Небумага. Учимся читать! 2.2

Nebumaга is an educational gaming application designed to teach children how to read comprehensively. The application comprises three levels that support children at various stages: familiarization with sounds and letters; reading syllables and whole words; and comprehension of sentences.

• The application features 1,300 tasks of varying types and levels of difficulty. These tasks have been developed by candidates in philological sciences and vetted by linguists, child psychologists, and primary school educators.
• Illustrations are crafted in a gentle style against a calm beige background, reminiscent of cardboard crafts, ensuring that the visual experience is not overwhelming for children. The illustrations are created by Tatyana Chulyuskina, the art director of the magazine Seasons of Life.
• The serene musical arrangement is composed by film composers, complemented by the soothing voice of Anna Geller, a theater actress known for voicing popular children's animated series.
• The application has been successfully tested on children with varying levels of preparedness, aged 4 to 7 years, receiving high praise from parents.
• Imagine a friendly alien named Mo who resides on the mysterious planet Tuf. Mo wishes to travel to Earth to make new friends among children, but he faces one challenge: he does not speak Russian. This is where the child steps in as Mo's assistant, sending knowledge aboard colorful rockets as they complete engaging tasks.

LEVEL ONE: INTRODUCTION TO SOUNDS AND LETTERS

The first two “rockets” (200 tasks) focus on the study of sounds and the phonetic structure of words, enhancing auditory skills. Children learn to distinguish between hard and soft consonant sounds early on, laying the foundation for future reading and writing abilities. Within this module, we introduce stress patterns and visualize words through sound schemes—charming houses with red, green, and blue rooms.

The subsequent 400 tasks are dedicated to learning letters and reading syllables. Each letter is accompanied by ten diverse tasks: children memorize the letter's image, hear the sound it represents in writing, and comprehend how letters "interact" to form syllables. Basic reading of simple words is incorporated from the outset.

LEVEL TWO: READING WORDS

The second level refines and enhances reading skills through five blocks:

1. Basic words and concepts.
2. Thematic vocabulary: animals, plants, hobbies, urban life, aquatic environments, and more.
3. Word types: nouns, adjectives, numerals, among others.
4. Captivating stories about various children.
5. Important themes: safety, etiquette, friendship, and more.

LEVEL THREE: READING SENTENCES

In the third level, Mo arrives on Earth and explores human life—attending school, visiting the zoo and cafes with new friends while marveling at animals and local nature's laws. Each exercise presents a humorous scenario from Mo's life. The child must read the sentence and understand it to answer the question presented in the task.
