Trainer for beginners. Simple words.
The book is wonderful. But kids don’t want to strain themselves and put the letters into words; it’s much easier to look at the picture and guess from the very first letter what is written under the picture.
Therefore, I suggest downloading these sheets. They have a lot of words and no explanatory pictures. Nothing will distract your child from the reading process. And since each word has only three letters, reading them will not be very difficult.
How many of them are words consisting of three letters? There are more than a hundred such words on these leaves. So the child will have something to read.
New cards for practicing reading skills. This time the selection contains words of 4 letters, but with one syllable.
That is, words have only one vowel letter.
DAY, LOAD, DEADLINE, OVEN, SEVEN, NIGHT and so on.
More than 100 words consisting of 4 letters and 1 syllable are collected on two sheets.
When reading, a child must not only form a word from letters, but also comprehend what he read. Ask your child to explain each new word.
We continue to practice our reading skills.
The next selection is already two-syllable words of 4 letters. On the first card are words with the so-called “open syllable”. They are easy to read. Ma-ma, ka-sha, ne-bo, re-ka, lu-zha and similar words.
The second card is more difficult. The words on it contain both open and closed syllables. Ma-yak, ig-la, u-tyug, yah-ta, o-sel, yol-ka and so on.
Each card has over fifty words. So the child will have to work hard until he reads all the words.
We read new words syllable by syllable. Words already consist of 5 letters. Va-gon, baby, tu-man, mar-ka, re-dis, lamp-pa. And so on. If your child confidently reads these hundred and fifty words, you can assume that your baby HAS LEARNED how to read! Or rather, he learned to put words together from letters.
The educational online game “Learning to Read with Chipo” will help your child: 1. Learn to read syllables. 2. Learn to read words of different syllable structures correctly. 3. Learn to read fluently and at the same time understand what you read. 4. Expand your vocabulary and horizons.

This exciting game will not let your child get bored and will increase his interest in reading.
This game is designed specifically for those parents who would like to teach their child to read on their own. It was extremely important for us to create an educational game that would not only teach a child to read, but also leave a positive emotional mark on the learning process itself for both the child and his parents.

At what age is it better to start teaching a child to read using this game?
Many parents often ask the question at what age is it better to start teaching a child to read using this game. Start when the baby is not yet a year old, or in the second year of life, or later. It's never too early, but it's never too late. Each age has its own games and principles of learning, its own speed of learning the material. Based on our 10 years of experience, we recommend starting classes at the beginning of mastering oral speech. This gives a very strong impetus to speech development and an imperceptible, natural mastery of reading techniques.
Another most favorable moment is 3.5-5 years. The child is already old enough to read for real; he probably loves books very much and understands why he needs to learn to read. At this age, learning occurs most quickly.
Our game is designed for children of different ages (0-7 years) and different reading levels. Both for beginners and for children who already know how to read a little, you will find many interesting tasks in the game.
What methodology underlies learning to read in the game “Learning to Read with Chipo”?
The game is based on the method of warehouse reading by N.A. Zaitsev, which has established itself as the most effective method of teaching reading to children aged 2 to 7 years.
From the first lesson (level) we begin to teach children how to read by word order.
With this approach, the child’s torment of fusion disappears; when he knows the letters, he cannot read them; he begins to read more easily and quickly.
Often many parents, and even some teachers, stretch out the study of letters for many months. For what?
Here's a question: if you teach your child to play chess, where do you start? Show the pieces, name them, arrange them, explain how they move, what the objectives of the game are. Or, maybe, you will demonstrate one king for a month (so as not to overexert the child), the queen the next, and by the end of the year you will get to the pawns?
It’s interesting that when applied to chess such a gentle approach seems ridiculous, but when applied to reading it seems normal.
When learning the alphabet, it is difficult for a child to read words correctly. Ask him to read the word TOAD, the answer will be read ZHE-A-BE-A. Agree, it is difficult to explain to a child that we are talking about a toad here, and not about a certain jewbee)))
Another advantage of this technique, compared to spelling, is the increased reading speed. Also an important point.
Who developed the game
The game was developed by experienced teachers and reading methodologists at the Bright Children early development center. Many graduates of this center by the age of 6-7 can read fluently, and most importantly love to read books. Our teacher-developers are confident that a child who learns to read before school develops much faster, learns more easily and better at school. A lot depends on the speed of reading in our lives.
If a student reads slowly and poorly, he will not achieve anything. He loses interest in studying and his self-esteem decreases. While a child with a passive reading technique is reading the terms of the problem, another one will have already solved it long ago. . In addition, we noticed that children who learned to read early write correctly.
How long will it take for my child to start reading?
Each child is individual, each has their own speed of learning. But usually, after a week of daily lessons, 4-year-olds begin to read simple words. After 4 weeks, they master reading complex words and sentences.
Two-year-olds begin to read by age three. If you managed to teach your child to read before the age of three, you have given him a huge gift for life. The most basic things included in this gift are excellent memory, ease of learning at school, increased ability to learn other languages, and excellent erudition. And along with this - well-deserved respect from teachers and peers.
How to play?
A small but very important digression
The most important thing in reading lessons is regularity and game form!!! In preschool age, any other path leads to a dead end.
Therefore, before classes it is necessary create a strong motivational mood explain to the child that he is not just learning to read, but is doing an important job! He saves the poor parrot Chipa from hunger! At the beginning of the game, Chipo explains that he is very hungry and will receive something tasty only for the child’s correct answers. During “feeding” it is important to encourage the child: “Wow, you did it, and Chipa got ice cream, but what will happen next time? Maybe this will be bread and butter?
If your child does not read a syllable correctly or wants to click on the wrong answer, do not interfere with him, let Chipo get a cockroach, and the baby will see how upset the parrot is. And you can smile and say something encouraging. “Well, I almost fed Chipa cockroaches! Try again! You will definitely succeed!” Offer to click on the syllable in which he made a mistake, and he will hear the correct pronunciation and now he will definitely not make a mistake.
For beginners
- You need to start playing from the first section “Syllables”
- The child repeats after the parent the syllable written in the box. Just don’t say individual letters “em” and “a”; it is important to immediately say “ma”, “ba”, “va”, etc.
- Ask your child to read the syllable independently and find a word among the pictures that begins with that syllable.
- In addition to working with syllables, immediately start introducingcme and with words. Children will remember syllables easier if they find them in familiar words. Select a suitable topic from the “Words” section. Show that by clicking on the syllables of this word, they will be voiced, so you can listen to the entire word syllable by syllable and answer the question correctly.
For those who continue
After the child has mastered the syllables, you can move on to reading words. At this stage, it is important for the child to believe that he can read anything. And for this, we recommend continuing classes in the “Word Forms” section and starting with the simplest 2-syllable words, such as porridge, vase, and then gradually moving on to reading 3, 4 complex words, etc.
The levels are arranged in order of increasing difficulty.
- You can start playing from the first level of the “forms of words” section
- The child reads the word written in the frame, and if he has forgotten how to read a word, he can simply click on it and hear how it is pronounced.
- When pressed correctly, Chipa gets something tasty.
Words by topic
After you have completed 5-7 levels from the “forms of words” section, you can try reading words by topic. Future men will like themes with cars and tools, but girls may prefer the flower or animal section. In any case, now you need to read a lot and constantly, so that the child quickly becomes fluent in reading. In addition, thanks to the “Words by Topic” section, the child expands his vocabulary and learns words that he did not know before.
- The child chooses the most interesting lexical topic for himself at the moment
- Reads the word written in the frame; if the child has forgotten how to read a word, then you can simply click on it and hear how it is pronounced.
- Finds the right word among the pictures.
- When pressed correctly, Chipa gets something tasty.
- Sometimes parents will need help in explaining the meaning of a word that is unfamiliar to the child.
What is useful to know about the game interface?
1. You can click on the syllables. They will be voiced.
For example, if a child has forgotten the pronunciation of a syllable or read it incorrectly, you can ask him to double-check himself.
This feature allows your child to study independently.
Another example of the use of voicing syllables. If you have a very small child and you have just started studying, all his attention will be concentrated on the pictures. And it may happen that you cannot persuade him to look at the spelling of the syllable. In this case, you explain that in order to answer correctly, you must first click on the syllable. When the child hears its pronunciation, tell him that now he needs to click on the picture with which this syllable begins. BA - BANANA. The next syllable is similar, and after 5-10 times the baby will remember this algorithm.
2. Warehouses in words are painted in different colors.
The stressed syllable is painted black, the rest of the warehouses are simply alternating shades of green.
How often should you work with your child?
It is advisable to exercise daily.
10-15 minutes, based on the child’s desire, mood and well-being.
How do I pay for the game?
The game is paid for once. In the future, you can play as much as you like. By clicking the "Buy" button you go to the payment page, where you can choose any method you like. Electronic money, Qiwi wallet, plastic cards, sending SMS and many other payment methods. After making the payment, you have the opportunity to play the full version of the game. When you visit the site again, you will simply need to go through authorization (fill in the login field with your e-mail and password, which you used to register on the site and make payments)

Welcome to my blog, dear readers!
Today we will talk about a topic that often terrifies novice teachers and inexperienced parents...namely, how to teach a child the rules of reading in English. However, don't be alarmed! All possible difficulties can be overcome. I hope that my tips will help you in the initial stages of learning to read. Books with the title “English: a reading trainer” are easy to find in any bookstore. But are they effective?
Basic principles
When mastering reading and pronunciation in a foreign language, children often encounter difficulties. They have to memorize new graphic symbols and learn to articulate previously unheard sounds. Our task is Make this process as easy as possible for your child., rather than shocking him even more.
In addition, the main difference between the acquisition of a native language and a foreign one is that the acquisition of a second language must occur consciously, through an explanation of the rules of reading and the nuances of the movement of the articulatory apparatus. However, this is worth doing, speaking in simple language and showing everything by your own example.
So what should we focus on when teaching reading? And how to make this process as simple and entertaining as possible for a child?
- First of all, you need to start small and gradually move from simple to complex. At first letters (or combinations of letters) and the sounds that represent them are given, then syllables and individual words, grouped so as to correspond to a single reading rule. At the initial stage, the main thing is to develop reaction speed and consolidate graphic images of words in memory.
- Therefore, the next principle to be followed is using as many analyzers as possible. It is necessary that new words be read by a teacher or speaker so that the child becomes familiar with the pronunciation norm. Repetition of words and individual phrases by the teacher, reading them in chorus and, finally, individual control of reading aloud are different types of speech and auditory activities aimed at mastering pronunciation in English. Repeated learning of foreign languages at any age is the key to success, therefore, the more often you practice the rules and return to them later, the better.
- Spaced repetition is very important. For example, having gone through a new rule, you should return to it not only in the next lesson, but also after a week, and then after a month. Moreover, you can present words in different forms, through pictures that students must name or in mini-texts.
- To help students understand reading rules, mnemonic techniques can be used, for example, associations with the native language. In the process of learning words that are not read according to the rule, you can try to connect them with similar words by coming up with a short story. Here you can also attract visual stimuli, that is, pictures. The more different stimuli are involved, such as reading aloud, repetition, associations, the faster and more reliably learning will occur.
What benefits to use
When teaching children the rules of reading, special manuals for primary schools are usually used. They are bright, have a friendly design, and are often funny and interesting. Such books have many pictures that children like, and the material is presented in portions, slowly.
Depending on what you like best, you can choose between Russian-language or authentic manuals from foreign publishers. Many people believe that foreign textbooks are always preferable. However, in my opinion, in the first years of study, the authenticity of the publication does not play a special role. Foreign publications are good for advanced levels, when you already want to learn vocabulary and grammar from native speakers.
Speaking about Russian-language publications, you can use, for example, a reading simulator E.V. Rusinova . It is a textbook and workbook at the same time. This edition is ideal for children 7-10 years old. After completing all the exercises in this book, your child will learn to read any English word correctly. The textbook also helps you master English transcription, which is not only indispensable when learning words that are not read according to the rules, but also represents the basic linguistic knowledge of every educated person.
Another indispensable assistant in teaching children English is a study guide S.A. Matveeva . It clearly demonstrates the rules for reading letters and words, provides colorful pictures and exercises to reinforce the material. In particular, an excellent task for the elementary level is “dictation in pictures”, when under each picture the student must write a suitable word in a foreign language. At the end of the textbook there is a list of all the words for the course.
If you want to familiarize yourself with foreign manuals, you can pay attention to the textbook "First Friends" Oxford Press Publishing. It is very colorful and divided into sections, each of which pays attention to reading rules and pronunciation. To remember new sounds and words, the authors of the textbook offer audio recordings with simple songs. Thus, learning occurs easily, smoothly and in a playful way.
You can also advise Jolly Phonics . This edition focuses on working with letters and sounds. The basic sounds of the English language (42 in total) are divided into groups. Having mastered the first group of only 6 sounds, kids will already be able to read the simplest words! Thus, the process of learning to read is significantly accelerated. Also included with the textbook are a CD and DVD with songs and video lessons.
I really hope that in this article you found the answers to all your questions! Remember, learning English is not so scary if you enjoy it!
