ІННОВАЦІЙНА ПЕДАГОГІЧНА ТЕХНОЛОГІЯ ФОРМУВАННЯ ПРАВОПИСНИХ НАВИЧОК У ПЕРШОКЛАСНИКІВ

The article describes an innovative pedagogical technology, the specificity of which is that the orthography skills are formed without learning spelling and punctuation rules by heart. The acquaintance of children with the “secrets” of the reproduction of oral speech in writing, the disclosure of the linguistic nature of spelling phenomena, taking into account the graphics of the Ukrainian language, necessitated the introduction of a generalized concept of orthograms at the stage of literacy teaching, as well as separate rules for the use of punctuation marks. The concept of orthography is introduced on the example of copying words that mean proper names. While explaining the orthogram, teachers are guided by the definition: an orthogram is a letter, a sign in a word, or a gap between words that have to be explained. At the beginning of the pre-ABC book period, it is expedient to use propaedeutic exercises throughout the whole period of literacy teaching. The second group of exercises consists of the ones designed to perform a support role, but which are directly related to the development of literacy skills. A fundamentally new methodical technique in achieving the positive results of introducing meaningful writing by the pattern is the use of a computer program. It provides an opportunity to implement an individual approach, to guarantee high enough cognitive activity of pupils and optimally use the training time. Requirements of the existing ABC books are taken into account in the process of selecting the didactic material for the computer program. The program includes tasks, designed according to the order of the letters studying. Letters, syllables, words, and sentences are used as didactic material. Consequently, the high efficiency of the developed and tested technology gives grounds to encourage primary school teachers to use this method in the process of first-graders’ literacy skills formation.
