That's just how to convince the child that the learned rhyme in the future will help him in life? The answer is simple: you have to teach your child to love poetry!
In what return should we begin to teach children to love poetry? The earlier the better! It is no accident that the lullabies are created in a rhymed form: rhythmic lines soothe children, and rhyme is pleasant by ear.
Even the youngest children listen with pleasure to the stories told with a sense of the poem, remember individual lines and repeat after the readers. This can be used to enthrall the child with verses and tell them with him: just pause when reading the child's familiar poems, and ask him to pick up the next word. This "writing" develops a sense of rhyme and vocabulary. Gradually, you can develop this game further and teach children to write poetry. Start with the rhymed lines on the well-known to the child themes or describe what you see: "We will put on shoes Galyushka - we will go to visit my grandmother".
All children like to organize home concerts - this can also be used. Organize with the kid a performance for some holiday, on which he will tell poems for relatives and friends. Choose the "repertoire" interesting to the child and teach him to tell the works with expression, in faces. You can come up with a whole scene and involve in it older brothers or sisters, a grandmother or grandfather, as well as stage costumes and scenery.
Another good way is to draw learned poems. Let your kid draw one or several pictures, where he will depict the main characters of the poem, the events taking place. This will make the memorization of the poem more interesting, it will help to better understand its content. After that you can return to these illustrations and ask the child to read the poem drawn.
Children tend to remember what they like. If the child refuses to learn poetry, try to find ones that would be close to him. Perhaps, it is necessary to review the submission of the material: if you read the baby in monotonous voice of a work from a thick gray book, then it will be uninteresting to perceive the text. It is quite another matter when the book is with beautiful color illustrations, which are nice to see, and different voices are voiced by different voices. Another common mistake of parents is overly mature poetry. Of course, it will be boring for children to delve into the details of the relationship between Tatyana and Onegin, or imagine idyllic pictures of Esenin's rural life. Fortunately, there are many children's writers who took care of our little ones. Ageless classics are the books of A. Barto, S. Marshak, K. Chukovsky, S. Mikhalkov and many other poets, memorizing poems which will give the kid pleasure. For older children poems from the classics - A.S. Pushkin, N.A. Nekrasov, A.A. Fet.
"We teach children to love poetry," - you can often hear from kindergarten teachers or teachers in the preparatory courses at school. Do not flatter yourself on this score. More often than not, events organized in pre-school establishments only convince children that there is nothing good in poetry. Firstly, many children hesitate to tell poetry in public, so later negative memories are associated with poetry. Secondly, children do not like very much when they are forced to teach something, this "forcing" rarely leads to a positive perception of poetry. So, dear parents, the responsibility for inculcating your children with love for poetry lies only with you!
\ Try to make the learning interesting for the child and for yourself, and soon you will see results. Your baby will be happy to recite the favorite lines, and you will rejoice at his impressive successes due to the increased vocabulary, improved memory and expanded horizons.
