“Literogram”, a program developed by candidate of psychological sciences S. Yu. Shishkova, the methodology is built on the principles of defectology, speech therapy...
All children are different, some are successful in learning and grasp everything on the fly, others have difficulties and lag behind their peers. This depends on many factors: congenital brain dysfunctions, the consequences of difficult childbirth, and banal attention deficit. Such children need a special approach and the mandatory use of developmental techniques, of which there are a great many today.
Purchase the method
One of them is “Literogram”. Developed by candidate of psychological sciences S. Yu. Shishkova, the methodology is built on the principles of defectology, speech therapy and neuropsychology, and has absorbed the best ideas of modern child psychology.
“Bukvogramma” was created for hyperactive and restless children who are unable to concentrate and understand the material. In addition, it is perfect for the development of ordinary children, it will help improve their cognitive processes and reveal new abilities.
The technique was tested on children of different ages: from preschool to adolescence. It turned out that even 14-year-old children can use it to learn to speak, write and read better.
Comprehensive development and physical activity
The main purpose of using the “Bukvogramma” is the correction of oral and written speech, as well as the activation of such important mental processes as memory, attention, and spatial thinking.
This is achieved through the selection of exciting and varied materials for classes where mental stress alternates with physical and breathing training.
The latter have a huge impact on the executive functions of children. Due to the flow of oxygen, children's brain activity improves.
Shishkova included in her methodology exercises aimed at developing fine motor skills, the influence of which on speech development has long been proven by progressive teachers.
Oculomotor gymnastics and physical exercises “Letterograms” help to avoid fatigue and, as a result, increase the performance of children. And the constantly changing nature of the tasks will captivate even restless kids.
The importance of self-control
Effective learning at school is impossible without the skill of self-control. It is necessary to pay attention to its formation even in preschool age.
Fear of making mistakes inhibits children's desire to work independently. If a violent negative reaction from parents is added, the child develops self-doubt. How often do such children, starting to do their homework and making a mistake, cross out everything, tear out a sheet of paper, or even quit work altogether.
According to the “Literogram” lesson system, the baby learns this self-control. The developmental system of exercises allows the child to compare his work with a model. She directs the preschooler to find mistakes, correct them independently and draw appropriate conclusions.
What is the technique
The program includes 20 play-based activities and exercises that must be done regularly with the child. To help parents, a teaching guide has been developed with detailed recommendations for conducting lessons and tips on raising and correcting the child’s behavior.
Depending on the age of the child, and it is designed for children from 5 to 14 years old, it takes 1-5 days to master one lesson. And it can last from 5 to 30 minutes. Here you need to look at the child’s abilities and not let him get tired. If the material is difficult to fix, you need to take a break for 3-4 hours and repeat it again.
To use the “Bukvogramma” you do not need any special equipment or special teaching aids; paper and writing instruments are sufficient.
In general, these are the simplest activities that can be carried out by all family members who can read the recommendations. The main requirement for carrying them out is 100% assimilation and only then moving on to a new exercise. Only this approach can give effective results.
The Internet is replete with negative reviews about this method, most often these are those parents who did not follow the systematicity, sequence of work and other recommendations of the author set out in the book.
Will there be results?
- it will be easier for the child to concentrate attention even in difficult working conditions;
- writing literacy and the ability to read quickly will increase;
- learning school subjects will become easier and more effective;
- the ability to master not only the native language, but also foreign languages will be demonstrated;
- the attitude towards parents and other children will be adjusted;
- the child will believe in himself, become organized and sociable.
All this is possible only if you strictly follow the methodological instructions. Only those parents who were patient and did not give up developmental lessons halfway give positive feedback about the method and boast about the success of their children.

Preface
Many children have difficulty with written and spoken language. Many people don't want to read. This is a real problem of our time, almost all parents of schoolchildren know about it.
The current system of teaching writing and reading, based on coercion and pressure on the child, brings its sad results. There are more and more people who do not want to read and who cannot write.
At one time, I, like many parents, tried to solve the problems of writing and reading in my children. I have two sons, they are already adults, grown up. They study at a university, work, express themselves in creativity, in a word, successful young people.
But things didn’t start out easy... The guys didn’t start talking as early as we would like. We went to a speech therapy group in kindergarten and worked with a speech therapist. By first grade, the speech impediments had disappeared, and the children began to speak clearly. But in the middle of the first grade, the first difficulties associated with written speech began. Then grades in reading and writing began to decline, comments appeared in the diary, and the boys’ desire to go to school decreased.
Together with the teacher we thought: what to do? How to cope with a reluctance to read, the slow speed of writing dictations and classwork, constant substitutions or omissions of letters, unfinished words, and terrible handwriting? The teacher explained this by inattention, inability to concentrate, and laziness. To the question: “How to solve these problems?” – she gave me the following recommendations: work on mistakes, write down incorrectly written words in an entire line, rewrite the work completely, learn the rules and read, read, read... We did all this diligently, but the situation only got worse.
Then I thought: why is this happening? I took a serious look at my sons' preschool and elementary school experiences.
Gradually, step by step, a program of action began to be built aimed at teaching children correct written and oral speech. This is how the “Lettergram – go to school with joy” method appeared.
Since 1995, teachers, educators, and psychologists in Moscow began to use this technique to correct speech in children. This technique was tested experimentally, which was the reason for the publication of this book.
Primary school teachers, as well as interested parents, successfully use this practical material to achieve a high level of written and oral language in their children and students. The book is a key part of the “Lettergram from 0 to 3 years” and “Lettergram from 3 to 6 years” methods.
I express my sincere gratitude to the reviewers of the manuscript: Doctor of Psychological Sciences, Professor Sorokoumova E. A., Candidate of Psychological Sciences Voronova A. A., Candidate of Pedagogical Sciences, Associate Professor Chernikova N. V. Many thanks to my family: my mother, a teacher with 40 years of experience Zolotopupova V.G., dad Zolotopupov Yu.P., primary school methodologist Ponomareva M.Yu., my husband and excellent father Shishkov A.A. for valuable advice and support and, of course, my sons Artem and Pavel, without whom This program would not have worked.
Part 1. Principles for constructing the “Lettergram – go to school with joy” program
1. How do you know if the program is suitable for your child?
Bukvogramma" is a method for the development and correction of both written and oral speech in children from 5 to 14 years old. The technique is based on the developments of psychologists, speech therapists, defectologists and neuropsychologists. It is based on both traditional teaching methods and the latest ideas and techniques for teaching children. The technique was tested in groups of preschool and school-age children. At the same time, all trained children learned to read and write words, phrases and sentences.
Almost all tasks of the methodology are built in the form of a game or taking into account game moments. The technique is fully adapted for use by non-specialists and is designed for individual teaching of children or training in small groups (no more than three people). The book presents a consistent system of lessons with exercises, which in a simple and accessible form allows you to correctly form written language in children. The results of the author's research on the problem of speech impairment in modern children are presented simply and clearly, so that every parent can help their child in a timely manner. Teachers, using interesting exercises from this book, will receive useful material on eliminating dysgraphia and dyslexia in their students, and will also understand the reason for modern children’s dislike of reading.
The purely practical orientation of the book allows it to be used in lessons in elementary school, for independent work by a child, and for parent-child activities. All exercises are of a developmental nature, which, of course, makes this material a source of creative inspiration for the child, parents and teacher.
If the “Bukvogramma” is used in lessons, each student must have his own manual and, of course, the teacher needs his own copy.
If you know that a child has problems with reading and writing, use the “Lettergram - go to school with joy” method to correct difficulties. This methodological system can also be used when studying any foreign language. By studying the “Literogram”, your children and students will love reading books and will not only be academically successful, but also successful.
The “Literogram” technique is aimed at:
Formation of written and oral speech of children;
Literacy correction;
Development of phonemic hearing;
Development of orientation in space;
Prevention of dysgraphia.
During the classes, techniques and exercises are used aimed at activating the brain, interhemispheric interaction, sensorimotor correction, which will help the child cope with such problems. problems, How:
Replacing letters when reading and writing;
Skipping letters;
Rearranging letters;
Merging several words into one;
Difficulties in mastering a foreign language;
Mirror writing of letters and numbers;
Incorrect determination of directions
"right" and "left".
The program also aims to:
Increased performance;
Improving cerebral circulation;
Development of motor, spatial spheres;
Formation of an adequate body diagram and image of the physical self;
Development of fine motor skills;
Improving self-regulation and voluntary control;
Improving the functioning of brain structures;
Mastering the school curriculum (writing, reading, mathematics);
Building spatial representations (“left” - “right”, “above” - “under”, “behind” - “in front”).
What parents should pay special attention to:
If the child is left-handed;
If he is a retrained right-hander;
If the child was in a speech therapy group;
If the family speaks two or more languages;
If the child goes to school too early;
If the child has problems with memory, attention;
If you notice the above problems in your child or student, if you are looking for ways to solve them and strive for the harmonious development of the child, then this technique is not only suitable, but also simply necessary for you to practice with your child.
2. Children with special needs
Mental retardation – mental retardation.
Symptoms:
Indecisiveness, aggressiveness, anxiety;
During infancy, children begin to hold their heads later and take their first steps;
Lagging skills and abilities from peers;
The child cannot perform the simplest actions characteristic of his age (putting on shoes, dressing, personal hygiene skills, eating independently);
The child is not capable of joint activities, including group games;
Distracted attention, difficulty concentrating;
The emotional sphere is extremely vulnerable, the child becomes offended and withdraws into himself.
The diagnosis of “mental retardation” is made starting at the age of three. When a child reaches primary school age, such a diagnosis is either removed (which happens more often) or revised. If, before the end of primary school, no changes are observed with constant correctional work, then the question of his possible mental retardation is raised.
What specialists are required for this diagnosis:
Neurologist;
Psychologist/neuropsychologist;
Speech pathologist/speech therapist;
Pediatrician;
Children's massage therapist.
When using this technique, be sure to use an integrated approach - this is described in detail in the book “Literogram from 3 to 6 years”.
Abroad, instead of the term “mental retardation,” the term “children with learning disabilities” is used.
OSD – general speech underdevelopment.
Symptoms:
Speech is formed later than in healthy children. Normally, a child begins to speak his first words before he is one year old, and with OHP - at 3–4, and sometimes at 5 years;
The child may understand the speech of others well, but is unable to express his own thoughts;
The presence of grammatical and phonetic errors in speech.
OHP is usually diagnosed at the age of 3 years, when a healthy child should already be actively using speech. With timely treatment and speech therapy assistance, the diagnosis of OSD is removed, and the child enters school without serious speech problems.
What specialists are required for this diagnosis:
Speech therapist/speech pathologist;
Neurologist;
Neuropsychologist/psychologist.
When using the technique, be sure to use an integrated approach. Speech therapy massage and gymnastics, proposed in the book “Literogram from 3 to 6 years”, are also necessary.
Abroad, the term “general speech underdevelopment” sounds like “children speech disorders.”
MMD – minimal brain dysfunction.
Symptoms:
Mild motor dysfunction, awkwardness;
Excessive and uncontrollable mobility (cannot sit still);
Deficit of voluntary attention;
Impulsivity (inability to stop your urges);
Irritability;
Rapid change of mood;
Learning disability.
A child is usually diagnosed with MMD in elementary school or at the age of 5–7 years. It is possible to remove the diagnosis.
Speech therapist/speech pathologist;
Neurologist;
Psychologist/neuropsychologist.
When using the technique, be sure to use an integrated approach.
General and speech therapy massages are also effective, which is described in detail in the books “Literogram for 0 to 3 years” and “Literogram for 3 to 6 years.”
In 1980, the American Psychiatric Association developed a working classification, according to which cases previously described as minimal brain dysfunction were proposed to be considered as attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity disorder.
ADHD – attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Symptoms:
Decreased attention: children have difficulty mastering the school curriculum and often lose their things;
When talking with them, they are easily distracted by extraneous things; sometimes it seems that they are not listening to the interlocutor;
Fussiness;
Forgetfulness;
Restlessness, often to the point of being impossible to attend school lessons;
Excessive mobility: restless movements in the hands and legs;
Talkativeness;
Impulsivity: the child answers questions without waiting for them to finish, cannot wait for his turn in various situations;
Irritability, tearfulness.
Most experts agree that two periods can be distinguished when the signs of this disease most clearly manifest themselves: this is the age from 5 (the senior group of kindergarten) to approximately 12 years and the second period - starting from puberty, that is, approximately 14 years. It is possible to remove the diagnosis.
Consultations with which specialists are necessary for this diagnosis:
Pediatric neurologist;
Psychiatrist;
Pediatrician;
Teacher;
Psychologist/neuropsychologist.
Use the “Letterogram” method consistently; for greater efficiency, all classes should be divided into small parts.
The Russian-language name ADHD is an adapted version of the English-language term “attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder”.
SRD – delayed speech development.
Symptoms:
The child begins to hold his head up, sit and walk late;
The child is silent and does not utter even the most basic sounds;
The child attracts attention by crying, there is no reaction to requests;

At 2–3 years of age, the child does not pronounce whole phrases and simple sentences;
At the age of 4 years, the child does not pronounce complex and complete sentences.
The diagnosis of RRD is given to children under 3 years of age who have not developed a minimum vocabulary of words by this age. It is possible to remove the diagnosis.
Consultations with which specialists are necessary for this diagnosis:
Child psychologist or psychoanalyst;
Neurologist;
Speech therapist/speech pathologist.
Use the speech therapy techniques that are given in the books “Lettergram from 0 to 3 years” and “Lettergram from 3 to 6 years”.
Dyslexia is a reading disorder.
Symptoms:
The child misses individual words, sentences, and entire paragraphs when reading;
Constantly rubs eyes;
Complains of a headache after reading;
Brings the book very close to his eyes;
Slightly closes or completely closes one eye while reading;
Gets tired quickly;
Avoids reading;
Experiences difficulties with understanding the text, absent-minded, inattentive, unable to retell what he read or say what the text was about.
Dyslexia is usually diagnosed between 6 and 7 years of age. It is possible to remove the diagnosis.
Consultations with which specialists are necessary for this diagnosis:
Speech therapist/speech pathologist;
Psychologist/neuropsychologist.
In Anglo-American clinical psychology there is also a diagnosis of “dyslexia”, but it refers not only to a reading disorder, but also to a writing disorder.
Dysarthria is a pronunciation disorder.
Symptoms:
The transmission of electrical impulses from the cerebral cortex to the nuclei of the cranial nerves is disrupted. Disorders associated with certain muscle groups innervated by cranial nerves appear;
Infants have difficulty feeding, as the muscles of the lips and tongue are in a state of paresis. Such children are more likely than others to choke, tend to burp, and suck the breast sluggishly;
When a child reaches the first stage of speech development, parents or a doctor, during a survey, reveal the absence of babbling words in the child, the nasality of some sounds;
The child begins to pronounce his first words late (at 2–2.5 years);
The mobility of facial and speech muscles is limited. The speech of such children is slurred, sounds are unclear, the voice can be quiet or, on the contrary, very loud and harsh. Characterized by a loss of fluency of speech and a change in its tempo (slow or accelerated).
The diagnosis is made closer to 5 years of age, because until the age of 5, speech actively develops. The diagnosis can be removed.
Consultations with which specialists are necessary for this diagnosis:
Neuropathologist;
Speech therapist;
Psychotherapist/psychologist.
When using the technique, special attention must be paid to breathing exercises.

The emotional sphere requires special attention in children with this diagnosis.
Cerebral palsy – cerebral palsy.
Symptoms:
Manifestations of the disease in different patients are individual, while certain signs may predominate or be completely absent;
Muscle tone disorders: increased tone in the legs, arms or throughout the body. This often leads to the formation of uncomfortable postures that a person cannot control;
Slow involuntary movements of the limbs (usually the hands);
Weakness in the arms and/or legs up to paralysis;
Convulsive seizures are attacks of involuntary contractions of the muscles of the limbs, sometimes with loss of consciousness and involuntary urination;

3. About the causes of problems...
When parents come to an appointment with a 5-6 year old child, they are often surprised why they are asked about how the pregnancy progressed, since so much time has passed. But it is precisely how the pregnancy proceeded, how the birth took place, how the baby developed in the first year of life that affects his further physical, mental, speech and intellectual development. Let's stop at this important stage.
A child developing in the womb is endowed with its own consciousness; it is able to feel and respond to external influences with certain reactions. The baby not only hears sounds, but also remembers those that are repeated repeatedly. A newborn, who is barely 3-4 hours old, calms down as soon as he hears his mother's voice. Newborns are soothed by the familiar beating of their mother's heart.
In the second trimester, the emotional connection between mother and child is established and strengthened. Every emotion experienced by the mother is transmitted to the fetus through the corresponding hormone, and the baby, through his behavior, tells her about his joy or his dissatisfaction. During pregnancy, it is very important to maintain a good mood, a joyful attitude, to be at peace with yourself and in harmony with the world around you. First of all, every mother must convince herself that the most important task for her is to bear and give birth to a healthy child. And all life’s troubles are not worth sacrificing the baby’s health.
Make it a rule to have daily conversations with your baby. Talk about your well-being and mood, about the weather outside and plans for the weekend, about shopping and visits to your parents. In the evenings, include dad returning from work in the conversations. Let him also tell you both what interesting things happened to him that day. It doesn’t matter what these conversations are about, the main thing is to make your child feel like an important member of your little family. This will further have a beneficial effect on the development of your baby’s nervous system and speech.
The best music for a baby is the mother's singing. Mom's singing has a beneficial effect on the development of the upper limbs and small movements of the hand. If dad sings, the development of the lower extremities accelerates and in the future the child begins to walk early.
Communication between parents and their child during the period of intrauterine development forms in him a sense of security and confidence in the benevolent attitude of the world around him.
This amazing period from the moment of fertilization to the birth of a newborn is called childhood before birth. There is no more complex, extraordinary, but also responsible stage in a person’s life.

The unique developmental methodology “Literogram” helps children become more literate, attentive, and sociable. I heard about this from many parents and therefore purchased the program for my child. I was pleased with the results, since I was able to teach my son writing and counting in a playful way, as well as prepare him for difficult school workloads thanks to this system, which I found here.
Author of the program
Now on the Internet and bookstores you can find many educational methods for the comprehensive development of children, developed by teachers, kindergarten teachers, psychologists and even people without pedagogical education. For me, the professionalism of the authors of the methods was very important, and Svetlana Yulianovna Shishkova, the creator of the “Literogram,” met my requirements.
Having studied information about the developer of the methodology, I learned that Shishkova is not a theorist in pedagogy and psychology, but a successful practitioner. She works as an independent expert at the Moscow Center for Educational Law in the field of speech therapy and defectology, as well as a practicing child psychologist, and is a co-author of several successful literary projects. This is what parents of young patients say about her.
“After individual consultations, my daughter became more diligent and attentive. There was an interest in acquiring knowledge, a desire not only to run outside, but also to play board and educational games. Svetlana Yulianovna told me how to do homework without crying and hysterics.”
"Bukvogramma" was developed for parents who want to help their child achieve good academic results. But kindergarten teachers can also use it, adding their own ideas to the lessons.
Who is the technique suitable for?
At first glance, it seemed to me that the program was designed for hyperactive children or for children with serious speech impairments. But upon careful study, I realized that the technique will help any child to reveal their inner potential, learn to speak, write and read correctly. In addition, the entire learning process is controlled by parents, who themselves decide what to pay more attention to and what can be skipped. Therefore, “Bukvogramma” is completely unsuitable for busy, impatient mothers, who often leave the following reviews:
“I purchased the “Literogram” for my son and was deeply disappointed. Lots of unnecessary information and boring explanations. You need to delve into all the details and monitor the results, and this takes a lot of time. You can just as easily search the Internet for free educational games for children of the right age.”
My son is five years old, so the first part of the program called “3+” is suitable for him. It is designed specifically for little fidgets who do not like to sit in one place for a long time and listen to something other than fairy tales.
After a series of interesting activities in a playful way, my son realized that learning new letters and numbers is also interesting, and different colors and shapes surround us everywhere: at home, on the street, in the kindergarten, in the store. Special attention is paid to children who take a long time to start speaking or speak quickly and incomprehensibly.
The second part of the program is called “Literopoly”. It is designed for children 7-12 years old and helps students learn new knowledge more easily and communicate more freely with peers. At the same time, “Bukvogram” does not duplicate the school curriculum, but develops the skills of concentration, attention, and memorizing information. The technique is made in the form of a didactic game that can be played both together and in a group.
“When I found out that my granddaughter would spend the holidays with me, I began to think about what we would do on the long winter evenings. At the bookstore, they recommended the “Literopoly” program from the “Literogram” series and explained in detail how to work with the disk and what needed to be printed. As a result, my granddaughter and I not only strengthened our attentiveness and memory, but also got to know each other better and became true friends.”
Teenagers over 14 years old will find the third part of the program called “Theater” interesting and educational. Its goal is to support and strengthen motivation for learning, teach organization and social tact, and also find a common language with people of different ages.
At the same time, all the features of the difficult puberty period are taken into account, that is: hot temper, touchiness, self-doubt.
What is a "Literogram"
I really liked that each Lettergrams lesson combines mental puzzles, outdoor games, exercises for developing fine motor skills and breathing exercises. Thus, the child uses both hemispheres of the brain, thanks to which knowledge is better absorbed and remembered. Alternating between different types of activities helps the baby not to lose interest in new material, and also prevents feelings of fatigue and boredom.
“When I downloaded “Bukvogramma”, I was worried that the child would not want to study on weekends. But he perceives such exercises as a game, so he never refuses such communication. I’m very glad that I was able to tear him away from the computer and TV.”
There is no need to purchase special materials and equipment for classes. There are enough of those that are available in every home where a child lives: felt-tip pens, pencils, plasticine, mosaics. Before starting the lesson, I read Shishkova’s tips and recommendations, and also never started learning new material until the old one was well established. Within a month, I noticed that my son became more diligent, attentive and inquisitive.
The longer my son and I practice this method, the less time it takes me to prepare for the game lessons. However, you can't skip it completely. First, be sure to print out the lesson and study the material yourself, so that when communicating with your child there are no electronic devices on the table, and you yourself are not distracted and do not make your child bored.
Provide your child with a place to study. During creativity, cover the table with oilcloth and do not limit his imagination. On your walks, collect natural materials: chestnuts, cones, acorns, autumn leaves, so that your child can then add them to his plasticine craft or to an applique made of colored paper.
Here's what teachers say about the program:
“Children who study with their parents using original programs, for example, “Bukvogram”, learn school material better. They know how to listen to the teacher, concentrate on their studies, and can more easily tolerate sitting in one place for forty-five minutes. And it’s easier for moms and dads to control homework.”
