Creating conditions for classes in copybooks for preschoolers

The primary task is to organize the baby’s workplace. The child must understand that the play area is incompatible with the learning areas. Therefore, you should carefully consider and determine a comfortable space for practicing copybooks, taking into account the following factors:

Installation of necessary equipment

Let's consider the question of choosing a desk and a chair for it. The parameters directly depend on the baby’s growth. We can safely say that furniture for a child grows with him. The chair on which the future student will sit should not be too high for his feet. When the child sits on the high chair, the feet are comfortably placed on the floor. We also choose a student’s desk based on height, but at the same time taking into account the parameters of the selected chair. The length of the desk is at least 600 millimeters and the width is no more than 50 centimeters. In this case, choose the color of the student desk in a neutral shade. The color should not be too dark or light.

Selection of lighting equipment for a preschooler

A necessary parameter for child visual hygiene. The main criteria when choosing table lighting are:

• Uniform luminous flux.
• No discomfort from too bright light.
• Subtle color and graphic design of the lampshade.
• The lamp should completely hide the light bulb and be shaped like a trapezoid or a small cone.
• It is desirable that the color of the lamp, which is necessary for better visual perception, matches the green tint. This color is favorable for the pupils of the eyes.

Please observe these criteria for the necessary arrangement of a child’s writing area when purchasing. A properly equipped workplace for a future student is a kind of foundation for future achievements.

Preparing a preschooler for practical exercises with copybooks

Having placed the equipment and inventory properly, take care of equally global tasks that are also necessary to achieve your goals. For example, such as:

Gradual adaptation of the child to the desktop. Teach your future student to take a break from games and engage in practical work. Do this systematically and little by little. During such abstractions from games, take up drawing or modeling with your child. The main basis here is the child’s getting used to working at a desk. The best option for adapting to such activities would be daily and at a certain time.

Correct posture at the student desk

To avoid subsequent complications of the spinal muscles and spine, as well as malfunction of internal organs, you should strictly follow the rules for the prevention of poor posture. Since it does not help in preventing curvature in the spinal part and has a beneficial effect on mental performance and the development of attentiveness. Therefore, it is imperative to teach your child to sit correctly at a desk. Below are the basic rules for sitting at a study table:

• The knee part has a strict right angle.
• The elbow joints lie on the student's table.
• The feet of both feet are on the floor. If your feet do not reach the floor surface, you should purchase a special footrest.
• The back is kept straight and not tense. A special protrusion on the back of the chair provides invaluable assistance. It is necessary as support for the lumbar part.
• During classes, make sure that the child does not tilt his head forward or try to bend his back to the side.

Choosing a pen for writing copybooks

This task is not as easy as it might seem initially. Today, the stationery market is extensive and the range of pens is correspondingly rich. To choose the right option for your beloved child, you will have to understand the intricacies of the product you are purchasing.

• The plastic pen tube must have a writing ball tip.
• The ink is pasty and of good quality.
• The handle body has no ribbed surface.
• For left-handers, there are handles with a special angle.
• The rod is required without scratching the paper indicators.
• The length of the writing instrument is medium-sized (about fifteen centimeters).
• Under no circumstances should you use a pen with gel filler, as its use will inevitably lead to a negative calligraphy result.

After the child has become accustomed to systematic studies and has learned to hold his back at the desk, we can say that he is ready to master copybooks.

Rules for alphabetic and numeric spelling in copybook for preschoolers

The next stage is to perform immediate tasks regarding the correct writing of numbers and letters in copybooks. To help your child achieve results, pay attention to:

1. Correct hand position while writing. A right-handed child must remember that the tip of the pen with which he writes points to the shoulder of his right hand. Well, naturally, the mirror image of this rule is the left shoulder for left-handed people.
2. Any writing utensil, be it a pen or a pencil, must be grasped with three fingers. On top is the index and thumb, and on the bottom is the middle.
3. The distance from the rod tip to the index finger is 15 millimeters. Try not to forget about this little detail, otherwise the future student will get used to writing in a way that is convenient for him at that time.
4. When writing, you should not forget about the gap between the desk and the abdominal part of the body; the size of this distance is one fist length.
5. The distance between the eyes and the working base of the table is 30 centimeters, otherwise the child will have vision problems.
6. The copy sheets required to be filled out are rotated 30 degrees away from you for better perception of information.
7. The hand pressure on the writing instrument is average.

When writing alphabetic or numerical values ​​in special notebooks, you should not forget that:

• The hand with which a child writes letters or numbers is directly connected to the wrist. This part of the brush is its direct support.
• When writing, make sure that the little finger and the edge of the writing hand move the wrist gradually and carefully.
• Use rubber tips on writing instruments. They have small grooves for the fingers. With its help, you can speed up the process of holding your hand correctly when writing.

For children who write with their left hand, there are slight deviations from the general rules and they say the following:

• In the process of writing numerical or alphabetic values, the pen and the writer's left hand are in one straight line.
• Unlike the generally accepted left position of the light source for right-handed people, in left-handed children it is located on the right side.
• The paper tilt parameter also changes. In this case it is approximately 20 degrees.
• The distance between the writing tip of the pen and the index finger is separated by 4 centimeters.

Regardless of which hand is more comfortable for a child to write with, one should not forget that exercises are the main help. Training to develop fine motor skills of the hands in preschool age will facilitate the perception of new sensations when writing. Since minor physical activity develops arm muscles.

Completing the above tasks will require time, perseverance, and patience. The main thing is a good mood. This indicator will create a favorable atmosphere for a child to learn to write.
