To your baby interested in the proposedOccupation, you need to turn learning into a game. To begin with, you need to learn to recognize sounds. Together with the child, stand by the mirror and pronounce the sounds, clearly articulating your lips. Suggest your kid to guess what sound you portrayed, but did not say aloud.

Then let the child simulate the sound with articulation,And you try to guess what he wanted to say. You can offer a game with pronouncing sounds that mimic animals, and let the child guess which animal does that. For example, a fly: »Zh-zhzhzh», a mosquito: »Zzzzzzzz», accent the attention of the baby on the fact that all this is sounds. Incidentally, explain that there are sounds of vowels and consonants. You can sing a song with vowels, and you can represent consonants with animals, but you will not be able to sing with consonant sounds.

Now that the kid already understands what isSounds, it will be easier for you to explain what letters are. It is best to start training with the first letter of the child's name. Think about what it looks like, show the letter best without pictures, so as not to distract attention.

Later, when talking about the remaining letters, you need themSay not »EM», but »M», not »TE», but »T». So it will be easier to teach reading afterwards. To begin learning is better with vowels, because it is easier to combine syllables. To compose syllables, you can cut traces according to the size of the baby's leg, write on each letter, make a path from such tracks. Let the child, stepping on each trace, name the letter written on it.

It is very important to create a good mood in the child before each play-game, which stimulates to engage.
