Kid can not learn a poem, a children's party tomorrow? You are angry, the child is crying, what here ... the holiday most common mistake is that parents are trying to get my child to memorize verses mechanically memorize, without delving into the meaning, not living subject.

Show me how!

Mechanical memory in learning the artistic text (such as poems and prose) - a bad assistant. It is good when you have to memorize new foreign words, concepts, formulas, or dates, but not poetry. After all, in a fiction important emotions, feelings, emotions that are displayed in the images. Need to develop an associative memory and imaginative thinking. And this is easily done through movements, gestures and facial expressions. Moreover, children are like to portray someone!



Let's look at step by step:

1. Read the poem aloud - for yourself, and if the child already knows how to read it to you.



2. However, break the text into logical chunks. If the child is small, then this passage must include a single line, and for older children - 2-4 lines.



3. Select each piece of 1.2 words, which can be shown. Let the baby at first he tries to figure out exactly how he will represent the word. If you can not help him.



4. Adult says the poem, and the child shows the movements of key phrases.



5. Little says the poem, while depicting the movement. Your help is appropriate.



6. The child himself is trying to remember the words and tell the poem with minimal adult help. And the adult should encourage the child to this. Movement still persist.



7. The child tries to recite a poem without movements.



This method is suitable for children from 3 years old. Do not worry that the child is on holiday or a lesson will show all the movements. They saved the baby at mikrosignalov body, almost unconscious and insensible, but help him to recall the text in the hectic circumstances. When a child and an adult pick up the images and movements, there is a very important process: the child learns many new things, knows the world, broadens the mind. Did he, as a jumping spot or click the wolf teeth? Or as Grandpa pulled the turnip, with some difficulty and diligence? Or as Santa Claus knocking on the floor with a magic stick?



Do not demand from the tot the first time to tell the poem without stumbling. If a pipsqueak continues to forget the words, put memorizing. After 2-3 hours, repeat steps 4.7. The next morning, repeat again. At this stage the child should try to tell the poem independently and with no apparent movement. There have a hitch? Let a few more times to describe the movements. You may find that the baby, halting in the evening, morning remarkably recite all this happens through the work of long-term memory.



Draw that!

The technique is the same, only the key concepts of the child does not show the movements, and draws.



If your offspring difficult to portray in written text, you can help him, but without imposing their own views. Do not demand from the baby's masterpieces - the simpler the drawing, the easier it is to remember and reproduce. Do not draw whole subjects, limit simple and clear picture. If the baby is well developed abstract thinking, he can not draw very clear to you songs, consisting of shapes and lines. There is no need to require specificity. The main thing - that the child was able to recall the lines of the poem, based on images created by it. At the final stage of storing images removed, but the child by this time had already remembered own images so that they remain in his memory and will help you remember the poem.



This method is suitable for children from 3 years old, but until the child learns a little paint itself, the picture will have to draw an adult, consulting with the child. With 4-4,5 years old child can begin to draw the image yourself.



Choose the one technique that is more consistent with the ability of your child. Methods "movements" is well suited for mobile, restless children, and methods of "drawing" is good for the extensive kids who like paper and pencils. Soon you will find that every time a child is easier to find images that portray them, and the poem turns out to be unlearned quickly. Moreover, you will notice that the baby gets pleasure from reciting the poem, because he "lived" it through movement or drawing.



The problem of memorizing verses remain in the past, but you can be proud of his young reciter!
