Reading speed. Although there are no clear age standards , if by the end of first grade a child is not able to read 20 words in a minute, you should seriously think about it.
Reading method. Children can read letter by letter, that is, calling each letter instead of a syllable (ka-o-te instead of kot).
Expressiveness of reading. If it is difficult for a child to simply read a sentence, the question of conveying the intonation of the characters does not even arise.
The semantic side of reading. The child does not understand (or understands, but not fully) what he has read. There may not be any mistakes as such, but if you ask your child a question about the content of the text (for example, ask to name the characters ) - and you will stumble upon a wall of silence. Retelling also fails: the child’s speech is segmented and contains redundant or incorrect information.
Maximum program: how to organize training
Choose a good school. How prestigious is the institution, whether it has been renovated in European style and whether the classrooms are equipped in accordance with the latest technologies - in your case, the tenth question. The qualifications of at least two people are crucial - a speech therapist and a primary school teacher. Ask your friends, go to schools yourself and talk to these specialists - isn’t it important to you who will take care of your child? At the same time, you will demonstrate to teachers your concern for the problem and your readiness to work together.
Focus on the main thing. And the main thing for your child now is to learn to read and write correctly. So the drama club and photo club will have to be postponed until better times - they will certainly come!
Study. The most effective way to learn to read and write - you won't believe it! - this is reading and writing. Therefore, buy copybooks (even if your child has been gnawing on science for several years now) and patiently develop sticks, hooks and letters with your child. Make sure he tries hard and doesn’t make mistakes. Notice which letters (and their combinations) are difficult for your baby - and pay more attention to them. Then you can move on to copying small handwritten texts and dictations. Be sure to work on mistakes - otherwise the letter will turn into a simple scribble of paper. The misspelled word must be written down (in calligraphic handwriting, of course) and parsed: ask the child how many syllables it has, how many letters and sounds there are - and what they are. Then ask your child to write the word 3-4 times on their own. If the mistake is made not in the word, but in the design of the sentence, carry out similar explanatory work - tell your student what a sentence is, how the first word is written and where the period is placed. While listening to the heir read, make sure that he does not “swallow” endings and prepositions. The word in which the baby made a mistake must first be parsed and then read several times. Pay attention not only to technique, but also to understanding what you read - ask questions about the content of the text, ask what certain words and expressions mean. And under no circumstances use the same stories day after day! Inventive cunning people memorize the text and “read” it by heart with an A plus.
