What is Beginning to Read, Write, and Listen Curriculum?

Beginning to Read, Write, and Listen is a comprehensive reading-language arts program. It contains and correlates reading, handwriting, auditory and oral language skills for children who do not know how to read or write. Beginning provides children with a thorough understanding of the letters of the alphabet and their sounds, the most basic elements of our spoken and written language. Beginning is the foundation for a child's understanding of letters as written symbols for spoken sounds. In Beginning, the child learns about the alphabet: the letter names, how to write the letters, what sounds the letters represent, and what function the letters serve as their sounds are blended to form words. Beginning is a multi-sensory program of visual, kinesthetic, and auditory activities, which meets the specialized needs of the beginning essential readiness skills. Above all else, it produces in the beginner a high degree of involvement and motivation, so vital for success at this early stage of learning.

What is the format of Beginning to Read, Write, and Listen and how is it used?

In Beginning each child has a set of letterbooks. Each letterbook is a sixteen-page, full color booklet filled with multi-sensory, multimodal activities that focus on one letter of the alphabet. The child writes, cuts, pastes, and colors in the letterbook. There are twenty-four letterbooks in a complete set. The major language skills areas are stressed in each letterbook: handwriting, auditory training, oral language, linguistic skills. The child learns to write the letter, identify its sound and blend the sound with other known letter sounds to form words. There are auditory lessons on cassettes which relate directly to excercises in the letterbook. The children mark their letterbooks while they listen to the tape. The letterbook serves as the focus for oral art projects which relate to the reading skills and letter being emphasized. These activities provide valuable opportunities to develop manual dexterity and small muscle coordination.

What is a summary? To what extent does the summary reflect the essence of the book?

The Smart Reading Summary is a summary of the key thoughts of a non-fiction book.

Everyone knows that non-fiction books are often overflowing with information for length, repetitive and not always well structured, which discourages the desire to read to the end. We try to preserve all the advantages of such a book, eliminating its disadvantages.

The key feature of our summaries is depth and content: we convey all the key ideas of the book, its motivational component, save important examples, cases, and even supplement the text with comments that allow a deeper understanding of the author's ideas.

At the same time, we do not try by all means to compress the text to one to five unrecognizable pages. The essence of the book and the opportunity to assimilate it are of greater value to us than the size of the summary. So, sometimes you can find summaries for serious books up to 20 pages of printed text.

Start reading and listening to the summary

How is a summary different from a review or a Wikipedia article?

A review is a critical review that contains the subjective attitude of the reviewer to the read work. The summary is written with the aim of conveying briefly the valuable thoughts of the author of the book, and not the creator of the summary.

Wikipedia articles contain interesting facts about the book, the author, and sometimes include a few of the book's key ideas. The form of the article is much more concise. Its purpose is to inform the reader about the availability of the book, and not exhaustively convey the most valuable of the book. We have prepared for you an overview of the world's leading summary services.

Is the summary a book replacement?

Rather, summaries are an opportunity to read more and choose for deep reading only those books that turned out to be most valuable to you.

Start reading and listening to the summary

Who writes summaries?

Three or four people work on each summary. Every time summaries are written by professionals in the field of working with text and translation, who have practical experience in the subject of the book. Further, the summary is submitted for editing to check the sufficiency, clarity, simplicity and logic of presentation, preserving the spirit of the book. If the book is specialized, the summary is reviewed by an expert in a special field. Next is the standard proofreading step. We coordinate summaries for Russian books with the author of the book personally.

What books end up in the library and why?

We have several criteria for selecting books.

The first basic condition is that only books that have a high rating (4+) from two or more experts appear in our library. This could be an amazon.com sheet, the Financial Times, or the McKinsey Business Book of the Year. We focus on international expertise, as a significant part of non-fiction literature is translated. Often in the library there are summaries of books that are not translated into Russian, but are very valuable.

The second criterion is the relevance of the book to the needs and tasks of our readers. In the process of cooperation with business clients, we have studied in detail their needs in the field of training, on the basis of which we have formed and fill the corporate competencies matrix with content. So, for example, we have all the books in the Sberbank Library.

The third criterion is the compliance of the content of the book with our mission and role in the development of society. Thus, we make summaries of important books on social responsibility, ecology, and the inclusiveness of society, which provide an understanding of social, economic, and political processes.

Whatever the criteria for choosing a book, be sure that it is worth reading and your time. There are no random books in the Smart Reading Library.

Start reading and listening to the summary

Which format - text or audio - is more effective for perception? Is their content different?

The text requires thoughtful elaboration and full focus, while listening to the summary can be a second activity. What suits you best depends on your type of learning. Often our subscribers use both formats. Their content is no different.

What is an infographic and why is it useful?

This is a visual display of information, in our case, the important ideas of the book, which allows you to notice, get interested and remember. The Smart Reading library contains over 150 infographics on the best non-fiction books. Our readers use infographics as a great way to motivate reading, memorization and recall.

What does the subscription include?

By subscribing, you get full access to the entire summary library in text, audio, graphics and other formats, as well as all the new products. Every year our library grows by at least 100 summaries.

How to teach a child to read. 5 ways to teach your child quickly and correctly.

The whole truth about how to choose a backpack for a first grader.

  1. Articles
  2. How to teach a child to read. 5 ways to teach your child quickly and correctly.

Reading is one of the very first skills that a child will master in his life. In our society, literacy is the key to success, and when reading ability does not develop within one or two classes, parents begin to feel that they have failed. However, most likely, the matter is in the choice of the method of education - there are no right and wrong books, methods, games, it all depends on the individual characteristics of the baby. There are no two children who simultaneously learned to read at the same pace, but for each case, the main thing is patience, diligence, perseverance.

In our article “What a future first grader should know when going to school”, we talked about the fact that reading by syllable is one of the skills that helps a child better adapt to the first grade. Therefore, it is worth starting training in advance, but taking into account the readiness of the child to learn.

How to get a child interested in reading?

Most children learn to read at the age of 5-7 years. Parents are encouraged to read aloud to their children, as the best way to instill a love of books is by example. Babies may not understand what you are reading, but they will become familiar with what a book is, learn to distinguish drawing from print. Toddlers love to imitate adults, play with printed materials, start flipping pages - this is another option for training fine motor skills. The main thing for parents at first is to form positive associations in the baby associated with the books they read. Read - and they will want to read, smile, opening a fresh volume, - children will also smile, flipping through the pages!

Is the child ready to learn to read: how to determine?

You can teach to read in several stages, depending on the age of a small student:

Basic teaching rules

What is the most successful approach to early learning to read? Let your child set their own pace and enjoy what they are doing. Do not force him to memorize numbers, shapes, names of objects, sentences you read. On the contrary, encourage curiosity, let the little one learn to explore on his own, discover new things, without fear of mistakes. The main condition is the desire of the smallest student. Read books to your baby that he really likes and entertains, the readable text should not be boring! Do not force reading when the child does not want it - this can permanently turn him away from books.

Use games - it is in a playful way that preschoolers most easily learn the information they read, so combine the useful with the pleasant. Keep the child interested, but do not make the classes too long - it is better to spend less time studying, but do it more often. Classes should be diversified with light warm-ups or outdoor games, which help relieve stress, distract and gain strength to continue studying.

Good parents must remain patient and not compare their child's progress to other children's - remember that everyone's learning process is at their own pace. Listen to the baby, if right now he does not want to read, pick another time. For each preschooler, you can choose the best home teaching method - look at the different methods, choosing the one that suits your baby.

Teaching methods

Montessori method

The Italian teacher and doctor Maria Montessori proposed a method of teaching reading, according to which you must first learn to write, and only then read. Small children perceive lettering as drawings, so it's easier to start by teaching a preschooler how to write the alphabet correctly. Use cursive, not block characters - rounded characters are easier to read for preschoolers. The methodology provides for training without manuals, books, primers. You will need paper, a pencil, toy three-dimensional letters. The process takes place in several stages:

Zaitsev Cubes

Zaitsev's technique is based on a game form of learning, for this they use cubes developed by a famous teacher. According to this method, in order to teach a child to read, you do not need to use the alphabet, which is more likely to confuse than help. Zaitsev believed: the alphabet is harmful due to the use of pictures. For example, if a baby remembers the letter “A” associated with a picture of a stork, and “M” with a picture of a mouse, he may decide: to write “mother” you need two storks and two mice. The readable text will be clearer if you first learn to write, make warehouses, and only then start reading. There are several rules for this technique:

Phonetic method

The phonetic or sound technique is used in schools, so if you start teaching a child using it, it will be easier for him to adapt to learning already sitting at a desk. This method is easy to use at home, useful for practicing correct pronunciation, suitable for 5-6 year old preschoolers, but may not be practical for earlier reading. The technique consists of several stages: first, the baby must be taught to distinguish sounds in readable words, then they must be taught how to correctly write sounds in letters, put what is written into syllables, and then into words and sentences.

Glen Doman cards

According to the methodology developed by Glen Doman, you need to start reading with individual words, not syllables. The technique is suitable for the youngest children, even those who are only a couple of months old. The child is shown cards with words in a certain order, correctly and carefully repeating what is written aloud, gradually moving on to phrases, sentences and books. In total - 5 steps:

Methodology of Olga Soboleva

The methodology of the Russian teacher Olga Soboleva is based on motivation by creating confidence in the child that reading is pleasant. Learning takes place in the form of a game using associations. For example, the letter “M” should be associated with the native word “mother”. At the same time, the method excludes learning by syllables, you need to start with words, after which sentences are mastered immediately. Games gradually move to books, so that the love of reading is instilled in the preschooler.

How to teach reading independently and at home

Almost all teaching methods agree that the easiest way is to teach a preschooler to read in a playful way, without coercion, to use the example of parents and readable material that is understandable to him. Remember the simple rules:
