Учим читать по-русски детей 3–7 лет — в России и за её пределами. Learn to read Russian: for children aged 3–7 who speak Russian at home. All lessons and voice-overs are in Russian. Кидби — азбука для детей и программа обучения чтению: ребёнок учит буквы и звуки, читает по слогам, а затем слова и простые предложения. Приложение разработано под руководством педагогов и психологов. • Как устроено обучение • В Кидби 2500+ развивающих игр для детей, сложность растёт постепенно и незаметно. Ребёнок проходит три этапа: → Учим буквы и звуки. Ребёнок слышит звук в слове (звуковой анализ), собирает букву из частей, обводит и прописывает её и закрепляет связь «звук ↔ буква». Это алфавит для детей, где важно не только название буквы, но и то, как она звучит. → Учимся читать по слогам. Ребёнок слышит и находит слог, собирает слоги из букв, читает открытые и закрытые слоги. → Читаем слова и предложения. Задания опираются на уже пройденные буквы и слоги, поэтому чтение для детей становится спокойным и уверенным. • Готовые уроки по буквам • Педагоги собрали последовательные уроки по каждой букве русского алфавита — это не набор разрозненных мини-игр, а путь: учим буквы → читаем по слогам → читаем слова. Занимайтесь каждый день для стабильного прогресса. • Азбука со стихами • В разделе «Азбука» ребёнок знакомится с буквами через анимированные стихи и открывает новые слова. • Обводка букв, раскраски и пазлы • Буквы для детей можно обводить и писать по образцу, раскрашивать буквы и животных, собирать пазлы со словами и картинками. Творческие задания помогают лучше запомнить буквы. • Озвучено актёрами • Все задания озвучены: ребёнок слышит правильное произношение букв, слогов и слов и может заниматься самостоятельно, без помощи родителей. • Подготовка к школе • Кидби подходит для подготовки к школе: развивающие игры для детей 4, 5 и 6 лет тренируют фонематический слух, внимание и первые навыки чтения. Нравится и мальчикам, и девочкам. • Как начать • Укажите возраст ребёнка → выберите цели → готово! Алгоритм подберёт персональную программу. Мы открыты для ваших пожеланий: kidbeeapp@gmail.com Кидби — с любовью к детям и родителям.
