Most of today's existing training programs for children are designed for preschoolers. Their main task is to teach a letter, an account in an interesting game form. Also, during such training, the child learns the names of colors, geometric shapes, etc. In addition, the gameplay contributes to the formation of assiduity and attention to the baby.
Types of training programs
If you decide to use computer training programs for classes with your child, then there are 2 options for such programs: online and stationary.
From the name it is clear that to use one, you need a network, and the second - installed directly on your computer's hard drive and available at any time.
Learning to read
Also, except for the above classification, there is also the division of training programs depending on the purpose of training. It is known that most of them are intended for preschool children. However, there are also such programs that teach children ABC (allow to memorize the alphabet), and then to reading. An example can be Azbuka Pro.
The purpose of this application is to fully educate the child to read and write. In this case, classes begin with the study of the alphabet. The process of learning to read is in the form of a game. The program also integrates the English language, and an application for studying colors and geometric shapes.
Learning to Count
To date, there are a huge number of programs for teaching children math. Most of them assume that the child already knows the numbers and teaches the account. But there are also those who start learning by getting to know the numbers.
There are programs that contribute not only to learning, but also to the development of children. They are based on modeling of various life situations. So, for example, a child learns some safety rules, learns correct behavior in school, uses electrical appliances, and learns how to behave in the event of emergencies. Therefore, such programs can not only teach a child, but also save his life in an extreme situation.
Features of training
Like any educational process, interactive methods of learning on the computer also require the help of parents. To begin with, it is necessary to explain to the child several times what is required of him from this or that task, and then to check how he performs it independently. As a rule, the child grasps everything on the fly, and 2-3 times he will do everything without prompting.
When teaching, in no case should you raise your voice to the child. This will only discourage him, and when he sees the computer, he will have a panic. In the future it will be difficult to interest.
Benefit and harm
Many parents are negative about such programs. The whole point is that it is medically proven that with a long stay at the computer some dependence develops. But it's more about games.
Training programs also allow not only to teach children reading, but even to learn English and any other foreign language. But this training should also be dosed - do not let the child at the computer for more than half an hour a day.
For children from 3 to 7 years you can recommend installing such a package of training programs:
- ABC Memori - English alphabet is a learning program for teaching children English in the form of an exciting developing game.
- Coloring for children 3.1 - electronic coloring: more than 250 different children's pictures, coloring which the child will have fun and interesting time.
- Azbuka Pro is a program for studying letters and numbers in a game form, designed for children aged 3 to 7 years.
- Abacus - the emulator of a counting board for training toddlers account.
- Scrabble Geography 1000 - children's test program for knowledge of geography.
You can also highlight the added value of training programs. So in the process of studying the child will learn the basics of working with a computer. In addition, when the child is engaged, the mother has time to do other housework. However, do not abuse this and leave the child for a long time unattended. After all, all responsibility for the upbringing and education of children lies with adults.
