- Speech development
Your baby has learned letters and is actively adding syllables and small words. It's time to move on to more complex but interesting tasks - reading texts. But here parents and teachers expect some difficulties. It is impossible to offer a preschooler text cards without taking into account the characteristics of age and the degree of development of syllable reading skills. We will tell you in our article how to choose texts for reading for preschoolers, where to find and how to correctly print out texts for reading by syllables for younger and older preschoolers.
Age characteristics of preschoolers
After 5 years of age, kindergarteners are very active, mobile, and inquisitive. They grow up rapidly, get smarter, develop physically and mentally. When preparing for school and teaching syllable reading, parents and teachers should pay attention to the following age-related characteristics of children 4-7 years old:
- The basic needs of kindergarteners are communication and games. Children ask many questions to adults, themselves, and peers. They learn by playing.
- The leading mental function is imagination, fantasy. This helps to show creativity.
- Emotions, impressions, positive experiences are important for further development and the desire to continue activities. A 5-7 year old kindergartener needs praise, support, and no comparison with other children.
- Cognitive processes are actively developing: attention, memory. At the age of 5-7, preschoolers can remember and analyze a large amount of information. But it needs to be given in doses, trying not to overload the child’s brain in one lesson.
- Speech becomes more developed. At 5 years old, the child speaks in complex sentences, can choose several synonyms for one word, knows many poems, riddles, and several fairy tales by heart.
- A kindergartener wants to experience new things and learn. The baby is spurred on by curiosity; he is interested in everything new and unknown.
Consider the age and individual characteristics of preschoolers when choosing texts to read. In this case, training sessions will be more effective.
Tables of syllables for training reading techniques: compilation
Training reading technique is a rather complex process. As we have already said, it is advisable to use tables. In order not to create them yourself, we offer you several ready-made options:
Table 1
table 2
Table 3
Table 4
How to work with texts
Reading poems and short stories for a preschooler is a new type of work. The difficulty in completing the reading task is that the kindergartener does not always understand the meaning of the passage. To avoid this, you need to approach the choice of material and methods of its processing correctly. Organize your learning process as follows:
- Select handouts based on the student's age. For children 4-5 years old, cards of 1-3 sentences, for older preschoolers - 4-5 sentences.
- Pay attention to the number of words in the sentences. There should be few of them. Simple reading texts for preschoolers are easier to digest, but you cannot stay at the easy level for long.
- Proceed to working with text cards after automating syllabic reading.
- Read in sequence in a group or with adults when working individually.
- Don't rush your child. At the learning stage, reading comprehension is important, not reading speed and the amount of time spent.

Cucumber and cabbage
One day, a head of cabbage and a cucumber went swimming together in the river.

Jackdaw and Crow
It is not at all difficult to distinguish a jackdaw and a crow. A jackdaw is half the size of a crow and is all black, only with gray feathers around its neck, as if it were tied with a gray scarf.

Murzik
Murzik the cat was mischievous. One day he was sitting on a tree. A crow sat down nearby.
Murzik jumped on her back. He grabbed the feathers with his claws and froze.

Bee houses
Identical toy houses are placed in the garden under the apple trees.

Lilies of the valley are used to make medicine for heart patients. (44 words.)
The arrival of spring
The days were gray. A heavy damp fog hung over the ground. And suddenly the sun hit. It seemed that a holiday had begun. Blue puddles, like fragments of a mirror, sparkled dazzlingly under the sun.

Hawk bug
The hunter held a small pipe between his lips. He played on it, calling the hazel grouse.

But the blow of the beak hit the hunter’s hat. (43 words.)
Grandfather always has animals and birds living with him. He has a very tame jackdaw Galya, a very tame little squirrel Tishka, a wild duck named Granya.
They appear in the house when they want and leave when they want. But then they definitely come back. Maybe that’s why they come back because no one is forcing them to stop? (47 words.)
Sly fish
I sat with a fishing rod on the shore for a long time. My minnows don't bite. And the grandfather is sitting under a bush and has already caught a bucket. I sat down in the shade. Immediately the minnows began to bite. It turns out that in a clear area the shadow of the fishing rod is visible. So the cunning fish did not come to the hook. (48 words.)
Whale
The whale is the largest animal in the world. He can only live in the ocean. That's why there are no whales in any zoo in the world. The products we need are made from liver fat and whale meat. Hunting whales is difficult and dangerous. This matter can only be entrusted to very strong and brave people. (47 words.)
The bats
Bats are very useful animals. They eat harmful insects.
During the day, bats wrap themselves in their wide wings, like a cloak, and hang upside down in dark places.

(Fairy tale)
A young tree grew in the forest. One fine day the tree wanted to fly.
The old trees laughed at him. After all, a tree doesn't fly. The roots hold it firmly in the ground.

He put a fresh cone into the crevice of the aspen, and pulled out the old one with his beak and threw it away. I dealt with this one and flew after another. (62 words.)
Russian ingenuity
That was a long time ago. Cleaning the road in the mountains. In a narrow place lay a huge stone. How to remove it?
They didn’t know about cranes back then. There were no powerful machines. Only a hundred horses could carry the stone.

Holidays
"We're on vacation!" - the schoolchildren are happy. This word means a break from academic work.

Rain
The rain diligently hangs a transparent earring drop on each pine needle.
They hang for a long time, decorating the pine trees.
Rain stopped. Everything became quiet, as if frozen.
A ray of sunlight flashed and illuminated the drops for a moment. They lit up with all the colors of the rainbow.
But then the breeze blew slightly. Rainbow earrings fell from the pine needles like tears. Another rush. Another. The upper branches swayed more violently, and drops fell abundantly. The green pine needles got rid of the heaviness. Not a single earring. The pines washed themselves, became fresher, perked up and rustled joyfully. (72 words.)
Ant trail
The ants had a bridge over the stream - the tree fell, and they ran along it. People walked here and crushed ants every day. However, you cannot stop insects if they have chosen a path for themselves. What to think of?

In a forest clearing there are piles of loose earth. It's like small beds.

Well, of course it's a mole. Looked out into the white light. Again he dived into the depths.

Forest gourmet
Hunters walked through the taiga. Suddenly they heard squealing and grumbling. The hunters cautiously followed the noise.
A young bear was fiddling around a large linden tree. There was honey in the hollow. But the linden grew close to the rock. Stones prevented me from sticking my paw into the hollow.
The bees stung the thief. He rubbed his face with his paws and screamed in a thin voice. Finally the bear got tired and sat down. He looked at the linden tree for a long time. Then he climbed to its top.
The bear squeezed between a rock and a tree. He pressed hard on the tree with his paws. The linden cracked and collapsed.

We turned off the heat. And the testicles underneath her were baked to perfection. Oh, and our lunch was delicious! (76 words.)
Antarctica
Antarctica lies in the far south. A huge ice cap more than a kilometer thick covers Antarctica. Only here and there among the ice do black and brown hills appear, covered with rare spots of moss.
The animal world of Antarctica is poor. Penguins were the best able to adapt to the harsh climate. They inhabit the shores of the Antarctic seas. Whales, sperm whales, and dolphins swim in the coastal waters.
Antarctica holds many secrets. Scientists have already mapped huge mountain ranges. There are many valuable minerals in Antarctica. But all this is hidden under the ice.
Scientists from all over the world are exploring this region. (80 words.)
Texts for children 4-5 years old
Young preschoolers need special sentence cards. Reading by syllables for children under 5 years of age is best accompanied by text with pictures. For example, coloring pages with comments. Coloring will be an additional task.
If we are reading syllables for the first time, the reading texts should consist of 1-2 sentences. Use small words, 1-2 syllables. You can prepare the cards yourself, find them online and print them.
For young students, it is important that there is a hyphen or other separator between syllables. For printing out reading material for syllables at 4 years old, choose a large, bold font.
General recommendations
- Learning to read syllables through working with text does not have to begin after learning the entire alphabet. Find reading books for children aged 5 and up and print out individual sentences of words that consist of the letters you have learned. There are many of them in Zhukova's alphabet.
- At the age of 4 to 5 years, there is no need to offer children the entire fairy tale or book. Large volumes frighten children and distract them with colorful drawings on other pages. Print only the part you need.
- Play with a passage, a poem. You can read a word separately, then a phrase, then a whole syntactic unit.
- Work according to the following algorithm. First we read, then we discuss, draw, and fantasize.
Tasks
After reading the texts, be sure to study the material further. This is necessary for a strong assimilation of information and the formation of meaningful reading skills. Offer preschoolers the following types of tasks for the passage:
- A short retelling. The kindergartener must tell what he learned, what information was main in the text. It is advisable to use the words you read, name the characters and their actions.
- Answer the questions. The speech therapist and parent ask 1-3 simple questions about the material read. If the child does not answer them, you need to read the passage together, with comments from an adult.
- Draw a picture. Let's play illustrators. Children come up with a plot picture based on the information received from a passage or poem. This could be homework.
- What happened next? Invite them to fantasize and come up with what could happen to the characters next.

Texts for children 6-7 years old
If you are preparing reading texts for children 6-7 years old, you can print out entire paragraphs. For work, choose excerpts from fairy tales and short stories. Large works can be worked on in 2-3 lessons. Don't forget about short stories from the alphabet or primer.
General recommendations
- Work through the sentences in a chain, try to involve each student.
- After reading a short passage for the first time, discuss the content. If you find any misunderstandings, read the passage again.
- If we read syllables individually, different texts for reading to children 7 years old need to be printed on separate sheets.
Texts with tails:
How to write easy texts
I write a lot of texts, mostly nonsense, but usually even haters say that the text is easy to read. If you want to make your texts (letters, for example) easier, run here. I didn’t invent anything here, everything was from the book “The Living and the Dead Word” by Nora Gal, a Soviet translator, editor and critic.
There are two rules: verb and no clerical.
A verb is an action. The verb makes the text dynamic, interesting, and alive. No other part of speech can do this.
The antonym of a verb is a verbal noun. This is the worst evil. A verbal noun is a noun formed from a verb.
For example: implementation, implementation, planning, implementation, application, etc.
The only thing worse than a verbal noun is a chain of verbal nouns. For example, planning, implementing implementation.
The rule is simple: where possible, replace verbal nouns with verbs. Or normal nouns that do not have a synonym verb.
Now about the office. To find out, or rather, remember what a clerk is, read some law, regulation (including internal company documents), or your diploma.
Stationery is an artificial complication of the text so that it seems smart or fits into some framework (business, scientific-journalistic style, etc.).
To put it simply, if you try to appear smarter than you are when writing a text, you create clericalism.
The use of verbal nouns is also clerical. Participial and participial phrases are a sign of clericalism. Especially when there is a chain of revolutions, additions, complex and complex sentences (come on, remember the school curriculum).
Participial and participial phrases differ in that they have, let's say, a base word. For example: Irina solving a problem. It already sounds a little nasty, but, if desired, it can be made completely unreadable.
Irina, solving the problem, resembles a small child who does not understand anything, who, thinking that he knows something about this life that has come into his head from nowhere (so, he is already confused...), sincerely believes that the computer belongs to him by right, he will forever endure and endure, silently, without ever baring his teeth, like a dog stinking from yesterday’s rain (damn, what did I want to say with this sentence...).
On the one hand, you can dig in and understand these rules and write, like Leo Tolstoy, page-long sentences. So that the schoolchildren would suffer later.
But there is a simple way out that will prevent you from ruining the proposal. Keep your sentences short. Not “Evening.”, of course - I think sentences one or two lines long, no more, will be enough. If you follow this rule, you won't get confused.
Yes, and it’s better to keep paragraphs small. In the modern world there is a so-called “clip thinking” - a person is not able to assimilate large pieces of information. You need to, like a child, divide the cutlet into small pieces so that he can eat them himself, with his fork. And if you don’t share, you’ll have to sit next to him and feed him.
Well, then it’s simple. Next time you write a text, re-read it before sending it, and look for: verbal nouns, participial and participial phrases, sentences longer than one line, paragraphs thicker than five lines. And redo it.
Grid for training reading technique - how to use?
Training reading technique is also possible with the help of a special grid. We have already talked about the option with a window, but this one is somewhat different. That is, make a special grid and apply it horizontally to the text. As you read, the hash mark gradually moves down. The grid allows you to block out some areas of the text, making it more difficult to read. The child’s task in this case is to mentally fill in the gaps and grasp the meaning.
The exercise is carried out for five minutes and then the grate is removed. You can let your child read for a couple of minutes without her.
