Project activities as a means of introducing preschoolers to fiction.

Modern education is at a new stage of development - it is being modernized. In this regard, the educational institution is focused on a creative, successful person, so updating the content of preschool education, technology and quality systems is natural.

Introducing the younger generation to literature is one of the priorities of modern education. Reading works of literature is considered today as an essential element of culture. Meanwhile, a number of negative trends in the field of children's literature and children's reading have recently emerged. The active introduction of computer and information technologies into a child’s life reduces the status of literature, and the share of reading in the structure of children’s free time is sharply reduced.

Parents who read are role models. But at present the family is in a state of crisis, and due to a number of objective reasons its influence on the formation of a child reader is difficult. This process is facilitated by the lack of proper attention to the process of developing the child’s reading interest on the part of the father and mother. Children have little in common with books, and this is reflected primarily in their intelligence, literacy, moral and emotional development.

Through fiction, we introduce the child to the values without which the spiritual life of society and the individual is impossible. Currently, this is very important, since society is experiencing a moral and moral crisis.

The Federal State Educational Standard for Preschool Education includes the task of familiarizing preschoolers with book culture in the educational field of speech development, the main goal of which is to develop children’s interest and love for books, and to educate future readers [2, clause 2.6. Federal State Educational Standard DO].

Based on this, we can conclude that the state and society have put forward requirements for introducing students to fiction, but in practice it is impossible to fully introduce them, since:

the child shows no interest in fiction;
the child is careless with the book;
there is no system in working to introduce preschoolers to fiction;
indifference on the part of parents to the process of introducing preschoolers to fiction.

This problem requires an immediate search for a solution, since fiction is the basis on the path to knowledge. In our kindergarten, much attention is paid to project activities, which, of course, is one of the effective ways to solve this problem, because it is in project activities that such important principles as cooperation between the teacher and children and the principle of joint development are combined. Another important detail is that it is the method of project activity that gives children the opportunity to independently acquire and synthesize acquired knowledge, develop creative abilities, and communication skills. Another undoubted advantage of this method is that it allows parents of preschoolers to be involved in and reveal the values of joint creativity with their children, as well as increase their competence in introducing preschoolers to fiction.

To summarize, I would like to note that project activity in the process of introducing preschoolers to fiction is a fairly successful method of activity for our teachers. Positive results were noted. The level of development of interest in fiction on the part of preschoolers has changed positively.

Children began to show interest in listening to literary works more often. With great pleasure, the preschoolers began to analyze the text, answering questions about the work they had read. Children began to take more active part in games - dramatizations of works of art based on text, to show creative initiative in reproducing the plot, creating images of heroes.

Children successfully master the program material, use the acquired knowledge, skills and abilities in direct educational activities, educational activities during routine moments, and in independent activities. The vocabulary of preschoolers has been enriched. Children develop a sufficient level of dialogic and monologue speech, which parents readily note. Preschoolers have become more emotionally responsive, friendlier, and more inquisitive. Children began to treat books more carefully. In conclusion, I would like to note that no one has ever been given a love for a book from birth, therefore, in order for a child to fall in love with it, a lot of serious work is needed.

Project “Reading with Passion”

Municipal budgetary preschool educational institution kindergarten No. 8 “Mosaic”

Project

"Reading with passion"

Compiled by: Head of the Educational Organization “Reading with Passion”

Teacher-psychologist Kirina T.V.

Gremyachinsk, 2022

“If a child has not developed a love for books since childhood, if reading has not become his spiritual need for the rest of his life, during his adolescence the soul of a teenager will be empty, crawling out into the light of day, as if something bad had come from nowhere” V.A. Sukhomlinsky

Relevance of the project:

In modern society, the role of television, computers and other technical means in the lives of parents and their children is increasing. Therefore, at present, communication between parents and children and the role of reading in the family are being downplayed. Today, many people do not read books, which indicates a significant decline in the population’s literacy and loss of interest in literature. It is a book that is a source of knowledge, development and understanding of the world for a child; reading helps a child to assimilate material, develop speech, memory, and thinking. Psychologists and educators are sounding the alarm. Modern preschoolers speak poorly, and the number of children with speech disorders is increasing every year. Mastering correct speech by preschool children will create a reliable foundation for their successful learning. It is necessary to develop a child’s need for reading as a source of further development.

At preschool age, the little reader takes his first steps into the world of great literature. Parents and educators become guides for children. It largely depends on the adult whether the child will become a real reader or whether encountering a book in preschool will become a random, meaningless episode in his life. Family reading is of particular importance for a child’s reading destiny. Listening to an adult read, looking at book illustrations with him, the child actively thinks, worries about the characters, anticipates events, and establishes connections between his experience and the experience of others. Reading together brings adults and children together, stimulates and fills rare and joyful moments of spiritual communication with content, and cultivates a kind and loving heart in a child. Family reading traditions are a very important part of the family education system. And you shouldn’t think that it will become a thing of the past because, that is, television, computer and other sources of information. Family reading is not a way to get information, it is the most important and best way of communication and unobtrusive education, which is the most effective. Parents, through family reading, help to instill an interest in reading in children.
