Russian Language Day, also known as Pushkin Day, is celebrated more often by adults and schoolchildren involved in the subject. This applies to kids less often, and in vain: after all, they have to learn Russian for the longest time. We suggest that you don’t put it on hold and start showing educational cartoons to your little ones - they are most likely already watching TV anyway, and with these fun, easy-to-understand videos they will be able to remember the letters faster and better.
Let us remind you that we have a general selection of educational cartoons for kids, and now here is a review of popular videos on YouTube, where they will try to teach your children to read and write in an advanced modern format.
Educational cartoons: Talking ABC
Let's start with the basics - with the alphabet. Here, plasticine letters turn into animals, make sounds corresponding to the type and transform further according to the alphabet. All the names are pronounced (and more than once), the animals look extremely cute, friendly and in the good traditions of plasticine cartoons. They also have an application for tablets and phones - for those who want to press the buttons themselves.
17 minutes of educational joy for children 3−6 years old.
The authors of this video (channel “Mizyaka-Dizyaka”, name from the creators of “Abuuuv!” and “Azyabatska”) know firsthand about the benefits of associations. Their speaking letters are maximally supported by images and sounds, where near the “D” there is a woodpecker who is pecking and smoke, and “Y” sparkles with New Year’s garlands.
5 minutes of doing their own visual business of letters for the little ones. You will find other educational cartoons of the channel follow the link.

Cartoon Russian alphabet from, A to Z from Auntie Owl
Let's say right away that there are a lot of similar videos - with Fixies, Barboskin , Smeshariki and other cartoon characters to suit the child's taste. And this is not exactly a cartoon - rather a cross between a video tutorial and the fashionable genre of “opening kinder surprises” today. Here, after reading the words, the kids are actually teased with an egg being opened with a toy inside, and they also burst balloons in hopes of children’s delight, recite game lines from the characters, and perform other typical actions designed to get a large number of views from young viewers. And yet they really teach you to read words here - syllable by syllable, slowly, methodically and intelligibly.
32 minutes for children 1−7 years old (why waste time on trifles, really!).

Two funny pencils and their assistant “Lisa the Scissors” in an exciting word reading blockbuster. By letters, syllables, in whole, with pictures, educational facts and a combination of different animation styles. The channel is seriously aimed at teaching children to read, there is even video instructions about how to work with their cartoons. Extremely detailed and clear. Well, there are similar lessons on the channel whole series- just as bright and favorably distinguished by a reduced level of “lisping” with the target audience.
6 minutes for those who want to teach reading to children from 3 years old.
Surely you are familiar with such stylish Soviet cartoons as “Wow, a talking fish!”, “In the blue sea, in white foam” and “Look, Maslenitsa!” Their author is the famous Armenian director Robert Sahakyants, who continues to create animation today. For the little ones. His “Learning to Read” is a large cartoon with a recognizable style, strange animals and a visual educational element. It's definitely worth mentioning as well "ABC for kids". The big-lipped face on the monitor screen may remind you a little of that same talking fish, but that’s even better, isn’t it?
45 minutes (we said that this is a full-fledged cartoon), recommended for viewers from 3 years old.

Learning Russian with Piggy
Combine the legendary “Good night, kids!” with Russian lessons - a simple but effective idea. Khryusha, Filya, Stepashka and the presenter on duty are trying to turn their studies into a fun, exciting game, and for fans of the original series, such training can really become a useful and organically perceived help.
10 minutes for those running to the screen to the sounds of “Tired toys are sleeping” of any age. You will find more training videos with Piggy follow the link.
FRIENDS
Ni-ki-ta and Le-sha are friends. They go to kindergarten together. Le-shi has a sa-mo-kat. And Nik-ki-you has a gun. Not real, but toy. These boys are great guys. O-ni always do-la-tsya ig-rush-ka-mi. And they never quarrel. The two of them play and laugh. It's good to be friends!
ZO-LO-TOE EGG-KO
Once upon a time there lived a grandfather and a ba-ba, and they had a little chicken. The hen laid an egg: the egg is not simple - it is golden.
Grandfather beat - beat - repeatedly beat.
Ba-ba bi-la, bi-la - not once-bi-la.
The mouse ran, the tail waved, the egg fell and broke.
Grandfather and ba-ba are crying, ku-roch-ka ku-dah-chet:
“Don't cry, grandpa, don't cry, ba-ba!
I'll lay you another egg,
It’s not golden, it’s simple!”
MU-RA-WAY AND GO-LUB-KA
Mu-ra-vey went down to the stream: he wanted to drink. The wave lashed him and almost knocked him down. Go-lub-ka carried a branch; o-na u-vi-de-la - mu-ra-vey to-no, and bro-si-la to his branch in the river. Mu-ra-vei sat on a branch and saved himself.
Then the oh-hot-nick laid a net on the dove and wanted to slam it. Mu-ra-vey crawled up to o-hot-ni-ku and u-ku-grabbed him by the leg; oh-hot-nick oh-nul and u-ro-nil the network. Go-lub-ka fluttered-well-la and u-le-te-la.
Peti and Misha had a horse. They began to argue: whose horse is it? Did they start tearing each other's horses?
Give it to me, this is my horse.
No, give it to me, the horse is not yours, but mine.
The mother came, took the horse, and the horse became no one’s.
L. Tolstoy
Three honeys.
One day Ma-sha went into the forest and got lost. I started looking for my way and came to the forest from the bush. In this house lived seven honey-ve-days: my father’s name was Mi-hai-lo Po-ta-pych, my mother’s name was Nas-tas-ya Pet-rov-na , and their ma-lazy son-nish-ku is honey-ve-jo-nok Mi-joke. The house was empty - honey had gone for a walk in the forest.
Ma-sha entered the house and had three bowls of porridge. Bol-sha-I would-la Mi-hai-lo Po-ta-py-cha, middle-ya Nas-tas-and Pet-rov-ny, and s-ma-ya ma-lazy-ka-ya - Mi-jokes. Po-bo-va-la Ma-sha ka-shu from a large bowl, then from a middle one, and from a small one, Mi-shut-ki-noy, all the way- shu ate.
Ma-sha came over and saw three chairs near the table. He climbed onto the big chair and o-pa-la; sat down on the middle chair - it was not comfortable; she sat down on a small chair and laughed. Ma-sha started skating on Mi-shut-ki-chair, ka-cha-ka-ka-ka-ka-la, until she broke it!
Send Ma-sha to another mountain. There are a hundred or three beds there. She lay down in the big room - it was too spacious; lay down in the middle - it was too high; and the lazy-me fit her just right. Ma-sha lay down and went to sleep.
Come back to my honey from the forest, sit down. Mi-hai-lo Po-ta-pych looked into his bowl and growled: “Who ate from my bowl?” Nas-tas-ya Petrov-na looked at the table and said: “Who ate from my bowl?” And Mi-shut-ka squeaked: “Who ate my porridge and broke my chair?”
Send honey to another mountain. “Who lived on my bed?” - Mi-hai-lo Po-ta-pych roared. “Who lay down on my bed and crushed it?” - for-re-ve-la Nas-tas-ya Pet-rov-na. And Mi-shut-ka saw a little girl in his bed and squealed: “Here you go!” Hold her!
U-see-dev-med-ve-day, Ma-sha is very f------------------------- Oh, you jumped into the open window and ran home. And honey didn’t catch her.
Your baby has learned letters and is actively adding syllables and small words. It's time to move on to more complex but interesting tasks - reading texts. But here parents and teachers expect some difficulties. It is impossible to offer a preschooler text cards without taking into account the characteristics of age and the degree of development of syllable reading skills. We will tell you in our article how to choose texts for reading for preschoolers, where to find and how to correctly print texts for reading by syllables for younger and older preschoolers.
Age characteristics of preschoolers
After 5 years of age, kindergarteners are very active, mobile, and inquisitive. They grow up rapidly, get smarter, develop physically and mentally.
When preparing for school, parents and teachers should pay attention to the following age characteristics of children 4-7 years old:
- The basic needs of kindergarteners are communication and games. Children ask many questions to adults, themselves, and peers. They learn by playing.
- The leading mental function is imagination, fantasy. This helps to show creativity.
- Emotions, impressions, positive experiences are important for further development and the desire to continue activities. A 5-7 year old kindergartener needs praise, support, and no comparison with other children.
- Cognitive processes are actively developing: attention, memory. At the age of 5-7, preschoolers can remember and analyze a large amount of information. But it needs to be given in doses, trying not to overload the child’s brain in one lesson.
- Speech becomes more developed. At 5 years old, the child speaks in complex sentences, can choose several synonyms for one word, knows many poems, riddles, and several fairy tales by heart.
- A kindergartener wants to experience new things and learn. The baby is spurred on by curiosity; he is interested in everything new and unknown.
Consider the age and individual characteristics of preschoolers when choosing texts to read. In this case, training sessions will be more effective.
How to work with texts
Reading poems and short stories for a preschooler is a new type of work. The difficulty in completing the reading task is that the kindergartener does not always understand the meaning of the passage. To avoid this, you need to approach the choice of material and methods of its processing correctly. Organize your learning process as follows:
- Select handouts based on the student's age. For children 4-5 years old, cards of 1-3 sentences, for older preschoolers - 4-5 sentences.
- Pay attention to the number of words in the sentences. There should be few of them. Simple reading texts for preschoolers are easier to digest, but you cannot stay at the easy level for long.
- Proceed to working with text cards after automating syllabic reading.
- Read in sequence in a group or with adults when working individually.
- Don't rush your child. At the learning stage, reading comprehension is important, not reading speed and the amount of time spent.
Texts for children 4-5 years old
Young preschoolers need special sentence cards. Reading by syllables for children under 5 years of age is best accompanied by text with pictures. For example, coloring pages with comments. Coloring will be an additional task.
If we are reading syllables for the first time, the reading texts should consist of 1-2 sentences. Use small words, 1-2 syllables. You can prepare the cards yourself, find them online and print them.
For young students, it is important that there is a hyphen or other separator between syllables. Choose a large, bold font for printing material for reading by syllables at 4 years old.
- Learning to read syllables through working with text does not have to begin after learning the entire alphabet. Find reading books for children aged 5 and up and print out individual sentences of words that consist of the letters you have learned. There are many of them in Zhukova's alphabet.
- At the age of 4 to 5 years, there is no need to offer children the entire fairy tale or book. Large volumes frighten children and distract them with colorful drawings on other pages. Print only the part you need.
- Play with a passage, a poem. You can read a word separately, then a phrase, then a whole syntactic unit.
- Work according to the following algorithm. First we read, then we discuss, draw, and fantasize.
Quests
After reading the texts, be sure to study the material further. This is necessary for a strong assimilation of information and the formation of meaningful reading skills. Offer preschoolers the following types of tasks for the passage:
- A short retelling.
The kindergartener must tell what he learned, what information was main in the text. It is advisable to use the words you read, name the names of the characters, and their actions. - Answer the questions.
The speech therapist and parent ask 1-3 simple questions about the material read.
If the child does not answer them, you need to read the passage together, with comments from an adult. - Draw a picture.
Let's play illustrators. Children come up with a plot picture based on the information received from a passage or poem. This could be homework. - What happened next?
Invite them to fantasize and come up with what could happen to the characters next.
Reading texts with pictures and tasks:
Texts for children 6-7 years old
If you are preparing reading texts for children 6-7 years old, then you can print out entire paragraphs. For work, choose excerpts from fairy tales and short stories. Large works can be worked on in 2-3 lessons. Don't forget about short stories from the alphabet or primer.
- Work through the sentences in a chain, try to involve each student.
- After reading a short passage for the first time, discuss the content. If you find any misunderstandings, read the passage again.
- If we read syllables individually, different texts for reading to children 7 years old should be printed on separate sheets.
Texts with tails:
Full description
The game develops mainly skill of reading fusion syllables. It is advisable that reading syllables be preceded by training in two syllable tables:
1. Reverse two-letter syllables, for example, AZ, OV, IH, etc.
2. Syllable mergers such as BA, NO, TU, etc.
Adults need to understand that tables in rows can be much more difficult to read than in columns, that is, BA-BO-BU-BA, etc. harder to read than BA-WA-GA-DA, etc. If this is also difficult for the child to learn, then the young student needs to be given tasks of the following type: “find the syllable MA in this column, then the syllable RA, ...” After the child begins to correctly find the syllables, you need to repeat reading the columns in random order, then Gradually you can move on to words from our educational game.
The adult reads the word from the left column, and the child must try to read the rhyming word from the right column.
You can turn the training into a game: for this, an adult places 14 chips (or chestnuts, or something else) on the table. If the child reads the word correctly and quickly enough, he takes one chip for himself. If the child makes a mistake or asks for help, then the adult prompts him and takes one chip for himself. The one with the most chips wins. It is not necessary to reward a child financially for winning; it is enough that the adult expresses his joy at the child’s correct independent answers.
The game is aimed at children who are learning to read. The simulator is offered in two forms:
A) Form A is designed for children who practically cannot read, although they know the letters.
B) Form B is designed for children who can read four-letter words on their own (even if slowly and with errors). In this form, the words in the right column are rearranged so that the child must look for the word that rhymes.
For each form, 15 exercises (tasks) are proposed, and it is not recommended to give more than two tasks (exercises) per lesson.
Form B includes 2 columns of 7 words, for each word from the left column the child must choose a rhyming word from the right column. The material should be used both for reading training and quickly finding a rhyming word, and for playing. An adult needs to print out the exercise in a suitable font and large letters.
The following option for using form B is possible:
The child is given colored pencils and allowed to first independently read and connect rhyming words with colored lines, and only after that read the words to an adult.
This article provides tables of form A, tables of form B will be given in subsequent articles.

Trainer for beginners. Simple words.
The book is wonderful. But kids don’t want to strain themselves and put the letters into words; it’s much easier to look at the picture and guess from the very first letter what is written under the picture.
Therefore, I suggest downloading these sheets. They have a lot of words and no explanatory pictures. Nothing will distract your child from the reading process. And since each word has only three letters, reading them will not be very difficult.
How many of them are words consisting of three letters? There are more than a hundred such words on these leaves. So the child will have something to read.
New cards for practicing reading skills. This time the selection contains words of 4 letters, but with one syllable.
That is, words have only one vowel letter.
DAY, LOAD, DEADLINE, OVEN, SEVEN, NIGHT and so on.
More than 100 words consisting of 4 letters and 1 syllable are collected on two sheets.
When reading, a child must not only form a word from letters, but also comprehend what he read. Ask your child to explain each new word.
We continue to practice our reading skills.
The next selection is already two-syllable words of 4 letters. On the first card are words with the so-called “open syllable”. They are easy to read. Ma-ma, ka-sha, ne-bo, re-ka, lu-zha and similar words.
The second card is more difficult. The words on it contain both open and closed syllables. Ma-yak, ig-la, u-tyug, yah-ta, o-sel, yol-ka and so on.
Each card has over fifty words. So the child will have to work hard until he reads all the words.
We read new words syllable by syllable. Words already consist of 5 letters. Va-gon, baby, tu-man, mar-ka, re-dis, lamp-pa. And so on. If your child confidently reads these hundred and fifty words, you can assume that your baby has LEARNED how to read! Or rather, he learned to put words together from letters.
