Drawing by cells for children 6 7. Complex graphic dictations

Reading time: 7 minutes.

Method for developing spatial imagination

Graphic dictations– one of the most effective methods for developing a child’s spatial imagination. They help to achieve precision in hand movements, teach them to deftly use a pen and pencil, and navigate in space. And the child’s free orientation in space is the key to successful mastery of educational material.

In addition, such tasks seem very interesting for children. They are like a game during which the child watches small miracle: before his eyes, thanks to his own actions, a certain hero or object appears in the cells, the page of the notebook comes to life.

While performing such graphic exercises, hard work, perseverance are cultivated, and imagination develops. Children experience pleasure and joy, which directly affects their emotional state.

Ordinary beautiful drawing can only create capable child, but everyone can do it! This inspires the child and gives him confidence in his abilities.

Graphic dictations are often used in diagnostic practice.

Using performance standards, the psychologist has the opportunity to conditionally divide children into 4 categories:

Children who showed a good and sufficient level of test performance. It can be assumed that they will not have any special learning difficulties in the process of acquiring knowledge.
Children who completed the task at an average level mostly correctly followed the verbal instructions, but made a few significant errors at the reproductive level when completing the work independently. Usually they need individual assistance at the initial stage, they mainly adapt to completing educational tasks independently.
Children who showed a low level of performance. Specific reasons are indicated and individual difficulties are analyzed. Such children require increased attention from the teacher and step-by-step control on his part in the process of mastering new knowledge. Difficulties noticed in a timely manner and the use of certain measures to prevent failure significantly increase the likelihood of correcting the situation.
Children who hardly did any work. Individual reasons are analyzed in order to develop correctional and developmental measures to overcome the underachievement of specific children. These children require a more in-depth psychodiagnostic examination and psychological and pedagogical support.

Graphic dictations - how to work?

Graphic dictation can be performed in two versions:

The child is offered a sample of a geometric design and asked to repeat exactly the same design in a checkered notebook.
The adult dictates the sequence of actions indicating the number of cells and their directions (left, right, up, down), the child does the work by ear, and then compares his image of the ornament or figure with the example in the manual using the method of overlay.

Graphic dictations are supplemented with riddles, tongue twisters, and tongue twisters. During the lesson, the child practices correct, clear and literate speech, develops fine motor skills hands, learns to highlight distinctive features items, replenishes your lexicon.

The tasks are selected according to the principle “from simple to complex.” If you start studying these graphic dictations with your child, do the tasks with him in order: start with the very first simple dictations and gradually move on to more complex ones.

For classes, you need a squared notebook, a simple pencil and an eraser so that the child can always correct the wrong line.

For children 5–6 years old, it is better to use a notebook with a large square (0.8 mm) so as not to strain their eyesight.

Starting from an older age, for graphic dictation, all drawings are designed for a regular school notebook (they will not fit in a large-squared notebook).

The following notations are used in the tasks: the number of cells being counted is indicated by a number, and the direction is indicated by an arrow.

For example, the entry:

An example of graphic dictation should read: 1 cell to the right, 3 cells up, 2 cells to the left, 4 cells down, 1 cell to the right.

During classes, the child’s attitude is very important and friendly attitude adult. Remember that classes for a child are not an exam, but a game.

Help your child, make sure he doesn’t make mistakes. The result of the work should always satisfy the child, so that he wants to draw in the cells again and again.

Your task is to help the child in game form master the skills necessary for good study. Therefore, never scold him. If something doesn’t work out for him, just explain how to do it correctly. Praise your baby more often, and never compare with anyone.

The duration of one lesson with graphic dictations should not exceed 10 - 15 minutes for children 5 years old, 15 - 20 minutes for children 5 - 6 years old and 20 - 25 minutes for children 6 - 7 years old.

But if the child gets carried away, do not stop him and interrupt the lesson.

Pay attention to the child’s sitting position during the dictation and how he holds the pencil. Show your child how to hold a pencil between the phalanges of the index, thumb and middle fingers. If your child doesn't count well, help him count the cells in his notebook.

Explain that the hand with which he eats, draws and writes is right hand, and the other hand is the left. For left-handers, on the contrary, it is necessary to explain to left-handers that there are people for whom the working hand is the right, and there are people for whom the working hand is the left.

It can be explained that previously there were slanted desks at school, which is why the top edge of the notebook was called the top edge, and the bottom edge was called the bottom edge. Explain to your child that if you say “to the right,” then you need to point the pencil “there” (to the right). And if you say “to the left,” then you need to point the pencil “there” (to the left) and so on. Show your child how to count the cells.

You yourself will also need a pencil and an eraser in order to mark the lines you read. Dictations can be quite lengthy, and to avoid getting confused, put dots with a pencil opposite the lines you are reading. This will help you not to get lost. After the dictation, you can erase all the dots.

Each lesson includes graphic dictation, discussion of images, tongue twisters, tongue twisters, riddles and finger gymnastics. Each stage of the lesson carries a semantic load.

Activities with your child can be arranged in different sequences. You can first do finger exercises, read tongue twisters and tongue twisters, and then do a graphic dictation. On the contrary, you can first do a graphic dictation, then tongue twisters and finger gymnastics. It is better to ask riddles at the end of the lesson.

When the child draws a picture, talk about the fact that there are objects and their images. Images can be different: photographs, drawings, schematic images. Graphic dictations are a schematic representation of an object.

Talk about how each animal has its own distinctive characteristics. A schematic image shows the distinctive features by which we can recognize an animal or object.

Ask your child what the distinctive features of the animal he or she has drawn are. For example, a hare has long ears and a small tail, an elephant has a long trunk, an ostrich has a long neck, a small head and long legs, and so on.

Work with tongue twisters and tongue twisters different ways:

Let the child pick up the ball and, rhythmically tossing and catching it with his hands, say a tongue twister or a tongue twister. You can throw and catch the ball for each word or syllable.
Let the child say a tongue twister (pure tongue twister) while throwing the ball from one hand to the other.
You can pronounce a tongue twister by clapping the rhythm with your palms.
Suggest saying the tongue twister 3 times in a row and not getting lost.

Do finger exercises together so that the child sees and repeats the movements after you.

And now that you have become familiar with the basic rules for conducting a graphic dictation, you can begin classes.

I have selected several options for graphic dictations for children preschool age. I hope your baby can handle them easily.

Graphic dictations for preschoolers 6-7 years old

Preparing children for school today is becoming one of the most important areas in the work of kindergartens with children of senior preschool age. Within such training, it is important for the teacher, on the one hand, to help the child master the skills and abilities that he will need in the first grade, on the other hand, to refrain from using purely school, teacher methods of conducting classes.

In order to cope with this difficult task, the teacher preschool education you need to have your own specific baggage of teaching methods and techniques.

Materials from Alexandra Sapozhnikova, a teacher at the Institute of Psychology named after. L.S. Vygotsky Russian State University for the Humanities.

Dictation is one of the “classic” school uniforms control and training. Primarily in the field of literacy testing. To successfully cope with dictations, in addition to specific subject skills, you need developed voluntary attention, the ability to clearly follow instructions and integrate into the general rhythm of the group’s work. These qualities can be trained with the help of special “graphic dictations”, invented for children 5.5-6 years old.

Here is the classification and examples of such dictations proposed by Alexandra Sapozhnikova.

Coloring dictations

All children have sheets with the same pictures to color, corresponding to the theme of the lesson, day or week. The adult says that, in what quantity and what color to paint, the children complete the task. If one of the children completes the task faster than others, he can color some other part of the drawing indicated by the adult. When all the children have colored the named part, everyone moves on to the next one - assigned by the adults. Children who worked faster than others leave the extra task they were given for a while and work together with everyone else; if they again complete the task before everyone else, then they do not sit idle, but return to the unfinished part.

Dictation example

All tasks are given with pauses, leaving children time to complete them. Trace and color the upper fin of the fish green, lower fins - yellow. Paint three large scales red, and five small scales blue. Circle the strip on the tail at the dots and make it blue, make the edge of the tail red. Color the bubbles under the fish blue, but so that two large unfilled white bubbles remain, leave four large unfilled bubbles at the top right of the fish, and leave two small unfilled bubbles at the top left of the fish.

Color the remaining parts of the drawing yourself the way you want.
At the end of the dictation or lesson, the work of all children is reviewed. Those that are made in good faith, beautifully and with high quality are signed and hung in a specially designated place.

Picture dictation

An adult slowly, calmly, with expression, but not very emotionally, tells the story. At the same time, he draws on the board what he is talking about. Children draw in albums. They focus on the story, on the board. There is no need to copy the drawing on the board. Looking at the board, children learn to compare their work with the image, correlate it with what they saw and heard. At later stages of training, drawing dictations are carried out without relying on a model on the board. This type of work is also possible: an adult or a child works at the board, but the result shows when the dictation is finished.

Dictation example

First option

The story is told calmly, quite slowly.
The sky is overcast. Heavy. Low. Long.(An adult draws on the board.) The sun broke through to the right. But it doesn't heat up at all.(An adult draws.) The wind is sharp and gusty. When a gust of wind blows, large waves appear on the sea(adult draws) , gradually they subside, subside, subside(draws) and become very small. With a new gust of wind they rise again, large and menacing(draws) and again they subside, subside, subside(draws) .

The bottom is difficult and unusual. It is all laid out with long flat slabs(adult draws) . The plates fit so tightly to each other that the bottom itself is almost invisible(adult draws) . But in some places algae was attached to the bottom(draws) : on the right - three, and on the left - two. They have sprouted between the stones and stretch, stretch, stretch upward, towards the sun(draws) . On the slab on the far right are two large sinks.(draws) . These are rapana(draws) . They slowly stood up and(draws) crawling. Next to them are two more small shells - small rapanchiki(draws) . On the leftmost slab lies a large starfish(adult draws) . She is beautiful and bright. I want to touch her. And here's another one - a little star(draws) .

Small fish swim between the algae(draws) . There are seven of them(draws) . A huge fish swam to the right behind the small fish(adult draws) , and behind it another one(draws) . They tried to catch small fish, but the small fish hid in the seaweed. Then big fish swam to the rapana. They are looking for something to profit from. There are smaller fish swimming at the top left(draws) , but also large. There are four of them(draws) . They eat algae. They take a bite, swim away a little, and swallow it. Then they swim up again.

On the left is the bank. He is cool (draws). This is part of the rock. There is a fisherman standing on it - a young man (draws). Strong. In a striped sweater (draws), hat, pants (draws), warm boots (draws). He is fishing (draws).

Second option

The sea is quiet and calm. From time to time the breeze blows and the sea ripples(adult draws) .

The wind drove the clouds. Three. One is big(draws) , the other is smaller and the third is very small(draws) .

To the right the sun is just rising. The first rays appeared(draws) . The bottom consists of stones. Different. Round, oval, long, elongated along the bottom(draws) .

Clams crawl along the stones from left to right. A lot of them(draws ). They crawl to the algae to have breakfast. There are three small algae growing on the right(draws) , then - two more(draws). But all the shellfish crawl here, to the large thickets of algae. And little fish swam to them. Five fish(draws ). And three bigger fish swam after them(draws) . They stopped and thought about what to eat - algae or shellfish. While they were thinking, a huge fish swam(draws) . She doesn't need seaweed or shellfish. She loves fish.

There is a raft near the shore. It consists of thick logs nailed together with planks (draws). A boy on a raft (draws). He's shaggy - he was in such a hurry to go fishing that he didn't even comb his hair (draws). He is fishing (draws).

Dictation by cells

This is a well-known type of graphic dictation, when an adult dictates how many cells and in which direction a line needs to be drawn to make a pattern or drawing.

"Graphic dictation".

Graphic dictation is the execution of patterns and drawings under dictation. Develops the ability to hear and understand, verbal instructions, perform tasks according to a model, than models educational activities schoolboy. This task is one of the most common in diagnosing a child’s readiness for school and, therefore, one of the most often used in the development of his volition.

I think some of you will object to me that a child is not a computer and should not be a dumb performer, but you will agree that the ability to listen and hear is an important quality that is necessary not only in school, but is useful in life.

To complete the task, your child will need a sheet of checkered paper, a simple pencil and an eraser. The execution rules depend on the type of graphic dictation, which can be divided into three types:

Linear - a pattern made in a line. The child is dictated to the first part, consisting of one or two complete cycles, then he performs it himself according to the pattern he already has, understanding the logic of the pattern;

Volumetric - performed under dictation three-dimensional drawing, which is subsequently copied nearby. When the child has practiced copying a direct image, invite him to practice copying the reverse one, that is, by turning the picture over in a mirror image;

Artistic - it is extremely difficult to dictate them, and, probably, in this case it is not so relevant. The thing is that a drawing that is prepared for a child on a checkered sheet has many starting points and, accordingly, many lines. Therefore, in this case, the setting is only to copy the picture (Figure 6).

These tasks can be used in various lessons at school. As they are presented above, for example, in mathematics lessons in primary school in addition to the main goal - developing attention, additionally for the purpose of developing students' orientation in space. In mathematics lessons at the secondary level, you can use this task, for example, when mastering the rectangular coordinate system, specifying the direction of the drawing lines with mathematical coordinates.

Place points in the coordinate system and connect them sequentially:

" (-4,4); (-3,4); (-3,6); (-1,6); (-1,5); (0,5); (0,4); (3,4); (3,3); (5,3); (5,6); (6,6); (6,1); (5,1); (5,0); (4,0); (4,-1); (2,-1); (2,0); (3,0); (3,1); (0,1); (0,0); (-1,0); (-1,-1); (-3,-1); (-3,0); (-2,0); (-2,2); (-3,2); (-3,3); (-4,3); (-4,4).

" (-4,-2); (-4,-1); (-2,-1); (0,1); (2,1); (3,0); (3,-2); (1,-2); (1,-1); (0,-2); (-4,-2).

" (-4,3); (-4,-3); (2,-3); (2,3); (-1,6); (-4,3); (2,3).

" (0,0); (1,1); (1,5); (2,6); (3,5); (3,1); (4,0); (4,-3); (3,-2); (2,-3); (1,-2); (0,-3); (0,0).

" (0,3); (1,1); (3,1); (1,0); (2,-2); (0,-2); (-2,-2); (-1,0); (-3,1); (-1,1); (0,3).

You can use this type of task in geography or natural science, introducing children to the designation of parts of the world.

" 2 north, 1 northeast, 1 east, 1 southeast, 1 south, 2 southeast, 2 east, 3 northeast, 1 east, 1 southwest , 3 south, 2 southwest, 2 west, 1 southwest, 2 south, 1 east, 1 south, 1 northwest, 1 southwest, 1 west, 1 to the northeast, 2 to the north, 1 to the northwest, 1 to the west, 1 to the northwest, 2 to the north, 1 to the northwest, 1 to the west, 1 to the northeast.

" 3 east, 2 southeast, 1 south, 1 northwest, 4 south, 2 west, 2 north, 3 west, 2 south, 2 west, 4 north, 1 southwest, 3 west, 2 north, 1 east, 1 south, 1 east, 2 north, 2 northeast, 2 east, 1 southeast, 3 south, 1 to the southwest, 1 to the northwest, 1 to the north.

" 2 to the northeast, 1 to the east, 1 to the southeast, 2 to the south, 4 to the southwest, 4 to the northwest, 2 to the north, 1 to the northeast, 1 to the east, 2 to the south -East.

" 1 southwest, 2 north, 1 southeast, 2 north, 1 west, 2 northwest, 3 north, 2 west, 2 northeast, 2 southeast , 2 to the south, 3 to the east, 2 to the northeast, 3 to the south, 2 to the southwest, 2 to the west.

"6 to the southeast, 6 to the northeast, 12 to the west, 9 to the south, 12 to the east, 9 to the north.

In addition to the purely technical tasks proposed above, we can propose to further complicate this task by introducing elements of creativity into it. Firstly, the child can be asked to come up with a pattern or design himself. Even preschool children show this kind of creative activity, although, of course, for them this kind of the task may turn out to be quite difficult, but I don’t think it’s worth denying them this pleasure. And secondly, you can give the child the opportunity to dictate his own image for execution by another child or group of children under his dictation. These two types of tasks are the most difficult and require a certain level of development of various child skills

Graphic dictations
(Drawing by cells)

Admission to school – important point in the life of a child and his parents. How better baby will be prepared for school psychologically, emotionally and intellectually, the more confident he will feel, the easier his adaptation period in primary school will be.

Graphic dictations for preschoolers help parents and teachers systematically prepare their child for school and prevent such typical learning difficulties as underdeveloped spelling vigilance, restlessness and absent-mindedness. Regular classes with these graphic dictations develop the child’s voluntary attention, spatial imagination, fine motor skills of the fingers, coordination of movements, and perseverance.

Drawing by cells is very exciting and useful activity for children. This is a playful way to develop a child’s spatial imagination, fine motor skills of the fingers, coordination of movements, and perseverance. Graphic dictations can be successfully used for children from 5 to 10 years old.

By completing the tasks proposed in the graphic dictations below, the child will broaden his horizons, increase his vocabulary, learn to navigate a notebook, and become familiar with different ways of depicting objects.

How to work with these graphic dictations:

Each dictation contains tasks for children aged 5–7 years.

Graphic dictation can be performed in two versions:
1. The child is offered a sample of a geometric design and asked to repeat exactly the same design in a checkered notebook.
2. The adult dictates the sequence of actions indicating the number of cells and their directions (left, right, up, down), the child does the work by ear, and then compares his image of the ornament or figure with the example in the manual using the overlay method.

Graphic dictations are supplemented with riddles, tongue twisters, tongue twisters and finger exercises. During the lesson, the child practices correct, clear and literate speech, develops fine motor skills, learns to identify the distinctive features of objects, and expands his vocabulary.

For classes, you need a squared notebook, a simple pencil and an eraser so that the child can always correct the wrong line. For children 5–6 years old, it is better to use a notebook with a large square (0.8 mm) so as not to strain their eyesight. Starting from graphic dictation No. 40, all drawings are designed for a regular school notebook (they will not fit in a large-squared notebook).

The following notations are used in the tasks: the number of cells being counted is indicated by a number, and the direction is indicated by an arrow. For example, the entry:

should read: 1 cell to the right, 3 cells up, 2 cells to the left, 4 cells down, 1 cell to the right.

During classes, the child’s attitude and the friendly attitude of the adult are very important. Remember that classes for a child are not an exam, but a game. Help your child, make sure he doesn’t make mistakes. The result of the work should always satisfy the child, so that he wants to draw in the cells again and again.

Your task is to help your child master the skills necessary for good study in a playful way. Therefore, never scold him. If something doesn’t work out for him, just explain how to do it correctly. Praise your baby more often, and never compare with anyone.

Before each lesson, be sure to talk with your child about the fact that there are different directions and sides. Show him where is right, where is left, where is up, where is down. Pay attention to the baby that every person has a right and a left side. Explain that the hand with which he eats, draws and writes is his right hand, and the other hand is his left. For left-handers, on the contrary, it is necessary to explain to left-handers that there are people for whom the working hand is the right, and there are people for whom the working hand is the left.

After this, you can open the notebook and teach your child to navigate on a piece of paper. Show your child where the left edge of the notebook is, where the right edge is, where the top is, where the bottom is. It can be explained that previously there were slanted desks at school, which is why the top edge of the notebook was called the top edge, and the bottom edge was called the bottom edge. Explain to your child that if you say “to the right,” then you need to point the pencil “there” (to the right). And if you say “to the left,” then you need to point the pencil “there” (to the left) and so on. Show your child how to count the cells.

Each lesson includes graphic dictation, discussion of images, tongue twisters, tongue twisters, riddles and finger gymnastics. Each stage of the lesson carries a semantic load. Activities with your child can be arranged in different sequences. You can first do finger exercises, read tongue twisters and tongue twisters, and then do a graphic dictation. On the contrary, you can do graphic dictation first, then tongue twisters and finger gymnastics. It is better to ask riddles at the end of the lesson.
When the child draws a picture, talk about the fact that there are objects and their images. Images can be different: photographs, drawings, schematic images. A graphic dictation is a schematic representation of an object.

Talk about how each animal has its own distinctive characteristics. A schematic image shows the distinctive features by which we can recognize an animal or object. Ask your child what the distinctive features of the animal he or she has drawn are. For example, a hare has long ears and a small tail, an elephant has a long trunk, an ostrich has a long neck, a small head and long legs, and so on.

Work with tongue twisters and tongue twisters in different ways:
1. Let the child pick up the ball and, rhythmically tossing and catching it with his hands, say a tongue twister or a tongue twister. You can throw and catch the ball for each word or syllable.
2. Let the child say a tongue twister (pure tongue twister) while throwing the ball from one hand to the other.
3. You can pronounce a tongue twister by clapping the rhythm with your palms.
4. Suggest saying the tongue twister 3 times in a row and not getting lost.
Do finger exercises together so that the child sees and repeats the movements after you.
And now that you have become familiar with the basic rules for conducting a graphic dictation, you can begin classes.

Mathematical dictations

1st class

The benefits of mental calculations are enormous. By performing oral arithmetic operations, children not only repeat the rules of arithmetic, reinforce them, but also, most importantly, learn not mechanically, but meaningfully. With oral calculations, such valuable qualities as attention, concentration, endurance, ingenuity, and independence develop.

The effectiveness of oral arithmetic depends not only on the correct determination of the volume and content of these classes, but also on their organization: the correct setting of tasks and questioning, the rational recording of students’ knowledge and skills, the correct alternation of oral and written calculations. Most often, tasks are offered orally. This form of organizing classes is the most valuable, as students develop attention and memory, and most importantly, they prepare for “life” arithmetic, where they often have to perform operations on numbers perceived by ear. However, this form requires a lot mental stress, and therefore tires children relatively quickly, especially those who have a predominant visual memory.

The use of only this form of classes observed in school practice leads to the fact that not all children participate in mental calculation. There are especially many passive students when the dictated exercises contain large numbers or when many listening tasks are given in a row. To avoid this, it is necessary to alternate purely auditory exercises with exercises on visual perception.

The main purpose of the mathematical dictations presented in this work is to help the teacher effectively train children’s attention span, working memory, and ability to concentrate. Based on these goals, the following groups of tasks are given in the dictations:

· operating rooms , in which you need to calculate, solve problems, perform transformations, etc., receiving information by ear;

· brain teaser, in which you need to evaluate the truth of a statement, for which you need to be attentive and focused, be able to listen, hear and analyze data;

· aimed at mastering mathematicalterminology.

The proposed tasks provide meaningful educational material stageoral work at the beginning of a mathematics lesson, as well as a summing up stage at the end of the lesson. The development of competent mathematical speech is facilitated by the presence in each dictation of samples of reading mathematical expressions.

The introduction of game elements and non-standard tasks into mathematical dictation helps children who are interested in mathematics maintain and develop interest in it, and children who have difficulties with mathematics understand and love it.

Conducting a dictation can be organized like this:

1. The teacher reads aloud dictation assignments from one option. Students write down their answers on pieces of paper or in notebooks. Immediately (or at the end of the lesson) you should show the correct answers and discuss solutions to individual tasks.

2. Individual students may read dictation assignments aloud as directed by the teacher. This is especially useful for children with poor reading skills, as well as for those who have a predominant visual perception.

3. It is useful from time to time in the class to give all students dictation texts for independent work with them (by writing down the dictation text on the board). This is important for remembering the spelling of mathematical terms.

4. Mathematical dictations can also be given for homework under the guidance of parents. This will allow each student to additionally calmly practice reading mathematical texts, slowly understand individual problems, and test their knowledge.

Grades for work are given taking into account the number of correctly solved tasks. If there are 6 (or 8) tasks in the dictation, the grades can be as follows:

Number of less correct answers

6 (8)

5 (7)

4 (5–6)

4 (5)

Graphic dictation, drawing by cells

Below are cards with graphic dictations for children in color pictures. In the right column is a sheet that needs to be printed and given to the child. In the left column, opposite the card with a graphic dictation for a child, there is a sheet for an adult. You need to start drawing from the point indicated in the picture. An adult names a number that indicates the number of cells over which a line needs to be drawn and the direction of movement to the right or left (the direction is indicated by arrows). The result should be a drawing with an image similar to the template. Have fun and useful activities!

Artists: E. Belyaeva, E.A. Timofeeva.

How to do graphic dictation

(Rules for drawing by cells).

To begin, on the dictation sheet, in the upper corners, put marks - right and left (if the child does not yet know these concepts). This is necessary in order not to confuse the child, so that he remembers which side, where and what is located. Now start completing the task. The sheet contains the complete image that should be obtained in the end. You take this sheet for yourself, give the child a squared notebook sheet, a pencil and an eraser. Below the picture there are arrows pointing to the right, left, up or down. Near the arrows there are numbers indicating how many sticks need to be drawn in one direction or another (how many cells to close in the direction indicated by the arrow). First there is a number, next to it is an arrow indicating the direction.

this means you need to draw a line 2 cells up from the point,

Then 3 cells to the right and 2 cells down.

In the end the drawing will look like this (see picture)

note, that the pointers (arrows and numbers) in the tasks (provided on our website) should be read from left to right.

At the top of the picture it is always indicated how many cells need to be retreated from the edge and top to start the dictation. In the indicated place, for example: retreat 9 cells from the edge to the left, count 4 cells from above. In this place you need to put a bold point. Help children younger age who do not yet know how to count well or count cells independently. Set a starting point (from this point the child will draw lines under dictation).

Preparing a child for school is a long and obligatory process. Therefore, psychologists and pediatricians recommend starting a year before first grade, in kindergarten or at home. Because the baby needs to be prepared not only for mental and physical stress, but also moral. In general, how to educate, help to become more diligent, attentive and courageous.

If a child can still be mentally prepared for big changes, through communication with peers in the yard and kindergarten. You can teach your child to be more attentive, develop writing skills, and carefully complete certain tasks with the help of graphic dictations and drawing in cells. Today, this is an incredibly popular activity that has won the hearts of not only preschool children, but also teenagers. This is a way to teach your child to write, develop logic, abstract thinking, perseverance and painstakingness, as well as fine motor skills. With the help of this activity, the child develops coordination, stability and corrects the correctness of his movements, so to speak, “getting a steady hand,” which will undoubtedly help him in school, when writing dictations and notes in a short period of time.

What are graphic dictations? Imagine in front of you a sheet of paper with cells drawn on it. The task contains arrows (showing the direction) and numbers (showing the number of cells that need to be passed in the indicated direction). If you follow the signs accurately and carefully, draw a line in the right direction at the right distance, you get an image - a picture. In other words: graphic dictations are drawing in cells using the pointers in the task.

Such activities are recommended not only for preschool children in kindergartens, but also for children up to 12 years of age. After all, attentiveness and coordination of movements can be developed at an older age. An exciting activity is an entertaining leisure time not only for children, but also for adults. The recommended age for starting to draw graphic dictations is from 4 years. It is at this age that fine motor skills begin to develop, with the help of drawing in cells.

Graphic dictations are used as an educational game in various places: at home, in extracurricular activities, on vacation, at sea, in the country, and even in a summer camp. It is important to interest children, and what will do this better than such an activity. After all, the end result will be an unknown picture, which can then be painted with pencils or felt-tip pens. By explaining this to your child, you don’t have to worry about his interest in this, not so much an activity as a game that develops his imagination.

So let's start execution. First of all, you need to prepare, namely, purchase a collection of graphic dictations. You can get them not only in specialized children's book stores, but also in stationery stores and second-hand bookstores. You can download them for free on some websites on the Internet (for example, on our website), you can also go to paid sites. The choice of such tasks is large; choose based on the age, gender and hobbies of the child. For kids just starting classes, it is best to choose graphic dictations (drawing by cells) with images of bunnies, cats, and dogs. For girls: princesses, flowers. But you can start with simple ones. geometric shapes: squares, triangles, prisms. This way you will immediately teach your child coordination of movements, improve hand motor skills, develop perseverance and attentiveness, and tell him about the names and types of geometric shapes. For boys, dictations with images of cars, animals, robots, castles, and funny people are suitable. The easiest graphic dictations, with simple figures and performed in one color - for beginners. More complex tasks - for older children. Choose graphic dictations on a topic that interests your child. If your child plays music, use drawings musical instruments, treble clefs and sheet music.

If you have already practiced drawing with your child using squares, start adding variety to your activities. That is, at 5-6 years old, you can do dictations that help you develop even more. That is, buy drawings with those animals that the child has not yet seen and does not know what they look like. Use colors that the baby has not yet learned very well. Expand your child’s horizons in this way, let him increase and replenish his vocabulary with new words, teach them, and find out where they can be used. The main thing is good mood, passion and positive attitude crumbs before performing any task. Under such conditions, studying will indeed be incredibly useful, fruitful and not stressful for the child.

After selecting graphic dictations, start preparing. Remember that the child must be praised for a job well done. Even if the picture doesn’t work out yet, you don’t need to constantly prompt, guide and compare with other children. It is necessary to guide and push a little in the right direction. To do this, first of all, you need to teach the child where the left side is and where the right side is. Show where the top and bottom are on the piece of paper. This simple and simple knowledge will help you complete all graphic dictations with 100% accuracy.

Sit near a table with a flat and smooth surface so that the child can sit straight and correctly in the chair. Pay attention to the lighting. Advice: if you want to accustom your child to a school notebook, give him the opportunity to get used to it, learn to navigate, prepare graphic dictations on a sheet of paper, exactly like a school notebook. Now prepare a simple pencil and an eraser so that incorrect stripes can be easily removed and the same dictation can be continued again. Prepare yourself a pencil and eraser as well.

It is worth keeping an eye on the time so that the child does not get tired, so that his hands and eyes rest. Although if the child is not tired and wants to continue and finish the work now, there is no need to take away the dictation, the child will decide for himself when enough is enough.

There are time limits for working with graphic dictations

For children 5 years of age – maximum 15 minutes. For older children, up to 6 years old – a maximum of 20 minutes (from 15 minutes). For first-graders (6 or 7 years old) – maximum 30 minutes, minimum – 20 minutes.

Drawing by squares is a great way to teach your child to use a pencil and pen. Teach how to hold it correctly, practice so that your fingers don’t get so tired from holding an object at school. This exercise will help you teach your baby to count correctly, since he will need to count the exact number of cells before starting the lesson.

And so: in front of you lies a graphic dictation task, a pencil. In front of the child is a squared piece of paper or a notebook, an eraser and a simple pencil. On the child’s sheet, with or without your help, a reference point is depicted in the indicated place. Explain that from this point lines begin to be drawn (right, left, down and up), in the direction and with the number of cells that you name. Now proceed, next to the named task, and they are indicated in a line, put a dot with a pencil so as not to forget where you finished the dictation, not to confuse the child and, of course, yourself. Watch what the child is doing. Tell me if the baby is confused about where the left and right sides are. Count together, if necessary, the number of cells.

For example, you have a figure, the most standard one is a house. Tell your child what kind of drawing you will end up with, or keep it a secret for even more interest. From the point you need:

1 → - 1 cell to the right

Dictate clearly; the child must perceive everything by ear. At the end of the work, look at how much the baby’s figures coincide with the given elements. If the baby made a mistake, find out together where exactly. Using an eraser, erase the extra lines, starting from the point of failure, and continue drawing. It is important to maintain the child’s good mood during the learning process.

Graphic dictations - drawing by cells - a very exciting and useful activity for children. This is a playful way to develop a child’s spatial imagination, fine motor skills of the fingers, coordination of movements, voluntary attention, and perseverance.

Graphic dictations can be successfully used for children from 5 to 10 years old.

How to work with these graphic dictations:

Graphic dictation can be performed in two versions:

1. The child is offered a sample of a geometric design and asked to repeat exactly the same design in a checkered notebook.

2. The adult dictates the sequence of actions indicating the number of cells and their directions (left, right, up, down), the child does the work by ear, and then compares his image of the ornament or figure with the example in the manual using the overlay method.

The following notations are used in the tasks: the number of cells being counted is indicated by a number, and the direction is indicated by an arrow. For example, the entry:

Pay attention to how the child holds the pencil. Show your child how to hold a pencil between the phalanges of the index, thumb and middle fingers. If your child doesn't count well, help him count the cells in his notebook.

Before each lesson, be sure to remember with your child where is right, where is left, where is up, where is down. Show your child where the left edge of the notebook is, where the right edge is, where the top is, where the bottom is. Show your child how to count the cells.

You yourself may also need a pencil in order to mark the lines you read, and in order not to get confused, put dots with a pencil opposite the lines you are reading. This will help you not to get lost.

Work with tongue twisters and tongue twisters in different ways:

1. Let the child take the ball in his hands and, rhythmically tossing and catching it with his hands, slowly say a tongue twister or tongue twister. You can throw and catch the ball for each word or syllable.

2. Let the child say a tongue twister (pure tongue twister) while throwing the ball from one hand to the other.

3. You can pronounce a tongue twister by clapping the rhythm with your palms.

4. Suggest saying the tongue twister 3 times in a row and not getting lost.

Do finger exercises together so that the child sees and repeats the movements after you.

Your task is to help your child master the skills necessary for good study in a playful way. Therefore, do not scold your child and if he does not succeed in something, simply explain how to do it correctly. Praise your baby more often, and never compare with anyone.

Duration of one lesson with graphic dictations:

for children 5 years old should not exceed 10 - 15 minutes,

for children 5 – 6 years old - 15 – 20 minutes

for children 6 - 7 years old - 20 - 25 minutes.

But if the child gets carried away, do not stop him and interrupt the lesson.
