"Learning to read!" - a unique application that has no analogues in the market. This is not a game, but a training system. We do not teach children the alphabet - we teach them to read!
"Chitaika" is designed for a wide audience of children from 1 to 7 years. With this application, the child can learn to read from scratch, even if he does not yet know the letters. And do you know the situation "all the letters we know, but we can not read at all"? To some, this seems surprising, but, in fact, between the knowledge of the alphabet and the reading skill - the abyss. And "Chitaika" will help your child to overcome this chasm!
In the development of the application we took into account the methodical ideas of Zaitsev, Doman, as well as our own long experience in teaching reading.
Chitaika includes 10 levels, of which the first 4 - work with syllables and individual letters, and the next 6 are devoted to the word.
Levels are built on the principle of increasing complexity. If on the first we only show syllables and individual letters to the child, then on the latter he already independently adds words from letters, focusing exclusively on his phonetic hearing. The remaining levels consistently, step by step, lead the baby to achieve the main goal - fluent reading of words.
1. Multilevel system of organization of material is unique and has no analogues in the market. None of the existing training applications does not contain as many intermediate steps necessary to learn to read. If other products can only be used as an aid, additional material for teaching reading, then "Chitaika" is a learning system that can directly teach a child to read.
2. We involve the kid in the interactive educational process, offer him tasks and constantly give feedback, we consistently teach him to cope with tasks at different levels of complexity.
3. Having effective methods of teaching reading, we do not admit mistakes inherent in many applications. After all, what happens if we add [em] and [a], for example? Obviously [ema]! And if you combine two cars and two watermelons? Just imagine: it will be my mother! Extravagant, is not it? But it is this florid way that many educational games go. Most often, the letters in them are sounded not by the sound that the letter stands for (m - [m]), but by its alphabetical name (m - [em]). Behind the sounds is visually fixed not so much the graphic image of the letter as the image of the word that begins with this letter. So it turns out that you do not need to add a sound [m] with a sound [a], but a car with a watermelon. And how, after having done this procedure twice, get the word "mom"? The child does not understand. With full right does not understand! Unlike many, "Chitaika" children do not confuse - 'Chitaika' teaches to read!
4. Vivid design will attract the attention of the child. And simultaneously all the training screens are extremely concise. They do not contain unnecessary elements that could distract from the learning process, and even confuse the baby.
5. We do not teach children the actual alphabet, that is, the alphabetical order and the names of the letters. After all, this knowledge is a "thing-in-itself". They are needed only in case someone asks you to tell the alphabet. Or to correctly pronounce a phrase like "This is a letter [en]". Well, maximum, in order to find the right word in a paper catalog or dictionary (than your little one, at least, in the near future is unlikely to care). But in order to read, actually knowledge of the alphabet is not necessary at all. Concentrating on the main task - to teach the child to read - we do not distract ourselves to details that do not lead to the achievement of the goal, but only dissipate the attention of the baby. We work for the result!
6. To the child was more interesting, teaching tasks are interspersed with colorful mini-games.
7. In "Chitaika" there are comments for parents. From them you can find out what exactly is the purpose of each of the training levels, as well as how to better organize the work of the baby with our application.
