The preparatory group in kindergarten is the finish line on the way to school. It was during this period that children of six years old begin to slowly move away from their main activity - games, and learn learning skills. Therefore, it is extremely important to teach the child how to learn: to perceive and assimilate information, to show perseverance, discipline. An important role in this period is played by individual work with children in the preparatory group.
The benefits of individual work with children
As a rule, when planning, the teacher prescribes what kind of work with a particular child will be carried out. It depends on the needs of each baby.
This form of work of the teacher with the pupil is one of the most effective. Indeed, at that time, while the lesson or game is being held, the specialist’s attention is completely given to this baby, which means that the teacher can notice some difficulties in time, guide the child, suggest and correct.
Individual work with children in the preparatory group, as already mentioned, should be planned. Often, a pedagogical psychologist can give recommendations on its organization (based on the results of diagnostics). And, of course, such work will be much more effective if
parents are involved in it
. Work with children in the preschool educational institution is carried out for each section of the program and in different forms. Such planning allows you to cover all areas of the baby’s development and avoid gaps, which will subsequently facilitate his adaptation to the school and ensure effective assimilation of the material.
Forms of individual work with children
What forms of work with preschool children of the preparatory group distinguish? There are a great many of them, at least some of them: specially organized classes in the daily routine, games, excursions, targeted walks, conversations, reading fiction, examining illustrations, experimenting. Depending on what needs to be fixed, the teacher plans individual work with children in the preparatory group. You can organize it on a daily basis. For example, during the reception of children, when not everyone has arrived, after a quiet hour or in the evening, after dinner. The time will come when the children are engaged in free activities, that is, they play in a group. During this period, the teacher invites the child to play with him, draw, read or look at a book. In the process of this activity the tasks are solved.
That is, the child enjoys the process, while consolidating and assimilating material in the game or other type of activity offered to him.
Individual work with children: narrow specialists
In almost every preschool institution, in addition to the musical director and the head of physical education, there are a speech therapist (defectologist) and a psychologist. Their plans also include individual work with children in the preparatory group. Each specialist in the process of this activity solves the problems associated with his field. So, a speech therapist is engaged in the development of speech, and, if necessary, and puts separate sounds. The teacher-psychologist is working on the development of the emotional-volitional sphere and mental processes of the child, the head of physical education takes care of the motor development of the preschooler. In total, the systematic work of all specialists effectively affects the comprehensive development of the child, which means that it guarantees good preparation for learning at school. Another indisputable plus of such work is the personal contact of the teacher with the child, during which not only educational, but also educational tasks are solved.
