TEACHING BALITA GOR READING, WRITING AND COUNTING When was a child
Stages of developing the ability to read, write, and count (calistung) are not skills that can be controlled by children. There are early skills that children need to be able to read, write, and count.
Read. Viewing images is the simplest form of reading. Toddlers aged 3-5 years are expected to have an interest to "read" the images, symbols, and logos around them. For that a child needs high exposure on picture books. At the age of 4-6 years new toddlers are expected to be able to read images, symbols, and logos. For example looking at a photo of Colonel Anderson, he read "Kentucky" or saw the Carrefour logo he could recognize. Reading with patterns is expected to begin to be controlled by toddlers at the age of 5-7 years. In addition to recognizing the shape and pattern, the child must also be able to hold the book well and able to reverse from left to right. This skill is closely related to the development of motor skills of the child.
Write. Long before the child can hold the pencil well, he needs to learn to "graze" (holding the object with his index finger and thumb). He needs to know that writing has meaning. Back again can be developed by showing various books.
Calculation. Children need to understand the concept of arithmetic, one for one thing (one-to-one correspondence). So before teaching children to count one-two-three, teach the child to distribute one object to one person or one object into one hole (can wear congklak). As mentioned above, recognizing symbols including new numbers is expected after a child is 4-6 years old.
For les calistung, should not be given to children under the age of 6 years. Because by the time the child is 6-7 years old, he has just reached sensory and motor maturity. That's when the child is really ready to write and read.
In the end all toddlers should be able to read and write, only the time can vary. Because the development of each child is different. Anyone can read at the age of 4 years or new when the age of 5 years. So do not worry if another toddler has mastered certain skills while your toddler has not. Look at the age range only. Do not force learning to read too early!
If forced to read and write when not ready, toddlers will have an unpleasant experience and rejection appears. However, this advice does not apply to children who have a high interest in reading and writing. If the toddler is very interested, can start teaching or teaching in place les lesungung. Before attending tutoring, pay attention to how to teach. Do not pursue interest in reading, writing and counting even declining children.
Thus writing is very short and desperately needs feedback on reading and writing in early childhood. Conclusion According to the authors, introducing reading and writing from an early age or early childhood education can or can be done with attention to the growth of children and does not make the main learning, since primary learning in early childhood is a natural formation or character or character that is positive for their future be a good man. Thank you.
