some of these steps can be taken during the preschool years. Children who have had these experiences pre-reading are usually ready for the teacher's regular instruction in reading.
Some specific suggestions for parents have been given by Paul McKee. These, he insists should be conducted in an atmosphere of game – push, push, no, not staying in it until the child gets bored or restless or distracted.
1. Practice guess the word of the sentence in which it occurs. The mother said: "Teddy, I'll tell you something that you and leave out the last word. Let's see if I can say what the word could be. "Then, keeping busy with her housework, would give such phrases as:
"I'm washing the dishes ___." hot
"Let's put the clothes in the sun to ___."
"It's time to give ___." Spot
She would accept any word that makes sense – no forced him to give the exact word I was thinking. In the last sentence, she may have been thinking of "dinner" but if Teddy said "bone", which was a sensitive response, too.
This game addresses the child's attention on the meaning of a word in a sentence. Later, at school, your first step to get the meaning of a printed word is not known to ask what the context seems to demand.
2. Practice in distinguishing initial sounds of words. During the preschool years is a lot of time to learn gradually, one at a time. Key words for each sound help children to remember:
bj as in baseball – jumping, etc.
c – ch come – cold
d – sh Dad – show
f – WH fun – what
g – Go No – the thumb, and so on.
h – help
This exercise is oral. No printed words or letters are displayed. The child sees small objects or images of things. Those who begin with same consonant sound can be grouped for practice: m for men, milk, messenger, etc. Several groups of objects or images can be placed in a box, and the child may be asked to take all those starting with a sound or a sound m f. We must be sure that the image or object representing the word designed, for example, do not confuse with the bicycle wheel.
The child can recognize sounds in words, but do not know what we mean by "start with the same sound." It learns as is shown repeatedly, orally, distributed and shoe store and start with the same sound.
3. Practice distinguishing letter forms each other. The child needs to know the letter of the names so he can talk about them. He Can Learn the letter names as easily as he can learn the names of objects. A is the name we give to this: A, and also this way, a.
At this stage it is necessary to teach the alphabet in sequence. More Later, as an aid to the search words in the dictionary, you will learn the alphabet in segments – the letters found in the first quarter of the dictionary, then the second, third and fourth.
4. Practice in associating shapes of letters with their sounds. This is phonetics. Parents can also leave this step for teachers and merely reinforce the school children's learning through games like this:
"I'll say three words: toy, say, ten. Are all alike start? Yes, they begin with the letter t. "After the sound has not been well learned, as is known words can say," Now see if I can come. Do these words sound start with T: toy top, boy? That begin with T, starting with another sound of the letter? "
We must be careful not to make a child feel he has to hurry up and do these exercises and make it right. They should be seen as a diversion.
