We are talking about the arena for 36,000 spectators, which should appear in the harbor area of ​​Portsmouth. It will occupy, together with a residential area for 750 apartments, 5.2 hectares of territory “reclaimed” from the sea.
In addition, the Coastal Quarter ensemble will also include 0.4 hectares of a public recreation area.
This £600m project involving one of the world’s leading architectural firms is not the only one the club has to its credit. Portsmouth, owned by Russian-born businessman Alexander Gaydamak, plans to replace the old stadium in 2011 in Fratton Park (not far from the new arena) with a residential complex designed by Ken Shuttleworth’s Make.

Portsmouth Cultural Heritage Tour | What to visit in Portsmouth

Hotel search in Portsmouth

The main symbol of a large port city is the historical docks, which were constructed back in 1194. Today, several beautiful old ships are moored here, each of which has its own amazing history. One of them is the flagship “Mary Rose” (Magu Rose). It was built in 1509 and belonged to the fleet of Henry VIII. Nearby is another beautiful flagship – “Victoria”. In 1805, he participated in the battle of Trafalgar Square, it was on this ship that Admiral Nelson managed to win.

Portsmouth is the perfect place for a romantic getaway with a decent selection of charming hotels. Seacrest Hotel is a popular destination for couples. This boutique hotel is … Open

Moored at the docks is the world’s first cruiser, the Warrier, which was built in 1860. The dock area is one of the most favorite places for tourists to walk. You can admire the ships moored here all day long. Not far from the harbor there is a historical district, on the territory of which many interesting architectural monuments have been preserved.

An outstanding building is the Moffad-Ladd house. It was built in 1763 and has survived to this day in its original form, a beautiful building is an excellent example of the so-called federal style that prevailed in Portsmouth at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. A few steps from the house is the Wentworth Gardner House building, which is also interesting from an architectural point of view. Copyright www.orangesmile.com

Portsmouth is considered a very attractive city for shopping. There are several interesting shopping areas on its territory. The Ganuarf district is considered the largest and most attractive … Open

It is worth noting that both houses are open to the public. Their interior space is decorated in full accordance with the style of past centuries. Spacious rooms are decorated with antique furniture and art objects. Portsmouth has a huge number of museums and galleries, a visit to which must be included in the excursion program. The Royal Naval Museum is one of the most visited places in the city.

Also of interest is the Royal Marines Museum, and those who are impressed by a walk along the historic docks should definitely look into the Historic Dockyard Museums. An interesting place for the whole family will be the Children’s Museum, where various interactive games are held every day. In the Albacore open-air museum, visitors can see the legendary submarine of the same name. She was built in 1953 and at that time was the fastest submarine in the world. Among the religious sights, the most interesting is the Cathedral of St. Thomas of Canterbury. A beautiful building with a rich history will definitely appeal to connoisseurs of architecture of past centuries.

Portsmouth is located on the shores of the Solent, it is a major port city, as well as the base of the British Navy. The city is very interesting for travelers because, like in any old English town, … Open

It is worth noting a few more beautiful religious sites, which are difficult to pass by. This is, for example, the Cathedral of St John’s Catholic Cathedral, which was founded in 1882. It is also notable for the fact that it was the first cathedral built in the city. The architect was John Crowley, but the master could not see his creation, having died a year before the construction of the shrine. As for the architectural style of the church, it was built in the Gothic Revival style, which was especially popular at the time. Another wonderful religious site is St Mary’s Church. For the first time, a religious building on the site of the current cathedral was erected at the beginning of the 12th century, and the building that can be seen today was built in the Victorian era. The same neo-gothic style is visible in the style.

Fans of viewing fortifications should go to the nearby town of Potsmouth – Gosport, where the “Advanced Gosport Line” is located, this is how this chain of five forts was called. These include Forts Brockhurst and Elson to the north, and Grange, Rowner and Gomer to the south. Each of them deserves a separate visit, their rich history fascinates any tourist. They were built in the middle of the 19th century to protect Portsmouth. The project for the construction of five forts was carried out by an officer of the Royal Engineers, William Crossman. A distinctive feature of the fortifications is their good preservation.

Vacationers with children in Portsmouth should definitely visit Leisure Island Park. This is a very beautiful and interesting amusement park, where there are suitable attractions for both kids and … Open

Gosport is home to the beautiful Little Woodham “living history village”, showing visitors the life of the British in the 17th century. It was created in 1984 for a temporary exhibition, but the locals liked the village so much that they were not ready to say goodbye to it – thus, the attraction is supported by the money of volunteers and the City Council. The complex includes a coal forge, pottery, weaving and turning workshops, a pharmacy, a hairdresser’s, a carpenter’s house. All buildings were recreated on the basis of excavations. It is worth noting that interesting holidays are often held in the village (Craft Day, Labor Day).

You can not ignore the defensive structure of Fort Nelson – one of the main symbols of Portsmouth along with the docks (Historic Dockyard). The fort was erected in 1859 to protect Great Britain from French troops. However, already in 1907 the fortification ceased to be such, in the 1950s the building was completely abandoned. Today you can find the Royal Arsenal here. Among the rare weapons presented in the Armory are the English cannon of 1450 (Boxted Bombard), as well as the Turkish bronze cannon of the period of 1464 (Dardanelles Gun) and weapons from the former colonies of Great Britain (India, China). Nearby is another remarkable fortification – Fort Southwick.

Portsmouth invites its guests to visit the best restaurants; the city has establishments of various directions. A popular restaurant is Restaurant 27, in addition to a large selection of national … Open

Another historically interesting building in Portsmouth is the medieval Portchester Castle, built on the site of a former Roman fort at the end of the 11th century. In 1154 the castle was in the possession of the monarchy, King John Lakdend (Landless) chose it as a favorite hunting lodge. Another monarch, Edward II, in order to avoid the attack of the French (which happened more than once in these lands), at the beginning of the XIV century ordered to strengthen the castle. It was here that a conspiracy against Henry V was discovered, the perpetrators were detained right in the fortress. Later, the building was used as a prison, but today you can find a museum here that stores artifacts from the Middle Ages.

But Portsmouth is not only about “living history”. Today it is flourishing, and relatively recently, the Spinnaker Tower, built in 2005, has become its symbol. In addition, the iconic place is notable for its original design in the form of a sail, developed by HGP Architects. The sail represents the rich maritime history of the British city. In addition, it is also the tallest building in the UK (its height is 170 meters). Those wishing to watch some of the theatrical performances should head to one of the several theaters to choose from: The Kings Theater or New Theater Royal, interesting shows for the whole family are also held at the cultural institutions Portsmouth Guildhall and The Spring Arts and Heritage Centre.

Portsmouth is an amazing city that attracts travelers not only with sights, but also with a rich cultural life. During the year, a lot of themed events are held here … Open

The real “pearl” of the city is the Portsmouth Museum with several thematic areas. Thus, connoisseurs of the work of Arthur Conan Doyle will appreciate the exhibition exploring the life of an outstanding British author and his most famous character. The second exhibition focuses on the other passion of the British – football, and the third – the history of the unique city of Portsmouth. Here you can see the recreated interior of the Victorian era (kitchen, bedroom, living room of that time). Another exhibition is dedicated to the fine arts from the 17th century to the modern.

Portsmouth gave birth to another outstanding British writer – Charles Dickens, which is why the house where he was born becomes a place of pilgrimage for all connoisseurs of literature and, in particular, the work of the author of the story about Oliver Twist. The Charles Dickens’ Birthplace building is located next to the city’s main attraction – the Historic Dockyard. Among the military museums, it is worth highlighting the cultural institution WW1 Remembrance Center, which houses many artifacts from the First World War. You can learn about the industry of the city in another excellent museum – the Treadgold Industrial Heritage Museum.

In addition to a rich excursion program, Portsmouth can offer its guests a lot of interesting entertainment. Viewing its panorama remains one of the most popular attractions among the guests of the city. … Open

Several places are ideal for exploring Portsmouth. First of all, it is worth mentioning the picturesque Southsea Greenhouse Park, on the territory of which there are several attractions. These include the Southsea Model Village miniature park, which presents the iconic places of the city on a small scale, and the cultural institution Cumberland House Natural History Museum, where you can find out a lot of interesting information about the world of fauna and flora, as well as the defensive structure Lumps Fort, which is part of the naval base Portsmouth, which was built in the 18th century. In addition, here, in the park, you can find beautiful gardens – The Rose Gardens with a variety of beautiful roses, and the Japanese Garden, distinguished by its extraordinary tranquility.

The Highland Road Cemetery with its many attractions in the form of chapels and tombstones, which are considered real works of art, is perfect for a walk. In addition, pastime here will be appreciated by those who want to spend time peacefully. The famous Millennium Promenade is another notable place in Portsmouth, introducing tourists to places previously closed to the public. The path is built of the highest quality stone, the route is marked so that no one can get lost. Other interesting places for the promenade are Staunton Park and Farlington Marshes Wildlife Reserve.

Teachers in the one year old classroom go above and beyond. They always show love to the children, they are all great!

Verified Shopper


It’s been awesome! The teachers and staff are very nice. Very loving. I just love this place.

Verified Shopper


I love the teachers at the infant and toddler room. My daughter cried a lot in the beginning and I always felt like they would comfort my daughter the best way they could. Now, she doesn’t even look back, she lives it here. It shows the teachers really love on my daughter.

Verified Shopper


I am extremely pleased with the school staff and curriculum. My child has made tremendous progress socially since attending. My child teacher is very attentive to each child and displays so much love and concern. I feel my child has a home away from home.

Verified Shopper


The staff are very caring of my child and very attentive when I drop him off and pick him up. At first I had a hard time with leaving him but they made me feel comfortable through pictures and messages through brightwheel. Each and everyone of those I come in contact with are loving and caring people so far.

Everyone is very friendly and welcoming! I love bringing her there

Verified Shopper


Our childtime location is friendly and nurturing. It seems like all the teachers know and love my child, even though they are not in the infant room with her.

Verified Shopper


I feel that my decision to begin care with Childtime wasn’t difficult. From onset of meeting with the center director and touring the center, I felt my child would be safe and engaged in enriching fun activity. Upon entry to the center, you are not only greeted by the staff, but also by the smell of good meals being prepped in the kitchen. The rooms and staff reflected warmth and cleanliness that made

…

me feel comfortable. The staff truly gets to know you, and makes an effort to check in with you during pick up and drop off. I love the Brightwheel app that allows me to see his progress daily throughout school. My decision in the coming year to send my little to public Kindergarten or continue here for private Kindergarten is very difficult because the care they give and the growth I see in my child has been excellent!

I adore the director, assistant director, and teachers at this school more than words can describe. I am an educator and there are times when I am critical on educational content and/or proper teaching styles when working with young children, but this staff always tries theirs best. Above all, they genuinely show care and respect for the children who attend their school and I know my child is looked

Amber and Mary are the best!!! Their faculty is always polite and welcoming. My daughter teacher Ms Cayla is just a sweetheart and teaches her a song i can never forget. The song tells her to always do her best and that she loves herself so that was very inspirational. That’s what keeps me there. It’s a place where she can be herself and learn in the process. Oso games are amazing and i got the idea

Vacation in Virginia Beach: Instagram story

Looking back at my travels, say 10-15 years ago, I never built in my mind the logic and sequence of events that take place on vacation, at a resort or just a new place for me. I could travel thousands of kilometers by train to Voronezh to defend my dissertation or make tours to St. Petersburg with the Volga State Russian Folk Choir. P. Miloslavova (I have performed on stage in the past, this is another little secret that I reveal to my readers), so … before, I never thought so much about how to get to know a new place better, where to start, that’s all it happened somehow intuitively or with a specific goal, which was a priority, and all the spiritual and reverent feelings for a new place were in the background or simply not pulsing so clearly in my head. Now everything is different, now I travel and find myself in every new place for myself with completely different feelings, the approach to acquaintance is different. An example is my last vacation in Virginia Beach (USA, Virginia).

Beginning of history

To say that this date with Virginia Beach was the first in my life is to be cunning. We have known each other for 15 years, and it was extremely interesting for me to visit there again. Today is the story of my second date with these cities, a very interesting date, which I talked about on my Instagram. Do not be lazy to read the comments to the posts, there are a lot of interesting things.

Back in 2004, I had the good fortune to admire the Atlantic Ocean for more than 6 months, living in Virginia Beach, swimming, playing volleyball on the beach. I have very fond memories of that time.

There was a short break in the tape, and the 13 hours of the Montreal-Virginia Beach rally in the USA are to blame for this. We drove through 2 provinces: Quebec and Ontario, as well as 5 states: New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware and ended up in Virginia. Sometime 15 years ago, it was on this beach that I fell asleep when the sun was in its most active state, and when I woke up, I realized that my end had come! And for 3 weeks I couldn’t sleep at all, well, I got enough sleep before that under the sun … . Friends, be careful! . And I have a lot of memories of how it was to live here for six months in my student years! . #virginiabeach #virginiabeachoceanfront #virginiabeach #yavssha #summer2019#namoreskids #america #namorenaavto #oksana_tolstykh_usa

Our journey from Montreal took 2 days, we divided 13 hours of travel into two stages, it was much more convenient than traveling such a distance in one day.

⁉️ WHAT IS THE CHESAPEAKE BAY? WHY IS IT UNIQUE? . #oksana_tolstykh_physical_geography . The Chesapeake Bay remained to our right as we drove to the resort town of Virginia Beach from Maryland to Virginia (the southernmost area in the second photo). This place is unique because is the largest estuary in the United States and belongs to the Susquehanna River. ⁉️WHAT IS ESTUARY? . In our case, this is part of the Atlantic Ocean penetrating into the mainland in the form of a bay. ⁉️ WHAT IS THE BAY UNIQUE? . More than 150 rivers and streams flow into it! Truly unique…. Five hundred years ago, this area was inhabited by only a few tribes of Indians. And, of course, having got into a historical photo studio, the question of choosing a suit for a photo shoot did not even arise … but more on that tomorrow! . #oksana_tolstoy_maps #oksana_tolstoy_geographical_terminology #virginiabeach #oksana_tolstoy_physical_geography #virginia #virginiabeach #teacher of geography #teacher in class #candidate of geographic sciences #oksana_tolstoy_usa

Atlantic Ocean

The waves in the Atlantic are special, they are daring, burning and very persistently strive to knock you down as soon as you start to dream. This is the beauty of the ocean! You are always in good shape!

⁉️ IS A SPECIAL DAY TODAY? . For my family personally, it’s just June 25, nothing special, but in general today is the official Navigator’s Day or Sailor’s Day. #oksana_tolstykh_think_aloud . Well, how can I not tell you about it? We have already talked so much about them, about these desperate people … And how much more we will talk … #oksana_tolstoy_geographical_discoveries . I would like to be born at a time when not all places and continents were yet discovered on the planet, in order to hear the news that something new and unknown has become available to mankind. They wouldn’t take me on a ship, I’m not a man, but I would definitely be able to participate in the meeting of sailors in the port … . ❤️ The Atlantic Ocean is under your feet, and there is only romance in your head . .. . #oksana_tolstoy_thinking_aloud #oksana_tolstoy_travelers #virginiabeach #usatrips #virginiabeach #sshatourism #sailor’s day #navigator’s day #important date #geography teacher #classroom teacher #hochuvssha #lifeussa #candidate of geographic sciences

Retro – photo

On this trip, I fulfilled my long-standing desire. We have replenished family portraits with a new retro photo. In what way I would be, it was immediately clear to me. I really love the topic of ethnic tourism, ethnic outfits and costumes, and in general I am very interested in the indigenous peoples of any area, especially North America.

❤️ I step over the threshold of a photo studio in Virginia Beach, and it’s not even a question of choosing a suit. I don’t need a hundred combinations of old dresses that whites wore. I only want an indigenous dress. And of course it is available. #oksana_tolstykh_geography_of_population . 🎓 Today, about 5 million people live in the United States who consider themselves Indians – the descendants of those millions of redskins who fought so desperately with the Europeans. 🎓 Of the total number of the population living in the United States today, this is some 1.5%. I will tell you the history of their oppression and extermination later, but for now, one date is very important for the Indians! Only at 1924, the Indian Citizenship Act went into effect. A white man came, seized their territory, exterminated them for 300 years, imposed his religion, forced them to live on reservations (which by and large is happening now, and in Canada, by the way, too), then decided to give citizenship to those people whose land belongs by right ! A paradox and an injustice that I will never understand… . #oksana_tolstoy_geography_of the population #oksana_tolstoy_geographical_discoveries #oksana_tolstoy_historical_geography #virginiabeach #virginia #retrophoto #indian costume #photos in the old style #usa #traveling with children #candidate of geographic sciences #teacher of geography #geographer #geographer #oksana_tolstoy_usa

• Mansion and slave plantations of the third US President – Thomas Jefferson (history)
• Chesapeake Bay Beach (beaches)
• Currituck National Wildlife Refuge (nature)
• Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge (nature)
• Historic Triangle – Williamsburg, Jamestown, Yorktown
• Capital Richmond – a must!
• Military Aviation Museum, Virginia Beach (history)

Beaches

To be honest, we didn’t get to all the places, my 3-year-old daughter didn’t let us go to museums much, everything pulled us to the beach and to the beach …

⁉️ WHAT IS THE BOTTOM OF THE WORLD OCEAN? . #oksana_tolstykh_physical_geography . Even 80 years ago, this question would have remained unanswered, but we live in an era of scientific breakthrough, and therefore there is an answer. Middle of the 20th century: study of the relief and geological structure of the bottom of the seas and oceans. The most important discoveries and discoveries: . 📌 Dozens of large underwater ridges 📌 Hundreds of seamounts, pits, hills 📌 Study of the geological structure of the earth’s crust under the oceans. 🎓 The most gigantic in terms of length and area mountain system of the Earth passes through ALL oceans – MID-OCEAN ridges. The total length is more than 60 thousand km. 🎓 ISLAND ARC – a continuing part of the mainland, going under water, but with its peaks rising above the water, in the form of teeth or peaks. The accompanying narrow and deep depressions of these prongs are called DEEP-SEA TRUTCHES. 🎓 The continental crust has a thickness of 35 to 45 km, but passing into the ocean, this crust becomes 5 to 10 km thick. 🎓 Shelf, i.e. the continental slope into the ocean is the most explored part of the world’s water space. She is 9% of the total bottom area, and is rich in oil and gas. 🎓 More than 50% of the area of ​​the ocean floor is the OCEAN BED. Random elevations up to 500 m. 🎓 SEAMOUNTS – higher free-standing hills, as a rule, of volcanic origin. 🎓 WAVING PLAINS – a much smaller proportion of the total area, covered with a layer of bottom sediments. In a nutshell, that’s all! . #oksana_tolstoy_physical_geography #bottom of the world ocean #worldocean #geography for children #geographyoge #geographic society #rgo #teacher of geography #candidate of geographic sciences #candidate of science

And this is the view from our window every morning. Always take the ocean view number, it’s wonderful when you wake up, and there is such a horizon in the window!

⁉️ BREEZE! What kind of wind is this? . You wake up in the morning broken with a headache, realizing that the atmospheric pressure has changed its indicators again, and this means that the day will be difficult . .. . 🎓 The wind is also very sensitive! The cause of wind is differences in air density, in atmospheric pressure. 🎓 The wind always blows in the direction where the air density is 📌 LESS. On the seashore we see it every day. ⁉️ Why? . 🎓 The hot sun heats the surface of the earth, and that, in turn, heats the air that rises, becoming lighter after heating. Thus, warm air, as it were, “offers” colder winds from the sea to take its place. 🎓 Evening comes, and the earth cools down, and the sea is still warm (have you noticed how cool it is to swim in warm water after sunset? The air has already cooled down, and in the water it is much warmer than on the shore). So, at this moment, when the vapors above the water become warmer than the air above the cooling earth, the reverse process occurs: the wind begins to blow from the coast towards the sea. 📌This is the Breeze – the wind that changes its direction twice a day from the coast to the sea and back. #oksana_tolstykh_physical_geography #ocean #atlantic #geoworld #geographer #teacher of geography #rgo #sciencegeography #oksana_tolstykh_usa #oksana_tolstykh_world_geography

There are wonderful little beaches, if you don’t like the big ones 100 meters wide. This is the path we have come to the ocean for the last 4 days. And what a needle there!

View this post on Instagram

⁉️ WHY IS IT USEFUL TO BE IN CONIFEROUS FORESTS? . #oksana_tolstykh_geography_of plants . This is just a road to the sea in the town of Virginia Beach (Virginia), which we have been walking for the 4th day in a row to the beach. And wherever you look, everywhere there are a lot of needles in the form of shrubs or giant trees. And here are my thoughts for you. 📌 Try to find the relationship between the words: . ➡️ needles ➡️ scurvy ➡️ breath ➡️ beriberi. And the connection is the most direct! Have you ever heard or read about scurvy among Russians who explored and settled the expanses of Siberia? Hardly! Do you know why? . 🎓 In those distant times, when the great navigators Bering, Barents and Magellan almost died from scurvy, having lost 70% of his team during his route, Siberians did not even know about this terrible disease. The fact is that they ate young needles! The needles contain at least 200 mg% of vitamin C – the same amount as in blackcurrant and sea buckthorn, and 7 times more than in lemons. As for the air in the coniferous forest: . 🎓 Scientists have calculated that the air in a coniferous forest contains no more than 200-300 bacteria per cubic meter, that is, compared to the air we breathe, for example, in public transport, it is practically sterile! . ☘️ Conclusion: all in the coniferous forest and breathe! . #oksana_tolstykh_usa #coniferousforest #virginiabeach #health #tourist routes #mytravels #PhD #geographer #teacher of geography #virginiabeach #vacations2019#triptousa

⁉️ HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT SUCH A CONCEPT IN GEOGRAPHY AS AN OCEANOSPHERE? . ⁉️ No? I am not surprised, because today learned geographers are only thinking about introducing this concept and approving it officially, although for the first time I spoke about it as early as 1949 scientist V.N.Stepanov. #oksana_tolstykh_physical_geography . Agree that there is an atmosphere, a stratosphere and many other “spheres”, but the Planetary Ocean was somehow not respected. How so? . 🎓Most of the Earth’s surface, or rather, almost 3/4 of its territory is covered by oceans and seas. 🎓 The territory of the Planetary Ocean is 2.5 times larger than the entire territory of the land. 🎓 The average thickness of all the waters of the Planetary Ocean is 4 km! . 🎓 All the seas and oceans on the planet are very different in their characteristics and properties from fresh water: rivers and lakes. So why not separate this Ocean Giant into a separate “Sphere”? I think that in my lifetime it will definitely happen. #geography teacher #geographer #virginiabeach #vacations2019#triptousa

⁉️ WHY IS THE WATER WARM ON THE ATLANTIC COAST OF THE USA? . Well, North America is lucky to have a warm Gulf Stream along its coastline, almost 90 km wide and up to 400 meters deep, and with temperatures up to 26 degrees (but not in all areas). 🎓 The current starts from the Strait of Florida, where the southernmost point of the US Florida Keys is located, right above Cuba, then the current moves along the coast of North America to the Newfoundland Bank (Canadians are also lucky to have these warm streams, but they fish there more than they swim). 🎓 Then the current crosses the Atlantic, becoming the North Atlantic Current, brings a warm climate and mild winters to Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Holland and Belgium, in winter there is 15-20 C higher than it should be at this geographical latitude. For the same reason, seaports on the coast of Norway and the Russian northern port of Murmansk, located above the Arctic Circle in the Barents Sea, are ice-free all year round, in other words, they do not freeze. 🎓 To a greater extent, all sea currents depend on the flow of air in the atmosphere. It is the atmosphere through a system of constant winds that sets the ocean waters in motion. Water moves to where the density of the atmosphere is less. Also of great importance is the rotation of the earth. #oksana_tolstykh_physical_geography #oksana_tolstykh_usa #oksana_tolstykh_maps #geography🌍 #teacher of geography #candidate of geographic sciences #atlantic #warmseas #usa #sshtourism #easygeography #teacherin class

⁉️ WHY ARE WAVES ON WATER ALWAYS DIFFERENT? . #oksana_tolstykh_physical_geography . The morning before leaving Virginia for Philadelphia is especially good and memorable. I go for a morning walk on a deserted beach. It was stormy yesterday, and today the waves of the Atlantic gently hug the heels of all those who got up early and say hello or, as in my case, say Goodbye to Big Water. ⁉️ “Why are you such a calm, mighty Ocean today?” . The most common cause is the presence or absence of wind. In this case, the waves can reach 15 meters. 🎓 A wave of 20-30 meters will never go unnoticed on land. It will turn into catastrophic destruction for the coastline, because. these are tsunamis that occur in the oceans during underground earthquakes. 🎓 Are ebbs and flows also waves? Yes! This is the type of “long waves” up to km or more. They have a strict periodicity of 12 hours or 24 hours. 🎓 “Dead swell” is a wave in which ships get stuck, as if losing the possibility of a fast move. The reason for such waves is internal, deep waves, which reach the surface of the water only in the form of weak echoes. 🎓 “Tyagun” – Volga with a frequency of 1-5 minutes. Also the echo of distant storms. 🎓 Standing waves are called “Seiches”, their frequency is usually up to several hours. Occur most often in reservoirs surrounded on all sides by land. ❤️Goodbye, mighty Ocean! . #oksana_tolstykh_usa #oksana_tolstykh_physical_geography #want usa #geographyforchildren #geographynavkus #geographyforkids #virginiabeach #mypublications

📌 GEOGRAPHY AND ART. #oksana_tolstykh_think_aloud . I’m in the Philadelphia Museum of Fine Arts, standing in front of an unknown painting by an unknown artist. I understand only one thing, that this is Venice … . I immediately remember the map, the geographical location of the city relative to the coast, the name of the sea that splashes there nearby. 📌 Further thought: “This is a chic way to learn art and geography at the same time” (in my heart I am a hidden art critic). Well, it’s true! . 📌 Roerich painted endless mountains. Which? Why these mountains? . 📌 Aivazovsky – only seas and waves! What seas? Or what oceans? Each painting has its own story of origin. 📌 What about the Impressionists? These are endless landscapes of some horizons, hills and parks. ⁉️ Are you ready for this format of learning geography? Will I please you with a new canvas once a week? . P.S. Someday I will definitely get an education in art criticism❤️ . #oksana_tolstykh_paintings #oksana_tolstykh_thinking_aloud #philadelphia #artpainting #museumphiladelphia #myblog #geography_art

Virginia Beach Boardwalk
In a city with the word “beach” in its name, it would be strange not to spend some time by the sea. The coast of Virginia Beach offers golden sand and a fishing pier, as well as all the ice cream shops and restaurants you’d expect to find. If you have the energy, why not walk the full length of the 3 mile boardwalk? While the oceanfront may have had a raucous reputation in the past, it has now been tidied up and is a great place to relax on a sunny day..

3. Hiking Some Trails in First Landing State Park

Captain Jack’s Pirate Ship
Captain Jack’s Pirate Ship in Virginia Beach is a somewhat unique attraction. Known as the Lost Jewel, the ship was built to the strict specifications of the US Coast Guard and is a replica of a Spanish galleon. Children (and most adults) will enjoy sailing on the ship and trying to sink a small rowboat with powerful water cannons on board. The boat is a great place to celebrate a child’s birthday, but if you’re older than the traveler, why not party on a 21+ club cruise.

18. Visit the Fun Fair

Source: Atlantic Fun Park
Atlantic Fun Park
Atlantic Fun Park is an old school fun park and possibly the best family attraction in town. Classic rides include the Ferris Wheel, Crazy Surf and Sea Dragon. The park has something for all ages, and while the rides aren’t as modern as the ones you’ll find at Six Flags parks, it’s still a great afternoon or evening. The fair opens from 17:00 on weekdays and from 12:00 on weekends.

Nightmare Haunted House
The Nightmare Haunted House, located on a resort strip in Virginia Beach, is one of the scariest haunted attractions in the country. This is not a haunted train for kids, but a nightmare experience made especially for adults. Wander the narrow corridors of the mansion that was once home to Dr. Morgan and his family. The family loved the house so much that they never left it: even after an early death.

Wildfowl Heritage Museum
The Atlantic Wildfowl Heritage Museum is located in the historic De Witt Cottage right on the oceanfront in Virginia Beach. The museum is dedicated to introducing visitors to the range of lures used to catch wild birds in the area. For those who don’t already know, Wildfowling is the name given to hunting ducks and geese mainly on tidal estuaries and coastal marshes.

First grade boy: 5 Things All First Graders Have In Common

Опубликовано: August 17, 2020 в 11:12 am

Автор: alexxlab

Категории: Boy

Developmental Milestones for First Grade (6- and 7-Year-Olds)

Moving up from kindergarten means big changes. Not so much in physical skills, but in the way kids begin to think and interact with the world. There’s a lot of growth in social and thinking skills in first grade.

Check out these developmental milestones to get a sense of which skills are typical for first graders.

Physical milestones

Most kids gain stamina and coordination during first grade. They may start the year a little uncoordinated, because the big muscles in their arms and legs are better developed than the small muscles they use for smaller movements. What kids can do physically this year doesn’t change as much as how well they’re able to do it.

By the end of first grade, most kids will:

• Have improved hand-eye coordination for things like tying shoelaces
• Be able to dance in time with the music — and even add some cool moves like spinning in place without moving from one spot
• Have handwriting that’s getting neater and easier to read
• Run, hop, skip, and jump
• Throw and kick a ball, and catch it with both hands
• Copy shapes and letters
• Know how to use utensils the right way (even if they don’t always do it!)
• May begin playing a musical instrument
• Ride a bike without training wheels
• Be capable of doing chores like sweeping or making the bed
• Tie shoes and button and zip independently

Cognitive milestones

Kids’ thinking skills this year allow them to start exploring the world to find answers to their own questions. During first grade, most kids:

• Start developing the skills to reason and think logically
• Try to think about things before making decisions
• Learn from what they hear and read — not just from what they see and do
• Have trouble making choices because they want to do everything at once
• Can read several sight words (words they see frequently and can read without sounding out) and sound out other words
• Begin to have a better sense of time, understanding increments of time, days, weeks, months, and seasons
• Predict what comes next in a pattern, and recognize and create their own patterns
• Count to 100 by ones, twos, fives, and tens
• Write and recognize the numerals 0 to 100, and the words for numbers from one to twenty
• Do basic addition and subtraction up to 20

Language milestones

By the start of first grade, kids may use language in long and complicated sentences to talk about the past, present, and future. But this year, they may start combining spoken language with reading and writing. First graders typically:

• Start sounding out words
• Understand the relationship between letters and sounds
• Know, use, and understand thousands of words
• Stop reversing letters (by the end of first grade)
• Try to express feelings with words, but may resort to aggression when upset
• Use words to convince people of their viewpoint and to tell stories
• Tell jokes and riddles, and may understand simple puns
• Tell little lies about everyday things

First-grade social-emotional skills are an interesting mix of independence and an increased need for your attention and approval. By the time they turn 7, kids typically start to understand that friendships aren’t something they can control by themselves. That may make them a little anxious. Many kids also:

• Are more independent, but less secure (they may want a lot of attention and approval from adults)
• Form and break friendships easily, and can be critical of other kids
• Get their feelings hurt more easily and start being very aware of other people’s feelings
• Are eager to please and want to “be first” and win
• Understand right from wrong, but look for the loopholes in rules to get what they want
• Are more aware of how others see them
• Begin to understand what it means to feel embarrassed

There’s a lot of variation in how quickly kids develop skills throughout first grade. But if a child isn’t doing most of these things by the end of first grade, parents and teachers should talk about what they’re seeing, and what might help.

Parents and caregivers should also share their concerns with their child’s health care provider. If a child needs support in some skill areas, now is a good time to start.

Take a look forward at developmental milestones for second and third graders.

Key takeaways

• First graders often start using language for new things, like telling jokes or convincing others of their viewpoint.

• A first grader may seem more independent, but still needs emotional support and approval.

• If a child isn’t meeting most of the milestones, parents and caregivers should talk with their child’s teacher and health care provider.

Inside the 1st grader’s brain

“That’s not fair!”

If your 6-year-old’s pleas for justice are driving you nuts, take note: Your child’s fixation on fairness is developmentally positive. The first grader’s swiftly developing brain is leaping from magical thinking to logical, rational mental processing; she’s eager to understand the principles behind rules and regulations.

First graders are incongruously attracted to both the penal code (laws, police, ethics, traffic signs, crime, jail) and to competitive winning — at all costs! They’ll panic if you jaywalk because they fear prison. But they’ll also lie, cheat, and argue to win.

What’s happening neurologically inside the first grader’s conflicted skull? The buzzing three-and-a-half foot child in front of you is experiencing major brain blasts as his cognitive circuits are getting programmed — for life! First graders have trillions of pathways that connect their neurons in the cerebral cortex. This tangle of wiring is getting pruned in a 6-year-old at an alarmingly intense rate. The rarest-used pathways are eliminated to streamline each individual’s thought process. Here’s some help to optimize your first grader’s quickly developing mind:

Aim high

The sensory lobes that recognize and analyze challenges are maturing at a rapid rate in the 6-year-old’s brain. In other words, the first grade brain has stunning plastic capability that should never be underestimated. Your first grader will do best with a sensitive, yet demanding teacher who insists on quality work. According to professor of psychiatry at UCLA School of Medicine Daniel Siegel, teachers’ expectations of students’ abilities have a huge effect on student learning. In one study, teachers were mistakenly told that some of their students who had been previously identified as learning disabled were in fact gifted. After the teachers raised expectations, the students performed up to expectations.

Reading help

Learning to read by “sounding out” letters in words is difficult for many first graders, even if their brain’s auditory development is excellent. One reason, notes Jeannine Herron, Ph.D., author of Making Speech Visible, is that memorizing the alphabet is misleading because letter titles — A, B, C, etc. — don’t sound precisely like the sounds they represent. For example, the letter “G” has a “J” sound, “H” is way off-base with its “AAACH” pronunciation, and all the vowels can be utilized with more than one sound. This difficulty delays thousands of struggling readers. To circumvent this, Herron recommends teaching first graders to “pay attention to what their mouth is doing” when they learn phonemes.

Talk it up

Your loquacious first grader will thrive if you talk and read with her as often as possible, since rapid brain growth in vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation happens primarily before the age of 7. An Entropy article authored by Princeton researchers reports that 6-year-olds can comprehend 13,000 words because their cerebral cortex, with such strong circuitry, acquires language at the rate of 10 new words per day — which means a new word every 90 minutes! Six-year-old brains have developed interconnected “mental language maps” where they can quickly chart and categorize the meaning of words. To help their language skills develop, include them in adult conversations. This is also a prime time to introduce a second, or even third, language.

Safe space

First graders need to feel relaxed and emotionally secure for their brains to learn best. Research indicates that traumatic stress and fear releases toxic levels of the hormone cortisol, which can destroy neurons in the hippocampus, a region that supports factual and episodic memory. To protect a first grader’s confidence, parents and other important adults should give loving, encouraging feedback, as well as minimize reprimands and threats, and avoid shouting and spanking for discipline. Express sympathy if they’re terrorized by nightmares or ashamed of bed-wetting. Many children continue enuresis until age seven or longer.

Calm the storm

Patience, patience. Dramatic 6-year-olds can be exasperating, but imagine what they’re experiencing. In Your Child’s Growing Mind, by Jane M. Healy, Ph.D., she notes that, “Neuropsychologists talk about the ‘five-to-seven shift’ because so much change occurs in the brain during these years. One study found that a specific area involved with language and spatial awareness had changed 85 percent between ages 6 and 7 in one girl’s brain.”

Tuning into the first grade brain

A 2009 Journal of Neuroscience article reports that when 31 6-year-olds received instrumental musical training for 15 months, the result was impressive changes in brain anatomy. For example, the auditory and cortical motor systems actually grew larger. So expose your child to music, and if she demonstrates an interest, by all means, get her an instrument. Play structured melodic music for your child and sing songs.

Focusing research

A first grader’s attention span ranges from six to 20 minutes, depending partly on gender. A report published in NeuroImage claims, “we found robust male/female differences in the shapes of the trajectories with total cerebral volume peaking at age 10.5 in females and 14.5 in males.” This difference, says Leonard Sax. M.D., author of Boys Adrift, explains why 6-year-old boys can’t pay attention as long as 6-year-old girls. To bolster a boy’s concentration, encourage activities like meditation and board games, and limit TV and video watching. Studies indicate screens over-stimulate still-developing neurology, resulting in abbreviated attention. Why? Some researchers believe TV and video viewing wastefully releases high quantities of the neurotransmitter dopamine, a key regulator for focus.

Of brain and brawn

Try scheduling at least 30 minutes a day for your first grader to run and play outside. According to John Ratey MD, author of Spark, exercise elevates a chemical Ratey dubs “Miracle-Gro for the brain” because it builds the brain’s infrastructure. Aerobic sports programs like soccer, swimming, hockey and martial arts are outstanding brain-boosters. First graders thrive on physical challenges because their energetic, integrated sensory systems progress far quicker than adults. Abundant research reveals that students who exercise intensely perform better academically than those who do not.

Mute emotions

Don’t expect 6-year-olds to open up easily and “share their feelings.” When Harvard neuroscientists using MRI imaged activity in young children’s brains, they discovered that the cerebral cortex that does the talking is not yet connected to the amygdala, a subcortical, primitive area where emotion occurs.  That’s why it makes little sense to ask first-graders to tell you why they’re feeling sad. Quite often, they don’t know!

A balance of brain food

Feed your child a balanced mixture of vegetables, fruit, whole grains, dairy and meat, and limit their intake of candy, cookies, fruit juice, and sugary, salty junk food. Children need a wide variety of essential nutrients for optimal brain growth. For example, egg yolk, fatty meat, and soybeans contain choline, the building block for the neurotransmitter acetylocholine, which is crucial in memory function. Learn about more healthy brain foods kids love.

First grade is critical for reading skills, but some kids are way behind

AUSTIN, Texas — Most years, by the third week of first grade, Heather Miller is working with her class on writing the beginning, middle and end of simple words. This year, she had to backtrack — all the way to the letter “H.”

This story also appeared in USA Today

“Do we start at the bottom or do we start at the top?” Miller asked as she stood in front of her class at Doss Elementary.

“Top!” chorused a few voices.

“When I do an H, I do a straight line down, another straight line down and then I cross in the middle,” Miller said, demonstrating on a projector in a front corner of the classroom.

Her 25 students set to work on their own. Some got it right away. One student watched his tablemate before slowly copying down his own H’s. Another tested her own way of writing the letter: one line down, cross in the middle, then another line down. “Your paper is upside down, let’s turn it,” Miller said to a student who was trying to write letters while leaning sideways, almost out of her seat.

In classrooms across the country, the first months of school this fall have laid bare what many in education feared: Students are way behind in skills they should have mastered already.

Children in early elementary school have had their most formative first few years of education disrupted by the pandemic, years when they learn basic math and reading skills and important social-emotional skills, like how to get along with peers and follow routines in a classroom.

While experts say it’s likely these students will catch up in many skills, the stakes are especially high around literacy. Research shows if children are struggling to read at the end of first grade, they are likely to still be struggling as fourth graders. And in many states with third grade reading “gates” in place, students could be at risk of getting held back if they haven’t caught up within a few years.

40 percent — The number of first grade students “well below grade level” in reading in 2020, compared with 27 percent in 2019, according to Amplify Education Inc.

First grade in particular — “the reading year,” as Miller calls it — is pivotal for elementary students, when their literacy skills “really take off.” Kindergarten focuses on easing children from a variety of educational backgrounds — or none at all — into formal schooling. In contrast, first grade concentrates on moving students from pre-reading skills and simple math, like counting, to more complex skills, like reading and writing sentences and adding and subtracting numbers.

By the end of first grade in Texas, students are expected to be able to mentally add or subtract 10 from any given two-digit number, retell stories using key details and write narratives that sequence events. The benchmarks are similar to those used in the more than 40 states that, along with the District of Columbia, adopted the national Common Core standards a decade ago.

Teachers often see a range of literacy skills, and that could be more pronounced this year due to the pandemic

“They really grow as readers in first grade, and writers,” Miller said. “It’s where they build their confidence in their fluency.”

But about half of Miller’s class of first graders at Doss Elementary, a spacious, bright, newly built school in northwest Austin, spent kindergarten online. Some were among the tens of thousands of children who sat out kindergarten entirely last year.

More than a month into this school year, Miller found she was spending extensive time on social lessons she used to teach in kindergarten, like sharing and problem-solving.  She stopped class repeatedly to mediate disagreements. Finally, she resorted to an activity she used to use in kindergarten: role-playing social scenarios, like what to do if someone accidentally trips you.

“My kids are so spread out in their needs … there’s so much to teach, and somehow there’s not enough time.”

Heather Miller, first grade teacher

“So many kids are missing that piece from last year because they were, you know, virtual or on an iPad for most of the time, and they don’t know how to problem-solve with each other,” Miller said. “That’s just caused a lot of disruption during the school day.” 

Her students were also not as independent as they had been in previous years. Used to working on tablets or laptops for much of their day, many of these students were also behind in fine motor skills, struggling to use scissors and still working on correctly writing numbers.

Instead of working on first grade standards, Miller was devoting time on this Friday morning in early September to forming upper- and lowercase letters, a kindergarten standard in Texas and the majority of other states. As students finished practicing the letter H, they moved on to the assignment at the bottom of the page: Draw a picture and write a word describing something that starts with an H.

“H-r-o-s” one student wrote next to a picture of a horse standing on green grass in front of a light blue sky. “H-e-a-r-s” another student wrote next to a picture of a strip of brown hair, floating in the white picture box. “You should draw a face there,” suggested his tablemate, pointing at the blank space under the hair.

Miller’s first graders are a case study in the scale, depth and unevenness of learning loss during the pandemic.  One report by Amplify Education Inc., which creates curriculum, assessment and intervention products, found children in first and second grade experienced dramatic drops in grade level reading scores compared with those in previous years.

In 2020, 40 percent of first grade students and 35 percent of second grade students  were scoring “well below grade level” on a reading assessment, compared with 27 percent and 29 percent the previous year. That means a school would need to offer “intensive intervention” to nearly 50 percent more students than before the pandemic.

Data analyzed by McKinsey & Company late last year concluded that children have lost at least one and a half months of reading. Other data show low-income, Black and Latinx students are falling further behind than their white peers, leading to worsening achievement gaps.

Experts say it’s now clear families who had time and resources to help their children with academics when schooling was disrupted had a tremendous advantage.

“Higher-income parents, higher-educated parents, are likely to have worked with their children to teach them to read and basic numbers, and some of those really basic early foundational skills that kids generally get in pre-K, kindergarten and first grade,” said Melissa Clearfield, a professor of psychology who focuses on young children and poverty at Whitman College.

“Families who were not able to, either because their parents were essential workers or children whose parents are significantly low-income or not educated, they’re going to be really far behind.”

What Miller has observed in the first few weeks of the school year is likely taking place in classrooms nationwide, experts say. In April, researchers with the nonprofit NWEA, which develops pre-K-12 assessments, predicted how the pandemic’s disruptions would manifest among the kindergarten class of 2021: a wider range of ability levels; large class sizes with more diverse ages because some parents held children back a grade; and students unfamiliar with in-person classroom routines.

“We predicted that there would be a lot of diversity in skills,” said Brooke Mabry, strategic content design coordinator for NWEA Professional Learning. That includes skills related to academics, social-emotional learning and executive functioning, she added.

The varying experiences children had with school last year also impacted fine motor skill development, independence, ability to navigate conflicts and the “unfinished learning” teachers are now observing, she added.

While switching to remote learning was hard on many students, younger students were generally unable to log themselves on to a computer independently and focus on virtual lessons for extended periods of time. Teachers, who usually rely on small, in-person groups for  early literacy skills, instead had to teach letters, sounds and sight words via online platforms.

Miller had the unwieldy task of teaching kids both in person and online, spending her year pivoting between students in front of her and students on her computer screen, using her projector to display books to students at home and teaching reading skills via virtual groups.

Now, with students in front of her again, Miller was finding that those online lessons weren’t as useful as many had hoped.

Miller, 30, is a calm, confident teacher who is in her eighth year of teaching and her second at Doss. She usually has students with a wide range of ability levels at the beginning of the year, although Doss is relatively affluent. Nearly 62 percent of students at the school are white, and fewer than 20 percent are economically disadvantaged, compared with the district average of nearly 53 percent. In 2019, 95 percent of Doss’ students passed the state reading assessment.

But this year, Miller saw larger gaps in reading skills than ever before. Usually, her first graders would start with reading levels ranging from mid-kindergarten to second grade. This year, the levels spanned early kindergarten up to fourth grade.

“My kids are so spread out in their needs,” Miller said. “I just feel like — and I’m sure every teacher feels like this — there’s so much to teach, and somehow there’s not enough time.”

She’s also seen higher literacy levels for kids who went to school in person last year. To her, it speaks to the immense benefits kids get from all aspects of in-person learning. “It just shows how important it is for these kids to be around their peers and just have normalcy,” she said.

To catch kids up, Miller is relying on, among other things, one of the staples of the early elementary classroom: center time. For two hours a day, she works with small groups of students on the specific math and reading skills they are lacking.

On a recent October morning, Miller divided her class into five groups to rotate through various activities around her room. She gave her students a few minutes to finish a writing assignment as she pulled out several sets of small books at various reading levels; colorful plastic, hollow phones so her students could hear themselves read; and for a group of struggling readers, a matching game featuring cards showing various letters and pictures.

“I feel like I’m teaching four grades,” Miller said as she arranged the materials on her desk.

Several minutes later, seated at a table in the back of the room with five of her grade-level readers, Miller handed them each a phone, a small book and a green witch’s finger to help them point at the words in the book. “Today we’re going to talk about our reading tools,” Miller said, holding up a blue plastic phone. “These are called whisper phones. You whisper so you can hear yourself sound out the words,” she said. “Do these go on our heads?”

“No!” the students said, giggling.

“You know what these are for?” she said, holding up a rubber finger.

“Um, they’re for reading,” one student said. “’Cause I had them in kindergarten.”

“Very good. Are these for picking your nose?” Miller asked.

“No!” the students said, laughing.

She placed a book in front of each child and walked them through a series of exercises, including looking at the cover and predicting what the book would be about.

Then, they opened their books and began to read in a whisper. Miller turned from one side of the table to the other, listening as students read to themselves, pointing at each word with their green rubber fingers. She helped them sound out challenging words, like “away.” One by one, the students finished the book. A few read it several times in the minutes allotted.

Miller’s next group, all of whom were reading far below grade level, required a different activity. Rather than handing out a book, Miller pulled out a letter-matching game at the table, using materials she had from her days as a kindergarten teacher. She placed two small laminated cards on the table, one showing the letter D and a picture of a dog, and one with the letter B and a picture of a ball.

“We’re going to do your letters today,” Miller said to the group. “What letter is this?” she asked, pointing to the B.

“Ball!” one student responded.

“What letter?” Miller asked again. There was a pause.

“B!” another student responded.

“What sound does it make?”

“Buh,” a third student said.

The students ran through the activity, looking at pictures of items starting with B and D like a doll, ball, dog and dolphin, and sorting them into piles based on the starting letter.

Experts like Clearfield say finding new or different strategies to help students learn grade-level content after the last 18 months will be critical, even if that means pulling out activities typically used by lower grade levels, as Miller did with her lowest reading group.

It also may mean recruiting help from outside the classroom. Miller said Doss already had a strong team of interventionists to rely on, and several of her students receive extra reading help during the day.

Miller has also found it helpful to work with her fellow first grade teachers to solve a shared academic challenge. This fall, the first grade teachers all discovered that many of their students were behind in reading sight words. They began meeting regularly to share tips and strategies to combat this.

Despite the obvious need to catch kids up, Miller has been mindful of not coming on too strong with remediation efforts. “I don’t want to push them so hard where they get burned out,” she said on an October evening. “They’ve been through so much.”

Related:  We know how to help young children cope with the trauma of the last year— but will we do it?

Mabry, of NWEA, said while catching students up is important, society needs to view the recovery process as a multiyear effort. “In previous years, when looking at unfinished learning and finding ways to get students to accelerated growth, we never expected that we would get students who need support to meet those accelerated goals in one year. We would never approach it that way,” Mabry said. “Now, we’re so frantic. I think we’re frantic because we feel it’s this larger population.”

It’s a daunting task, but experts say there is hope.

“Kids will catch up eventually,” said Clearfield from Whitman College. But to get there, society may need to re-evaluate expectations, she added. “If most children in our community are behind by, like, a year or two, then our expectations for what is typical, it’s going to have to match where they are,” Clearfield said. “Otherwise, we are going to be constantly frustrated … we’re going to have expectations that don’t match their skills or abilities.”

By mid-autumn, Miller was heartened by what she was seeing in her classroom. Students were becoming more confident and independent. Their writing was stronger. There were fewer conflicts.

One morning, Miller stood by her desk as students effortlessly transitioned from one activity to the next during center time. They quietly buzzed around, cleaning up activities and putting their notebooks away in cubbies as she prepared to work with a new group of students at her desk.

“It kind of gives me hope that we’ll be OK,” she said. “Even after last year, we’ll be OK.”

45 Things Your Child Should Know Before Entering First Grade

The transition from kindergarten to first grade is a big step for any child. Your child will now be a part of a “big school,” meaning they are surrounded by more students, can eat in a cafeteria, and play outside during recess. They will also adjust to a longer school day, receive more homework, and learn to get around without much help. These changes in routine will cause your child to start feeling independent.

Your child has applied what they have learned in preschool to kindergarten and has now gathered more information in kindergarten to apply in first grade. It is important that children have learned certain facts and information in kindergarten so they can apply those skills next year to help them grow. By the end of kindergarten, their knowledge of reading, writing, numbers, and problem-solving have grown, along with being introduced to other subjects like social studies and science.

Here is an example checklist of what your child needs to know before starting first grade.

Reading and Reading Comprehension Skills

1. Recognize upper and lower case letters
2. Know, identify, and increase sight word vocabulary (sight words are words that often are spelled differently than how they sound and children must recognize them by sight. Common sight words are: “their”, “if”, “of”, “each”)
3. Know the alphabet and basic features of letters and words
4. Memorize and correctly spell around 130-150 words
5. Decoding or sounding new words out (being able to use letter sounds and patterns to recognize and pronounce written words)
6. Rhyming more words (ex: frog and clog)
7. Tell the difference between facts and fiction 
8. Recall the sequence of events in a story (first, second, third, ending, etc.) 

Writing Skills

9. Write upper and lower case letters
10. Write their name
11. Use letters and shapes to detect different objects
12. Create simple words and sentences
13. Write in complete sentences

Fine Motor Skills

15. Hold a pencil, crayon, or marker correctly 
16. Hold scissors correctly

Mathematic Skills

17. Recognize that addition means putting two groups of numbers together (5+4) and that subtraction means taking away from one group (5-4) 
18. Add and subtract numbers 1 through 10
19. Use objects to show how to break up numbers less than or equal to 10 in different ways (ex: 6 apples = two groups of 3 apples, or 6 apples = a group of 4 apples and a group of 2 apples. )
20. Use objects or draw pictures to help show addition and subtraction
21. Count simple money
22. Know numbers from 1-30
23. Recognize different patterns (ex: blue square, red square, blue square; should know what comes next)
24. Recognize more shapes and master previous knowledge of shapes (square, circle, sphere, star, rhombus)
25. Know the tools to measure time and temperature

Social Studies Skills

Social Studies is a subject that is gradually introduced to children in kindergarten. They will learn about past history and events that took place in America. Your child should be able to:

27. Understand what history is and know some stories, events, and people in history
28. Know important people in United States history (George Washington)
29. Understand broad categories of time (past, present, and future)
30. Know basic cultures and their traditions 
31. Know people and events honored in commemorative holidays
32. Recognize American symbols (the flag, the eagle, the Statue of Liberty)
33. Understand that there are other instruments used to locate places (maps, globes)

Science Skills

Science is another subject that is introduced to children in kindergarten. Science teaches about the universe and the natural world through experiments. There are many different areas of science that are introduced upon grade level. Your child should be able to:

34. Do easy, hands-on experiments
35. Know the four seasons and their different climates
36. Know the importance of the sun and what it provides the Earth with
37. Know the difference between living and non-living things (a plant vs. a teddy bear)
38. Recognize how we impact the Earth in terms of recycling and pollution 

 Social Skills and Abilities 

39. Participate in group activities
40. Share and communicate appropriately with other students
41. Respect their peers
42. Raise their hand before being called on
43. Seek help with assignments when needed
44. Show eagerness and willingness to learn
45. Sit for a longer period of time than in kindergarten (15-20 minutes.

com/strategist/_components/clay-paragraph/instances/cjztyfsfa00gzajy6dnzc6kpn@published” data-word-count=”95″>In first grade, most children are starting to learn to read on their own. But because their abilities and interest in reading at this age can vary like crazy, Leigh Fox, a children’s librarian with the Brooklyn Public Library, “highly encourages” parents and caregivers to continue to read aloud to their first-graders, even as they learn to flip through pages themselves. When reading aloud, Fox suggests incorporating a “variety of stories and formats,” including longer chapter books, nonfiction, graphic novels, and picture books, “to best excite them about reading and make it a positive experience.”

When it comes to books the 6- and 7-year-olds in your life read on their own, Carly Lemire, head of youth services at Blackstone Library in Branford, Connecticut, recommends using the “five-finger test,” rather than grade level, to more accurately choose titles that help instill confidence in young readers. Conducting the five-finger test is simple, she explains: “Open a book to any page and have your child read that page. If there are five or more words that they have difficulty with, then that book is a little too hard for them,” in which case you should either pick something a little easier or read it aloud to them until they are ready to read it themselves.

In terms of subject matter, our experts generally agreed that the best books for any first-grader are the ones they love the most — no matter how silly the story may seem. “Any book that a kid likes to read is one that is going to help make them a lifelong reader,” explains Maggie Levine, a children’s librarian with the Boston Public Library. And no matter how well-stocked their school library might be, it’s never too soon to expand their horizons even further by choosing books that depict children of many different ethnicities and cultures, says Kazz Alexander Pinkard, executive director of Hit the Books, an after-school nonprofit in Harlem. “I think that that level of exposure is really important,” he says.

To help narrow the field, however, we talked to Fox, Lemire, Levine, Pinkard, and five other librarians and educators about their favorite books for kids in first grade. Read on for their picks, which include books to read together, easy-reader books, early chapter books, and even some of the most popular titles as determined by actual 6- and 7-year-olds.

Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! by Mo Willems

$17 now 41% off

$10

Four of the people we talked to — Lemire; Faith Ward, a middle-school librarian at Baltimore’s Gilman School; Rouhama Garelick, the director of Walder Education; and Emily Levitt, VP of education at Sylvan Learning — specifically recommend Willems’s picture book about a grumpy pigeon as one to read aloud to a first-grader. Levitt loves how the pigeon’s behavior mirrors that of many kids at this age, and how the bus-driver character breaks the fourth wall to involve the reader. “I love it for this age because the concept is zany and the story is hilarious. Both parent and child will relate to Pigeon’s pleas to drive the bus. It has all the necessary ingredients for a winning first grade children’s book.” Although only half of our experts chose this specific title, nearly all of them recommended reading something written by Mo Willems aloud, raising this to the top of our read-aloud list. Lindsy Serrano, a librarian at St. Francis School in Kentucky, credits Willems’s use of catchy graphics paired with minimal text in different sizes “to display different emotional levels.”

Ada Twist, Scientist by Andrea Beaty

$19 now 37% off

$12

Andrea Beaty’s picture book about a burgeoning scientist is the third in her series of best-selling STEM-themed children’s books and, like the Willems title above, also came recommended by four of our experts as a wonderful read-aloud book for any first-grader. “Ada questions everything and experiments constantly,” says Levitt, who told us she appreciates the book’s “up-close view of the scientific method and excellent representation of children of color engaged in STEM.” Lemire; Brooklyn Public Library librarian Yesha Naik; and Mollie Welsh Kruger, a professor at the Bank Street College of Education who teaches a course in children’s literature, all suggested Ada Twist as well. If that’s not enough to convince you, Netflix recently released an animated series inspired by Ada Twist, making the character a celebrity in many kids’ eyes.

Julián Is a Mermaid by Jessica Love

$17 now 41% off

$10

Also recommended by four of our experts — Naik, Ward, Lemire, and Serrano — is this story about a boy who loves mermaids. Naik loves the book’s “fluid, colorful illustrations,” and Serrano says she uses it during story time because of the way it “defies male expectations and stereotypes.”

Dog Man: The Supa Epic Collection: From the Creator of Captain Underpants (Dog Man #1-6 Box Set)

$78 now 51% off

$38

For 6- and 7-year-olds who are fascinated by anything for older kids, the Dog Man series by Pilkey — the author of the wildly popular Captain Underpants franchise — is a great set of books to grow into, according to Lemire, Serrano, Fox, and Lisa Goldstein, another librarian with the Brooklyn Public Library. They all say first-graders love Dog Man because of its big-kid feel and subversive humor. Even though these books are probably a bit too hard for most first-graders to read on their own, graphic novels like these are really popular at this age, according to Serrano, and are generally a fun way to excite young readers. Goldstein agrees, calling the Dog Man books “an exciting boundary-pusher for younger kids.”

The Book with No Pictures by B.J. Novak

$18 now 44% off

$10

Another book first-graders find hilarious is The Book With No Pictures, which was written by The Office star turned kids’ author B. J. Novak and came recommended by Levitt and Serrano. Devoid of illustrations and designed to be read aloud or in groups, this book is popular because it’s full of onomatopoeia and alliteration, forcing the person reading it to say silly things. Levitt likes that it teaches vocabulary while encouraging children to use their imaginations. Serrano says that when she reads it at story time, “kids are rolling on the floor laughing.”

We Don’t Eat Our Classmates by Ryan T. Higgins

$18 now 44% off

$10

This book, by award-winning author-illustrator Ryan T. Higgins, came recommended by Welsh Kruger and Lemire. We Don’t Eat Our Classmates is also one of the four 2019 winners of the Irma Black Award, an honor determined by an annual vote cast by first- and second-grade children from around the world. Welsh Kruger says that in the past few years, humorous books like this and Novak’s have had “a bit of a winning streak, because kids at that age particularly like humor.”

com/strategist/_components/clay-paragraph/instances/ckwwjcsl700933g6il7bw73cf@published” data-word-count=”86″>For first-grade readers, Pinkard always recommends The Day the Crayons Quit and its sequel The Day the Crayons Came Home because they have wonderful, diverse characters that reflect different personalities. “I love the idea of the crayons and the rainbow reflecting the differences between people and attitudes and roles in society,” he says. In addition, the text switches between multiple fonts, which has real-world applications: The more often kids see the same words written in cursive and print, the better they’ll become at reading with fluency.

Gaston by Kelly DiPucchio

$19 now 42% off

$11

Levine told us that she loves the illustrator Christian Robinson, and that this picture book and DiPucchio’s sequel entitled Antoinette — both of which feature Robinson’s artwork — are her favorite books to give as gifts. Serrano also recommends Gaston, which tells the story of a French bulldog and a poodle switched at birth, because it has sparked interesting conversations among her kindergarteners about what makes a family.

Walter Does His Best: A Frenchie Adventure in Kindness and Muddy Paws

$18 now 22% off

$14

Pinkard is a huge fan of Walter, a book about a mischievous dog who runs amuck in New York City. “I love all books about New York City, and I think Walter is a perfect book for students to learn vocabulary, but also to learn about the city sounds and how to describe them,” he says. These city onomatopoeia like “screech, honk, and splash” are fun to read aloud and help children sound things out. According to Pinkard, remote schooling during the pandemic has created gaps in early reading development for things like phonemic awareness among kindergarteners and first-graders. One way to help kids catch up is by focusing on books like Walter that depict elements of life they can relate to, while helping them with the phonics and word recognition necessary for them to move forward.

Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak

$9 now 44% off

$5

Both Ward and Lemire recommend Maurice Sendak’s classic title as one you should still make space for on your kid’s bookshelf. Ward likes that it shows how children and parents sometimes disagree and how, using his imagination, protagonist Max finds a way to escape when angry. But, in the end, when that anger has passed, he just wants to be back home.

‘Hair Love,’ by Matthew A. Cherry

“I see many of our young boys and girls running to books like Hair Love because they feel like it depicts them,” says Pinkard. The book, which was made into an Oscar-winning movie, tells the story of a Black father who has to learn how to give his daughter an extra-special hairstyle for a big day. “One of our students, who is in second grade this year, literally jumped up when she saw this book and said, ‘I love this book, it’s about me and my dad.’”

The vibrantly illustrated book by Olympic medalist and social-justice activist Ibtihaj Muhammad follows two sisters on their first day of school — and one’s first day of hijab.

“Frog and Toad Are Friends” by Arnold Lobel

$5

Fox, Lemire, Levine, and Welsh Kruger all recommend Frog and Toad Are Friends for children starting to read alone. Welsh Kruger told us that this book, and the whole Frog and Toad series, were part of a study that she and a colleague conducted on the best books for early readers. “We were trying to see what makes early readers worthwhile; in the end, this book seems to have hit the nail on the head.” Levine calls the Frog and Toad series an “absolute classic” and says that she loves how the gentle adventures play out across several short stories, which helps encourage beginner readers who might feel overwhelmed by longer chapter books.

We Are in a Book! (An Elephant and Piggie Book) by Mo Willems

$10

Another early-reader series that stars a memorable duo is Mo Willems’s Elephant and Piggie books. Fox, Lemire, Serrano, and Levine told us that these books, which have no more than ten words per page, are easy and incredibly popular titles for new readers. Lemire says she can’t keep them on the shelves, and Fox says kids love the “fun-filled antics between the beloved Gerald and Piggie.” Serrano specifically recommended this book from the series because it’s designed to introduce all kinds of good reading habits to kids, including predicting outcomes and the concept of reading a book more than once — therefore encouraging reading for pleasure. Like Frog and Toad, these familiar, funny characters and their recurring adventures make learning new words less scary to first-graders, according to our experts.

Super Fly Guy

$3

According to Jacob Cohen, a teacher in Brooklyn, the Fly Guy book series is crazy popular among first-graders (and some second-graders too) these days. “They’re very competitive about collecting the whole set,” he says. This easy reader series is full of funny drawings and slapstick scenarios, and it’s perfect for independent reading time.

Actual Size by Steve Jenkins

$8

Levine, Welsh Kruger, Fox, and Lemire recommended this title by Steve Jenkins, an author they say is known for his nonfiction children’s books. Fox says Actual Size is the perfect mix of attention-grabbing story and STEM concepts “such as size comparison and animal behavior.” Levine adds that “Jenkins’s books make animals and bodies accessible to kids.” Welsh Kruger recommends this book for animal lovers in particular because of its “beautiful, ripped-paper collage” illustrations.

The book is reversible, so from one side you can explore double-page spreads about submarines and deep-sea life. Turn it around, and you’ll get pages upon pages about volcanoes, burrowing animals, and man-made tunnels.

32 Best Book Series for 1st Graders

First grade is a HUGE year of growth academically….especially with regards to reading. You may see a child start the year in easy readers but move to read beginning chapter books by the end of the year.

One way to increase time reading is for kids to LOVE the books that they’re reading. And a good book series will hit the spot. Because if they like the first book, it’s generally true that they’ll like all the books in the series.

Of course, every child is progressing differently, at their own pace.

Below, I’ve listed the best book series for 1st graders in order of difficulty from easiest to more challenging.

First-grader – a new stage in the life of your child and your family.

Adaptation to school

The first year of schooling is not only one of the most difficult stages in a child’s life, but also a kind of trial period for parents.

There is still time to properly prepare for school, to make learning a joy. It doesn’t matter if it’s only a few months or a year away. It is important now to find “weak points” in your child and make them “strong”. Psychologists of the “Semeynaya” clinic will help you with this.

The beginning of schooling falls on the crisis of 7 years.

Sometimes this age is called the period of “change of milk teeth”, “stretching of growth”. Parents note that the child does not become naughty, rather, he becomes incomprehensible and all this coincides with the beginning of schooling.

The child loses his naivety, spontaneity, innocence, and his behavior, by contrast, seems unnatural to those who knew him before. To some extent this is true. Having lost some forms of behavior, the child has not yet mastered new ones. A previously carefree kid has unusual duties, at school he is not free to manage his time, he must obey the rules of discipline, which do not always seem reasonable to him. Why is it necessary to sit still for the whole lesson? Why can’t you make noise, shout, run? After the dynamic, emotional games of a preschooler, a new life seems tedious and not always interesting. School discipline requires a lot of stress, it is difficult for a first-grader to control his feelings and desires.

The nature of activities is also changing dramatically.

Previously, most of the time was children’s games, excited and captured the very process of the game. In studies, the result and its assessment are increasingly coming to the fore. Therefore, a crisis arises in the value orientations of the child, followed by the first surprises and disappointments. And not only for children, but for parents too.

A very common question that is asked by parents of future first-graders at a psychologist’s appointment: how to ensure that the child’s adaptation at school is painless and fast? This issue is very significant, since it is adaptability to school conditions that is the main factor influencing the success of mastering knowledge among first-graders.

The most important thing is not to blindly hope that the child’s adaptation at school will successfully pass by itself.

This process can and should be helped. No matter how trite it may sound, parental love, affection, care will help. The child needs them more than ever. Parents should be sincerely interested in school life so that the child has a positive attitude towards school.

The child needs a sense of his own success. Therefore, at first, encouragement is especially important for a child.

Encouragement should be specific: we do not praise the child by himself, but some feature of his behavior, the result of his activity. It also happens that sometimes you don’t know what to praise a child for. In this case, you need to find something that he is good at, even if it’s just a hook from the recipes.

School life is not only joyful moments.

Sometimes the child is sad, angry, offended by the school, teacher, classmates. It is important to give him the opportunity to express his negative feelings. The first grader needs our understanding. If we listen carefully, accepting that school can indeed be uninteresting or difficult, we will help the child to free himself from bad thoughts and feelings.

Adaptation to school is a multifaceted process. Its components are physiological adaptation and socio-psychological (to teachers and their requirements, to classmates). There are many special programs aimed at helping to adapt to schooling, correction and development of mental functions, tailored to the interests and psychological and age characteristics of your child.

At a psychologist’s consultation you will learn:

• how the self-awareness of a first-grader’s personality changes and a reassessment of values ​​occurs;
• how to use the child’s abilities to solve problems;
• how to properly develop learning motivation;
• how to teach a child to be independent;
• what to do so that possible failures do not lead to the formation of an inferiority complex and do not negatively affect the development of the child’s self-esteem;
• what are the additional incentives for learning;
• and much more that is necessary for successful adaptation at school.

Come for a consultation, because it is the joint efforts of parents and specialists that can reduce the risk of maladjustment and learning difficulties.

Dear parents! Help your child take his first step into a new life, do not leave him alone with his feelings and problems. Let the 1st grade be the most joyful, brightest and most memorable period in your life for you and your child!

Making an appointment with a child psychologist

Be sure to consult a qualified specialist in the field of child psychology at the Semeynaya clinic.

When should I send my child to school – at six or seven years old?

It is not so much the age that is important, but the emotional and social readiness of the baby to change the usual way of life. He will have to find himself in completely new conditions, and this is a serious test for the psyche, stress. But the child adapts easier and faster if:

• independent;
• responsible;
• organized;
• assiduous;
• attentive;
• polite.

The child must be able to recognize the authority of adults, build a dialogue with the teacher and find contact with peers. Therefore, it is so important to attend a kindergarten, circles or development centers, because only in a team the communication skill is improved. But besides this, the child must be sufficiently developed intellectually.

If you see that your baby is socialized to the required extent and can do a lot, you can send him to school up to seven years. If it seems to you that he is not ready yet, it is better to wait so that the new conditions do not become too difficult a test for the child.

If we are dealing with a typical school curriculum, it is better to send a child to school at the age of seven. The fact that a child has already mastered writing, reading and counting does not mean that he is ready for schooling. In addition to these school skills, the so-called regulatory systems of the psyche are important, which reach maturity by the age of seven or eight. For example, the ability to collect a portfolio, “hear” the teacher, focus on the lesson, plan one’s own activity in preparation for school, and, most importantly, be motivated to gain knowledge. It is worth considering the psycho-physiological maturity, for example, the ability of the hand to the load associated with writing.

What should a future first grader know and be able to do?

By the age of 6–7, the child should already:

• Remember his first and last name, birthday, age, know the names of mom and dad, their professions, address and other basic information. You also need to know several poems by heart, be able to memorize pictures and guess them.
• Count to at least ten, solve simple problems and riddles, recognize geometric shapes.
• Identify common features of objects and their differences, be able to work with scissors and a ruler, draw clear lines and paint without going beyond the outline.
• Be able to distinguish letters from sounds, vowels from consonants, find them in different parts of a word, select words for any letter and divide them into syllables.
• Read short sentences and understand their meaning, memorize and retell short stories, and independently compose stories from pictures and express opinions on a given topic.
• Possess a coherent, phonetically and grammatically correct speech, select and pronounce words, highlight sounds, correctly build sentences, express one’s thoughts clearly and clearly.

Should a preschool child be able to read, write and count?

Theoretically, no, because elementary school was created specifically to teach children these basic skills. But actually, yes. Previously, it was really possible to send a child to the first grade with a zero level of knowledge. However, modern realities dictate other rules.

Today, many parents begin to develop their babies in all directions almost from the cradle. As a result, some children in the first grade already write, count and read fluently, sometimes even in English. Without a certain knowledge base, your child may feel uncomfortable around them.

The pace of learning has also accelerated greatly in recent years. It will be difficult for an unprepared first-grader to keep up with him.

How is school readiness assessed?

On the one hand, there are no official requirements and a list of questions for admission to the school. According to the law, state educational institutions are prohibited from accepting children on a competitive basis. All applicants must be enrolled.

But on the other hand, the readiness of children is still checked at an interview in the graduation group of a kindergarten or directly upon admission to school. The results of such secret testing are important if you are going to send your child to a gymnasium / lyceum or to any educational institution outside the place of residence, especially if places are limited.

The interview also influences which grade the child will be assigned to. Usually they are divided according to the level of development of children into strong and weak. In the first, the requirements are higher, but the children are also more motivated. Academic success depends on this, and for many parents it is important that the child finds himself in a strong environment. The law is not written for private schools at all: they may have their own, rather high requirements for the skills of incoming children. If you want to send your child to an “advanced” educational institution, you need to prepare very seriously.

Start by reducing the value of all introductory activities for yourself, as an adult. The child “reads” all our signals, including our body language, he feels our tension and anxiety. If you simplify the value of what is happening for yourself, then it will not be so disturbing for the child. In no case should you say: “It is very important that you answer well”, “If you do not answer, you will not be taken to school”, “Everything now depends on you”, etc. Such formulations can cause severe anxiety, up to panic, when the child cannot “squeeze out” anything at all.

Here are some more recommendations:

• Be sure to “play out” the interview situation with your child, in a light, relaxed, comic way.
• Let the child be sure to be the one who is interviewing. Make it clear that it’s okay to make a mistake.
• Also, make mistakes yourself while acting out scenes, demonstrate a positive behavioral strategy when the child points out a mistake to you: “Thank you, now I will remember it for sure.”
• Run with your child on suggested questions while walking or playing together, in between times.
• Don’t memorize the answers, just periodically return to the questions that cause difficulty.
• These simple tips will help your child remember information better and reproduce it when needed.

Regardless of the result of the interview, praise the child, encourage him to play, go to the park, take a walk together. The message is: “You are so good for going there! Super! Let’s have some fun together now.”

How to improve a child’s knowledge before school?

Most parents do not have enough time and opportunities to deal with their daughter or son in person. Or children do not perceive mom / dad as a teacher, fool around, do not listen. The most common way out in this case is additional classes to prepare for school. As a rule, courses are paid, they last up to six months and include different disciplines. This is convenient if the budget allows and the child needs comprehensive development. If you want all the attention of the teacher to be paid only to your baby, choose individual lessons with the teacher, however, this pleasure will be more expensive than collective learning.

Another option is online classes with the help of educational services. For example, there are programs with which a child will learn to solve non-standard logical problems, train memory and ingenuity. Even if parents themselves have to sit next to their child, the learning process will be much more fun and easier. And certainly without irritation and tears. You can start such preparation in advance or quickly improve your knowledge before the first of September.

What is the best way to consolidate acquired skills?

Everything a child learns should be backed up with practice. And not in some specially created, artificial conditions, but in everyday actions, in everyday life. Counting – while going to the store, memory – while cleaning, charging or mastering new walking routes, speech – during conversations, games and reading books. In other words, bring them to life. Observe if the child is able to compare, generalize, build cause-and-effect relationships not only in a smartphone or computer, but also in actions with real objects and situations.

And for first-graders and other younger students, we recommend the NETARIF Junior subscription.

First grader in the learning space or how to help a first grader adapt to school

a first-grader to school, he finds himself in completely different conditions of life than those that he had before. As a rule, this time is filled with vivid experiences of all family members, these are anxieties, hopes, and anticipation of something new.

A child’s transition to school begins a qualitatively new stage in a child’s life. Much changes in the life of a first grader, his attitude towards peers, adults, himself and his activities.

Experts define the process of adaptation as the child’s getting used to new living conditions, i.e. the first-grader must “get used to the role of the student.” School education poses a number of rather difficult tasks for a child, he must, first of all, master educational skills and abilities, accept the rules and norms of behavior at school, become part of a peer group, adapt to a new regime and unusual conditions for obtaining knowledge. In the life of a child, this period is very significant, it is difficult to overestimate it, because the success of further educational activities, comfortable well-being at school and his relationships with surrounding adults and peers will largely depend on how the entry into a new life situation goes.

Traditionally, the process of habituation is divided into two components: physical and psychological adaptation.

The child’s body reacts to changing conditions of life by mobilizing all its forces, often children spend most of the body’s resources, weakening it. This is what doctors explain the fact that at the beginning of training, first-graders often get sick.

The most pressing problem of children’s adaptation to learning at school has become with the introduction of new education standards. In the new educational standards, the health of students was for the first time defined as one of the most important results of education, and the preservation and strengthening of their health as a priority for the educational institution.

As practice shows, many parents often underestimate the complexity of the period of physiological adaptation of first-graders. Meanwhile, according to doctors, it is the physical ill-being that manifests itself most often. So, some children at the beginning of training have a significant decrease in body weight, some of the first graders are diagnosed with vegetovascular dystonia (a sign of fatigue or overwork of the body) for the first time. At this time, some children often complain of malaise: drowsiness, fatigue, headaches, abdominal pain, and others. In behavior, the inability to control their behavior and emotional state can become markers of the difficulties of adaptation and overwork of the organism of children. As a result, first-graders may show tearfulness, hysteria, excessive activity, or vice versa, apathy towards what is happening, sleep disturbance. Especially in the first months of training, parents need to carefully monitor the emotional and physical state of the child, and at the first signs of fatigue or overwork, adjust the extracurricular workload, monitor compliance with the child’s sleep and rest schedule.

The process of adaptation of the individual to interaction with a new team refers to socio-psychological adaptation, the success of which is no less important than the physiological adaptation of the organism to new conditions of existence. When a child enters school, a completely new social role appears, which was not previously in his life, he becomes a student. Related to this is the reassessment of values ​​that occurs at this moment in a child’s life, what used to be of decisive importance for him becomes secondary, and what is related to school acquires special significance.

The teacher plays a leading role in the social and psychological adaptation of first-graders. The main goal of the teacher at this moment is to create a psychologically safe space, with a friendly atmosphere of communication and interaction in the classroom, where each student can express his point of view, clarify what is incomprehensible to himself. It is also important to teach children to hear and accept the opinion of classmates, to adequately evaluate the results of their activities. The creation of a psychologically safe space helps to relieve anxiety and tension among students, which are observed in most first-graders in the first year of schooling.

Parents can also help their child to get through the stage of adaptation to school life. The main help of parents consists, first of all, in the support necessary for the child, working out the rules of behavior in the classroom, organizing the surrounding space, where, with the unobtrusive control of an adult, maximum independence of actions is possible. An adult can help the child with the organization of the daily routine, arranging the workplace, a place to play, preparing clothes, a portfolio for tomorrow, doing homework, it is important to do this with the child, but not instead of him.

The sincere interest of parents in the child’s educational affairs, support in the desire to become successful, a serious attitude to the first achievements and possible difficulties, all this helps the first grader to make sure that his new activity is really important and significant not only for him, but also for others and requires the most serious attitude towards her.

Getting to know and discussing with the child the rules and norms by which he will live in the coming years will help to quickly adapt to the school routine. And explaining the need to fulfill them and the possible consequences of failure to do so will help build relationships with teachers and peers.

A student who has just started learning will not be hindered by the understanding that everyone has the right to make mistakes, he must know that not everything always works out the first time, then when faced with the first difficulties, he will not lose interest in learning and self-confidence .

It is very important for adults who are close to a first-grader to be attentive to the difficulties that arise in the process of mastering learning skills, especially if they are repeated and difficult to overcome. It is they who can be a signal that the child is not in good health, or the necessary processes and functions are not sufficiently developed. The child cannot cope with such difficulties on his own, and he will need the help of adults (parents, teachers, doctors). For example, if a first-grader has problems of a speech therapy nature, it is necessary to cope with them before school or in the first year of study, so that in the future the child will not be among the underachieving students because of them.

It is extremely important for parents to be attentive and notice the smallest changes that occur to the child during the first year of education. If suddenly, something begins to cause concern in a child’s life, it is advisable to seek the advice of a specialist, this will help to identify and eliminate in time many difficulties that hinder successful learning.

At school, a new adult appears in a child’s life, more significant for him than his parents – this is a teacher. It is very important for parents, for the peace and psychological comfort of the child, to maintain the authority of the teacher, the significance of his opinion in his eyes, and not compete with the teacher. Like no one else, first-graders need adult support in their desire to succeed. Even if not everything turns out as well as you would like, in each work you must definitely find something for which you could praise him. Deserved praise and support not only contributes to the interest and motivation for learning, but also strengthens the child’s self-confidence. After all, it is known that in order for a harmonious and self-confident person to grow out of a child, it is necessary to praise him. It is important to remain a loving parent for your child, to support, not to criticize beyond measure for mistakes and marks. From constant reproaches and remarks, a child can lose not only interest in learning, but also faith in himself and his strength.

It can be argued that the process of adaptation to learning at school was successful if the first grader developed behavior adequate to the situation, established the desired contacts with the surrounding children and adults, and also formed the skills necessary for successful learning.

what a future first-grader should know and be able to

First grade is an exciting time not only for a new student, but also for his parents. Everyone wants to see their child happy and successful. But the prospect that the baby will be hard at school is scary. To help the child get used to school, parents try to teach him everything in advance. In fact, it is not necessary to know everything in the world even before entering school.

Irina Stepanova, head of the educational and methodological department of the school “Ponyatno. Ru” tells about what a future first-grader should be able to do and how to prepare him for school.

“The child does not owe anything”

In terms of general skills that must be mastered by the time they enter school, pre-school education has its own standard. In it, the skills of the future student are described in very general terms: to be inquisitive, to have an idea about the world around.

Comment by the head of the educational and methodological department of the school:

The first thing parents need to understand is that the child does not owe anything. Especially school. If we are talking about preparation, then it would be good if the child had elementary ideas about the basic disciplines. But even if he goes to first grade without them, it’s not scary: he will learn everything there. This is what a school is for.

“Schools do not have the right to make any demands on children”

By law, schools cannot conduct tests in the first grade. Any child between the ages of 6.5 and 8 can go to first grade. But some schools still conduct introductory tests. Basically, these are lyceums and gymnasiums, which initially seek to recruit only strong and prepared students into classes. But this position of the school is a wake-up call for parents. Educational institutions in pursuit of high ratings sometimes require too much from children, and not everyone is able to withstand the growing pressure. The comfort and psychological peace of the child is more important than ratings and grades, so it may be worth paying attention to other schools.

Most schools do not impose special requirements, checking only the general level of preparation and development of the child. Typically, such tests are conducted in the format of a conversation with a future teacher and consist of simple questions and tasks. The task of such an “interview” is to get to know the child, to create an idea about the future student.

“The main factor in school readiness is that the child wants to go there”

How can parents understand that their child is already ready for school?

1. He wants to learn and is ready to take on the role of a student. In the absence of such motivation, everything else does not matter.
2. He is ready physically. He has to sit for 40 minutes in class. If he is not able to sit quietly in one position for so long, then he will not be able to concentrate on the teacher’s story or complete the assignment.
3. He is ready socially – he knows how to interact with an outside adult, with peers. It is difficult to imagine life at school if the child does not have these skills.

“If the child does not want to, it is better to leave him alone”

A simple question: who will be more successful – a child who easily works with numbers up to 10 or who counts up to 1000? At first glance, it seems that the second. But this is not necessarily the case.

In counting skills, it is important not to be able to name numbers, but to understand the composition of these numbers, basic ideas about how they are obtained, what they consist of, what they mean. If a child is well versed in the composition of the number, he will grasp more general things faster than someone who simply knows how to list numbers.

The same goes for reading. It is good if the child knows and understands letters, knows how to read them. But this training should be as gentle and environmentally friendly as possible. If the kid himself is interested and pleased to learn to read and this process is not accompanied by tears and grief, then this skill will help at school. He will become independent faster, be able to read and complete tasks and move through the program at an accelerated pace.

But if reading is accompanied by scandals, seating the child and memorizing letters, there is a risk of developing an aversion to the process itself. In the future, this may result in a dislike for reading and a rejection of literature in general. Therefore, if a preschooler does not want to learn to read before the first grade, it is better to leave him alone and give him time to grow up. He will easily acquire this skill in school.

“Such skills are formed by themselves in the process of preschool growth”

The skill of social interaction is much more important for the future student. The ability to ask for help from an adult, to behave correctly in the classroom and in a team, to be polite and independent.

Comment by the head of the educational and methodological department of the school:

As a rule, by the age of 7 in children who attend kindergarten, these skills are formed naturally. They are constantly in conditions where it is necessary to communicate with adults, find a common language with peers, dress independently, put toys in their place.

If a child does not go to kindergarten, but spends all his time with his mother and grandmother, he needs to expand social ties. And, of course, it all depends on the parents. You can go to circles, get to know other children on the playground, initiate communication with adults who come to visit, communicate with children of friends.

“It is difficult to build a system on your own”

If a child still wants and is ready to start studying even before going to first grade, then there are no prohibitions here. In kindergarten, a year before school, educators are already beginning to introduce children to the basics of counting and reading.

Toddlers who do not go to kindergarten are told about it by their parents themselves. But building a learning system on your own is quite difficult. And if you teach it wrong, then it will be more difficult to retrain later. Therefore, it is better to choose a ready-made product. For example, you can enroll your child in preparatory classes or study online. Moreover, online classes can take place not only in real time with a teacher – parents can study with the child themselves, using, for example, video lessons and ready-made materials.

Parents decide which option to choose. You can try to take one trial lesson in each format and see how the child likes to study more and in which case he perceives information better.

“Parents should be ready for school”

A parent’s readiness for school is no less important than a child’s readiness. Unfortunately, not everyone had a successful school life experience. And if a parent is afraid of school, then the child also feels and adopts it.

To prevent this from happening, adults will also have to work on their feelings. First of all, we need to look inside ourselves, to understand what we expect from the school.

Comment by the head of the educational and methodological department of the school:

Do not give sky-high promises, in the spirit of “it is very interesting at school, you will find a lot of friends there” – after all, everything can turn out quite differently, and the child will face deceived hopes. But don’t scare me with special difficulties – discuss everything at a normal, adult level.

It is better to formulate the following position: “We all have to go through a new stage together. It’s very exciting. It’s normal that you and I are worried and waiting for this.” It’s good when the family remembers interesting stories from school time.

In general, it is necessary to form a positive image of the school, but not to do it too demonstratively and untruthfully. We all know that school is difficult, and it’s not always fun gatherings with friends.

Checklist: Self-test questions

Even before going to school, a child develops a certain array of knowledge about the world around him. Having this knowledge can greatly simplify the life of a child in elementary school. We have prepared a checklist with basic questions for self-examination.

Me and my family

***

School is the beginning of a new stage in the life of not only a child, but of his entire family. The attitude of the child to school and to the learning process as a whole is formed at the very beginning. The task of parents is to create comfortable conditions for the baby that will preserve the desire to learn and learn new things. You can prepare for school in a convenient format in the online school Clearly.ru: study with teachers or watch an interactive video course with charismatic presenters and colorful illustrations.

What to do if a first-grader does not want to study

The whole truth about how to choose a backpack for a first-grader.

1. Articles
2. What to do if a first grader does not want to study

Every child has a moment when it’s time to go to school. First grade is a small step into adulthood. Many parents are faced with the fact that the child likes to go to school only for the first or second month, and then he does not want to do homework without a third-party “kick”, he is not interested. This behavior needs to be dealt with.

Why a first grader does not want to study and how to deal with it

It is customary for us to force a child to study, but this is fundamentally wrong. Children usually enjoy this process. They love to learn new things, to be curious. Therefore, in the reluctance to learn, there are deeper reasons than a simple “I don’t want to”. These include:

1. Backlog in the school curriculum. From the first days of study, not all children fully appreciate the seriousness of the school curriculum. They have already got it in their heads that there is no need to strain in the kindergarten, therefore, on a moral level, they are not ready to absorb knowledge in large quantities. In this case, parents must definitely do homework with their children. In addition, the first grader must have the correct daily routine:
   • rest after school up to 2 hours;
   • start doing homework from interesting subjects to difficult ones, and leave the easiest one for last;
   • go out into the fresh air in the evening;
   • go to bed before 21;
   • if the amount of homework is large, then take breaks;
   • Avoid watching TV or playing computer games before bed.

   Don’t do homework for your child. Parents only need to direct his thoughts in the right direction. In no case should a child be reproached for poor progress, compared with others, scolded for mistakes, he must know that he has the right to them. Praise is welcome on any worthwhile occasion.

2. Not interested in studying. It happens that a first-grader understands everything, each lesson is given to him easily, but there is no interest. This is mainly due to the fact that there is no motivation. The usual parental phrases “if you don’t study, you will work as a cleaner” do not affect the minds of children in any way. For them, the future profession, the prospect of entering the institute, the opportunity to earn money is not yet an argument. The first grader wants to play and relax with his friends. Therefore, a game form can increase interest in learning. For example, a game in which a child tries to independently conduct a lesson, explain the material and put marks is popular. If the kid still already has some wishes for a future profession, then parents can try to convey to him that only after completing all the lessons, he will be able to fulfill his dream. Sometimes it works. Do not forget that all children are different and sometimes the same approach may not work.
3. Relationship problems with classmates or teacher. Unfortunately, this factor is quite common and requires parental intervention. To help your child make friends, you need to take him to any sections that classmates attend, make friends with other parents and go for walks with them and their children. If there are problems in the relationship with the teacher, then the matter is more likely in his unprofessionalism. Many teachers are prone to indifference to children, and sometimes some aggression. If so, then you probably need to change the class. A dispositional teacher is able to get along with children and motivate them to study.
4. Complexes of a personal nature. Most often this applies to children who have features in appearance. Grade 1 is still an unconscious age, so someone can scoff. In such an environment, the first grader definitely does not want to study. To begin with, you can try to solve the problem within the class, ask the teacher to conduct a lesson on this topic. Do not be shy to contact a school psychologist, because he will be able to find the right words for children.

Each of these points must be worked out when the child is still small, so that it is not too late.

Tips to help increase a first grader’s desire to learn

In order for a first grader to study well and want it himself, you should consider the following tips:

• In order to study responsibly, parents should not be allowed to be constantly over him while solving homework. So the baby will be addicted, and when mom or dad needs to be distracted, he will do the same, losing concentration. This leads to the fact that the lessons have to be redone from time to time. It is more correct to give hints, guide and explain incomprehensible material, and then come and check.
• Don’t throw out all your ambitions on a child. It often happens that in the pursuit of more knowledge, parents overload it. Not everyone is able to pull it, therefore, as a result, the first grader loses interest. It is worth looking at the situation objectively, if the child is not very busy, but still does not show interest in learning, you should additionally hire a tutor. However, it is worth remembering that at this age the child wants to spend part of the time playing games and with friends, this is important to observe.
• A common story when a child does not get 1 or 2 out of all subjects. Basically, this happens because of a teacher who either gives a lesson incompetently or gives material too quickly, which not all children have time to learn. In this case, you need to try to develop interest on your own. It is better to do it in a playful way, to tell interesting information about the subject. Any questions of interest to the child should be encouraged.

It should be remembered that the first grader especially requires a lot of attention. In order not to aggravate the situation, not to “start” studies, parents constantly need to be interested in academic performance, work together on tasks until the child enters the rhythm.

Here are some tips to help motivate your child to learn:

• do not put pressure on the child, but you should help him, especially where there are gaps;
• curiosity is always worth encouraging;
• be sure to be interested in how the relationship with the teacher and classmates is;
• you can not compare the child with others, especially in a negative way;
• the baby must have the opportunity to take a break from lessons and engage in their hobbies.

Compliance with such simple rules will help the child fall in love with learning even in grade 1, which will be the key to success in subsequent years. Parental support plays a very important role in this.

What a future first grader should know when going to school

The whole truth about how to choose a backpack for a first grader.

2. What a future first grader should know when going to school

When there is a year left before school, parents begin to panic, because the first grade is not just a new step in the development of the child, but a new step in his life. Even before the application is submitted, parents begin to get nervous after hearing a variety of stories about what a future first grader should know and be able to do. Some even postpone school for a year in order to better prepare their child.

Exam or introduction

The rules for admitting a child to the first grade are described in the document of the Ministry of Education dated 06/28/2012. To understand what a first grader should be able to and know, it is worth referring to this resolution.

Testing

The Letter of the Ministry of Education clearly states that the admission of children to the first grade is carried out without any entrance examinations, selection procedures. This does not include educational institutions in which children with outstanding abilities study, schools with a sports and artistic bias.

Schools often conduct interviews with prospective students. It asks standard questions to which every future first-grader should know the answers.

Article 16 of the Law of the Russian Federation “On Education” states that the rules for the admission of citizens to educational institutions are determined individually for each school and are regulated by it. Thus, there is no exact list of questions, but there are some standard tasks that children are invited to solve.

Denial of admission to first class

They cannot refuse admission to class 1 if there are free places in it. In case of refusal, parents or other representatives of the child must contact the local authorities in the field of education to resolve the issue of providing a place in another school.

Even if the child could not answer all the questions, he cannot be denied admission to the 1st grade. The maximum that parents and their child will have to face is an interview with a psychologist. This is not required, but recommended.

Knowledge and skills

The future first-grader does not owe anything to anyone. However, before entering the first grade, an objective assessment of the readiness of children for school is carried out. This is not a requirement, but a system that helps to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the child.

There are three levels by which school readiness is assessed.

Physical readiness

For the successful assimilation of knowledge, children must have physical health, be hardy. All parts of the body must be sufficiently developed. Various chronic pathologies, overwork, a weakened immune system, mental or physical retardation can interfere with the assimilation of the school curriculum.

Personality

Every first grader should be prepared to study at school. He must show interest, desire to go to classes, there must be motivation. On the other hand, the ability to communicate with peers, teachers can greatly affect the assimilation of the program.

The development of personal qualities, the desire to learn depends on adults. If parents tried in every possible way to support the child in his curiosity, communicated with him, then this helps to motivate him correctly.

Intellect

During their first few years of life, children accumulate certain skills and abilities. From this, the level of perception, attention, memory is formed. Intellectual development affects fine motor skills, perseverance. An important role is played by the child’s ability to listen, to follow certain rules.

Level of knowledge

As experience shows, before entering the 1st grade, the child must know the answers to simple questions. His level of knowledge must meet the following criteria:

• Knowledge about yourself. A future first-grader should know not only his full name, but also his age, date of birth, address of residence. Moreover, he should name not just the city, but the street, house number, apartment number.
• Family. The future first-grader should know the full name of the parents, their occupation.
• Seasons. Children should know the seasons, their sequence and how they are characterized.
• Animals. The child must understand the difference between domestic and wild animals, know at least five representatives, be able to describe their appearance.
• Birds. The future first grader should know that there are domestic and wild birds, those that fly away in winter to warm countries and winter.
• Plants. Children should be able to distinguish conifers from deciduous plants. They should have formed the concepts of berries, vegetables, fruits
• Geometric knowledge. The child should know the basic geometric shapes.

In addition to knowledge, children must have a certain set of skills that will help from the first days of school.

• Children should be able to freely navigate around, know where is up, down, right and left.
• Knowledge of the native language, the ability to retell. After listening to a fairy tale, the child should be able to retell it. Moreover, he must distinguish between vowels, consonants, be able to divide words into syllables.
• Account. Preschool children should be able to count up to 20 forward and backward.

Preparation for school

When preparing a child for school, it is not necessary to force him to learn the answers to all the questions that can only be asked, but trying to teach him the minimum that he needs to know is worth a try.

The Accenture consultant salary is sure to be at the top of your mind as you’re thinking about applying for a consulting position at the company. Accenture is one of the largest companies in the world, with over $40 billion in annual revenues and half a million global employees. But consulting as an industry has experienced a boom in recent years, meaning Accenture has had to increase salary levels to remain competitive for top talent. Accenture knows that, for example, any given applicant is going to be comparing a Deloitte vs. Accenture salary. In this article, we’ll walk you through the ins and outs of the Accenture consultant salary and how it varies by level, location, job type, and more.

Accenture Consultant Salary Overview

The Accenture MBA salary is much higher, averaging a base of $105,000 per year with a signing bonus of $5,000.

Keep in mind, these numbers are averages for roles across practice areas. If you are in a practice area like Accenture Strategy, your salary and bonuses will be much higher than average.

Accenture Career Path

Accenture values ambition and self-generated motivation in their employees. The company also employs a strong hierarchical organization. Therefore, Accenture expects its employees to always be working toward promotion. This is one of the ways they demand high performance—though it also creates a highly competitive internal environment.

Within the consulting track, employees are typically hired in the Analyst position, and can be promoted within that track for two years before reaching the level of Consultant. Within two to three years Consultants may be promoted to Manager, then in two to four years to Senior Manager, then within three to give years Managers may be promoted to Managing Director. Each level has a deadline by which employees must either be promoted or seek employment elsewhere. This is referred to as an “up or out” policy, common across consulting firms.

Spread across all divisions at Accenture, employees are also promoted to different levels. Employees are typically hired at level 12 or 11, and promotions within the levels system mean decreasing numbers. The Accenture career levels’ salary influence is strong, with seniority a major determining factor in the Accenture consultant salary that is offered.

Accenture Glassdoor Reviews

Overall, Accenture receives a score of 3.9 stars out of 5 on Glassdoor. This reflects a polarized range of responses to some of the same conditions. For instance, some employees respond very negatively to the highly competitive atmosphere. Other employees thrive on the sense of competition. Some employees rave about the fact that the job constantly challenges them. Others say the heavy workload is stressful and harms work-life balance & overall wellness. Many reviews express some satisfaction with the Accenture business consultant salary, though they note that other top-tier consulting firms pay higher salaries.

Accenture UK Consultant Salary vs. Accenture Consultant Salary US

One of the main factors in the differences in Accenture strategy consultant salary is location. With offices in 120 countries, Accenture deals with a wide variety of economic conditions. For example, there is a notable salary difference between the US and the UK. The average Accenture UK Consultant salary is £50,605/yr. At the time of writing, this was the equivalent of $64,700. The average Accenture Consultant salary US was comparatively higher, at $101,000 per year.

This reflects broader industry trends in which UK salaries are typically lower than US salaries. However, it doesn’t tell the full difference. UK employees enjoy a great deal more social protections than US employees, as well as a nationwide cost of living almost 7% lower, and average rents almost 30% lower than the US.

Conclusion

If you are planning on working with a global consulting firm in the hopes of earning a high salary, Accenture probably has your attention. The Accenture entry level salary is not bad at all! Some other top firms may boast higher figures, but Accenture holds its own. For example, the Deloitte vs. Accenture salary battle favors Accenture, with an average Accenture consultant salary of $101,000 per year versus $87,000 for consultants at Deloitte.

However, as you set your expectations, you should be aware that a lot of different factors play into each Accenture management consultant salary. If you do manage to get hired, your average Accenture consultant salary will depend on your specific employee profile, how far you progress, and on the region in which you’re hired. This will also have an impact on how far your money will go. For more salary information for many other consulting firms, see our comprehensive salary report.

11. Salaries When Exiting Management Consulting

Short answer: You get a raise when you quit the job.

And here’s the long answer:

Even though management consulting is among the best-paid jobs, with a few years of experience, you will receive even higher-paying offers from outside the industry – typically ranging from +20% to + 50%, but sometimes as high as +100-200%!

This is the exact reason so many people willingly exit the industry within the first few years, but at the same time, it explains why management consulting is so attractive – those learning opportunities will catapult your career and your salary sky-high!

Trajectory of Management Consultant Career

It’s no secret that one of the things that draws lots of college seniors and MBA students to the management consulting field is the high salaries and year-end bonuses. But what does a typical management consulting salary look like?

We’ve surveyed recent hires by firms like Bain, BCG, McKinsey, Accenture, and Deloitte and can tell you.

In this article, we’ll provide:

• An overview of management consulting salaries in 2022,
• Management consultant salaries for undergraduate and Master’s degree full-time hires,
• Management consulting salaries for MBA degree & Ph.D full-time hires,
• How to compare management consulting salary packages to other offers, and
• The trajectory in management consulting careers.

Let’s get started!

Overview of Management Consulting Salary Packages

What should you actually think about when you are considering a management consulting salary package?

A management consultant compensation package includes:

• A base salary,
• A (one-time) sign-on bonus,
• An annual performance bonus, and
• A (one-time) relocation payment (depending on company policy and circumstances).

The first thing to note is that a management consultant salary is typically non-negotiable at the base salary level. If you’re going into an offer with the hopes of negotiating an additional few thousand dollars, think again. Most firms, especially top strategy firms, want to keep salaries at a consistent starting level for an incoming cohort. The compensation tiers for management consultant salaries are not flexible.

For some firms, these compensation tiers are the same across all offices in a region. (Ex: the BCG consultant salary for someone in Atlanta will be the same as the salary for a BCG consultant in New York). Because of this, it’s important to consider your office preferences and your cost of living.

Other firms, like PwC for example, have a pay scale that varies by office. An Associate in PwC’s Atlanta office would have a slightly lower salary than an Associate in New York because of New York’s higher cost of living.

The consulting firms typically don’t even talk about salaries until their first offer letters are sent out. Once they are sent out, however, Bain, BCG, and McKinsey sometimes “update” starting salaries based on the salaries offered by other firms within this group of consulting firms. These “updates” are not always made, however.

How 500+ Candidates Have Landed Consulting Offers At McKinsey, Bain And BCG

Experienced Hire Salaries

Experienced hires have wiggle room to negotiate the amount of their sign-on bonus or relocation payment if they have a good reason (e.g., a candidate moving a family rather than just themselves).

But experienced hires shouldn’t have the expectation that they’ll be able to negotiate a substantial increase in their offer. Top consulting firms know they have strong reputations and that many people want to work for them.

As an experienced hire coming in with several years of relevant experience, your best shot is to try to negotiate the level at which you enter the firm. Coming it at a higher level would get you a higher base salary and sign-on bonus. In the end, though, the consulting firms’ compensation packages are pretty set.

[Note: We have not included experienced hires in our salary charts since the salaries vary widely depending on the level at which a recruit is hired.]

Affect of COVID on Management Consulting Salaries

A lot of people wonder how COVID has affected consulting compensation. This varies by firm, but most top tier consulting firms have been able to keep staff salaries the same, with partners taking the greatest hit to their compensation.

Some firms have increased base salaries and performance bonuses as a way to incentivise staff to stay. (See this article about PwC for one example.) On the other hand, some firms have had to make pay cuts which have left their staff feeling under-appreciated. These cuts have been paid back in some cases. (See this article on Deloitte as an example.)

In the tables below, we provide a basic overview of what a management consultant compensation packages look like. First, we’ll cover management consultant salaries for undergraduate and Master’s degree candidates. After that, we’ll cover management consultant salaries for MBA and Ph.D hires.

The focus of our consultant salary research was the North American market.

How to Compare Management Consulting Salary Packages to Other Offers

If you receive multiple offers from top tier consulting firms, then you’ll need to know how to compare one against one another.

When you’re comparing consultant salary packages, it’s important to consider the following:

• Location of offer
• Base salary
• Performance bonus structure
• Sign-on bonus
• Pay-back timing
• Financial support for educational opportunities

Management Consulting Salary Variance by Office

As described above, some firms vary in their base salaries by office. It’s important for you to know which firms do this and which have one salary for a level across a region.

Typically, a Bain consultant salary, BCG consultant salary, and McKinsey associate salary will be the same regardless of what office you are hired by. They vary only based on the level you are hired at (e.g., analyst, consultant, engagement manager). Tier 2 and Big 4 firms, such as PwC, EY, and Deloitte, vary compensation packages based on the cost of living in different offices as well as on the level of the employee.

Performance Bonuses

In addition to a base salary, you’ll also be offered a substantial performance bonus. This performance bonus will vary based on a lot of factors though, most of which you can control and some of which you can’t (like overall demand for consulting services). 

So don’t let a large number sway you without digging into that number. You have to take into consideration your first year learning curve, the state of the business, and the way that the specific firm calculates their performance bonuses.

An important thing to ask the team/firm after you’ve received an offer is what is factored into a performance bonus. Performance bonuses can be based on:

• Strictly your own personal performance,
• The amount of business the firm sells,
• And even peer feedback.

How performance bonuses are calculated varies from firm to firm, so if you have competing offers, it’s important for you to note these things so you know what to expect at the end of your first year.

If your performance bonus is based on the profitability of the firm, you should also ask how many consultants are “on the beach” or not currently staffed on a client engagement. Find out if that will affect your performance bonus.

Typically, recruiting teams are pretty good at hiring based on business needs, but no one can predict the state of business exactly – especially during COVID. Performance bonuses are a large portion of the overall management consulting compensation package, so it’s important to take them into consideration when you receive an offer.

Performance Brackets

Another important thing to take into account is what percentage of consultants at the firm make the top tier of their performance bracket. For example, let’s say you receive an offer, and it’s mentioned in your offer letter that you can earn up to a 60% performance bonus. Sign me up, right??

Not just yet… A good question to ask is how many people actually achieve that top tier of the performance bonus structure. If only 3% of a 100-person practice hits that top tier mark, then only 3 people will get that performance bonus.

What type of bonus do the rest of the staff receive? It’s good to ask for and consider those statistics before assuming you will be in the top tier of a performance bonus payout.

When Are You Eligible for Performance Bonuses?

You’ll also want to ask if you’re eligible for bonuses right away. 

For example, some firms pay bonuses at the end of their fiscal year instead of the calendar year. Let’s say you are hired in August, but the performance bonus pay out is in September. You’ll have to wait an entire year to be eligible for a performance bonus! If you’re aware of this, it can be an excellent way to negotiate a sign-on bonus.

Sign-on Bonuses

Sign-on bonuses are another important thing to consider when comparing compensation packages. This is where candidates find they have the most leverage when negotiating. It’s rare to be able to negotiate a base salary, but firms are more flexible with a one time sign-on bonus, especially if a candidate has other offers on the table.

Some points that can help you increase your sign-on bonus include:

• You missed most of the fiscal year and won’t get to participate in a performance bonus.
• You have other offers on the table with a higher base.
• You’re not getting a relocation payout and you have to move cross-country.

Payback Policies for Sign-on Bonuses

It’s important to note that some firms have payback policies on their sign-on bonuses. Consulting firms offer high pay packages to get high-performing candidates to work for them, but they also want to keep the candidates long enough to re-coup the costs of hiring and training them. You might have to payback a percentage of your sign-on bonus or even the full amount if you leave the firm before the specified length of time.

It doesn’t look good to ask about the payback policy since it makes you look like you’re thinking of leaving after a relatively short period of time. But the length of the payback period should be detailed in your offer letter. Read the offer letter carefully.

Financial Support for Education

In addition, firms also offer a plethora of educational support and payback programs. If you are interested in getting a Master’s of Business Administration or another degree, then this is another great opportunity to consider when comparing management consulting salaries.

McKinsey, Bain, and BCG will pay for undergraduate hires who perform well to attend business school. In return, the consultants have to come back to the firm and work for them for 2 years after completing their MBA (or payback the cost of the degree like with the sign-on bonus).

Other Benefits

Management consulting firms also provide other benefits. Although the salary is important, consider the effect other benefits like health insurance and paid time off will have on your costs, your career, and overall your happiness.

How 500+ Candidates Have Landed Consulting Offers At McKinsey, Bain And BCG

Trajectory of a Management Consultant Career

Career Trajectory at Bain, BCG, and McKinsey

The trajectory of a management consulting career at top firms like Bain, BCG, and McKinsey can be pretty predictable, though promotions do vary a bit based on performance. You may get promoted faster if you come in with experience and your performance is exceptional.

For example, at BCG you can expect to spend 2 years in the associate role. Top performers can spend another year as an associate and then get promoted to consultant without attending business school. But most associates leave the firm after 2 years to get an MBA or another advanced degree.

For incoming consultants, it takes about 2 years before you’re promoted to project leader, and 2 years before you’re promoted to principal.

Once you make principal, it takes about 4 years to make partner. This time depends on performance and getting the partner votes needed for this promotion.

The titles for different positions vary by firm, but each firm has a predictable promotion track. These timelines also hold for specialist roles like McKinsey Implementation or Operations as well.

In recent years, Bain and McKinsey have increased the number of undergraduate hires promoted directly to the next role without attending business school. This used to be very rare but nowthere are a few outstanding performers in each class who are promoted directly to the next role.

With these predictable promotions, you will receive substantial increases in your base salary in the future. As you are promoted, your performance bonus will have an enormous effect on your compensation and whether you want to stay in consulting, take a position with a client, or move to another career entirely.

Career Trajectory at Tier 2 and Big 4 Consulting Firms

For Tier 2 and Big 4 consulting firms, especially those with varying cohort levels and compensation by office, promotional tracks vary more by individual. Ask about what the promotional track looks like year by year, and to what degree it is based on performance vs. tenure.

Up or Out Policies

Consulting firms have “up or out” policies. You can’t come in as a business analyst and stay on as a business analyst for years because you like that type of work and are good at it. You must earn and take promotions or leave the firm.

This means that you will need to learn to manage other people, then manage a team and then multiple teams. As a partner, you will also be expected to sell consulting work.

Don’t be alarmed though; top consulting firms provide immense amounts of support to ensure that all consultants have the tools they need in order to be successful. People have time to demonstrate improved performance.

Not everyone who leaves consulting firms does so because they could not earn a promotion. Many consultants want to own business results for the long-term rather than coming in for a short project and then moving on to another client or industry. Some decide that they would prefer to use the problem-solving skills they’ve developed in consulting to work in private equity or other industries.

The knowledge and skills you build during a consulting career will be beneficial in whatever career you decide to pursue.

In this article we have discussed:

• An overview of management consulting salaries in 2022,
• Management consultant salaries for undergraduate and Master’s degree full-time hires,
• Management consulting salaries for MBA degree & Ph. D full-time hires,
• How to compare management consulting salary packages to other offers, and

All About Management Consulting Salaries

Management consulting salaries are a critical factor when you’re considering job offers. 

Whether you’re a student or recent graduate who’s looking for their first job in consulting or you’ve already got some experience under your belt and are seeking career progression, there are certain aspects of management consulting that you need to be aware of.

With so many consulting firms, all offering different remuneration packages and career path, your decision becomes much harder. 

Turning to Google might seem like the logical step to take but expect to be overwhelmed by the amount of arbitrary information that is presented to you.

That is why I’ve put together a comprehensive guide that compares management consultant salaries at some of the most prestigious consulting firms in the world.  

This includes McKinsey, the Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Bain & Company, Deloitte, and Accenture.

Hereafter, you can find a synthesis for MBB.

Management Consulting Career Path

In general, careers in management consulting have similar pathways across industries and companies. 

However, titles might differ from a firm to another. 

Thus, the table below illustrates the management consulting career path you can expect to take on your journey from an entry-level analyst all the way through to making partner at five of the most respected management consulting firms.

Management Consulting Titles

Next, how long can you expect to stay at the same level?

Of course, it depends on your performance. 

For example, if you are a rockstar, you can make it from Analyst to Partner in less than 8 years. 

On the other hand, if you are on the other side of the spectrum, you can face the “up or out” policy. This means that if the firm isn’t ready to promote you to the next level at the end of the generally accepted time frame, they’ll ask you to leave the firm. 

But, these are extreme situations. Here is a table that summarizes the average number of years you should expect per role.

Management Consulting Career Path

Roles & Responsibilities

Next, let’s see the responsibilities per role.

The responsibilities below are broad strokes and will give you a basic sense of what type of activities you’d be primarily responsible for at each level.

Business Analyst Responsibilities

Business Analyst (BA) is the typical entry-level position for management consultants with an undergraduate degree.  

The role involves extensive research and data gathering of client problems together with the suggested solutions. This information is organized and presented to internal senior consultants in a compelling format such as a slide deck or PowerPoint presentation.

Furthermore, BAs will often be tasked with building financial models using tools like Excel to reinforce any recommendations as well.

For instance, here is a McKinsey Business Analyst job description: 

McKinsey Business Analyst Responsibilities

Check your target firm’s website for job opportunities. Or, alternatively, You may also find entry level consultant jobs with Jooble. 

Consultant Responsibilities

The role of Consultants and BAs overlap in many ways. Gathering data in some capacity is just one of them. 

However, once given an assignment, junior consultants are expected to work independently with minimal oversight to get the job done.

Senior Consultant Responsibilities

Senior consultants are more specialized than junior consultants and carry out more of a leadership role. As such, they are generally responsible for leading BA and junior consultant teams. 

Furthermore, due to the greater responsibility and the fact that they’re much ‘closer to the action’, senior consultants have more of a voice when it comes to internal discussions with senior leadership.

McKinsey Associate Responsibilities

Manager Responsibilities

Managers carry out a project management role. 

In consulting, this means Managers spend most of their time problem structuring, managing the analysts’ individual workstreams, and synthesizing them into a cohesive analysis.

In other words, they must organize the tasks that BAs, junior consultants, and senior consultants need to carry out, ensure that work is delivered on time and that the proposed solutions are effective. 

Besides, they are the bridge between the higher up principals and partners and the BAs, junior consultants, and senior consultants. 

For instance, they will then report to their principal and partner superiors on progress and outcomes.

Principal Responsibilities

There’s a saying – the closer you get to the top, the more challenging it often becomes. This rings true for principals. 

One step away from making partner, the first year in this position is touted as the most challenging in management consulting.

Principals have established themselves as experts in their field or specialized industry. The role consists of plenty of travel and meetings with clients. 

The reason? 

To foster strong relations and create new business opportunities that drive growth for the company.

Partner Responsibilities

Atop the typical management consulting tree sits the partner or director. 

Most of their work revolves around building new business relationships and maintaining existing ones. 

Partners are often the first point of contact during discovery calls and they will also follow-up on active cases and conduct the final meetings to wrap up cases.

Management Consulting Salaries

You now have a firm understanding of management consulting, including the typical career progression pathways, and the standard job descriptions at each level.

Now, let’s see the salary range that you can get as a consultant. 

However, before you look at the numbers, remember that management consulting salaries can vary significantly by location, and job titles can differ across companies. 

Therefore, I decided to focus my analysis of management consulting salaries on 2x regions: the US and France.

There are 3x entry points into consulting:

• After graduating from an undergraduate program
• Transitioning from industry, and joining as a senior industry hire
• After graduating from a graduate program

Furthermore, if you want to learn more about the McKinsey recruitment process, check this article. Plus, these 2x articles to write a winning resume, and a persuasive and customized cover letter. 

Management Consulting Career Path

Undergraduate Students

First, consulting firms are competing with other industries to attract the best undergraduate students.

For instance, companies such as Google, Amazon, Facebook, or Apple offer a good salary range, and lots of other perks (e.g. cool offices). 

Therefore, management consulting salaries tend to go up over the years.

MBA Students

According to Bloomberg, the best business schools for the consulting industry by the number of students who get hired upon completion of their MBA are provided below. The percentage of hires and median graduate management consulting salaries for 2019-2020 are also presented for the purpose of this analysis.

Best Business Schools To Land A Job In Consulting

Furthermore, depending on your performance and potential, some consulting firms will offer to sponsor your MBA studies. This allows for seamless re-entry into the firm once you’ve acquired your Masters in Business Administration.

Experienced Professionals

To begin with, experienced hire simply means hiring candidates that have worked and held a full-time job before.

Consulting firms serve a broad range of industries and clients, so the expertise and insights that experienced hires bring are invaluable to their work.

So, great minds and diverse perspectives help them solve some of the world’s toughest business problems.

Thus, they actively recruit talented experienced professionals from a wide array of industries and backgrounds, including finance, law, consulting, teaching, military, healthcare, government, and many others.

To conclude, here are key differences between graduate hires and experienced hires:

• Experience hires can enter at many different levels based on experience. For very senior hires, they may enter as a Principal or even as a Partner (e.g. if you hired the COO of a division at a client). More junior hires could enter at various levels, based on both their experience and their ability to negotiate. In some cases, hires might be hired at a very junior level, but with the possibility of “fast track promotion” if they perform strongly
• Depending on specific experience, experienced hires are more likely to align to a practice right away vs. graduates
• Experienced hire recruiting goes on year-round, graduate recruiting generally happens once a year

Conclusion

There you have it.

You now have a firm understanding of management consulting, including the typical career progression pathways, average management consulting salaries at leading global organizations, and the standard job descriptions at each level.

Remember that management consulting salaries can vary significantly by location and job titles can differ across companies.

Furthermore, it’s always good practice to look beyond the management consulting salary alone to determine the best offers such as your fit with the firm’s culture, the types of projects or the exit opportunities 

Management consulting can be a very rewarding career.

At the end of the day your performance will dictate how far and how fast you climb up the corporate ladder.

Accenture Salary Information – Adventure Wealth Advisors

Accenture has over 500,000 employees worldwide, so while this salary review is fairly comprehensive, it only pertains to US employees, and there are probably many practices left out.

You can find the US Accenture Managing Director’s compensation here, which includes a thorough explanation of each compensation category.

The data presented below is from a 2019 voluntary online survey (fishbowl) of Accenture employees after their end of year raises and promotions and confirmed against online salary aggregators (LinkedIn, Indeed, Glass Door, etc. ).

They all depend on the accuracy of responses, but they correlate pretty well with each other.

Before we review the numbers, let’s take a look at the job levels.

Accenture job levels

Accenture has multiple layers of job levels within its consulting practice. As you can see below, it starts at level 1 – Executive leadership and goes down to level 13 – New Associate or Assistant. Read about the levels of Managing Directors here.

Career level designations:

1. Executive Leadership
2. Global Leadership (MD)
3. Senior Leadership (MD)
4. Leadership (MD)
5. Associate Director or Principal Director
6. Senior Manager or Senior Principal
7. Manager or Principal
8. Associate Manager or Associate Principal
9. Consultant, Team Lead, or Specialist
10. Senior Analyst
11. Analyst
12. Associate
13. New Associate or Assistant

Accenture Base Salaries

The Accenture salaries listed below only include base salaries, which excludes the other Accenture compensation categories of cash and equity bonuses and various other grants.

Managing Director Salaries 

As expected, the base salaries for Accenture Managing Directors are the highest.

The Fishbowl Survey puts the average salary for Managing Directors at $272k, with the LinkedIn survey coming in at $270k.  

However, MD salary ranges can be very high, especially when working from L4 MD down to L1. The LinkedIn survey ranges from $225k to $386k.

These results are pretty typical for L4 – L3, but I suspect the salaries for L2 and L1 are much higher.

Principal Director and Senior Manager Salaries

The next two levels, L5 (Associate/Principal Director) and L6 (Senior Manager), are within 10% of each other, with L5 averaging $210k and L6 average $190k.

Typically, the L5 position is for employees who aren’t on the “Managing Director” path and are happy staying in L5. Senior Managers can plateau for a while but usually need to move to L5, L4, or out of the company.

Glassdoor shows the average Senior Manager salary at $184k, inline with the fishbowl surveys.

However, when you break it down to the organizational unit, you’ll notice a large discrepancy in Senior Manager salaries. 

The highest average of $228k belong to the Strategy organization, as expected, and quickly goes down to the $ 150k’s for internal organizations.

Accenture Manager Salaries

Accenture Managers (L7) average $148k for base salary in the fishbowl survey, while the Payscale average is $132k.

Just as with other levels, there’s a large variance between organizations and cities regarding managers. 

As expected, the high cost of living cities have the highest salaries (San Francisco, NYC, Boston). 

Atlanta snuck in at the top, but the survey data shows half of the responses are from the Strategy group, pushing up the averages. When strategy is taken out, Atlanta L7 average goes down to $145k.

Sacramento only had one survey response, so don’t refuse to move there just because they have the lowest average!

Accenture Consultant Salaries

Accenture L9 or Consultants had the highest number of responses, making sense because there are so many, and they’re hungry for more money!

The fishbowl survey put their average salary at $110k, while Comparably. com shows the average at $119k.

Typically, consultant salaries range between $100k – $124k depending on the city, San Francisco and NYC at the top end of the range.

Additionally, I wanted to look at the average salary by gender, which shows a nearly equal match between Male and Female, with a big jump in those choosing Other.

Accenture Analyst Salaries

Accenture analysts (L11) usually are college hires or those with just a couple of years of experience. The fishbowl survey shows their starting average salary at $77k, which is much better than my $42k when I started in 2004!

Payscale shows the average Analyst salary at $79k. 

As expected, there’s variance across cities and the organizational unit, but let’s take a look at another interesting survey question: College Grad or Experienced Hire.

The survey lists “Homegrown,” but unless someone is born into Accenture, it’s safe to assume these are recent college grads.

The average for “Experienced Hire” is $81k, while the average for “Homegrown” is $77k.  

While the experienced hires are brought in at a slightly higher rate, it shows Accenture doesn’t typically regard experience from other companies as overly valuable.

As an Accenture employee, you know they like to bring them fresh and train them in Accenture ways.

Although the results are based on volunteer surveys, the correlation between the various sources helps build confidence in the numbers.

The fishbowl survey info is super valuable, so a big thanks to the anonymous person who runs that survey! Here’s the breakdown of survey answers by level.

what it means for consultants

Let’s talk in more detail about the new professional standard with Guli Bazarova, director of the Moscow School of Practical Psychology of the Moscow Institute of Psychoanalysis and head of the group for the development of the professional standard “Consultant in the field of personnel management”.

The need to create a professional standard for consultants in the field of personnel management has become more acute every year. The fact is that the HR consulting market is actively growing, and the specialists who provide services in this area have very different qualifications and experience. Because of this, certain difficulties arise:0007

– Employers do not know what competencies and work experience an HR consultant should have.

Industry certification is primarily important for employers. The standard defines the criteria by which they can evaluate consultants and helps clients understand what level of service should be provided. Guli Bazarova, Director of the Moscow School of Practical Psychology, Moscow Institute of Psychoanalysis

— Consultants do not understand what they need to do to be in demand.

The standard will allow consultants who want to be as in demand as possible to see opportunities for their professional development based on the job functions and other conditions mentioned. Guli Bazarova, Director of the Moscow School of Practical Psychology, Moscow Institute of Psychoanalysis

In addition, many foreign companies and experts are leaving (or may leave) the Russian market, so the development of our own consulting practice, increasing its competitiveness and the qualifications of its participants have become extremely relevant.

The professional standard was formed on the basis of regulatory documents and legal requirements for the development of professional standards.

The knowledge, skills and experience of the consultant indicated in the document correspond to the needs of the Russian labor market. In order to determine the request, Guli Bazarova’s team conducted a large-scale study:

• more than 3,000 consulting market experts were interviewed: business coaches, managers, career consultants, professional communities, university employees and other representatives of the HR sector;
• Identified key theories and practices of consulting in large international and Russian companies;
• studied methodologies, technologies, practices and experience in consulting among customers, their needs and requests, goals and other factors, taking into account their industry and organizational and legal specifics.

From the data obtained, averaged indicators were taken, which formed the basis of the professional standard.

Guli Bazarova notes that the professional standard is not a guide to action, but a guideline for consultants and customers of consulting services, which will increase the efficiency of their cooperation.

This professional standard should help improve the quality of services provided by consultants, thereby creating a modern highly professional market where the work of unskilled specialists will not be in demand. Guli Bazarova, Director of the Moscow School of Practical Psychology, Moscow Institute of Psychoanalysis

Thus, consultants are not required to obtain mandatory certification, but voluntary assessment will most likely increase their competitiveness.

Compliance with the requirements of the standard is the standard of professional recognition and a clear advantage. Guli Bazarova, Director of the Moscow School of Practical Psychology, Moscow Institute of Psychoanalysis

According to the professional standard, a consultant must graduate from a higher educational institution with a major in personnel management. And then undergo training for a narrower specialization , depending on the choice of the future field of activity. There are two ways to get an appropriate education:

• complete a bachelor’s degree in Human Resources Management and undergo advanced training in the functional area of ​​personnel management;
• complete a bachelor’s degree and complete additional professional retraining programs in the functional area of ​​personnel management.

In addition to training, a specialist must have at least five years of work experience in the functional area of ​​personnel management.

Since the constant acquisition of new knowledge is a professional and qualification characteristic and the need of a development-oriented consultant, the demand for high-quality education of specialists will grow, Guli Bazarova believes.

In addition, the adoption of a professional standard means the institutional recognition of counseling as a type of professional activity. This means that educational programs in this area will be improved, and the provisions of the professional standard will serve as the foundation for educational programs in universities at all levels.

Health consultant: career guide

Translation – Sergey Strukov.

The role of a health consultant is really interesting and useful for people who work with clients who are passionate about health and help them reach their full potential for a healthy lifestyle. From stress management and goal setting to healthy eating and regular physical activity, the health counselor plays an important role in empowering people to take charge of their own health and find the motivation to make sustainable behavioral changes.

The report offers recommendations based on the current state of affairs and affecting
new possible areas that will allow the specialty to flourish in the future. In particular,
these areas include positions in fitness, healthcare, and workplace wellness.

In addition, this report presents the unique perspectives of current practitioners.
health consultants on a wide range of topics showing how their knowledge, skills and passions
realized through a career in a growing field.

“People need more than just a training program or a nutrition plan. They need an expert who
leading and inspiring. People need someone who can keep in touch with them along the way.
who makes them believe they can achieve meaningful and lasting change.”

Cedric Bryant, ACE Chief Science Officer San Diego, CA.

Health Consultant: Definition

Just over a decade ago, health counseling was described as the practice of health education and healthy lifestyle promotion in a pedagogical context to improve people’s well-being and facilitate the achievement of health-related goals (1).

As the field has evolved and matured in recent years, the National Health Counselor Certification Consortium has introduced a more formalized definition of health counselors. The organization describes them as professionals of diverse backgrounds and backgrounds who work with individuals and groups in a client-centric approach that facilitates and inspires people to achieve self-defined health and wellness goals. Successful pedagogical counseling is possible if trainers apply well-defined knowledge and skills that mobilize internal forces and external resources for sustainable change in clients (2).

While educational programs with a focus on knowledge transfer serve as excellent
addition to primary health care, education programs themselves have proven to be
ineffective (3). Addition of a pedagogical intervention focused on increasing
intrinsic motivation, improving skills and increasing confidence in managing their own
conditions, as well as the setting of achievable goals by clients and patients, turned out to be significantly
more effective than health-improving education (4).

Competence boundaries

Despite the availability of many health counselor training programs and specific standards and recommendations in each, most educational programs share similar key components: motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral methods, and problem-solving goal setting (5).

Health counselors are expected to:

• applying effective communication skills: open-ended questions, affirmations, reflective listening and debriefing with clients and patients that increase motivation and ability to make changes;
• helping clients and patients develop achievable and measurable goals to monitor progress and motivate behavior change;
• helping clients and patients develop and apply strengths that support successful behavior change.

The Health Counselor is a partner for clients and patients that uses collaboration, a thought-provoking process to help people discover their intrinsic motivation, improve their overall health and well-being.

Ultimately, the scope of a consultant’s work is determined by national laws and regulations, as well as authority, education, experience, competence and skills. The health consultant is obliged to be guided by the laws of the region of residence, observe the established boundaries of competence and avoid legal problems due to the provision of services that do not correspond to the specialty. Not included in the area of ​​competence, among others, the following actions:

• medical advice/treatment
• development of nutrition plans, recommendations for nutrients
• workout recommendations
• diagnosis of mental illnesses, disorders
• recommendations and sales of nutritional supplements.

In addition, the Health Counselor should be familiar with and follow the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans and training program recommendations from leading industry organizations such as the American Council on Exercise (ACE), the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), the College of America obstetricians and gynecologists (ACOG), the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), and the American Heart Association (ANA). Also, health consultants should be aware of recommendations for special populations listed and other organizations in the health sector; stay tuned for updates to current nutritional guidelines published by the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

The health consultant needs to maintain the same level of professionalism as in other professions with a client-specialist relationship, like a doctor and a patient, a client and a lawyer. In fact, it is necessary for a health consultant to strictly adhere to the laws of confidentiality and best practices when handling client information.

“Health counseling creates opportunities for positive changes in human health in more
globally, offering real, meaningful and sustainable change.”

Jessica Matthews, ACE Certified Health Coach and assistant professor of health and exercise science at Miramar College in San Diego, CA

General picture of the industry

Economic transformation, rapid urbanization, and the spread of unhealthy lifestyles such as smoking, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity and alcohol abuse are among the risk factors that increase the severity of chronic diseases (6). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that as of 2012, about half of the adult population – 117 million people – had one or more chronic conditions such as heart disease, stroke, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and arthritis (7 ). In the US, 75% of healthcare spending is related to the treatment of chronic diseases, so solving this problem is one of the priorities for the state.

Epidemic control

In the current health crisis, research clearly shows that health counseling positively impacts clients’ physiological, behavioral, and psychological well-being, as well as their social lives, with statistically significant results in weight management, physical activity, and physical and mental health outcomes (4 ). Based on scientific evidence supporting the health benefits of lifestyle counseling, in 2014 the US Prevention Action Task Force (USPSTF) published recommendations that people who are overweight or obese and have at least one additional risk factor for cardiovascular disease Behavior change counseling to promote healthy eating and exercise for the prevention of cardiovascular disease is highly recommended by health and exercise professionals, in conjunction with other allied professionals to provide such services (8).

Health consultants, thanks to their knowledge and experience, are uniquely prepared to serve as conduits for continuous change, helping people to maintain and restore health and those who wish to improve their overall well-being.

Currently, health consultants enjoy the benefits of a specialty when working with individual clients and groups. This typically involves the use of technologies for real-time or delayed communication, including telephone, internet, email, video conferencing and social networking, and face-to-face interaction in a variety of settings, including those listed (9):

• clinical setting, e.g. hospital and private practice
• large corporations and small businesses
• health insurance companies
• community centers
• educational institutions
• global health organizations
• health clubs and centers, fitness studios
• at the client’s and patient’s home in case of self-employment.

Given the evolving nature of the field, the hourly rate and annual salary of health consultants can vary greatly depending on a number of factors: location of employment, length of service in the specialty, and type of service provided. The 2013 ACE National Survey of Newly Certified Professionals showed an average health consultant salary of $33 an hour, while a full-time health consultant earned an average of $51,219.$ per year (10). But, as noted above, the pay range differs significantly depending on the listed variables. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that professionals could earn $86,819 or more in 2012 (11), showing the potential for significant growth that exists in the field.

“I decided to become a health consultant while I was working in the intensive care unit and
many of the patients I helped in the hospital had chronic conditions that debilitated
making them seriously ill or dying. The purpose of my certification as a consultant in
health – learning additional strategies to help my clients avoid this side
healthcare. ”

Theresa Brosche, ACE Certified Health Coach and adjunct nursing instructor in Spotsylvania, VA

The future of specialty

One of the main goals of health care reform and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) of 2010 (also called “ACA”) is threefold: to achieve better health and care while reducing costs. Thanks in part to a redesign of First Aid. In the “old” model, healthcare providers struggled to provide high-quality care to chronically ill patients in a 15-minute visit, especially when patients were unwilling or unable to follow the recommendations provided (12).

In this regard, the CDC recommends self-management education as a key step to improve patient-centered outcomes, including quality of life (13). Health Counselors are well equipped to help patients acquire the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to achieve their health and wellness goals in a constructive and personalized manner consistent with their unique individual values. The goal of health counseling is to focus on creating healthy eating habits, stable physical activity, implementing strategies and solutions to overcome perceived obstacles. This is called “patient activation” and is associated with positive behavioral changes in response to chronic disease (14).

Healthcare New Opportunities

Due to the high financial and social costs of chronic disease prevention to the US economy, coupled with the need to offer affordable, high-quality, and easily accessible health-related interventions as outlined in the health reform act, there is an urgent need to rethink how chronic disease is managed (15 ). There needs to be a shift towards personal strategies based on patient preferences, their willingness to change and psychosocial variables, all approaches that health counselors use to facilitate long-term behavior change (16). Research has shown health counseling to be highly effective in focusing on developing self-efficacy and goal-setting skills, problem solving, and removing cognitive and emotional barriers (5).

Health consultants are invaluable in supporting physicians and patients, improving quality of care while reducing costs, due to their experience in providing unbiased, individualized treatment, personal relationships, combined with skills in behavior change, exercise and nutrition.

Given the importance of addressing behaviors and habits that negatively impact health and well-being, such as physical inactivity and chronic stress, this is a great opportunity for skilled health counselors to fill a gap and play a much-needed role in a patient-centered healthcare model. According to scientific research, health counseling is a particularly effective method in the treatment of chronic diseases, with proven success in changing behaviors that lead to chronic diseases, as well as increasing self-efficacy, physical and mental health among patients (4).

“I envision widespread adoption of health consultants as part of the healthcare continuum,
working together with doctors and other medical staff, as well as in the field of corporate fitness,
to help improve the health and well-being of people, not only for themselves but for society in
as a whole. ”

Debi Pillarella, ACE Certified Health Coach and program director at Community Hospital Fitness
Pointe, a medically-based fitness center in Munster, IN

New opportunities for wellness in the workplace

About 67% of employers cite worker unhealthy habits as a leading problem in terms of providing affordable insurance coverage, as the cost of health insurance for people with chronic diseases is estimated to be four times higher than for healthy people. The unstoppable pressure on employers to pay for increased health care costs has led to an increased demand for the services of health consultants for long-term cost savings proposals, from healthy food choices in the organization’s cafeteria to employee-friendly physical activity programs. Nearly half of employers who implemented workplace wellness programs reported cost savings, and 69% of them report an improvement in the health of workers. With a background in motivational interviewing, positive psychology, and effective goal setting, a health counselor can effectively promote workplace wellness programs that aim to change behavior (keep team members from making real change), increase worker productivity, and reduce health care costs.

“One of the things I love about my job is the opportunity to learn about people’s current habits.
and help them change their behavior towards better health and quality of life.”

Become a Health Consultant

To improve the health and well-being of people around the world, ACE is committed to ensuring that all people have access to highly qualified health consultants who promote sustainable changes that lead to weight loss, healthy eating, systematic physical activity and overall well-being. By meeting this challenge for 30 years, ACE has become the world’s largest certifying and training non-profit organization in the field of health and fitness, with 50,000 certified professionals worldwide.

Knowledge and skills of a health consultant

The qualification examination should provide an objective assessment of a person’s ability to perform the relevant job. One of the most important components of the certification process in any profession, including a health consultant, is a study that delineates the main tasks that a specialist performs on a regular basis. Specific tasks, related knowledge, and competency components are initially set as defining components by health counseling experts, whose work is then validated by a sample of health counselors currently practicing in a variety of settings.

As a result, a list of areas (representing the main areas of responsibility in the specialty), tasks (separate functions for some individual aspects of work) and related knowledge and skills (required to perform these tasks) are determined, which provide a minimum level of practical and theoretical knowledge necessary for competent and safe work as a health consultant.

• Establishing rapport and promoting behavior change – using effective
  communication strategies for building and maintaining relationships with individuals and groups,
  by teaching behavior change.
• Development and implementation of programs – creation of individual and group programs
  structured behavioral changes focused on lifestyle regulation and
  body weight through physical activity, nutrition and education.
• Progression and regulation of programs – monitoring, evaluating and making changes to
  individual and group structured behavior change programs,
  aimed at improving and maintaining health, fitness, weight and composition
  body, metabolism.
• Professionalism and competence – performance of duties through continuous
  education, cooperation and understanding of professional standards and actions,
  necessary to protect customers and patients, specialty, stakeholders
  and himself.

An expanded version of this outline eventually serves as the basis upon which the Health Counselor Certification Exam is developed.

Importance of certification

One of the most important decisions that a person who wants to work as a health consultant needs to make is getting certified. While many certification options are available, ranging from “health consultant” to “wellness coach,” not all of them offer the same level of credibility, which is a must in this rapidly evolving field.

“I became a certified health consultant to improve my skills as a registered
nutritionist and personal trainer to help my clients by empowering them to achieve
positive lifestyle changes.

Solutions based in Glendora, CA

NCCA Accredited Certification Explanation

Specialty certifications need to be verified by a third party, an independent organization that accredits certification programs. Originally established as the National Commission for Certification of Healthcare Organizations with funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and now the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) reviews and accredits certifications for most health-related specialties, including credentialing for registered dietitians, sports trainers, practicing nurses and pharmacists and many others.

ACE, along with other leaders in the health and fitness industry, believes that people who position themselves primarily as educators need to obtain nationally accredited professional certification. This means health or wellness certification accredited by the NCCA or the International Coaches Federation (ICF). ACE is now leading the way in quality healthcare crisis management by offering NCCA-accredited Health Counselor Certification.

Earning a reputable Health Counselor certification indicates a high level of professional competence and assures clients that you have mastered the foundational principles needed to empower people to make positive, lasting, and healthy change.

Opportunities for influence

In an epidemic of lifestyle-related diseases, the impact of health consultations is high. Research suggests that adopting sustainable healthy behaviors, including regular physical activity and healthy eating, is key to tackling the epidemic of obesity and other lifestyle-related diseases (17, 18). With this in mind, ACE is committed to public policy towards highly skilled, evidence-based, interdisciplinary counseling and support for sustainable behavioral change as an integral component of the national health continuum.

ACE has pushed federal and state officials aside in advancing public policies that have moved obesity prevention and treatment into the health care system. In particular, ACE requires policies that create a lasting impact, including:

• Verification of support and payment for the treatment and prevention of obesity.
• Identifying and engaging in communities as part of a continuum of accredited healthcare
  NCCA health consultants, fitness professionals and other weight management experts
  and behavioral changes.
• Encouraging health professionals to attract highly qualified specialists in
  wellness and training for cooperative behavior change in a large and growing segment
  populations at increased risk of obesity and comorbidities.

For individuals seeking to influence the global culture of wellness, now is the best time to take the lead and become certified health counselors and lead others towards meaningful health behavioral change.

“Hope is the basis for starting any change. Working as a health consultant brings me
the unique pleasure of helping people break the shackles of obesity and live life to the fullest
the life they deserve.”

“Theory O” and “Theory E” as a strategy for organizational change.

Section “Enterprise Management”

Published in the journal “Management in Russia and abroad”
#1 year
– 2005

Shirokova G.V.,

The implementation of organizational change is the “aerobatics” in the work of company leaders, involving knowledge of the philosophy and technology of the process, as well as the study of successes and failures. Implementing organizational change can be compared to climbing an unknown peak.

There is always the possibility of failure, but careful preparation and knowledge of the mistakes made by others, as well as knowledge of successful experiences, increase the likelihood of success. This article presents the experience of two Russian companies in carrying out organizational changes. To carry out change, these companies used and adapted well-known models of organizational change, in particular, Theory E and Theory O.

Review of theories E and O. In the modern literature on the problem of change management, polar concepts of organizational development are distinguished, each of which determines the corresponding strategy for change. The authors of these concepts, called respectively Theory E and Theory O, are well-known researchers, Harvard Business School professors Michael Beer and Nitin Nohria. Theory E proceeds from the primacy of financial goals and focuses on their effective achievement, taking into account the constant pressure of the company’s shareholders. Theory O considers the organization as a self-developing system and is more focused on the corporate culture, goals and motives of the organization’s employees.

Theory E leaders tend to use hard methods, emphasizing top-down change and focusing on building structure and systems. Theory O leaders are more focused on training and developing employees, changing corporate culture, and making change from the bottom up. The table presents the characteristics of these theories.

Table

Comparative characteristics of organizational change theories [1]

Characteristics	Theory E	Theory About
Purpose of change	Increasing profits (economic goals)	Development of organizational abilities
Leadership	Top to bottom (autocratic)	Participating (participatory)
Object of change	Structure and systems (“hard” elements)	Organizational culture (“soft” elements)
Planning for change	Programmed and planned changes	Spontaneous change (reaction to emerging opportunities)
Motivation for change	Financial Incentives	Combination of different incentives
Participation of consultants	Consultants use ready-made technologies and solutions	Involving employees in the decision-making process

THEORY E

We will analyze theory E using the example of the Metrolux company. This is a small network of retail stores selling cosmetics and perfumes in St. Petersburg. In 2001, the CEO of the company realized the need for change and turned to consultants for help. By this time, the company had been in existence for 9 years.years and for the first time encountered difficulties – a drop in sales, a low level of employee motivation, high competition from other trading companies.

The head of the company (who is also the owner) understood that for a long time he did not attach importance to the changes taking place in the external environment. At the dawn of the formation and development of business, his company managed to maintain a leading position due to the lack of serious competition. The company was making huge profits with little effort. Over time, many shops selling similar products appeared in the city. The only and main goal of the changes was considered by the head of the company to increase profits. This goal was communicated to all employees of the organization. They were told that their own well-being directly depended on the economic well-being of the company.

First of all, the head of the company brought all his stores into a single chain with a single purchasing center. If earlier each store independently resolved issues with suppliers and, accordingly, each store received different discounts even from the same suppliers, now all stores began to act as a single client. Logistics has also been consolidated under the leadership of a specially introduced commercial director position.

The CEO of Metrolux followed Michael Jensen and Milton Friedman, who said that “corporations’ only ethical and legitimate contribution to society is to generate profit and create economic value [6]. The market is the best arbiter of decisions made by managers.” Jensen’s research shows that many top managers have been ruining the well-being of companies if they pursue goals that are not related to the company’s profits. Jensen argues that the market penalizes firms that do not take into account the goal of increasing profits as an obligation to employees, customers and the public.

Leaders who choose Theory E manage change from the top down. They usually do not involve managers and lower-level employees in discussions about setting goals and objectives. The CEO of Metrolux was a typical commander. Most employees simply followed his orders, but did not participate in the development of strategic goals. The manager made decisions individually, logically assuming that everything that is beneficial to him personally will be beneficial to his company as a whole. In addition, he believed that employees prefer to be simply told what is required of them, but not involved in the preparation and decision-making process.

Despite the fact that the consultants conducted a thorough survey of all employees of the organization and presented the CEO with conclusions that contained recommendations for involving employees in management, he did not take this advice and, as subsequent events showed, he was right.

Theory E proponents believe that top-down leadership is a reasonable approach to managing change when a firm is experiencing problems that could lead to collapse. Using a military metaphor, Jay Conger believes that “only generals have a common view of the battlefield” [3, p. 99]. Only the president of a company can make the right strategic decision regarding restructuring, the introduction of new technologies and reengineering, that is, all the initiatives necessary to survive in a changing external environment. These initiatives require too much knowledge. Moreover, in many situations, leaders simply do not have time to make participatory decisions. Speed ​​is an essential factor, and the leader himself can most quickly make a decision for others to implement it.

Leaders using Theory E focus primarily on strategies, structures, and systems—the “hardware” of the organization. These are the elements that can be easily changed from top to bottom and can bring quick financial returns. Almost all the actions of the CEO of Metrolux were focused on the implementation of regular rules, job descriptions and an accounting system. Little attention has been paid to relationships or behavioral aspects – the “software” of the organization. The possibility of installing a system for monitoring the work of sellers in the company’s stores was seriously considered.

Jay Galbraith also focuses the main goal of change on the hard elements of the organization [4]. He believes that the strategic turn of the company is possible only through fundamental changes in the organizational structure and management system as a whole.

Theory E is based on the view that the main struggle for the firm’s survival is impossible without a comprehensive plan controlled from above. The head of the company “Metrolux” clearly followed a pre-developed plan for the changes. He acted quickly and decisively. In one of the stores that existed longer than the others, more than half of the sales assistants were replaced, job descriptions and regulations on the system of fines and punishments were introduced in all stores. A sales accounting system was developed and implemented, which involved dividing all employees into groups and introducing a group incentive system. All these measures allowed not only to increase labor productivity, but also to reduce costs. The next step, which was indicated in the company’s strategy, is the opening of new stores at each metro station. At the moment, the company is doing well, gradually opening new stores that are integrated into the overall strategy of the company.

Through research at General Electric and other companies, Sumantra Ghoshal and Christopher Bartlett concluded that CEOs who had economic goals in mind when making changes did so following a clear, consistent plan [5]. First of all, they described the portfolio of the company’s businesses and everything that is necessary for the survival and prosperity of the company. The next step in change is to find ways to integrate high-performing units. Ghoshal and Bartlett argue that well-planned changes are more likely to bring results than spontaneous and unexpected changes.

Theory E relies on the creation of financial incentives to motivate change in a company. According to the agency theory developed by Jensen and Karen Wruck [1, 10], incentives that are in line with the interests of managers and shareholders are essential to effect change. The sales accounting system implemented in Metrolux made it possible to build a clear system of financial incentives by linking wages with sales volumes. In addition, based on a comparison of indicators, the winning stores received an additional bonus fund, which they managed independently.

Such financial incentives have symbolic and motivational value. Building the right incentives is the key to getting the attention of managers and employees. Without these incentives, managers and employees will not be able to properly prioritize work. In addition, Wruck notes that these incentives are also significant because they give managers and employees a sense of fair reward for hard work.

Using Theory E, company management expects ready-made solutions and recommendations from consultants. At Metrolux, not a single employee was involved in the development of the change strategy. All decisions were made by the CEO after reviewing the recommendations and reports of the consultants. Consultants were perceived as specialists who are good at theory and can present ready-made solutions for their implementation. The CEO himself only decided whether he would use this or that recommendation of consultants or not. Nevertheless, the presence of consultants increased the importance of organizational change and excited everyone in the organization.

To achieve quick and drastic improvements in financial health, companies often hire large consulting firms and pay them multimillion-dollar fees. In 1997, AT&T spent $200 million on consultants. Armed with state-of-the-art analytical techniques and a large staff of highly savvy people, consulting firms often lead change by infusing a company with new perspectives on their business and introducing new management practices. The merits of such large-scale interventions are described by Terry Neill, head of Andersen Consulting [7]. Neill and Mindrum argue that an organization can significantly improve its performance only by simultaneously changing various parts of the social system. Strategic changes must be accompanied by changes in many other systems or they will fail. Neill also believes that clients can benefit from the comprehensive expertise and knowledge that consulting firms bring to the company. Most organizations have a limited view of management research and best practice. This is because the company has no incentive to accumulate such knowledge, while consulting firms have it.

In the 1990s, Theory E became the dominant model for organizational change in the United States. Then she began to penetrate into managerial practice in Europe. One of the main reasons for this popularity is to get quick and significant results aimed at improving the financial condition. The global financial system makes changes in corporate performance immediately available to investors, and investors are the financial institutions that managers need to perform well.

THEORY O

Theory O is illustrated by the example of the Rosbytkhim company. Its CEO, who is leading the organizational change that began in late 2001 and continues to this day. The changes are aimed at a fundamental restructuring of the culture and behavior of management and all employees of the company.

The goal of change according to Theory O is to develop organizational abilities, especially the abilities of employees, to involve them in the decision-making process regarding organizational problems. The goal is to create a working system in which employees become emotionally attached to the goals of the company’s development. By focusing on the efficiency and productivity with which people work at every level, the leaders of such organizational change believe that the firm will improve its financial position.

Specific steps that have been taken at Rosbytchim to achieve the set goal are comprehensive training of employees. With the help of consultants, a number of seminars were held to analyze the activities of each unit. Top-managers of the company entered the MBA program of the Faculty of Management of St. Petersburg State University, several lower-level and middle-level managers were sent to retraining programs. The company itself has become a tradition of weekly meetings of managers to discuss problems and new opportunities. Barriers between divisions disappeared, closer cooperation and mutual understanding were established. By the way, this fact was facilitated by seminars on the selection and description of all business processes of the company.

Proponents of Theory O, such as Peter Senge, believe that focusing only on the financial condition of the company when carrying out organizational changes is a mistake [8]. Setting economic goals at the forefront can prevent management from discovering factors that are critical to economic health. Senge believes that the development of organizational capabilities requires employee training and the creation of a “learning organization”.

However, while Theory O proponents do not prioritize profits, they believe that a healthy “learning organization” is the best way to achieve the long-term interests of owners. In an effort to maintain harmony in the relationship between employees and managers, Theory O proponents try to avoid the radical restructuring and layoffs that are characteristic of Theory E.

Theory O is characterized by a high level of employee involvement and collaboration. Employees are involved in identifying problems and solving them. As Warren Bennis argues, Theory O is based on the assumption that engagement is essential to building partnerships, trust, and commitment that are vital to creating long-term improvements [2]. At Rosbytkhim, a team of managers was involved in developing the mission and strategic goals, and not just the general director with consultants, as is the case with Metrolux.

Relying on values ​​and behavior is the hallmark of all strategic change that takes place according to Theory O. Top management usually proclaims a set of values ​​or principles that make up the corporate culture and govern the behavior of employees. In the Rosbytkhim company, its leader (and owner) stated that the basis of the company’s management philosophy is respect for the interests of all employees, as well as the development of their abilities and the provision of opportunities for self-realization and self-expression. The organizational culture of the company supports the high level of work and personal achievements of each employee. Great importance is attached to joint corporate events – trips out of town, skiing.

Proponents of Theory O argue that the emphasis on structure and systems, especially when imposed from above, will not lead to fundamental changes. Exceptions may be “self-imposed” and “self-designed” structures and systems at the unit level. But corporate decisions about structure and systems for local divisions take little account of employees’ tacit knowledge of problems at their local level. Simply changing the structure and system does not change the culture. Cultural change requires management to engage people emotionally so that new structures and systems are not resisted.

In Theory O, there is no single program for change (eg TQM or business process reengineering). It is very difficult to identify a single leader of change. Local leaders take responsibility for change, and top managers have less influence than with Theory E.

Rosbytchim did not have a plan for making changes. The management team set priorities for each week, but no one saw working with consultants as a temporary campaign that had a beginning and an end. After the consultants left, the managers continued to work on their own and continue to do so to this day, creatively considering opportunities to improve the organization’s performance on a daily basis.

Theory O proponents, such as Karl Weick, believe that the apparent success of centrally planned change favoring Theory E may be an illusion [9]. “We attribute success in change to highly professional initiatives, but they rarely underpin organizational structure.” Organizations are constantly changing as a result of ongoing local experimentation. Why not extend this natural dynamic by encouraging local experimentation and using it to advance knowledge throughout the organization? Top managers can create the necessary conditions for this by encouraging and involving all employees.

Theory O tends to emphasize less the role of financial incentives, especially individual ones. Financial incentives are used as an additional mechanism to motivate employees of the organization. Leading mechanisms include reorganization of work and changes in management style. Proponents of Theory O believe that money is, of course, very important. There is no doubt that money drives people, but emotional involvement is also important. If financial incentives are to be used as an engine for change, they will need to be established early in the change process. The correct strategy and required behavior are often revealed already in the process of change, so it is very difficult not to make a mistake at the beginning; incentives have to be changed, changing the already proclaimed material incentives undermines the credibility of the authorities.

Based on these arguments, it can be assumed that it is better to use rewards (incentives) in the process of change, reinforcing the behavior that has arisen, than to use incentives in the early stages, controlling people’s behavior.

The Rosbytkhim company invited organizational development consultants who presented a method of high involvement in making changes. The consultants helped establish a process by which managers and employees would then make their own analysis of the situation and make their own decisions. The role of consultants is to facilitate the process and be the impetus for creating new initiatives. While consultants come up with specific ideas on how to build an effective organization, they do not recommend all-encompassing corporate programs. They impose on management the process of learning and discovery, leading managers through learning to analysis, restructuring and change. As a result, responsibility and abilities are developed, which are necessary for making the right decisions and their implementation.

In its purest form, Theory O, based on soft change methods, is less common than Theory E, based on hard methods, especially in the US. Firms that use Theory O very often have strong long-term psychological contracts with their employees. We can say that Theory O is more in line with the philosophy of Japanese companies. It allows you to maintain the trust and commitment of company employees, which, as a rule, is destroyed when using Theory E.

The analysis carried out allows us to draw several conclusions regarding the theories of organizational change. The main question that arises is: “What criteria should be followed when choosing a particular behavior model?” The choice of one theory or another depends primarily on:

• the nature and extent of the problem facing the organization. If a company is facing serious problems that need to be addressed immediately, the Theory E approach is likely to be appropriate;
• personal characteristics of employees of the organization. We are talking about the level of education and the attitude towards the work of the company’s employees themselves. Highly educated and creative employees are likely to prefer the Theory O approach; employees with a low level of education, lack of initiative people will not be able to help management with this approach. Then the Theory E approach would be more appropriate;
• nature and content of work in the organization. With monotonous and routine work, it is difficult to develop creativity and involvement in the management process. It is necessary to clearly build procedures and regulations of behavior, which is characteristic of Theory E. On the contrary, where creativity and an innovative approach to decision-making are required, it is better to develop organizational abilities and create a “learning organization”, which corresponds to Theory O;
• value orientations of leadership and leadership style . An economic value-oriented leader is likely to use Theory E, a socially oriented leader is likely to use Theory O. An autocratic leader will undoubtedly prefer Theory E, a democratic leader will most likely use Theory O.

A natural question arises: “Is it possible to combine hard and soft methods in the implementation of change and how should this be done?”

Beer and Nohria [1] believe that it is the combination of hard and soft methods that is necessary to achieve the maximum effect. However, they note that the ability to combine these methods, in view of the deep contradictions between the theories on which they are based, remains the lot of the most talented and trained leaders. An unsuccessful and ill-conceived combination of hard and soft can lead to complete failure, and it is better to use a hard or soft approach in a “pure” way, understanding the shortcomings and limitations of each.

9 rules for a successful relationship between client and consultant

The client is always right. We are so accustomed to this postulate that we cannot look at it a little wider, which is why we make an unforgivable mistake, reinforcing the already one-sided perception of the relationship between the client and the consultant. But there are two sides to them, which means that not only the client, but also the consultant has the right to choose who to work with. Music in this relationship is ordered by the client, so he has more requirements for consultant . The expectations of a consultant, as a rule, come down to a set of simple conditions necessary for comfortable and efficient work, the observance of which is in the interests of the client himself. Thus, client is always right if he provided the consultant with all the conditions necessary for effective work.

Client’s expectations from the consultant

1) Consistently high quality of communication. The quality of communication with the client should not deteriorate over time. You should not try to charm the client with the reliability of the candy-bouquet period, since the bar set at the initial stage of cooperation will have to be kept in the future. And despite the fact that you will not have another chance to make a first impression, it is better to make it with the forces and means that you plan to use in the future. In addition, at the very beginning of cooperation, it is important to identify the boundaries of what is possible in the relationship between the client and the consultant. For example, a client rightly wants to be given time exactly when he needs it. This desire should be correlated with the capabilities of the consultant, so it is worthwhile to indicate in advance the frequency of meetings, their place and time, and agree to appoint unscheduled meetings in advance.

2) Punctuality and organization. The client’s expectations regarding the deadlines in which the consultant must complete certain tasks are most often overstated, but at the same time the consultant should not be beaten out of the deadlines. The solution is simple: the consultant must participate in their installation. This will allow you to set realistic deadlines and stick to them.

3) The ability to admit mistakes. If the consultant made a mistake, this does not mean that the client will immediately be disappointed in him and break off business relations. Everyone has the right to make a mistake. Timely detected errors, in which the consultant honestly admits to the client, and at the same time tells what has been or will be done to minimize possible negative consequences, will help maintain client loyalty. Lies and silence of the mistakes made will most likely lead to fatal consequences for the client, since he will be deluded about certain facts, which means that he will incorrectly assess the situation in which he is. Never and under no circumstances should you deny errors discovered by the client himself. For them, the consultant should thank the client, because this will preserve the image of the consultant and save him from the same mistakes in the future.

4) Feedback and responsibility. The client wants to be kept up to date with the progress of the tasks, so the consultant’s reports must be regular, as well as concise and easy to study. The reports should focus only on global issues, in respect of which it is important for the consultant to offer the client to choose one of several effective solutions. Moreover, it should be obvious to the client which solution, in the opinion of the consultant, is the best. This will show that the consultant is ready to take responsibility for the choice.

5) Treat the client’s problem as if it were your own. Perhaps the most difficult, but at the same time the most important expectation of a client from a consultant. To achieve this when working with a client for the first time is difficult. But a long-term partnership ultimately makes the consultant feel deep empathy for the client, which means that already at the stage of negotiations on cooperation, the parties should be set up for long-term relationships.

6) Politeness, courtesy and attention. The client wants the consultant to always remain attentive, polite, and anticipate his desires, navigate in important details for the client, think how the client thinks, predict his decisions, be ready for them in advance. The client must be sure that he is the most important thing in the life of a consultant. Therefore, the consultant should call himself, and not wait for the client’s call, write an e-mail and clarify whether help is needed in performing a particular task, and not wait for the client to ask for this help.

Consultant’s expectations from the client

1) Full timely information. The statement of the problems for which the consultant is involved must be complete, otherwise the consultant may incorrectly assess the situation in which the client is located and offer an erroneous solution to the problem. In such cases, the benefit of the services of a consultant, at least, will be reduced to zero or even harm the client for his own money. Therefore, if the decision to involve external specialists is nevertheless made, it must be accepted as a dogma that the consultant must be aware of all the circumstances relating to the case on which he is involved. It is important for the client to remember the fact that the consultant, with all the desire, cannot be included in the work of the client as deeply as full-time employees (it is this kind of abstraction that ensures the objectivity of the consultant). Of course, the consultant independently monitors the situation on the market, keeps track of important changes, and regularly asks clarifying questions regarding the current work of the client. But still, it is better if there is a specific specialist on the client’s side who is responsible for communication with the consultant, including for timely informing him about changes in certain circumstances (both external and internal) related to the consultant’s area of ​​responsibility. The consultant’s ignorance can lead to missed opportunities for the client or even harm him.

2) Meeting deadlines. If the client and the consultant have determined for themselves a certain internal deadline for a specific task, and the client failed to meet it, then this, of course, is not critical. But if the deadlines are set by a third party, then their implementation is mandatory for both the consultant and the client, otherwise the agreement with the third party may become invalid, the client risks not defending his interests or incurring image losses.

3) Complete trust: the presumption of the consultant’s professionalism. Despite the fact that the consultant is an external consultant, he must be treated as a partner and fully trusted. The client should not interfere in the process of providing services by the consultant, and even more so, indicate what and how the consultant should do. We are not talking about the lack of control of the consultant, we are talking about the fact that any control should have boundaries (periodicity, scope and methods of control). And they need to be agreed in advance. Otherwise, a sad picture may turn out when the patient tells the doctor about how he should be treated and what tools to use. The ideal client for a consultant is a client who fully trusts the consultant.

Atomization or consolidation: trends in the legal personnel market

Illustration: Pravo.ru/Petr09 Kozlov0 for the legal market in the first half of 2020 became a pandemic. Cuts in partner pay, pay cuts, and hiring cuts have become a new reality for consultants of all sizes. Despite this, the first half of the year turned out to be quite active in terms of partnership transitions and transformations in companies: partners changed firms, new practices appeared in companies and management changed. Let’s figure out how the legal market will react to the new crisis.

In the first half of 2020, lawyers struggled to survive and maintain income. The collapse did not happen. Law firms got through the turbulent period quite confidently. The past crisis experience has affected. So, schemes of work in a situation of falling market have already been used before.

During the crisis, consultants focused on retaining staff. Although many players have taken a wait-and-see attitude and have effectively frozen hiring, some have made targeted cuts, and some companies continue to actively hire employees in an attempt to attract a quality resource from the market. At the same time, hiring companies and firms are facing an increase in cases of counteroffers and retention of employees, says Dmitry Prokofiev, head of recruiting company Norton Caine Legal Recruitment. “Companies take this step because they understand that now it is more important and easier to keep a quality resource at home than to look for a replacement in a more competitive market later,” he comments on the current situation.

But this does not mean that there will be no personnel changes after the pandemic. You should not expect activity in the selection of personnel: according to the estimates of legal headhunter and career consultant Elena Barinova, after quarantine, hiring will be resumed very gradually, especially for senior positions. At the same time, there will be attempts to reduce the amount of compensation with reference to the risks of the situation as a whole. In companies, most likely, there will be a “cleansing of the ranks”.

“During these two months, the majority of law firms reassessed their human resources. There is an understanding of who is a mandatory asset and who is a burden. The ballast will be gradually disposed of. How actively this will happen depends solely on further loading,” says Elena Barinova.

The main trend is the surge of vacancies “2 in 1”. Instead of two inefficient employees, they are looking for one, says legal headhunter Olga Demidova, founder of the Legal Talents Executive Search recruiting agency and The Paragraph Magazine. And it is typical for both in-house lawyers and legal consulting. So far, the workload of companies has decreased, except for a number of practices where the situation is reversed against the backdrop of the post-pandemic (labor, courts, bankruptcy, commercial, compliance). This will influence the approach to hiring. At the same time, the “doc-like” trend of a constant outflow of downloads from consulting to in-house persists, Elena Barinova believes.

Mergers and divorces

Mergers and divorces are ongoing. Separation of partners from large law firms into their own legal boutiques – atomization of the market – may become a reaction to the crisis. At the same time, some law firms on the eve of the pandemic were ready to consider joining teams, but after the crisis they will be more careful in this matter. The alliances being discussed, designed to strengthen the positions of companies in the market and help them capture new niches, concern, as before, mainly Russian firms. According to Barinova’s forecasts, we should expect partners with teams from large “ruffs” and international consultants to come out. This will primarily target teams that fail to meet performance targets. The latter will probably get tougher. Such team partners will seek alliances with simpler, comparable firms.

Due to the pandemic, discussions about mergers are on pause, and some have abandoned the merger. For example, AB KIAP

its co-chairman Sergei Uchitel. In June, Master announced his intention to continue practicing law on his own. The company itself noted that 20 years of practice allowed the board to repeatedly verify the strength of the chosen partnership model and organizational structure.

I think that one of the factors of our stability is the chosen model of vertically integrated structure. We use various forms of partnership, but the share partner of the board is one person – Denis Rybakov, founder and chairman of the board. The co-chairs and other partners of the board work in a model that in Anglo-Saxon terminology is called Salary Partners. This allows us to maintain a high standard of reliability for each client, as well as to preserve the organizational structure, not to make the stability of the board dependent on the decisions of individual employees or economic conditions. The financial situation allowed Regionservis to go through the stressful quarantine period without losses, there are even personnel acquisitions.

Evgenia Chervets, head of the office of KA “Regionservis” in Moscow

The collegium has already encountered cases of the departure of several employees who were salary partners. According to lawyer Evgenia Chervets, head of the Regionservis office in Moscow, this did not affect the stability of the company. Clients and employees remained in the board. “We have been able to maintain relationships with customers and senior employees since 2000. The company went through all the economic crises, but every year it increased its professional staff and increased revenue. 2020 is the year of the 20th anniversary of Regionservice, in the context of which we decided on some internal reforms, but at the same time we will remain within the framework of the chosen partnership model. This allowed us to evaluate the accumulated assets and focus on our strengths. Now is a very interesting time for us – a time of structural transformations, active attraction of talented specialists, a significant expansion of the Moscow office,” said Chervets.

Transitions and new practices

Elham Daycare

We cannot say enough nice things about Elham and her family, because she has been a loving, patient, and kind teacher and caretaker of our child for the past four years. She truly loves all her kids and treats them like family! Not only do we know our son is well taken care of in a clean, safe homewith a fun yard to play in, Elham is a great teacher and uses a preschool curriculum to teach all the basics in shapes, colors, letters, numbers, and writing starting at an early age. Our son never attended a typical pre-school, but starting school in the fall we know he is well prepared knowing alphabet and numbers, drawing shapes and letters, and even started getting into the basic math problems she teaches.
It’s such a great environment for learning and fun for kids of all ages – from mere months old our kid was consistently around a diverse group of babies and kids of all ages, which has helped him be very gentle with babies as he got older along with learning to be a good friend with kids his own age. We could not have asked for a better daycare for all these years, not to mention her rates are super reasonable for the area and she is always flexible and understanding for those times you need a bit earlier or later. We’ll miss Elham when we have to leave, but glad another child will get to make a new friend and teacher!…

If I could give her 10 stars I would. Parents: if you want peace of mind for child care, I highly recommended Ali!. ..

Step By Step Academy

I met Ioana at school pickups. She was super friendly to my daughter. Started during covid and am amazed by how loving and caring she is each and every day. She has a special place in my daughters heart. And from the very first day she would sit and hold my daughter during nap time, (as until thenshe would sleep like that only) And slowly transitioned her to sleep on her own. She is the best. The care the love the things my daughter has learned and grown into, I couldn’t have done it myself. Can’t stop praising her enough.
Love her and her care team….

Thank you for visiting my page!
I’ve partnered with parents in raising their kids since 1995, when it was my way of providing for my family while home with my own kiddos. I live on a tree lined street nearHacienda School, providing a nurturing family environment for the kids. Having an abundance of experience with young kids, I’m happy to assist parents with parenting questions or concerns anytime. I enjoy relationships with all my daycare parents, working hand in hand with them in offering a wonderful experience for their kids.
Your family’s health, safety and well being are my highest priority! I’ve worked diligently to protect my daycare families during this pandemic and continue to follow all guidance at all times, including being fully vaccinated and masking.
It’s important for my families to be in community with each other, which I foster by hosting Friday night dinners at my home as well as Halloween and Christmas celebrations for the families. I look forward to resuming these fun activities when it is safe to do so!
I serve nutritious, delicious meals and snacks including whole grains, organic milk, organic infant formula and organic fruits and vegetables.
I offer each child personal care and attention as we enjoy our daily activities promoting preschool and kindergarten readiness, socialization skills and self esteem.
I have a large, shady patio where the kiddos can play in the sandbox or water table, or draw pictures with sidewalk chalk. My lawn is very spacious, where kids enjoy a playhouse along with various toys to climb up and slide down. Sometimes we just run around in the sprinklers!
Contact me to arrange a time for me to show you what I’m all about….

I met Ioana at school pickups. She was super friendly to my daughter. Started during covid and am amazed by how loving and caring she is each and every day. She has a special place in my daughters heart. Andfrom the very first day she would sit and hold my daughter during nap time, (as until then she would sleep like that only) And slowly transitioned her to sleep on her own. She is the best. The care the love the things my daughter has learned and grown into, I couldn’t have done it myself. Can’t stop praising her enough.

While our girls were growing up, I took of care of children, one or two at a time, sometimes 3 or 4 as ourgirls got older. I’ve cared for infants, toddlers and while our girls were in elementary school and middle school, after school care. My love of children also carried over to when I owned a Jazzercise franchise for 19 years. During this time, in addition to teaching adult classes, I also taught classes for K-5th grade. I taught PE at a few schools, held after school programs, and summer camps. I also volunteered at a school every spring for 9 of those years by teaching a dance to the four kindergarten classes for their Dance Fest.
I’m still caring for children just 1-2 at a time so I can give the children all of my attention. I love reading to the children in my care, going on walks to the park, singing, bubbles, play dough and arts and crafts. Most recently I was taking care of a little boy, 22 months old. I cared for him since he was 4 months, they recently moved.

Our Mission:

In each child, we strive to cultivate:
– Autonomy,
– A sense of belonging,
– Respect for others,
– Enthusiasm for Learning.
Our Philosophy:
At the Early Childhood Learning Academy, we believe the first five years of a child’s life are crucial in laying the foundation for later development, and we believe that the emotional domain is foundational to all other developmental domains.

We believe in the importance of early experiences and early literacy, we provide our children with a stimulating curriculum, consistent structure,and plenty of indoor and outdoor play; and we build children’s feelings that they are respected and competent which motivates their desire to learn.

What is the average cost of daycare?

The U. S. average cost of child care and preschool

Table 1 below shows the national average cost of child care for infant care, toddler care, and preschool for four-year-old children. Costs are split by type of program, center-based, and home-based.
In general, infant care is the most expensive, with an average of $9,321/year in a home-based daycare and $11,959/year for child care centers. Preschool programs for older children tend to be more affordable with an average cost of care for 4-year-old between $8,617/year and $9,170/year (for home-based and center-based programs, respectively.)
Table 1. The U.S. Average Cost of Child Care (Per Year) ²

The States where daycare is the least and most expensive by age group

Since each State has a unique landscape in terms of family income, child care availability and prices, the cost of child care needs to be analyzed State by State. Tuition rates also depend a lot on the age of the child (as explained earlier, daycare prices for infants are in general higher than for toddlers or preschoolers).
The District of Columbia has the highest cost of infant care for both settings, with $23,666/year and $16,737/year for a daycare center and a home daycare, respectively. As a point of comparison, D.C.’s average infant care costs more than the most expensive public college tuition in the U.S. (which is in New Hampshire, with $16,073 per year)! The lowest cost for infant care is in Mississippi, where the average price for daycare centers is $5,307/year, while the average for a family child care program is $3,570/year.
Table 2. Highest & Lowest Average Cost of Child Care for Infants (Per Year) ²

For toddlers, the cost decreases considerably on the high-end. The most expensive State for center-based toddler care is Massachusetts, with an annual cost of $18,845 on average. For in-home daycares, Nebraska is the costliest for toddlers, with an average yearly price of $12,480. On the low-end, the least expensive States for toddlers are Kentucky (for center-based child care) and South Carolina (for home-based), where cost is $6,258/year and $4,797/year, respectively.
Table 3. Highest & Lowest Average Cost of Child Care for Toddlers (Per Year) ²

The average cost of care continues to decrease as children get older. For most States, this is because regulations typically require lower teacher-to-child ratios. This means that a child care business can enroll more children with one teacher or caregiver. With lower staff costs, daycares and preschools can offer lower tuition.
It’s important to note that even though staff costs are one of the major expenses for child care businesses (along with real estate), child care providers are unfortunately one of the lowest-paid professions in the U.S.
Washington D.C. once again takes the top spot when it comes to the most expensive State. For a 4-year-old in private preschool, the cost of care is on average $18,657/year in center-based programs and $14,293/year for home-based preschools. Similarly to infants, Mississippi is once again the State with the lowest cost for 4-year-olds: the average price for centers is $4,670/year, while the average for an in-home preschool is $2,813/year.
Table 4. Highest & Lowest Average Cost of Child Care for 4-Year-Olds (Per Year) ²

Can families in the U.S. find affordable daycare?

While these numbers are interesting, amounts don’t say much until we answer the question of, “How much of their income do families spend on child care?” According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommendation, child care should not represent more than 7% of a family’s household income.
Given the $9,649/year average cost of child care and the U.S. median annual household income of $60,336, parents spend on average 16.0% of their income on child care.
This number varies by age group since the cost of care decreases as children get older. For infants, parents spend 15.4% to 19.8% of their income on child care (nationwide average for home daycares and child care centers, respectively). For toddlers, parents spend a bit less, with an average of 14.5% and 16.7% of the median annual income, for home-based and center-based daycares, respectively. For 4-year-old preschoolers, families spend between 14.3% and 15.2%. Center-based programs, once again, take a more substantial chunk of the family’s budget.
Table 5. Percentage of Family Income Spent on Child Care by Age Group (U.S. Average)

Which States have the least and most affordable daycare?

The situation is much worse in some States than others. The State where infant care is the least affordable for single-parent families is D.C., where center-based infant care costs as much as 91% of the median household income (or 64.4% for in-home daycares). For married-couple families, California is the least affordable for center-based infant care (18.6% of household income), and Nebraska is the least accessible for in-home infant care (14.6% of household income). On the other hand, the State with the most affordable infant care is Mississippi, with the average cost representing 4.9% to 7.3% of the median household income for a married couple.
Table 6. Affordability of Child Care for Infants (% of Median Income Spent on Child Care)

For 4-year-old children in preschool, Mississippi remains the most affordable State with child care costing 3. 9% to 6.4% of the household income for married-couple families (14.7% to 24.4% for single-parents). The District of Columbia remains the least affordable for single-parent families, where child care costs for 4-year-old children represent 55% to 71.7% of the income. For married couples, D.C. is the least affordable for center-based care (13.1% of household income), and Nebraska is the least affordable for home-based preschools (14.6% of household income).
Table 7. Affordability of Child Care for 4-Year-Olds (% of Median Income Spent on Child Care)

Is hiring a nanny, babysitter, or an au pair a good option?

Given the high cost of child care centers and home daycares, some parents may consider a caregiver that will solely care for their child. Hiring a nanny, babysitter or an Au Pair can all be good options, depending on each family’s needs. When it comes to cost, though, home daycares and child care centers aren’t the most expensive options.
According to the 2017 INA Nanny Salary and Benefits Survey, the average hourly rate in the U. S. is $19.14 per hour. Assuming 40-hour weeks, a nanny costs $39,811 per year on average. Nannies are employed by the family and thus also get paid holidays, vacation and sick days, health insurance, and other benefits. A nanny may be a good financial option for families with 3 or more children, but for 1 or 2 children, group child care is certainly more affordable. Of course, there are a variety of non-financial reasons why a family may prefer a nanny.
Au Pairs can cost about $19,000 to $20,000 per year or more, depending on a few factors. Au Pairs must receive a weekly stipend from the host family that is at least $195.75 per week, though families can pay more than this legal minimum. This stipend is about $10,000 per year, to which families need to add agency fees that cost $8,000 to $9,000. A few other costs also need to be taken into consideration when thinking about an Au Pair. For instance, room and board, auto insurance if they drive your car as well as travel costs to facilitate attendance at education classes or au pair gatherings.
Babysitters typically earn a rate similar to that of nannies but are more flexible in terms of hours and provide more short-term care. Just like nannies, babysitter hourly rates vary a lot by location and experience but can be anywhere from $10-$15/hour to $25-$30/hour or more.

Why is daycare so expensive, and what factors impact child care cost?

In addition to knowing the average cost of daycare, it’s also essential to understand where your tuition fees go. Knowing what influences the cost of child care can help you decide what’s most important to you, and what you don’t feel is essential so that you can save on child care.
The factors impacting the cost of daycare are (but not limited to) the following:
● Labor cost – caring for a child remains a hands-on job, and quality child care often equates to individual attention. Child care businesses pay staff, taxes, benefits, maintain high standards, and generally have low teacher-to-child ratios, especially for infants. In general, early childhood educators represent about 80% of child care expenses.
● Location, location, location – where you live is a significant factor in the cost of daycare, as the price varies between states, counties, and even cities. Child care tends to be more expensive in large metro areas, simply because real estate is more costly, salaries are higher, etc. To save on child care, parents can consider commuting (or moving) a bit further away from the center of large cities.
For instance, if you work in the Washington D.C. metro area, consider looking for child care in neighboring Virginia or Maryland since D.C. is the State where daycare is the most expensive. Some smaller towns within 30 to 40 miles of D.C. have much more affordable child care than downtown D.C. (e.g., Alexandria VA, Centreville VA, Aldie VA, Gaithersburg MD or Silver Spring MD).
Use our tool to estimate the average cost of daycare based on zip code, child’s age, and type of child care (home or center).
● Child’s age – younger children need more individual care than older children, and most State licensing regulations require a lower teacher-to-child ratio. That means that child care businesses need to hire more staff for infants than for preschoolers, and therefore, tuition rates are (understandably) higher.
● Type of facility (home-based or center-based) – child care centers are generally more expensive than home-based daycares due to higher real estate costs, and sometimes other additional expenses in staff (due to varying licensing requirements in terms of staff-to-child ratios), supply and maintenance fees, technology, etc.
● Part-time or full-time care – many child care and preschool programs offer part-time child care options. Families who can manage to have a part-time schedule can save a significant amount on child care costs. For instance, a part-time schedule can work if grandparents can care for children on some days/hours, or you can have alternating schedules with your partner or spouse.
There are many different part-time options, either 2 or 3 days/week (full day), or half-days (5 days/week), or a combination of both. Home daycares tend to be more flexible than centers, but be sure to include part-time care in the questions you ask when touring a daycare or preschool.
● Curriculum & Teaching Philosophy – day care and preschools programs offer different teaching philosophies. Depending on the learning approach and curriculum, teachers may prepare materials and even design the preschool environment according to the programs they offer. Different teaching philosophies include Play-Based, Montessori, Reggio Emilia, Waldorf, and many more. Bilingual child care programs are also common (especially in certain languages like Spanish, French, or Arabic) and are generally more expensive.
● Meals and snacks – many early education programs provide healthy meals and snacks from breakfast to lunch, and even dinner in some cases. Some peanut-free daycares can accommodate children with allergies and only serve meals without nuts or peanuts. These meals represent a significant expense for child care owners, so if you plan on bringing food from home, discuss it ahead of time, and you might be able to get lower tuition.
● Accreditation – there are about 20 reputable child care accreditation organizations that bring early education programs to a higher standard in terms of staff training and education requirements, curriculum, facility, etc. Accredited child care and preschool programs tend to be pricier given the higher standards.
● Facilities & Equipment – the child care facility itself certainly plays a role. Newer, larger, brighter rooms and buildings are much more pleasant for children and parents but generally come at a higher cost. In addition to classrooms, the toys, learning materials, and playgrounds are all important. However, better equipment also commands a premium. Certain daycares also leverage technology (for instance, by having video cameras that can be accessed by parents online). Real-time access can give some parents peace of mind.
● Extracurricular activities – some preschools offer programs and activities designed to strengthen the learning experience and to engage children in fun activities such as sports, music, arts, languages, etc. Early education programs with many extracurricular activities tend to be more expensive.
● Field trips – in some preschools, children have occasional visits to places of interest such as museums, zoos, farms, parks, as well as fire stations, libraries, etc. Those can also add to the regular child care costs.
● Daycare Discounts – in addition to some tips listed previously, there are many ways to save on child care costs. Make sure to always ask about discounts available! Many child care providers have a sibling discount if you enroll more than one child; other facilities provide rebates to members of the military, teachers, etc.

14th Street Y Preschool

Our early childhood education programs draw on children’s inherent curiosity and sense of wonder.



We believe children are naturally competent, capable learners with a built-in ability to devise their own ideas and persist in tackling them. Our approach to learning also emphasizes socialization. Here, children begin to build relationships with peers and with adults other than parents and caregivers, acquiring a set of skills they will carry through life.

If your child is 2 by September 2023, we welcome you to apply for the Preschool 2023 – 2024 school year.

Building Confidence and Independence

Our son just had his first day of school and came home shouting, ‘I love Kindergarten!’ with the biggest smile on his face. We couldn’t be more thrilled for him. THANK YOU for all your care and patience in your work with him in the 14Y Preschool. It really showed today how prepared he was to take on Kindergarten with confidence and joy!

Philosophy

The 14Y Preschool offers unique environments in which children can question, problem-solve, create and grow. Children, ages 2 to 5, are in class 12 to 30 hours per week. Inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach of following our students’ innate sense of curiosity, your child will explore and learn in classrooms where they feel respected, trusted, and empowered.

Your child’s social-emotional-intellectual well being is paramount. We begin each school year with a Phase-In schedule. As children gradually increase the time in their new classroom, building to their full day schedule, they grow more confident in their independence. Their comfort grows experiencing these exciting new routines, spaces, and faces in their first Preschool environment.

The 14Y’s expert, professional and nurturing staff welcome your child’s curiosity and wonder, and provide an abundance of opportunities for children to represent their ideas and thinking through art and other media. We celebrate diversity, and weave Jewish values and traditions into age-appropriate and inclusive settings. Students in all our early childhood education programs enjoy sun-filled classrooms and an expansive rooftop play area to work their body and minds.

As part of Educational Alliance, a network of community centers operating in downtown Manhattan, including the Educational Alliance Preschool at Manny Cantor Center, the 14th Street Y Preschool cultivates a connection to the Downtown Manhattan and Educational Alliance community, as well as to Jewish and universally relevant values and traditions.

Programs

Art Studio

Our children visit the art studio with their classmates in ½ groups allowing for close individualized attention and interaction with our studio teacher. A vast array of materials and mediums are deeply explored while focusing on students’ personal interests and the curricular interests of the group. Recyclable materials and found objects are used in new and imaginative ways!

Music & Movement

Our Music & Movement classes develop the language of expression that children employ to express their thoughts through music physically in space while gaining large motor skills and body awareness. Each class will have the opportunity to experience small group instruction, which will add another creative layer to the classroom curriculum.

Swimming

(For ages 4 only for the 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM program, and ages 3 and 4 for the 1:00 – 3:00 PM extended day program)
Children visit the 14Y’s pool for an instructional swim class with certified water safety instructors. Children work in small groups with instructors, and use flotation devices such as noodles and backpacks to help them learn. Gradually children will learn to swim independently in a fun and safe environment.

Rooftop Play Area and Gym Time

Children spend time every day exploring our expansive outdoor rooftop, outdoor classroom, and gymnasium. This provides children with an opportunity to participate in full body movement activities through social play with their peers and utilizing their senses.

14Y Theater

Through the joy of artistic self-expression, children gain fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and explore a variety of materials and mediums

Visiting artists from our vibrant East Village community and LABA Kids program bring theater, music and the performing arts into the classrooms to explore Judaism through a universal lens.

Metro, city square, boulevards and Zilant in the play park near the school: how the My Rhythm residential complex is populated

Yards from well-known architects, convenient planning and quality materials from Ak Bars Dom

The development of 72 hectares of “golden » land in Kazan between MEGA and the agro-industrial park. The first residential buildings on Pobedy Avenue have already been occupied here, and two more houses are being commissioned by the end of the year. A school and two kindergartens are already operating. Recently, Ak Bars Dom began building a block near the future metro station. The center of attraction here will be a real playing area the size of 1.5 football fields: the architects of the Moscow bureau Megabudka are working on the project. About how this “city of active life” is growing and developing, combining the advantages of public spaces, housing and work close to home – in our material.

School before housing: how My Ritm develops

The My Ritm residential complex is growing and developing. On the territory of 71.5 hectares between MEGA and the agro-industrial park, people are already living in the first three residential buildings. Nearby are two kindergartens. By the end of the year, it is planned to complete the construction of two more houses along Pobeda Avenue. Piling of four houses on Albert Kamaleev Avenue, next to the new Lyceum No. 187, is actively underway.

An interesting detail in our conversation was noted by the honored architect of the Republic of Tatarstan, the chief architect of ABD Dmitry Puzyrev . The school was built by the Knowledge Day 2020, although at that time there were no rented apartments in the new residential complex. “This is a new trend set by our company in complex development – when schools and kindergartens are handed over in step with the occupancy of houses, and even earlier,” he explained.

The specialists of the company’s architectural bureau have been working on the territory for a long time and carefully. The goal is to plan more than just planting houses, laying out blocks, roads and sidewalks. Everything is much larger: it was necessary to think over the scenario of life in this corner of Kazan – and make it one of the best in the capital of the Republic of Tatarstan. Housings of different heights provide space above the head plus the opportunity to live both near the ground and closer to the sky. Commercial premises – from the side of the street, offer residents not only service, but also create the privacy of courtyards. Proper planting of high-rise accents, well-thought-out insolation, underground and above-ground parking lots, courtyards without cars at ground level – all these are the advantages of My Rhythm.

About the My Rhythm project

The area of ​​the residential complex is 71.5 hectares. In total, it is planned to build 39 residential buildings with an area of ​​609.4 thousand square meters. m is 12.1 thousand apartments.

There will be 2 schools for 2,725 places on the territory. One of them has already been built. In addition, 7 kindergartens for 1,790 children are planned (2 kindergartens are now in operation), a sports and recreation complex, a cultural and leisure center and a clinic for 430 visits per shift.

In accordance with the concept of “city within a city”, there will be almost 190 thousand sq. m of commercial space. The plans include the construction of 3 business centers with an area of ​​50 thousand square meters. m and a technopark of 60,000 sq. meters.

In addition, it is important to coordinate construction with city development programs, with the construction of social infrastructure and roads, and here the position of Ak Bars Doma is traditionally strong. My Rhythm has good transport accessibility: Pobedy and Albert Kamaleev avenues, Nazib Zhiganov street provide exits both towards the center and out of town. But that’s not all – there will be a metro station “Tulpar”.

According to Puzyrev, the Tulpar station will have three exits. One is right at the intersection of the residential complex and the main road routes. The second one is towards MEGA. The third one “lands” on the city square and pedestrian boulevard, which will be formed by the developer. Moreover, you can cross the streets along underground corridors without entering the station itself.

It was here that pile driving began for four new houses, the start of sales of which “Ak Bars Dom” announced recently. The advantages of housing are clearly visible on the planning project: next to it are developed public spaces, a school and a kindergarten. Therefore, it is not surprising that apartments and commercial premises here have a high investment attractiveness. Let’s just remember how the prices in the Aircraft Building District shot up after the completion of the metro station. .. And the apartments in My Rhythm are also new.

“Designing the life of My Rhythm, we relied on the principles of the permeability of the territory. And, of course, the public spaces of the residential complex will be available to all citizens of Kazan”

The architect continues. From metro station exits and City Square Pedestrian connections scatter everywhere.

The first 700-meter boulevard goes from MEGA to Agroprompark. It was developed in cooperation with one of the best landscape companies in Russia. The Moscow bureau AFA thought over both the yards and the boulevard itself. This public space is dynamic. The busy highway of Pobedy Avenue is fenced off from the residential area by multi-level parking lots, a business center and a pedestrian boulevard. The first floors are given over to commercial tenants, and therefore there will always be something to do on the boulevard — to look into the store, wait out the bad weather over a cup of coffee… Street retail will fill the street with life.

The second 700-meter boulevard was designed by Megabudka. It originates on the city square, where there is also an exit from the metro station – and stretches to Agroprompark. This area is located in the depth of the residential complex, so it is quieter and more peaceful. A natural promenade and a bike path are provided. This boulevard overlooks the private courtyards of houses, and it is here that the architects “planted” the highlight of the residential complex: grandiose play park . It will occupy an area of ​​11 thousand square meters. m is one and a half football fields. “Ak Bars Dom” here follows the principles of openness and transparency – the boulevards and the park are open to everyone. Residents of Azino will be able to drop in here – even on foot, even by bus – and guests from Aviastroy thanks to the metro: so far it is known that the station will appear in 2027.

“Designing the life of My Rhythm, we relied on the principles of permeability of the territory. And, of course, the public spaces of the residential complex will be available to all Kazan citizens,” Dmitry Puzyrev sums up. “Thanks to good transport accessibility, you can get here from any corner of Kazan.”

How landscape designers from Megabooth landed Zilant in a park the size of one and a half football fields

Let’s dwell on the concept of a grandiose play park – the so-called Dragon Lake playhub. It is planned to start its implementation closer to the delivery of houses that are already under construction. The architects of the Moscow “Megabudka” linked the site with the green frame of the entire territory of the complex, the city square, as well as with the neighboring boulevard. Conceptually, the entire giant site with an area of ​​more than a hectare was divided into several zones saturated with functionality. There will be a place for kids to frolic, go in for sports, and hold events. Or just relax watching your child.

According to the leading architect of the Megabudka Bureau Anastasia Lyutoy , the architects emphasized the pronounced terrain. The height difference from the school towards the boulevard is up to 2.5 meters. In order to create a sufficient number of flat areas, it was decided to organize the space with the help of terraces. But perhaps the most interesting thing is the central game object. The figure of the black dragon Zilant is spread out on the territory.

“We turned to the history of the city, studied the mythology of the region. Thus, the idea of ​​creating a valley of mythical creatures was born. We turned to the symbol of Kazan – the black dragon Zilant. According to an ancient legend, the serpent is located in Lake Kaban and guards the Khan’s treasures of Queen Syuyumbike. The relief of the playhub territory just recreates the winding coast, and the main object of attraction – the black dragon – is located at the bottom of an impromptu lake that guards its treasures. There was no brighter image to pick up! – says Anastasia Lyutaya.

The height difference from the school towards the boulevard is up to 2.5 meters. In order to create a sufficient number of flat areas, it was decided to organize the space with the help of terraces. Photo courtesy of Ak Bars Dom

It is important for children to create a story, says the architect. Therefore, Zilant is not just an art object on which you can run or crawl. This is a whole quest with games and adventures, which is a unique game complex with various types of activities: slides, balancing, climbing elements . .. So, on one level, the child seems to be making his way through the dragon’s claws, especially the brave one can look into his mouth and jump on back. And from the height of the watchtowers, you can watch the gameplay. It will turn out bright, figurative, stylish and recognizable. And how breathtaking Zilant will look from the upper floors of the houses! If you run all the way along the backbone of the dragon, you will come out about 100 meters.

Moreover, the dragon itself does not look like a giant structure that stands alone and divides the playing space. His figure complements the territory, it is trimmed with wood, ladders, handrails, and other retaining ledges are located on the “body”. The play space with Zilant is designed for ages 4-8, some elements also work for older children.

“In this way we created the center of the whole district. Here you can not only come to play with your child, but also relax with your family, watch, take part in events, go rollerblading. There are many sheds on the territory, there is a green buffer – the project is being developed by dendrologists. We hope it will be a very warm place that will unite families and residents of the complex,” notes the architect of the Moscow company.

Free areas along the perimeter of the play park in the future can be used for fairs, food trucks can be placed here. And in winter, the main point of attraction will be the central Christmas tree. By the way, the territory allows you to flood the ice rink – so the New Year holidays will definitely not be boring. One of the advantages of the game park and that the school is adjacent to it – and, for example, the hockey rink can be shared. The park is adjacent to a kindergarten, with a busy pedestrian and landscaped boulevard. Therefore, the place will turn out to be completely permeable and safe.

The combination of coverings, landscaping, geometry of small architectural forms should create a kind of mosaic. Photo provided by Ak Bars Dom

Your yard without cars, interesting playgrounds, modern entrances and spacious apartments We have already mentioned that the yard, due to the “car-free” concept, forms a private space for the peace of mind of children and parents.

According to the head of product development at ABD Inna Tarasova , zoning of courtyard areas is due to various types of coatings, installation of small architectural forms, landscaping and lighting elements. Even the usual entrance to the underground parking from the courtyard does not look like the roof of a dungeon covered with black tar, but is used as an amphitheater and part of the territory.

The most important story is the coverings of the yards. And not only for those who are resting, but also for those who look out of the windows of apartments. “It is necessary to create a picture for the observer, so that it is pleasant and comfortable not only to be on the ground, but also to admire all this from above,” Tarasova notes. The combination of coverings, landscaping, geometry of small architectural forms should create a kind of mosaic.

For example, playgrounds are covered with eco-friendly materials. Pearl-colored pebbles are in use: rounded sea pebbles brought from the Caspian Sea protect against injury when falling, and in addition contribute to the development of fine motor skills when playing. The sidewalks are tiled – the pattern is formed in such a way as to highlight the entrances and exits to the entrances or commercial premises on the boulevard on the sidewalk. Quiet rest areas with outdoor furniture and gazebos stand out due to wooden coverings. Workout sites have a rubber coating. Granite screenings and chips, sand and, of course, lawn are widely used. “Each coating should be applied where it is most effective,” explains Tarasova. “For example, when a child slides down a hill, a loose coating works.” As for landscaping, trees and shrubs are selected in such a way that it would be beautiful in the yards at any time of the year. Therefore, there are evergreen conifers and several types of shrubs.

Entrances become a logical continuation of high-quality courtyard design solutions. The modern entrance is saturated with sunlight during the day – or shines with lights in the evening, illuminating the approaches to the wide transparent doors. The fine finish includes wall and floor tiles in natural tones, an advanced navigation system, mirrors, shelves for bags, etc. Spacious strollers allow you to store strollers, bicycles, and other small outdoor equipment. High-speed elevators take residents to their apartments. An important detail here is the entrance apartment doors: the practice of installing temporary doors is in the past, there is no need for buyers to change them. And this means that the multi-style design of the hall is also a thing of the past.

Trees and shrubs are selected in such a way that the yards are beautiful at any time of the year. Therefore, there are evergreen conifers and several types of shrubs. Photo courtesy of Ak Bars Dom

Planning solutions offered in Moi Rhytme deserve special attention, which meet all modern customer needs. Comfort-class apartments range from family spaces with kitchens, living rooms, laundry rooms, balconies and terraces to spacious studios. In the new houses of the residential complex “My Rhythm” (PK5- and PK-10) there are apartments ranging from 32 to 121 sq. m, 4–5 apartments per floor. Bathrooms attract attention: 4.5 sq. m and more allow you to create a truly luxurious space.

The first floors of the four buildings under construction of the second stage are reserved by the developer for commerce, which allows people living in an active rhythm to “close” all the necessary household issues. Therefore, going down to the first floor for breakfast and enjoying fragrant coffee and fresh pastries is another advantage of living in the complex. Commercial premises are designed along the boulevard and on the first line near the metro station and public transport stops. This will create a sufficient flow of visitors – and, accordingly, there will be conditions for businesses of various formats: street retail, additional education facilities for children, office space, medical centers and beauty salons.

Features

First, let’s establish one indisputable fact.

Children of foreigners have the same rights and are subject to the same rules as children of Polish citizens ! No privileges or, conversely, discriminatory measures are allowed.

Preschool education system

Conditionally the whole system can be divided into three stages, depending on the age of the kids. Conditionally – since of the three, only one step is mandatory , the first two – at the request of the parents.

Much of what will be described below belongs to the category of relative information, i.e. these are situations from the series “as a rule”, “in most cases”, etc. Conditions may vary slightly in individual establishments.

Zlobek (nursery)

An analogue of the well-known nursery. Children are accepted from 1 year old, the maximum age is 3 years old. There are goons who are ready to accept babies from six months.

Przedszkole

Kindergarten directly. Recruitment is carried out from 3 years old, but some schools open a set from 2. 5.

Again, these two steps are optional but we recommend that you complete at least the przedszkole – this is a great opportunity for children to adapt and also language skills.

Zerówka

Preparatory group for school, the so-called “Zero class”. This annual education is required for all children studying in Poland . Therefore, if the child is 5-6 years old, then he must be enrolled in the Zeruvka, regardless of the queues, the workload of the institution and other parameters.

In Poland, the word zerówka is used not only to refer to Nulevka , but also any preparatory education: pre-lyceum, before entering a university, etc. Do not confuse!

Types of pre-school education in Poland

All types of kindergartens and nurseries are public and private. The level of education in all is quite high, but there are significant differences in terms of admission and payment.

The maximum time for a child to stay in a kindergarten / nursery , regardless of the type of institution, from 7:00 to 17:00, but you need to understand that:

1. Do not be afraid of this period , respectively, by 17:00 the working day is already over.
2. You can bring a child according to a free schedule , it is not necessary to choose the entire limit.
3. Compulsory classes are held in the morning . In the evening there is additional training, for which you often need to pay extra separately.

State

The number of such institutions is limited, so it is more difficult to enter them . In one group, up to 25 children can study under the supervision of 1 teacher and 1-2 two assistants (familiar to many “nannies”).

In most cases, public gardens are located in separate buildings with their own adjacent territory for walking and outdoor games. The premises are spacious, there are separate bedrooms, study rooms.

Compulsory naps in Poland are only allowed until the age of three. Further, it is replaced by “quiet time” – the time of reading fairy tales and rest.

Enrollment in public kindergartens is available from March. Theoretically until September, but in areas densely populated by young people, there may be no places left by this time.

Classes in such kindergartens are held from September to the end of June – then holidays. Training is partially free (more on the cost below). Meals in most cases are prepared in the institution itself and necessarily take into account the personal parameters of the child (for example, allergic reactions to a number of products).

Private

Classes in private kindergartens are held all year round . The number of such institutions significantly exceeds the state ones, and therefore they are more accessible. On average, in large cities, there are 3-5 private ones for one public przedszkole within walking distance. Training is paid. Admission is available throughout the year .

Private gardens are often located on the first floors of residential buildings, in specially equipped apartments. Because of this, the rooms are small, there are no separate bedrooms (children rest on retractable mattresses). The place for walking is also limited: at best, the garden has its own tiny courtyard (20-30 sq.m.), but there are cases when public areas or walks around the building are used.

As a rule, there are more classes than in state institutions, including foreign languages. It is not uncommon for children to study two at once (for example, English and Spanish). Training is provided both by the educators themselves and by invited specialists.

The educational program must be coordinated in advance , because some classes may be included in the previously announced amount, while others will require additional payment.

In the private gardens, great attention is paid to various excursions. It can be both ordinary walks in the park, and trips to museums, visits to fire stations, enterprises and other events.

Meals are not cooked in private gardens, they are brought from specialized kitchens. Food takes into account not only the personal parameters of the child, but also his tastes. Real life example: a child does not like mashed potatoes, and every time this dish is included in the group’s menu, they bring him another food.

The menu is known in advance. It can be sent to parents by e-mail for the coming week. It is possible to check or replace the dish.

There are no more than 5-7 children per teacher. Teachers can be in a group at the same time (when special attention is required) or change each other (during quieter hours).

How much do kindergartens for foreigners cost?

The cost depends not only on the type of education, but also on the set of additional services, region and other parameters. We will quote indicative prices , but they may vary depending on the kindergarten and nursery.

State

State institutions are free, but only when visiting from 7:00 to 13:00 . The free period is determined by the local authority, but cannot be less than 5 hours. Each further hour of stay is paid separately . For example, a full day (including meals) in a public garden in a large metropolitan area costs about PLN 180 per month.

If a full day was declared, and in fact the child was in the state kindergarten for less time (ill, picked up earlier, brought later), the cost will be reduced by the corresponding amount.

However, there may be additional costs . These are official payments and their size is different, but generally not exorbitant. Most often these expenses are one-time or occur once a year. These may include:

• payments to a “Garden Fund”;
• child insurance;
• additional lessons;
• in Nulevka may require payment of study guides.

The cost of materials for general classes (paints, plasticine, etc.) is included in the total cost. For additional lessons, consumables are purchased by parents separately.

Private

Because of the mandatory nature of the zerówka, it is rarely private. However, in some kindergartens this is practiced. In this case, the payment is assigned by the institution individually.

Nursery is more expensive przedszkole . Approximate rates in a large city:

• Żłobek: 550 – 700 (rarely up to 900) zlotys per month;
• Przedszkole: PLN 300 – 450.

Unfortunately, that’s not all! Meals are paid separately – it is 7 – 10 zł per day.

There is no charge for meals for the days/hours of absence, but the monthly payment is not reduced, even if the child is sick most of the month.

Separately required:

1. Funds for teaching materials and consumables.
2. Entry fee: A payment approximately equal to one month’s payment. It is appointed at a time or once a year and is not returned to parents.
3. Insurance.
4. Additional lessons.
5. Excursions, museums.

If additional classes require their own tools, uniforms (for example, a kimono for karate), they are purchased at the expense of parents and are not included in the cost of classes.

Who can arrange for a child free of charge? Legal support

In Poland, there are special groups for allergy sufferers, for children requiring special attention, for the rehabilitation of disabled people, etc. However, all parents pay for kindergartens and nurseries on a general basis . The opportunity to not pay for the garden provides a visit to public institutions from 7:00 to 13:00 (or other free period established by the region).

At the same time, state bodies may subsidize in part or in full the cost of being in the garden. This is considered in each case individually, and, to put it mildly, rarely applies to foreigners.

Instructions for Ukrainians on how to send a baby to a kindergarten

Depending on the type of institution, the technology of enrollment in them will also differ. In any case, you will need:

• parents’ passports;
• completed application form.

A rather controversial point is the PESEL of the child. Private gardens can accept without it. Officially, it is not required, but some cities have built an electronic registration system for state gardens in such a way that it is impossible to send an application without entering this code.

Private gardens

Enrollment in private establishments is extremely simple and takes place all year round. The sequence of actions is something like this:

1. Contact the kindergarten (managers often do this) to find out if there are vacancies. As a rule, there is no shortage of places.
2. Fill out the application form, correctly indicating all the data, the approximate schedule of the visit, additional classes and other information.
3. Pay the required fees.
4. Start attending kindergarten or nursery.

According to a similar scenario, enrollment in the “Zero Class” takes place, only it can be done not only in private, but also in state institutions.

State organizations

It is much more difficult to enter state preschool institutions than private ones due to lack of places.

Registration of a child starts from March and is carried out automatically through a specialized electronic computer system.

Step 1. Registration

Enter all the necessary data into the electronic registration system of a particular city (this will become an analogue of the questionnaire). One institution is selected at the request of the parents (the so-called “garden of the first choice”), but it is possible to indicate two additional , in case there are no places in the first.

The program makes a choice automatically, without the participation of officials, based on a point system. This was introduced several years ago in order to prevent corruption.

Precise data on the operation of the system is not distributed, but there is reason to believe that points are awarded for (including):

• The proximity of the kindergarten to the place of residence.
• The presence or absence of work for both parents. Preference is given to families in which both mother and father work, but cases when a child of a working father was taken in with a mother who is a housewife are not uncommon.
• The presence of other children studying in the same kindergarten.

Practice shows that in areas where the adult population predominantly resides (retirement and pre-retirement age), the chance of getting into a public kindergarten is much higher.

Each Voivodeship, city and garden may have its own peculiarities when considering applications. Our advice : before filling out the application, contact the institution directly for advice. Many institutions hold meetings for potential clients, open houses, etc.

Step 2. Registration

If the system gave a positive answer to the request, you need to come to the kindergarten with documents and settle the remaining nuances . This must be done before the start of the school year (September 1).

Step 3. Visit

All the formalities are taken into account, the documents are processed, you can start visiting the kindergarten. Teachers advise to adapt the child gradually , starting visits from a few hours a day, and slowly bringing them up to the required time.

The described technology is suitable only for the first admission to the kindergarten. Continued visitation in subsequent years is subject to a simple statement of intent written to the Director.

Are there Ukrainian and Russian kindergartens in Poland?

Regarding state institutions, the answer is unequivocal – no. As for the private ones, there are rumors that are not inferior in their objectivity to tales about the Bermuda Triangle or the invasion of UFOs. Who “saw it myself”, someone “knows for sure”, someone was told by a “familiar of acquaintances”.

To be honest, we have not been able to find any confirmed evidence of the existence of such gardens. However, this does not mean that in reality they do not exist.

If any of our readers know anything about kindergartens or nurseries in Russian or Ukrainian, please share the information in the comments to this article. We will be grateful.

Pros and cons of private and public institutions

Let’s summarize the parameters of public and private gardens to make it easier for parents to choose.

Parameter	State	Private
Availability (number of gardens)	Small	Large
Free places	Possible shortage	Almost always available
Entry	March to September	Year-round
Cost (PLN per month for general lessons)	0 to 200	300 to 900
Power supply	Included in total price	5 – 10 PLN per day
Hidden payments	No	Possible
Absence fee reduction	Yes	No
Premises	Spacious, with separate bedroom	Small, no furnished bedroom
Walking	On own equipped territory	In confined spaces or public places
Children per teacher	Up to 15 (rarely 25)	5 – 7
Availability of mandatory holidays	July, August	No

Children need to be adapted – that’s a fact. As you can see, the cost even in the most expensive establishment in Poland is at least comparable, and often much lower, than in many “free” establishments in some CIS countries.

Admission of children to Polish kindergartens and nurseries is not a difficult process, but it is better to know possible hidden fees in advance in order to plan the budget and avoid unnecessary expenses.

AriAnna

9 years away from the sea

Region: Kaluga region.

Family: daughter, four years old.

Position: cashier-operator.

Salary: about 40,000 R per hand.

Additional income: about 40,000 R, of which 9000 R – alimony, I do not want to indicate other sources.

Property: studio apartment.

Savings: there are several accounts, each with its own purpose. Now the goals are as follows: a down payment for a mortgage, the fifth anniversary of my daughter, vacation-2023 and an airbag. Yes, yes, I already have an account for next year’s vacation, and there is already money on it.

Monthly expenses: on average about 50,000 R. These expenses include utility bills, food, medicine, payment for kindergarten and clubs, clothing, entertainment, travel, and force majeure. There are no debts, loans, bad habits.

How many countries visited: in addition to Russia was in Turkey and Ukraine. In Russia, I was in Anapa, Gelendzhik and Novorossiysk, Tula, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Kaluga.

Travel style: before marriage, she spent 10-14 days at sea every year. I went to the Krasnodar Territory, Crimea or Turkey. As soon as I met my future, now ex-husband, I stopped traveling.

A year and a half has passed since the divorce – I am restoring my life anew. I make it interesting and eventful. This is my first big trip since 2013. During this time, there were two small trips to St. Petersburg for five days: the first one was with my husband in 2019year, the second – in May of this year with my mother.

The ideal vacation is 10-14 days at sea and 3-7 days offshore. I love sealing on the beach and having fun in the water park. My special love is boat trips.

I like to organize everything myself: spend hours surfing booking websites, choosing the most convenient flights, planning leisure activities. She did the same this time. On vacation, I try not to regret spending money, but my internal economist is always looking for a way to spend less: find accommodation where you don’t have to pay for a child, book tickets to a museum on the website, because it’s cheaper there. I save not at the expense of quality.

About the trip

Where and when we are going: to the village of Vityazevo near Anapa in early August. I haven’t been to the sea for nine years.

I chose this place because of the accessibility and sandy beaches. This is also Russia: if something happens, I can always seek medical help at a polyclinic. I’m so calm.

I planned so that I could carry a suitcase, a bag and a child at a minimum. We will be met everywhere and taken. I agreed with the boarding house where we will live, about the transfer. The ex-husband – in the text I will call him BM – will take us to the station and back. We have a good relationship. It cannot be otherwise: we have a common child.

Travel time: 10 days. And two days on the road.

Travel budget: RUB 85,000

How much was saved for the trip:

Travel companions: daughter. This is the child’s first trip. I think that it is necessary to first see her reaction to a different climate, heat, salt water, and then go to Egypt or Turkey.

Travel expectations: sea, sun, beach! I haven’t been to the south for a very long time, and my daughter has never been. I am waiting for my daughter’s emotions from the sea and the beach. We will have fun with her wherever they let her in. I realize that I won’t be able to relax 100%: I need to watch the child. So this is more of a vacation for her. I work a lot, and my daughter often visits her grandmothers. I want to spend these two weeks alone with her, chat, play. And just clear your head.

Preliminary expenses

Reservation of accommodation: 22 248 R. Of these, 21 600 R for nine nights in a boarding house and 648 R — commission in Sberbank, since I paid through the cash desk, the hotel sent me an invoice by mail. The daughter lives for free. The boarding house has a swimming pool, a bar, a children’s room, they promise animation. Breakfast included.

Transport: 9364 R. We go by train. I don’t like them, I wanted to fly by plane, but because of the closed airport in Anapa, I had to take the train. I chose the shortest flights. The train from Moscow to Anapa takes 21. 5 hours, back – 26 hours. I took a ticket. I didn’t pay for my daughter: if she doesn’t take a seat, then she rides for free. BM will take you from home to Moscow and back.

Indirect costs: 5064 R. These are expenses for sunscreen cosmetics, a new swimsuit for me, flip-flops for the beach for both of us, a transforming bag and something small. I call them indirect, because although they are connected with this trip, we will use things after it.

Food and entertainment on the train: 2250 R for food and 253 R for two Princess magazines. I borrowed a book for free from the library.

I am shocked by the amount of food I cooked for the trip. As a result, I didn’t take everything: we won’t eat so much. There is still no hot dish in the photo – baked chicken drumsticks and jacket potatoes, vegetables and fruits. Our entertainment on the train. I will give Princess magazines to my daughter already in car

Clothes for a photo shoot: 2080 R. We have a professional photo session at the seaside. I bought two identical T-shirts and a white skirt for my daughter. I have a skirt.

Gasoline for a trip to the station: 1000 R. BM will take us, but I refueled the car.

Expenses on the road: 875 R. I bought ice cream for my daughter at a long stop and marshmallows. I spent another 605 R in KFS on the way back in Moscow. I don’t describe the road in my diary: an ordinary trip in a reserved seat. Russian Railways let down a bit on the way from Moscow to Anapa. I bought a ticket for the Premium train, and we rode in an ordinary carriage. Not a problem, but a little unpleasant: nevertheless, I paid for a more expensive train, but it turned out as always. Other passengers were also waiting for the branded car. I took tickets back for a regular train – in a regular one and went.

The only interesting thing on the road is our fellow traveler from the top shelf on the way to Anapa. She asked to be allowed to sit on the bottom bunk, which was impossible since I was traveling with a child. I was sitting in one place, my daughter was nearby. This woman suggested that I take the child on my knees. Naturally, I refused her and I think that I was right. Offended by me, she left to fetch other passengers.

Day one, Thursday

Daily expenses: 5043 R

06:45. We wake up on the train. Mood is good. We wash and have breakfast: my daughter – fruit puree, I – 3 in 1 coffee and a bun with cherries.

When I get home, I usually go to weigh myself. I kept a calorie deficit for two months, because on June 1 I saw 70.9 kilograms on the scales and was dumbfounded. I have never been thin, with a height of 164 centimeters, I weighed an average of 60-64 kilograms. After the maternity hospital, there was a maximum of 72. I twisted the hoop, did exercises for the press, buttocks and legs. Now the weight is 60.2 kilograms, minus almost 11 in two months. I also measure my chest, waist, hips and stomach, and record the parameters in my diary.

But I will not keep track of calories on vacation. Decided to take a break. Of course, I won’t eat three throats, but I don’t intend to deny myself an extra pie if I really want to. When I get back, I’ll weigh myself again. I hope not many hiring. I will write about this at the end of the diary.

08:25. “I’m so happy, I’m so glad!” – we are arriving. The train was 20 minutes late. We are met by a car – I agreed in advance about the transfer with the Agata boarding house, where we will live. −450 R

09:15. Settle in promptly. I pay for the extension of the room on the first and last days – 2000 R, as well as the air tax from tourists – 240 R. I also agreed on the extension in advance, and it’s good: we are the only ones whose room is already ready. Other guests stay to wait for check-in time. −2240 R

I am not charged for my child’s breakfast. They suggest that we first look, maybe one is enough for two of us. Well, let’s see.

The room is excellent, everything is as in the photo on their website.

10:00. How glad I am to see the sea! Our boarding house has its own beach. All private beaches are now a little further from the water, not directly by the sea. There are awnings, sun loungers, toilets and security. You can leave your things, and go for a swim in the common area. This is right. I remember how in the early 2000s, many beaches were rented by private hotels and surrounded by fences that went straight into the sea. For those who arrived as a savage, there were small pieces of the coast, where everyone pushed.

We are going to a common beach closer to the water. There are a lot of people, but we are lucky: we find a place right by the sea. My daughter is delighted. The sea has gone to her. She plays with other children on the sand and swims near the shore. And I’m half lying on the bedspread and don’t take my eyes off her.

11:00. I want to eat, I suggest that my daughter finish and go towards the boarding house. None. I don’t want to drag her by force. I remember a pack of corners. As soon as I start eating them, my daughter says that she is also hungry. They sell corn – I take one for two, it’s big. Very tasty. The price is pleasantly surprising: lower than in the Moscow region, and much lower than I expected. −80 Р

12:00. It’s getting hot. We go to the room, take a shower, change clothes and go to the playground. It is right in front of the house where we live.

Oil painting: “Food and Sea”

12:45. We choose the dining room “Ekaterina” 2 minutes from our boarding house. The food is simple and homemade. What you need for lunch with small. I take for myself a young potato, a stuffed cutlet, compote and a pancake with jam. Daughter – pasta, meatballs, compote and cake. −530 Р

Ladybug is shown on TV. The child eats and looks, I can safely write a diary, answer my mother and BM to messages, contact the photographer and eat. The food is so-so.

13:30. We return to the room. On the way we buy water, Kinder Surprise and laundry soap. I want to wash the clothes I wore on the train. −208 Р

My daughter is watching a cartoon, I am unpacking my suitcase.

14:30. The suitcase is disassembled, things are washed. You can relax and chat with your mother – she wonders how her only granddaughter is doing.

15:00. Daughter sleeps, enjoy the silence. Moms will understand 🙂

16:40. The heat subsided – we are back on the beach. On the way, we buy four scoops of ice cream. The daughter asks to put them in a bowl. −100 R

We take corn again, cheaper elsewhere. −50 Р

On the beach, we realize that we forgot the sand kit. This is where the creamer came in handy. It’s good to be a child with imagination.

Daughter saw a praying mantis and poked it with a stick. But I don’t like insects

18:55. We leave the beach.

20:03. We have booked a table at the Yayem cafe to celebrate our arrival. I also booked from home: I googled a cafe in Vityazevo, I liked the place with the interior and the presence of a children’s corner. This is a pizzeria, and I love pizza and don’t like rolls and Asian food. We get by taxi. −168 R

On the spot I understand that I made the right decision. We order Hawaiian lemonade for me, a Strawberry cocktail for my daughter and Assorted pizza. I love visiting new places. We take half of the pizza with us. We leave 100 RUR for tea. -992 R

We go back by taxi, on the way we go for water. −225 Р

22:00. We go to sleep.

Second day, Friday

Daily expenses: 2115 R

07:05. We wake up half an hour before the alarm. Stuffy. There is air conditioning, but I did not turn it on because of the child. Mood to the fullest! Nobody canceled the vacuum and the bar. Breakfast at 08:30, there is time to do the laundry.

Daughter watches the Karusel channel and draws. I quickly finish washing and hang everything outside to dry, at the same time I take off my towel and swimwear. For some reason they didn’t dry out. We both rubbed our feet with new flip flops. Not critical, but unpleasant. Seal with adhesive tape.

08:30. For breakfast, we take Nesquik chocolate balls with milk, tea and meringue for my daughter, and a sandwich with butter and cheese, tea with cookies for me. There is a buffet, there is a lot of food, there is even hot food: chicken with rice.

09:30. It’s time for the sea. On the way to the beach, we buy a fake LOL doll. There are many cheap fakes on the market. It is convenient: it is inexpensive and the child does not whine. −100 R

In the next couple of hours, my daughter is active, I am a seal. The beach is clean, there is a wooden promenade, a free paddling pool is fenced in the water. We rest around it. The sea is shallow, you can move 15-20 meters from the shore, and the water will not be higher than the chest, but the first ten meters in general on the ass. The most for relaxing with small ones.

There are a lot of children. It’s good: mine always has someone to play with and not torment me much 🙂 What a thrill it is just to lie on the beach, bask in the sun, drink pina colada and watch your child have fun, how happy she is. −300 Р

Vityazevsky landscape. The beach we went to

11:00. My daughter has a snack of corn. I correspond with my friends. −80 R

12:15. We ride banana. Very light rides, no flipping. A little scary at first, then okay. Daughter likes it. By the way, you don’t have to pay for it, only 500 R for me. At the exit from the beach we buy kvass. −550 R

13:40. For lunch we go to another canteen. It tastes better here. We take one borscht for two, dumplings for my daughter, mashed potatoes with a cutlet for me, compote. −485 R

14:00. We return to the room, eat chocolates and watch a cartoon. Then quiet time. I turn on the condo at +25 °C.

17:15. This is what we significantly missed. There were two alarm clocks, I turned both off in the middle of the night. The daughter fell off the bed, but everything is fine, she didn’t hit, she almost didn’t even wake up. I have a little trouble: my shoulders and legs burned a little, although I used suntan oil and after cream. I’ll try my daughter’s SPF 50.

There are a million messages in WhatsApp from everyone, I answer.

18:30. We reach the beach, and it’s time to return to the mini-disco. We walked for a long time because of a couple of lines: my daughter wanted corn and jump on a trampoline. We’ll stay on the beach for half an hour – and back. −300 Р

In the evening greenery floats in the water, but not much. I consider it normal. This is the sea, not a pool, there should be life there.

19:20. Good luck with the mini disco. It’s cool that the boarding house entertains our children. We buy cakes on the way. −300 Р

So far I have found only one minus in Vityazevo: there are almost no trash cans. There is only at the entrance to the beach and in the boarding house – I have not seen it again. At the same time, the streets are very clean, although there are a lot of people. We live in the very center, it is lively here: there are many drinking establishments, entertainment, shops with souvenirs and clothes.

Hooray, things are finally dry. While my daughter is having fun, I take everything off the dryer.

At the mini-disco, the daughter found herself a new fiancé. It’s time to take a master class from her.

Mini disco in the boarding house

20:10. We wash and have dinner: yesterday’s pizza, cakes, a milkshake for my daughter, 3 in 1 coffee for me. Then we watch cartoons. I turn on the air conditioner for half an hour or an hour before going to bed. It is located just fine. The cold hits the wall, only a pleasant coolness reaches us.

22:05. I put my daughter to sleep. Another beautiful day has passed, only my red back upsets. Lying on it hurts. Because of the three-hour quiet hour, I can’t fall asleep at all. I am reading the book “California Demon” from the library.

01:50. Now I sleep too.

Third day, Saturday

Daily expenses: 5371 R

06:57. We wake up. My back hurts, I burned out notably. Today, according to the plan, the water park. It opens at 10:00, there is a lot of time.

08:00. We go out to play on the playground before breakfast. I want to take things off the dryer, but they are wet again. Even swimwear doesn’t dry overnight.

08:35. For breakfast we take me black coffee, a casserole, a sandwich with butter and cheese. Daughter – tea, Nesquik balls with milk and boiled sausage. The casserole is very tasty and juicy. I love this one. Then we play on the playground.

Playground near our building. He is in the background on the left. To the right is the canteen

10:01. We are among the first to enter the water park, we manage to take a sun lounger near the children’s area under a canopy, which is important for my burnt back. I don’t pay for my daughter: children up to 105 centimeters are free. On the way we bought a badge for 50 R. −1850 R

I want to lie down, but every minute my daughter pulls me to ride with her.

11:00. Snack: donuts and ice cream. −230 R

12:00. The foam party for children begins. Such a huge amount of foam is very cool. Children are delighted, adults too. Got a photo. 10 minutes before the party, they took another ice cream. Raspberry for me, watermelon flavor for my daughter. −160 Р

We both like the water park. I also rode the children’s slide with my daughter.

13:00. The daughter burst into tears – she says that she hit her head and elbow. I look at her. No bumps, no scratches. But still we are going home. The sun is at its zenith, the hottest: +32 ° С. On the way to lunch, we buy corn and lemonade each. We decide to eat in the room and immediately go to bed. −155 R

14:07. We eat what we bought. I’m still eating a banana – it’s from the train. Quiet hour.

16:40. We wake up. My daughter doesn’t want to go to the beach. It fails to persuade. I’m going to the pool. My daughter is an excellent swimmer in a vest. At first we splash around, I support her, but she quickly learns herself. Good girl.

18:00. I’m going to dinner. I really want barbecue, but instead of dinner we find a lost child. He doesn’t cry, he just walks down the street. Me and two other women call the police. While we wait, we feed him, the boy is very thirsty and hungry. He shows on his fingers that he is two years old. I buy him three juices and a sausage in dough. The daughter somehow wins him over, hugs him. The police are still not coming, I buy juice and my own sausage. −350 R

18:45. We agree with the women that they will continue to wait, and we will go. They called the police, we are not really needed there. It turned out that there was no branch in Vityazevo, the policemen were coming from Anapa.

19:00. I’m going to the barbecue. I take a fried chicken leg with cheese sauce for my daughter, a pork kebab for myself, and both compote and a wheat tortilla. −626 Р

On the way back we buy two churchkhelas. I really like it, but my daughter did not appreciate it. −200 R

We jump into the room because my daughter wants to go to the toilet, and just in case I take two pancreatin tablets. A couple of years ago I was diagnosed with an ulcer. After treatment, she did not bother me, but if such fat feasts arise, then I insure myself.

19:45. We will spend the evening at the amusement park. There you need to buy a discount card for 50 R, deposit any amount on it and pay with it in the park. We bring in 1050 R. -1100 R

But for some attractions you need to pay separately. As I understand it, they are kept by tenants inside the park. On the map we visit a Ferris wheel, a train and a carousel. Separately, the daughter catches a fish for 300 R and we get a gift – a flashlight. We also go to the “Upside Down House” for 350 R. In the house I pay only for myself, my daughter goes in for free. But the house is so-so, covered in dust and cobwebs. −650 Р

There is still money left on the park map, so let’s go there again. On the way, we go to the Mix Price store, take a set of adhesive plasters. −50 Р

22:00. We take a shower, have a snack, it’s time for my daughter to sleep. I read a little, I still think I want to drink wine 🙂

Fourth day, Sunday

Daily expenses: 6447 Р

07:15. Good morning, new day. Today we have up to +33 °С. It’s hot. While my daughter is watching a cartoon, I rinse and hang up yesterday’s laundry to dry. I remember that I completely forgot about the vacuum and the bar, I didn’t do it yesterday. I do.

08:30. Breakfast. I have a sandwich with butter and sausage, tea with waffles. My daughter has Nesquik with milk and an omelet with sour cream. She had a good appetite here. Although she is already four, there is a beginning itself only here. I hope we will transfer this habit to everyday life. At home, unfortunately, I often spoon-fed her, otherwise she would sit over the plate for an hour, and my nerves would not last so long. This is wrong, but so far so.

09:40. We go to the beach, on the way we buy a mouse in cheese and take our place near the children’s area. −100 R

Mouse in cheese

10:20. Daughter wants to go to the toilet. Let’s go look. Found in the beach area of ​​our boarding house, but it is locked. They gave me the key to it after checking my bracelet. C – service. On the way back we buy ice cream. −140 R

11:10. Today is very windy, even hung a yellow flag of danger. There is a lot of debris because of the wind. Packages of chips, ice cream, and cups fly across the beach. And of course, sand that gets into the eyes and hair. We decide that there is enough beach for today.

12:30. For lunch we go to the dining room “Marseille”. Assortment pleases, a lot of everything. We take borscht, salad with chicken and prunes, chicken cutlet with cheese sauce, cheesecake and compote. Just one serving, except compote, is enough for us. −638 R

14:00. My daughter has a quiet hour. I drink 3 in 1 coffee, eat churchkhela and write to the agency about tomorrow’s photo shoot. Found them on Avito. I looked at the work on the official website, booked a date. The price with a 10% discount is 2690 R per hour. I will pay after the photo shoot. I saw an advertisement on the beach – an hour there already costs 4000 R.

I will also coordinate everything with the make-up artist, also from Avito. Her services cost 1,500 R plus 500 R for a home visit. I’m just waiting for tomorrow. I have long wanted a photo shoot “Mom and Daughter”. And on the sea – just super.

Then I read a romance novel from the Internet. Periodically I drive an annoying fly from my daughter. I got tired of crawling over the child. And after all, do not beat, such an infection.

15:50. The alarm clock is ringing. I always put it on: if I fall asleep with the child, we can sleep for three hours or more. The wind is still strong, the child does not want to go to the beach. We decide to go to Anapa.

16:30. The bus stops near the boarding house. We were lucky: there were few people, we took a place near the window. Then a full salon is packed, people stand close. We reach the Nemo Dolphinarium. −50 Р

5:05 pm. We bought a ticket to the dolphinarium for Tuesday for 1200 R and a general ticket to the oceanarium and penguinarium for 800 R today. I don’t pay for my daughter: children under five years old go free. −2000 Р

The oceanarium is so-so, I saw much better, for example, in St. Petersburg and Moscow. There are just a few aquariums right there – and that’s it, there is neither a tunnel nor a waterfall. A penguinarium is generally one penguin behind glass. Not worth your money. But the daughter came in, especially the penguin, they really became friends: the daughter pressed her hands to the glass, and he kept swimming up from that side.

They also tried to sell us our photo near the aquarium, magnets, a frame and something else. I didn’t take it: it’s expensive and the quality of the photo is not very good. I also take pictures like that, and for free. At the exit, we buy ice cream for 120 R. Did I say something about prices at the beginning? What are they pleasantly low? I take my words back. −120 Р

Oh my God, what a man 🙂 Exhibit in the oceanarium

17:45. I want to withdraw cash: almost everywhere they ask for it or a transfer. So cash is worth its weight in gold. My money is mostly on the Home Loan card. I find the address of an ATM in Yandex, we go there by bus. We buy kvass on the way. −65 R

Bingo, today is definitely my day. On Sundays, Khomyak offices are closed, but the ATM is set outside and I can withdraw money. And after me, the ATM ran out of small bills.

18:52. Since I’m in Anapa, it’s worth stopping by to buy a wine in the Abrau-Dyurso branded boutique. Of course, he is also in Moscow. But wine from Anapa is already a souvenir. After waiting for the bus for about twenty minutes, we call a taxi. −151 Р

I really liked this building. As I understand it, there are offices on the first floor, and apartments above. It houses the Abrau-Durso boutique

19:15. I buy two bottles of wine. The girl-seller helps with the choice. I want to take a red sweet for my mother, but it is not available, I take a semi-sweet one. And mother-in-law – white dry. At the price I planned 1000-1200 R per bottle. But it turned out even cheaper. −1666 R

I rarely drink and I don’t understand alcohol, so I trusted the expert. They also give me a discount on sweets in a nearby boutique. I go there to take a look, but somehow they buy three packs of marmalade and marshmallows by themselves. −928 R

A new check gives a discount in the cosmetics department. My daughter, who is tired of waiting, also saves me from spending money there. We’re leaving.

Vinishko for gifts

19:45. My daughter has a character, and not the most pleasant. As soon as I show gentleness to her, she sits on her neck. I spoiled her. A little something she doesn’t like – whining and tantrums at once. In general, the evening ended with a slap on the pope and a threat to put me in a corner. After that, she calmed down.

We take a short walk along the Anapa embankment, watch the sunset over the sea, take pictures. The embankment is very beautiful. Someone told me that it was made recently. It is long, wide, there is a path for cyclists. There is a splendid view of the sea and sunset. I really like walking here.

We are going back to Vityazevo by taxi. −449 Р

Sunset over the sea. We stood and watched the sun go down. This happens very quickly. Literally 7-8 minutes

20:55. We go for sausages in dough for my daughter and a muffin for me. Only now I understand that my child has practically not eaten since lunch. Woe-mother, damn it. But I bought a booze, albeit as a gift. −140 Р

My daughter is quickly in the room, I turn on the cartoon, I give milk and sausages in dough. Take a shower by yourself, after tea with a muffin and biscuits.

22:20. Daughter sleeps. I am reading.

00:00. Sleep.

Day five, Monday

Daily expenses: 1732 R

05:00. Something we both sleep badly. My daughter complains that her left ear hurts. I press and pull it to check for otitis media. Doesn’t whine, so it’s not otitis media.

I know very well what otitis is. I got sick at the age of 18 due to stupidity: I went without a hat in the winter to the university and back on foot. Then for the first time I decided to lose weight and used every opportunity for activity. So I got active – my ear blew out. I remember how I was lying on the sofa, afraid to move, so as not to twitch my ear, and crying quietly.

Just in case, I bury my daughter in both ears. Today is a photo session, but I decide to cancel it. Very uncomfortable in front of the makeup artist and photographer. People, too, plan their time. I am writing them an apology, explaining the situation.

I already see comments that I should worry about my daughter first and not apologize to contractors. I will answer: my daughter has a character, she is also an actress. I pulled my ear and she didn’t cry. And with otitis media, you can’t touch the ear. It hurts like hell. I believe that my ear hurts, but I don’t dismiss the option that my daughter is exaggerating. Therefore, I ask you to reschedule the photo session. I hope they make concessions. I’ll watch my daughter for a day or two, and then we’ll see.

06:30. My daughter is sleeping, I am not. Very upset. I eat pudding. Thinking about what to do during the day. We will not go to the sea, in the first half of the day for sure. I found a cinema not far from us, I’ll call later and check the screenings.

08:15. I wake up – it turns out that I fell asleep reading a book. Messages came from a make-up artist and a photographer, both wishing for recovery. I apologize again.

I conclude that my daughter needs a more light program, and not a minute-by-minute one. She was not used to such a busy schedule. In ordinary life, she has nothing serious yet. She goes to the garden and went to gymnastics until May. We could have skipped the garden if we didn’t want to go. They tried not to miss gymnastics, but it also happened. Grandmothers pamper her. She is the only one with us.

My daughter woke up and coughed a little. I give the medicine that I took from home.

09:25. We have breakfast in the canteen: Nesquik with milk, scrambled eggs with sausage, a sandwich with butter and cheese, coffee for me.

10:00. We go out for a walk. My daughter does not complain about her ear, but once again I dig in and put on a scarf from the sun instead of a cap: it covers her ears. We are looking for a cinema, we do not find it, and no one knows about it.

On the way, we buy another little nonsense for our daughter, a keychain and souvenirs for our familiar children – rulers with names. −230 Р

Daughter rides on the attraction “Horses”. We pay from the park card. We bought the most expensive popcorn in my life – 250 R for an average glass. The margin is skyrocketing. At the market we take a quarter of watermelon, nectarines, a small Ossetian cheese pie, baklava. −942 R

We are going to have dinner in the room. Before dinner, we look into the children’s room. She is so-so: there are few toys, almost all are broken.

Name rulers as a gift

12:15. We have lunch – and sleep. We play a little before going to bed, put it in my ears again and give medicine.

4:15 pm. We wake up. The daughter is cheerful, but it’s like they drove over me with an asphalt paver. I have a very hard time getting up after a nap. I feed my daughter pudding.

17:00. We are on the beach. We won’t swim, we’ll just hang out on the shore. On the way, we bought corn and potatoes on a skewer and a ball on a string for my daughter, which broke off after an hour. −320 Р

18:00. I collect shells for my mother. She needs them for indoor flowers. The daughter plays with the little girl in Easter cakes. I buy a tube with boiled condensed milk. −100 R

19:15. We leave the beach. The weather is very comfortable: there is no strong wind, on the contrary, a pleasant breeze, the sun is no longer scorching. On the way, we take two milkshakes in a mini-market. −90 R

19:35. In the boarding house, my daughter wants to play ball and run. And I am writing these lines. I meet and chat with a girl. She is here with her husband and daughter, who is also four. They rested in Anapa five years ago, they say that she has changed for the better. We discuss kindergartens, barbecue and wine.

21:15. We wash up, the daughter does not want to have dinner after popcorn and milkshake. And I bought myself a glass of red dry at a local bar. I’ll put the child down and get high in splendid solitude. −50 Р

I haven’t drunk a draft wine in a plastic cup for a hundred years. I remembered my 20 years 🙂

21:45. The daughter does not sleep, watches a cartoon and whines – she hit her little finger on a chair. I have a short answer: you will jump less. Then I pity her, kiss her. Calms down and eats watermelon. I cut it into small, seedless pieces and she eats it with a fork. For her four, she perfectly wields a fork and knife. Too bad it’s rare at home.

I could not resist and have dinner with a glass of wine, Ossetian pie, sausage, and baklava for dessert.

22:35. The wine didn’t come in. I drank half and poured out the rest. I correspond with my mother and BM. Mom also asks her to buy draft wine. And BM, I throw off pictures of my daughter, we exchange a couple of phrases. I put it in my daughter’s ears and give cough syrup.

23:00. My daughter is sleeping, I am reading.

00:30. Sleep.

Day six, Tuesday

Daily expenses: 3610 R

07:50. Woke up, hugged, fooled around, washed. Standard morning.

08:30. Breakfast. My daughter has the same Nesquik, she also ate half cutlets and glazed cheese. I have coffee, a sandwich, cookies.

Our breakfast. There were also vegetables, buckwheat with gravy, a couple of types of cookies, another type of dry breakfast, squash caviar

09:40. We come to the beach. On the way we play darts, they need to hit the balloons. Daughter wins slime. −200 Р

Strong wind again, the sea is restless. My back stopped hurting, but small blisters appeared – the skin will come off. I burned out considerably.

10:20. We buy a small glass of multi-colored popcorn and a huge donut. −200 R

11:00 am. We leave the beach, on the way we take more nominal rulers. −170 R

12:00. We swim in the pool. My daughter likes it more than the sea. The wind is terrible. We go to the children’s room. Before that, we change into things in which we will go to the dolphinarium. My daughter is playing, I correspond with the photographer and makeup artist, send new pictures to my grandmothers.

Swimming pool in our boarding house

12:50. We manage to reschedule the photo shoot for Friday. They ask for an advance payment. The makeup artist is silent. −500 R

13:15. Again we go to the dining room “Marseille”. It’s delicious here. You can only pay in cash or by transfer. We take pasta with chicken skewers for our daughter, kebab and salad with prunes for me. We have water with us, sweet compotes do not come in. −454 R

2:30 pm. We drive for a long time to the dolphinarium. −50 R

Looking through the window I see a lot of unfinished work: either the construction is still going on, or it is frozen. This is my second time in Vityazevo, the first time was in 2010. Here, every piece of land is used as a hotel or cafe. Most hotels build windows to windows. Not every boarding house can boast of a large territory, like ours.

15:00. The performance begins with an advertisement for a burger joint. The program is only 40 minutes long. Not bad, but there is no wow effect. I guess I just grew up. Dolphins, of course, class. At the end of the show, they offer to take a picture with them for 1000 R. There was a queue. There is no desire to stand for an hour, and if the quality is like in the oceanarium, then these photos are definitely not worth a thing.

4:15 pm. We go by bus to eat cakes at Natalia Volkonskaya’s confectionery house. −40 Р

Very beautiful place, pleasant interior. Cleanliness catches your eye, the toilet is sterile. I even took a picture there. The cakes are beautiful and delicious.

In a cafe, I realize that I’m tired of purely children’s recreation. I would gladly sit here with a friend or mother. I order us a cake, a juice for my daughter, I order raf coffee with lavender, it’s so-so. −1070 R

17:40. We don’t know what to do, we randomly go to the cinema. Upcoming cartoon at 19:00 – “Samurai Dog”. Wait a long time. We go to the trampoline, buy two small toys for 10 R in the machine. −250 R

18:40. Let’s go home. On the way, we go to Magnit for water and wet wipes. −60 Р

We go to Vityazevo by bus. They hardly waited and almost sat: the driver allowed me to sit on the mat between the front seats. −120 R

I have no complaints about transport here. Buses and minibuses run frequently and drive carefully. There are a lot of people, but it doesn’t bother me. I can close my eyes to a lot of things, I don’t notice any inconvenience or rudeness, it’s easy for me. The negative passes me by without affecting me.

19:30. We got there. We go to the boarding house along the new street, where they cook seafood on the grill. I take two langoustines and a red fish. Daughter – potatoes on a skewer. −446 Р

We also buy adhesive plasters. −50 Р

21:00. Daughter runs on the playground with a new girlfriend. I drink wine with yesterday’s friend and her husband. I was treated to very tasty wine and advised where to buy it. We must look there.

23:00. The girls eat French fries. The daughter is tired and asks to sleep. I put it down in a matter of minutes and return to the table.

We chat sincerely about daughters, food and wine. We exchange numbers and agree to meet at home. As it turned out, we live close to each other.

00:30. The guys are leaving tomorrow, and we go to bed. The make-up artist confirms the appointment on Friday. Hooray!

Seventh day, Wednesday

Daily expenses: 3175 R

07:00. We wake up. The daughter is kind of drooping. I check the temperature – + 37.7 ° C. Where? We don’t eat ice cream and cold, we’ve got our ears instilled — we don’t complain. Yesterday they said that many children here have a temperature of about +37 °C. Everyone sins with acclimatization. And for everyone it started not in the first days, but in the middle of the vacation.

I give antipyretics. I know that they don’t give it with such a temperature, but here I make an exception.

08:30. The temperature has dropped. My daughter does not want to go to the sea, nor does she want to go to the boat. Let’s go have breakfast. Everything is as usual: Nesquik and boiled sausage for her, coffee, sandwich and cookies for me. I take the boiled egg with me.

We started to have breakfast for health, and we finish as always: I ate two pieces of sausage, half of my sandwich, milk from Nesquik. Then hysteria, wants nothing. This is the last straw of my patience. I punish her, I deprive her of cartoons.

09:00. In the room, my daughter eats a watermelon and finishes her milkshake. We are not going to the beach. Temperature +35.9 °C. We decide to go to sleep. She didn’t get enough sleep: she went to bed late, got up early. And I remember that I completely forgot about the morning plank and vacuum. I did it twice in a week. I’ll put it off until home so that my conscience does not gnaw.

12:40. We wake up. I chat with my mother, complain about the well-being and whims of the child. Mom says she’s just tired. My daughter has no temperature, but neither does her appetite.

In the work chat, the results of work for July and information on bonuses are received. We have a very developed bonus system: a lot of small bonuses and salary. As my grandfather would say, “each step costs a ruble.” Not all awards will be 100% received.

I noticed a long time ago: they turned on the economy mode at work – at least a little, but they will cut it. Half of the employees quit, their duties were assigned to us and offered to pay extra, while taking a bite out of other bonuses. The result is almost the same, only more work. I try not to count in advance on something that is not there. I’ll get the money and then I’ll decide where to spend it.

13:30. We go to Marseille for lunch. Daughter chicken soup, two sausages with ketchup, apple juice. I’ll have herring under a fur coat and potatoes with bacon. −505 R

On the way we take a set of air plasticine. −100 R

14:20. We reach a place where they sell homemade wine recommended yesterday. Hard to find, not even a sign. We buy red sweets that we drank in the evening. I’ll take my mom. −400 R

15:00. My daughter asks to go to the pool, there are a lot of children there now. Let’s go. She swims in a vest by herself. I look after her, take her out a couple of times to warm up.

Buying an apple milkshake. −200 Р

In an hour we go to the room. My skin started to peel off on my back. An unpleasant sight. I am like a snake: I take off the old skin so that the new one appears.

17:10. I’m going to the sea. Before going out, my daughter eats a boiled egg and finishes her milkshake. I finish my watermelon and baklava.

18:10. We ride on a ship on the Black Sea. The motor ship is the largest of those that were there. I would love to ride on a yacht with a breeze, but I’m afraid that my daughter will get sick. I pay only for myself, my daughter is free. −1000 Р

There are a lot of people. We are sitting on the upper deck, taking a lot of beautiful pictures. I take chips. −180

19:10. We go to the coast. Sea trips are my thing. I love them with all my heart. We pick up a lot of shells on the shore.

On the way home we buy kvass and Mojito lemonade – 120 R, kebab with sauce – 156 R, oriental sweets – 514 R. -790 R

20:30. In a boarding house, a quest for children. Daughter joins. Lemonade does not look like a mojito, it is rather lemony, with sourness. What you need in the heat.

21:15. I rinsed my daughter and myself, we sit down to have dinner. She doesn’t eat much yet. He drinks kvass and eats chips. I don’t have the strength to force her. The vacation will end soon, and we will return to a normal diet and regimen. She usually has soup every day. In the morning, porridge, less often scrambled eggs or sausages. And I don’t eat so many sweets. I lost control on vacation. I love it very much, especially oriental sweets, so I sold out.

10:40 pm. We are playing air plasticine that we bought today. It is cool, does not stick to hands or textiles. Sold in a package without labels, the colors are arranged in zip bags for coins. You have to buy with you. The price is ridiculous, only 100 R.

23:40. After “Well, wait a minute!” I finally put her to bed. Temperatures, thank God, no. I’ll read a little and sleep too.

Day eight, Thursday

Daily expenses: 3399 R

05:50. I wake up from the fact that my daughter is shaking like an aspen leaf. She says that she is cold, lies open. I cover her with a blanket and a bedspread. Temperature +38.2 °C. Nightmare. Everything was fine last night.

I give medicine. I dilute rehydron so that there is no dehydration. To say that I’m upset is to say nothing. Neither I nor my brother had this in childhood. We went to the sea without adventures. True, I went for the first time at the age of ten, and my brother at the age of three, and everything is fine.

While my daughter is sleeping, I am writing to my mother and godfather. Maybe they will suggest. I’m canceling my photo session. I won’t get my deposit back. Don’t worry, I understand everything.

08:45. My daughter’s temperature either drops or rises. I want to call an ambulance, but the reception advises me to go to the hospital myself. We go by taxi in 10 minutes. There are few people, but all with children. Everyone has the same symptoms: fever, cough. −129P

09:15. Went to the doctor. The diagnosis is purulent tonsillitis, the initial stage. The main thing is to start treatment immediately. They prescribed medicines. We go back by taxi. −336 R

09:45. I leave my daughter under supervision in the children’s room. I manage to take her breakfast.

10:15. To buy all the medicines, I had to go around three pharmacies. Panavir was not found. They said it would be after lunch. We agreed to put it off. −1466 Р

She also popped into the bakery. I bought myself meat in pita bread, my daughter bought two sausages in dough. −280 Р

10:30 am. My daughter is hungry, she eats scrambled eggs, cheese, meringue. She takes medicine and plays with plasticine. I correspond with my mother and godfather. I eat Nesquik with milk – my daughter and I swapped breakfasts.

11:20. I measure the temperature. I’m even afraid to jinx it – +36.6 °C. We watch “Barboskins” and lie on the bed. I believe in the power of the universe, that it protects and informs us, so I think that all this has something to do with the photo session. For the first time in front of her, her daughter’s ear hurt, and now.

Things bought for a photo will come in handy – we will take a picture in our hometown. It’s a pity that I’ll have to spend the last few days in my room and get treated. But we managed to visit the dolphinarium, rides, ride a boat – everything is not so bad. I’m even a little glad to take a break from the beach and the heat. The only thing that makes me sad is that my daughter got sick.

12:15. Daughter eats boiled sausage. The temperature is stable. I eat sweet sherbet with grief.

My tea party. Staged photo, sitting inside four walls all day is boring

12:30. It’s raining. In such weather, you can sit at home. I go to the dining room of the boarding house to see what will be for dinner. Set meals are served here. Pea soup with croutons, my daughter is unlikely to. As soon as I go for medicine, I will buy soup in another canteen. Corresponding with BM.

13:30. Quiet hour.

15:20. We wake up. I’m trying to feed my daughter to give her medicine. Doesn’t want to. The temperature is again +37.7 °C.

15:55. Hooray! The daughter ate fruit puree and took medicine. I’m going for Panavir. I hope they brought it. The daughter will stay in the children’s room under supervision for now.

I buy medicine, groceries at Magnit, some of them for the journey home, sweets at the market, soup. −1188 R

17:15. I come back, feed my daughter with soup and give medicine.

17:40. I give my princess the second magazine “Princess”. The gift is a crown. Leafing through the magazine and doing tasks.

“Princess” and Queen’s Crown

18:20. I drink tea with oriental sweets. The daughter eats soup and drinks milk.

20:00. We watch movies on TV and sculpt from plasticine. Lara Croft is on STS. I don’t like Jolie, but she is good in this film. I’m watching a movie on TV for the first time in several years. The daughter eats Miracle curd and drinks milk.

21:25. I feed my daughter with the second cottage cheese. She loves him very much.

22:30. Watched the movie. Quickly my daughter, I wash myself. We measure the temperature – +36.3 ° C, take medication. We fool around before going to bed, my daughter does not give me a pillow, but I beg with kisses.

23:00. Everyone is sleeping, while I read. Hard day. I really want black coffee without sugar, but I only have tea. While washing, I realized that I missed the bathroom. There is only a shower in the boarding house. My mood dropped, but there are reasons for that.

23:25. I read and eat gummies. For some reason, I eat all sorts of rubbish all day long. It’s out of boredom. My problem: if there is nothing to do, I feel like chewing, even if I’m not hungry.

01:00. Sleep.

Afterword

We spent the remaining day and a half in the same way: we walked around Vityazev, I was treating my daughter. Her temperature did not rise any more. Finally, we went on rides, on the last day we went to say goodbye to the sea: we didn’t swim, we sat on the shore. We bought magnets and sweets as a gift. I don’t like to give souvenirs, at most magnets. I bring what you can eat or drink.

My vacation passed quickly. On the one hand, I’m a little tired of the children’s vacation, on the other hand, I would stay here again. I really wanted to go somewhere without a child, with a girlfriend, for example: hang out, dance. But in general it was great: new emotions, entertainment, the sea. Too bad my daughter got sick. At home, we went with her to our pediatrician – she said that everything was fine, and discharged us to kindergarten.

I liked Vityazevo, I had already been there and knew where I was going. I love the village for its sandy beaches and shallow sea. I liked the boarding house very much – the most with children. The only bad thing is that the pool is not heated and all the toys in the children’s room are broken.

During my vacation, I gained as much as 3 kilograms, which is a whole kilogram more than I mentally allowed myself. I counted calories again and did exercises. After a couple of weeks, she threw everything off, again 61 kilograms. Already planning my next vacation. I want to go to Sochi: I have never been there. But I don’t guess: in a situation like in our country and in the world, you can’t guess. And in September, I hope to get out with a friend for an adult vacation in Tula for the weekend and dance.

Thank you for reading my diary. I hope it wasn’t deadly boring.

, they didn’t do something … ”: who is responsible for the death of 15-year-old Arseny? | Stories

Arseniy Afonasenkov was a kind and ordinary 15-year-old teenager – he studied at school and communicated with his peers. But on September 4 of this year, Arseny’s heart stopped. The doctors’ diagnosis is systemic lupus erythematosus. The boy’s mother is sure that the doctors missed something in his treatment…

It all started in March 2021

In March last year, Arseniy was sent to the infectious diseases department of the Krasnoturyinsky children’s hospital, as the boy was diagnosed with lyme borreliosis, a natural focal disease transmitted by ticks. It is characterized by damage to the skin, joints, nervous and cardiovascular systems and often takes a chronic, relapsing course. Later, Arseniy’s mother provided a certificate that giardiasis had not been confirmed and that all this time Arseny’s treatment had been incorrect. In May, he was sent for treatment to Yekaterinburg.

– In Yekaterinburg, after some time, they wanted to discharge us, but Arseniy was in a bad condition. It was difficult for him to walk,” says Natalya, mother of 15-year-old Arseniy. – I don’t know what he was treated for, but when Arseniy called me and said that he couldn’t walk, I called the Ministry of Health. Oleg Averyanov contacted me there. I explained to him that my child is getting worse and worse …

On June 4, Arseniy was taken away by the National Medical Research Center for Children’s Health in Moscow. The boy passed the tests and then he was diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus, a chronic autoimmune disease.

– A doctor in Moscow who dealt with Arseniy told me that I should not worry, all autoimmune diseases are treated the same way. They will give Arseniy everything he needs to recover,” recalls Natalya Afonasenkova. – Although we never did a kidney biopsy to confirm or refute this diagnosis.

Arseniy was discharged on July 9, 2021. I managed to stay at home for only a week, as the tests were getting worse and the teenager had to go to the Yekaterinburg hospital again.

– On September 14, we were again transferred to Moscow. Arseniy was treated there, a lot of things were dripped, but I don’t know if they gave him the right drugs or the wrong ones. I can’t judge. I know that antibiotics were dripping and something for immunity. Then for some time Arseniy was treated for pneumonia. Where it came from, I don’t know. We were in the hospital for a long time…

Arseny was transferred to Yekaterinburg just before the New Year, December 27th. But not because of the improvement in well-being – the New Year holidays began in the Moscow hospital. In our regional hospital, the boy was put in intensive care alone. It was only on January 11 of this year that the patient was transferred back to Moscow. Arseniy was treated until March.

– Arseny felt like normal. We were treated until March, and then transferred to Yekaterinburg with a further discharge to the house. But already in the hospital, all his tests deteriorated again, and Moscow took us back three weeks later. They were treated there, it got better, the squirrel rose … As a result, we were discharged on June 26. We already came home then, made a passport and celebrated his 15th birthday on July 16, – says Arseniy’s mother.

The teenager did not manage to stay with his loved ones for a long time, because new pains on the right side of his chest forced him to return to the hospital. So, already in the morning 19August Arseniy and his mother flew to Moscow. According to Natalya, at that time, the tests were good and showed only a “minor pneumothorax” – a pathological accumulation of air in the pleural cavity, leading to a violation of the ventilation function of the lungs and gas exchange during breathing. Arseniy was supposed to be discharged a week later, on August 26, but he only got worse – the saturation (a measure of blood oxygen saturation) dropped and the examination showed damage to the lungs. Also, according to Natalia, on August 31, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (a type of gram-negative rod-shaped bacteria, the causative agent of nosocomial infections in humans) was found in Arseniy’s blood. It is not clear how it was brought into the boy’s body. But it is known that the bacterium is transmitted more often through care items and the hands of personnel, by airborne droplets or food.

– On August 19, we were already in Moscow, in the hospital. There he had a bronchoscopy, he passed the tests. A week later they wanted to discharge us. Even when the doctors saw him, they said: “Oh, Arseniy, how pretty you are.” Everything was fine, but then the saturation dropped and he was transferred to the intensive care unit. When I sat with him, he did not say anything, he just looked at me. He had such a look … I also thought that he was saying goodbye, I could not understand what it meant. He also told me that he couldn’t sleep. They didn’t let me see him anymore,” comments Arseniy’s mother. “I don’t understand how it happened. We arrived and everything was fine, hemoglobin was normal. He was put on medication and it only got worse and worse. They did a CT scan and nothing was visible. On the night of September 4, at 1.05, his heart could not stand it …

“The doctors overlooked something”

Natalya is sure that her son could have been saved.

– When they took Arseniy to the intensive care unit for the second time, I screamed that the doctors were missing something. It cannot be that she brought him back normal, and a week later he is already very ill. Arseny underwent a CT scan in Moscow, and a slight pneumothorax was shown there. Well, how is this possible? They changed his treatment, they gave him some different medicines, – Natalya comments. – On September 4, his heart stopped, but he never complained. When Arseniy had pains, I always asked about his heart, but he never had it. The pressure was also normal. The son’s treatment was wrong. In Moscow, bronchoscopy did not confirm covid, but he was still prescribed two drugs for covid. My son didn’t die of lupus erythematosus. I think the doctors missed his lungs, this pneumothorax…

According to Natalya, when Arseny was treated at the Moscow hospital, doctor Ivan Krivulin said that they would “play” with the drugs and see how they would affect Arseny’s health. In addition, the boy was prescribed the drug “Jaquinus”, which greatly reduces immunity.

– Everyone loved him. No matter how many people we met, they all said how good and kind Arseniy was. Now he would go to the 9th “B” class, – says my mother. “He was so kind, he helped everyone. Many knew him and they all loved and worried.

The funeral of Arseniy took place on September 10, last Saturday. Many people came to say goodbye to the boy – acquaintances, relatives, classmates. Natalya Afonasenkova thanks her relatives and friends, kindergartens No. 47, 34, secondary school No. 23 for the help, and also expresses her deep gratitude to the Eternity organization for help with transport.

Earlier E1.RU wrote that the Moscow Children’s Health Center, where Arseniy was treated, declined to comment.

Rheumatologist, neurologist and psychophysiologist, academician of the Russian Academy of Medical and Technical Sciences Pavel Evdokimenko explained to regional journalists that systemic lupus erythematosus is a complex autoimmune disease that affects many organs. It causes the immune system to produce antibodies that damage healthy cells in the body.

– Lupus is one of the mysteries of rheumatology, it is difficult to treat, and each patient has a different course. It is still unknown why the cells of the body suddenly begin to attack themselves, there are no specific causes of the onset of the disease, the doctor explained.

Second Grade Vocabulary Curriculum YEAR-LONG BUNDLE – Miss DeCarbo

This YEAR-LONG Vocabulary Curriculum BUNDLE for second grade includes 32 weeks of vocabulary instruction, lesson plans, activities, discussions, word play games, digital and printable books, passages, synonym and antonym sorts, vocabulary puzzles, writing response printables for vocabulary and word application, word guides for the teacher, vocabulary cards for vocabulary notebooks, research and rationale guides, and assessments! The year-long curriculum will expose your students to a wide variety of Tier 2 vocabulary words in order to help them build skills for oral language, writing, reading, and real-world experiences. Each lesson can be completed within twenty minutes, and offers the teacher flexibility and differentiation along the way!

Your students will build essential skills in the areas of:
• writing
• reading
• oral language skills for discussions, conversations, and speaking in complete sentences
• real-world experiences and connections to books and passages
• Tier 2 vocabulary skills and essential understandings for Tier 2 words with multiple meanings, synonyms, antonyms, how to use words correctly within context, and more!

This Vocabulary Curriculum for Second Grade is a Year-Long Bundle and includes FOUR sets. Each set contains eight weeks of instruction:
• Vocabulary Curriculum for Second Grade SET 1
• Vocabulary Curriculum for Second Grade SET 2
• Vocabulary Curriculum for Second Grade SET 3
• Vocabulary Curriculum for Second Grade SET 4

Five detailed and descriptive “Master Lesson Plans” are used each week to help you facilitate the vocabulary instruction and activities. In addition, an At-A-Glance Weekly Guide and a Teacher Word Guide are included each week. These pages will give you a quick glimpse of your weekly words, your day-to-day activities, and important vocabulary information such as kid-friendly definitions, example sentences, synonyms, antonyms, and multiple meanings (when applicable).

Is this curriculum based in research?
YES! A four-page Research and Rationale guide is included in the resource and in the free preview file for your convenience. A complete list of vocabulary research citations has also been included so that you can see what I read and used in my own vocabulary research over the past three years.

“What is the weekly vocabulary routine?”

Day 1: Introduction You will introduce a very short reading passage to your students. The passage is set up as a “cloze text.” After completing a quick word prediction activity, you will share the week’s new focus words with your students. Then, the students will help you place the week’s focus words into the context of the story. Detailed and descriptive “Teacher Discussion Questions” are included for Day 1. These discussion questions help you explain each word’s meaning and its relation to the text. It also includes prompts and vocabulary games that help students connect the vocabulary to their own lives. I recommend writing the short passage on sentence strips and placing them on a pocket chart. This helps the students interact directly with the text and physically manipulate the word cards. If you prefer not to do so, a projectable page is provided for you. Student copies of the passage are included if you would like students to fill in the words on their own throughout the lesson.

Day 2: Story Time Your students will gather to listen to a short read-aloud booklet that puts the focus words into a new context and situation. The book is provided in a digital format so that you can project it onto your screen for the class to follow along. (Printable versions are included, too. Digital booklets open on any device that has Microsoft PowerPoint installed on it.) Seeing and hearing the words in a new situation and scenario helps the students to make connections between the words and better understand each word’s meaning (and multiple meaning, if applicable). Once again, detailed teacher language and discussion questions are provided. After the read-aloud, your students will complete a quick writing response activity. The writing prompt is connected to the read-aloud topic and helps students apply the words they are learning to their real lives.

Day 3: Connections It’s synonym and antonym day! Today, you and your students will complete one of two activities. You can choose to revisit the story from Day 1 and replace the week’s focus words with synonyms and antonyms. Or, you can complete a synonym and antonym word sort together using the word cards. Your students will be exposed to MANY wonderful Tier 2 words through these activities! An optional student copy of the word sort is included. This would make a great small group activity, or the printable can be completed by the students as you are working on the lesson together.

Day 4: Word Play A vocabulary word play menu is included within each set. This menu contains different hands-on activities to help your students “play” with and use the words they are learning. Each set includes new word play activities! The following vocabulary games and activities are included:
•Word Drama – Students will participate in a game in which they will act out the meaning of various words.
•Word Colors – Students will color a crayon template based on the color he or she thinks represents or describes the meaning of each week’s focus words.
•Word Emojis – Students will hold up an emoji stick to show and explain how each word makes the student feel.
•Word Theater – Students will orally create a story or “play” that uses the week’s focus words, synonyms, and/or antonyms using character sticks with a partner or a small group.
•Word Chat – Students will assign each focus word to a picture card that they think best represents the word’s meaning.
•Word Chant – Students will participate in a word rap to practice synonyms, antonyms, and definitions.
•Synonym Sing-along- Students practice synonyms with a fun sing-along song!
•Antonym Sing-along- Students practice antonyms with a fun sing-along song!
•Word Puzzles- Students experiment and play with synonyms by completing puzzles that provide an understanding of how words are related using meaning and context.
•Word Wonderer -In this fun game, students will guess the focus word as other students give clues, definitions, and synonyms to explain and describe the words.
•Word Artist – Students will illustrate the word before the timer runs out as their friends guess the mystery vocabulary word.

Day 5: Application Your students will complete a “Sentence Stem” writing activity. Sentence starters have been provided for each of the week’s focus words. Your students will complete the sentence in order to practice using the sentence correctly and within the appropriate situation. This activity also helps your students apply the words to their own lives, and truly “own” the words!

What else is included?

Optional Quick Sketch Assessments are included each week. These can be used to assess your students’ understanding of the words, or, used as an additional activity.
• Optional cloze assessments are provided.
• Label the Photograph printable – This activity is a printable version of the “Word Chat” activity and can even be used as an assessment. The students will cut, label, and glue a word to each picture that he or she believes best shows the word’s meaning.
• Vocabulary Word Cards – Use the word cards on a Vocabulary Word Wall within your classroom to show off all of the great Tier 2 words you and your students are learning, or, use them in personal vocabulary notebooks.

You can use as many lessons as you want each week or as few as you would like! One of the beautiful parts of this program is the flexibility it provides. If you have a short week, you can easily pick and choose the lessons that work best for your students. It can also be as “rigid” as you would like by sticking to the detailed plan. While I cannot give an exact time frame for each lesson plan due to varied classroom structures, management, student needs, etc., you should plan on roughly 15-20 minutes a day for your vocabulary routine.

Your students will be immersed in vocabulary instruction that uses best practices and brain-based research. As teachers, we know that students who are provided with isolated vocabulary instruction often fail to retain the words, meanings, and connections to their own lives. This second-grade curriculum teaches vocabulary words within the context of short, kid-friendly passages and stories. Your students will always be exposed to vocabulary words that are embedded in text and real-world situations. We also know that students retain words when they have ample opportunities to use the words and apply them to their own lives. Each set focuses on rich and robust classroom conversations, word play activities, word association games, and the connections between words as your students are exposed to synonyms and antonyms on a weekly basis.

I strongly encourage you to download the free PREVIEW FILE to learn how this curriculum works and how easy it is to teach! A SAMPLE WEEK has been included in the preview so that you can better see the learning activities. Additional FAQs have also been included in the preview file for your convenience.

20 Meaningful Vocabulary Activities for Every Grade

Learning new words is like adding to your writing wardrobe. Your writing becomes so much more interesting and engaging when you have more options available. These vocabulary activities work for all ages, K-12, and provide kids with a variety of learning options to help them build their own word bank.

1. Make a word map

Word maps help deepen understanding of a vocab word by relating it to other words and concepts students already know.

Learn more: Word Map/Upper Elementary Snapshots

2. Use the Frayer Model

Frayer models are a popular way to learn new words and concepts. Kids define the word in their own terms, then list facts and characteristics, examples, and non-examples.

Learn more: Southern Fried Teachin’

3. Draw vocabulary sketchnotes

Kids and teachers love sketchnotes! Rather than writing out definitions, have students draw a sketch that sums up each word instead. It’s a lot more fun and gives kids an image for visual association and to help remember the meanings.

Learn more: Now Spark Creativity

4. Bump words along

Group vocab words together with a few other words with similar meanings and one that’s an antonym. Students identify the antonym and “bump” it to the next box, filling in the next group of words. They continue until the worksheet is full.

Learn more: Reading and Writing Haven

5. Post a Graffiti Wall

Think of a vocabulary graffiti wall like a collaborative word wall. In the classroom, post the words on the wall and have kids add sticky notes to illustrate the term (they can use words or pictures). Online, try a tool like Padlet or Google Slides.

Learn more: Digging Deeper

6. Match words to describe character

This is a terrific way to practice vocab words pulled from books you’re reading. Ask students to use various words to describe the different characters in the book and their feelings, thoughts, and actions.

7. Fill in words from A to Z

This vocabulary game is fun and challenging, and you can play it at any age. Choose a word, then challenge kids to come up with related words for as many letters as possible. These could be synonyms, antonyms, examples, and more. Trickier letters are worth more points!

8. Try Flipgrid for vocabulary activities

Forever a Teacher at Heart/Twitter

Are you on the Flipgrid bandwagon yet? It’s perfect for vocabulary activities! Have kids record a quick video for each word, using their creativity to make it fun and meaningful.

9. Battle it out in Vocabulary Jeopardy

Good vocabulary activities encourage more than just memorization of definitions. That’s why we like this Jeopardy game idea. It explores synonyms and antonyms and how words are used in real sentences.

Learn more: Not So Wimpy Teacher

10. Use RAFTs to write vocabulary stories

Writing a story using vocab words is a perennial favorite, but the RAFT method gives it a new twist. Students are assigned a Role (the point of view from which they’ll tell the story), an Audience, a Format, and a Topic. For instance, they might be an astronaut (Role) writing a postcard (Format) to their friends back home (Audience) about what they’ve seen on Mars (Topic). RAFTs are especially great for kids who claim they don’t know what to write about.

Learn more: RAFT/Teaching Writing

11. Discover the power of words

Vocabulary words take on greater meaning when students incorporate them into their daily lives. Challenge kids to use their vocab words in conversation and writing outside the language arts classroom. Use the free printable worksheet here to help them keep track of how often they use them.

12. Create graphic organizers

Colorful organizers like these are terrific vocabulary activities. Want to go digital? Have kids make a slideshow, one slide per word. They can include the same information, but instead of drawing a picture, have them find one online that illustrates the concept.

Learn more: Graphic Organizers/Upper Elementary Snapshots

13. Focus on a Word of the Week

Give really important terms the attention they deserve. Choose a new vocab word each week, then explore it in depth day by day.

Learn more: Lit In Focus

14. Join the Million Dollar Word Club

Post a list of target vocab words. If a student uses one of the words in class (outside of vocabulary activities), they become a member of the Million Dollar Word Club! You can have them sign their name on a wall in the classroom or award a badge online. You could even develop this into a reward system for homework passes or extra credit.

Learn more: Million Dollar Words/The Sassy Apple

15. Explore shades of meaning

This is a cool idea for exploring synonyms and the slight differences that make words unique. Ask for paint sample strips at your local hardware store, or buy a clip art set. In the classroom, use these paint strips to make crafts for a bulletin board. Working in a virtual environment? Have kids print clip art strips at home or use the images to make slides or digital worksheets.

Learn more: Around the Kampfire

16. Personify a word with social media

This is one of those vocabulary activities kids will want to do over and over again! Assign each student a word and have them create a fake Facebook, Instagram, or other social media page for it. They can draw them freehand or complete a template like these from Teachers Pay Teachers. Post the images to a shared Google slideshow so other students can use them for review.

Learn more: Reading and Writing Haven

17. Play vocabulary word Taboo

In this game, the goal is for one student to get their partner to guess the word by describing or giving examples of it. The trick? There’s a list of additional words they’re not allowed to use! Let other students see the card in advance to help keep the players honest. (Flash it on a whiteboard and have the guesser face away.)

Learn more: Teaching Talking

18. Roll a die for vocabulary activities

Choose a vocab word, then have the student roll a die (these virtual dice are handy) to see which activity they get to complete.

Learn more: Roll a Word/Lucky Little Learners

19. Write an acrostic

Write an acrostic poem for each vocab term, using the letters to determine the first word in each line. This can get really challenging when words are longer!

Learn more: Vocab Acrostic/Upper Elementary Snapshots

20. Become a Word Collector

This is one of those picture books that grown-up kids will enjoy as much as little ones. Use it to remind your kids that they don’t need a vocabulary list to learn new words—new words are all around them. Encourage them to keep a word list or journal of their own to record new words they want to explore and use more often.

Vocabulary work in elementary school grades 1-2 | Article (grades 1, 2):

Vocabulary work in elementary school (grades 1-2)

The most important task in elementary school is to enrich vocabulary. At 6-7 years old, the child is aware of the language means that he mastered in the preschool period, as he has a relatively mature attention and memory.

Often the vocabulary that a child hears and uses is not enough for him to express his feelings, thoughts, emotions, understanding the material being studied.

Poor vocabulary often interferes with successful work in the field of spelling. When checking spelling, students often do not find the necessary test words, because they are not in the active vocabulary of students.

A word is an element of the vocabulary only if it corresponds in consciousness to a known reality or a known concept. This can be done based on the figurative memory of children 7-10 years old.

Vocabulary work is a means of enriching the vocabulary of schoolchildren.

The dictionary can be made richer in quantitative and qualitative terms.

Students’ vocabulary grows quantitatively by 4-5 words every day. Working on the quantitative side of the dictionary allows you to eliminate such shortcomings as “does not remember the word, does not know its meaning”, “does not know the meaning of the word, it is not in its active dictionary”. Familiarization of younger students with different meanings of words, including figurative ones, is also an element of quantitative enrichment of the dictionary.

Russian language textbooks in the School of Russia program contain words from orthoepic, spelling, explanatory dictionaries, a dictionary of synonyms and antonyms.

In the spelling dictionary of the 1st grade – 29 words, in the 2nd grade 74 more words are added. Familiarization with them occurs gradually in the lessons of teaching literacy and the Russian language.

• Every day the students get to know each other and repeat 4-5 words.
• We write new words in the “Dictionary”, note which topic they belong to, keep the Thematic Dictionary.
• In the 2nd grade we write down vocabulary words in our Homework.
• From time to time we fill in vocabulary cards, write vocabulary dictations (including those composed by the children themselves), make cards of words in which mistakes were made, and compose “funny” texts from these words.
• In vocabulary cards we include words from the orthoepic dictionary, in which students put stress.
• In dictionary dictations for the interpretation of a word, schoolchildren recognize and write down the right word, antonyms and synonyms are selected for words.
• We expand the “Dictionary” by adding the name of the locality where we live, words from other educational programs.
• We play vocabulary games.
• At the end of the school year, we fill out a summary card of all vocabulary words, write the final vocabulary dictation.
• We celebrate the success of children in expanding their vocabulary.

You and I learn a language surrounded by a vacuum. Lucky are those who are in a fertile environment of native speakers. They grasp new words and phrases on the fly, learn to form sentences, questions and negatives, understand why one or another article, pronoun, verb tense, etc. should be used. And even if they don’t understand, they simply remember. Because there is a role model nearby.

Those who have been deprived of such a gift by fate should not lose heart! Firstly, there is such a miracle in the world as the Internet, thanks to which we exist everywhere and everywhere. You can always find pen pals. They are also interested in talking to you. And believe me, no one cares about your level of English. The main thing is that, albeit with the most incredible language errors, you can express your thought. And communication is always practice. The more of it, the better. Free listening comprehension – movies, series, books, songs in English. Forget dubbing. Watch with subtitles. I remember my brother as a child could speak Japanese for a year after watching anime and dramas daily with subtitles. Your brain subconsciously builds bridges, creates connections, remembers. The main thing is to give him such an opportunity. So the lack of an English-speaking environment is another weak excuse for your laziness and uninventiveness.

Secondly, since books, movies, and networking are your only sources of new words and phrases, you should carry a dictionary notebook with you at all times and keep it as close to your body as possible. It’s even better to carry it always with you, so that when you have a free minute, drop in and teach. Great wisdom passed down from generation to generation: languages ​​are taught with a booty. We single out a common notebook, comfortable, beautiful – you still have to live with it. We divide it into three columns, as taught at school: the English version, transcription and translation into Russian. If you are already very advanced, you can skip the second column. Sat down to watch a movie or read a book – write down everything that seemed interesting or necessary to you. When you have time, close the column with the English version, read Russian aloud and say the translation from memory.

English Vocabulary. Notebook-dictionary in English

Read one page, you know that you made mistakes, read it again. Set aside 20 minutes of your time every day for this. You can even do it in several visits: 10 minutes in the morning, 10 minutes in the evening. Old fashioned way, I know. But it always works. I have similar dictionaries for all languages, although I have been studying, for example, English for more than 9 years.

When I started learning German, in addition to a dictionary, I also had a cardboard sheet filled with expressions needed during a conversation (“Do me a favor”, “I’m doing fine”), and introductory words (“in general”, “in short “,” at least “, etc.). It was called “Vital”.

There are three main points here. First: don’t overdo it. There is no point in writing everything down. Why do you need words like “collet”, “stirrup”, “snap close” or “cafard”? Write something that you can use later (for example, during conversations with your teacher. Second: do not take words out of context. Write out phrases and whole sentences! Third: not only do you write them down, you constantly look through and speak aloud. You need to apply in speech, and this is a guarantee that they will move from a passive vocabulary to an active one.Write messages or letters to your English-speaking friends, keep a blog or diary in the language and shove your beautiful words and expressions into them.0003

A dictionary is your support, an intermediary between the bottomless vocabulary of a foreign language and your memory. Enrich your vocabulary. Love the word, as Stephen Fry says. Stop speaking in primitive language with such “ruffles” as “bro”, “wassup” and, God forbid, “lol”. Develop and speak beautifully.

Some wonderful expressions for your dictionaries:

to know one’s onions – to know something thoroughly, to know something by heart

to take smth. with a pinch of salt – treat something with distrust, skepticism

Keep up the good work! – Keep it up!

to kiss good-bye (e.g. “If you leave your camera on a park bench, you can kiss it good-bye”)

I’m having the time of my life – I’m having a great time; I’m having fun

So far, so good – So far so good.

List of English words Grade 2

Issue of cards “NO for twos!” for the second grade was created taking into account the lexical minimum of the first or second year of study in schools with in-depth study of the language. Also, the textbook was addressed to first-grade students, with the study of English, and older students in the study of English as a second foreign language. Pupils who study the language according to the programs of a comprehensive school could use the release for a longer time.

“Vocabular work is not an episode in the work of a teacher, but a systematic,

well-organized, pedagogically expediently constructed work.
A.V. Tekuchev

The leading pedagogical idea of ​​experiment : to show the possibilities of using pedagogical techniques that facilitate the memorization of words with unverifiable spellings in elementary school, to enrich the vocabulary of children; development of mental abilities, horizons of students.

Purpose: to share with colleagues personal pedagogical experience in the formation of students’ spelling literacy when working with vocabulary words.

Tasks: to form techniques for working out with children writing vocabulary words through various activities, by applying an activity approach; to interest colleagues in the proposed type of work.

Relevance

The problem of vocabulary work at the Russian language lessons is currently the most urgent. Among the main tasks of teaching in a modern elementary school are the development of speech and thinking of younger students. One of the indicators of the mental and speech development of schoolchildren is the richness of their vocabulary, which is necessary for the language as a building material.

The richer the active vocabulary of a person, the more meaningful, intelligible, literate and beautiful his oral and written speech. Therefore, a necessary element of vocabulary work is the translation of words from the students’ passive vocabulary into an active one. As well as the formation of the ability to correctly and competently express their thoughts in writing.

Primary school is designed to provide strong literacy skills. Practice shows that if these skills are not formed in elementary school, then in high school it will be almost impossible to do so.

Any teacher is deeply concerned about the question of how to help students become literate, how to master the spelling of unverifiable words, traditionally referred to in school practice as “dictionaries”.

Each of us accumulates our own theoretical and practical experience, comes up with our own original solutions.

– In order to write dictionary words correctly, what should be done?

– Learn, remember.

– Indeed, in traditional practice, dictionary words are subject to rote memorization, which is ineffective, and children continue to make mistakes in these words. Why? The answer is simple.

When getting acquainted with “dictionary” words, the child is assigned, as a rule, a passive role. But after all, children are inquisitive, resourceful, inventive – this should be used.

– Today, at the master class, we will look at some working methods.

Dictionary words, like the multiplication table, must be known by heart. That’s just the multiplication table is placed on one notebook page, and dictionary words – a whole thick dictionary. They must be taught, often returning to the same word over and over again.

– How to avoid simple cramming when memorizing?

– How to diversify this monotonous boring business?

Ways and techniques to help memorize vocabulary words

These methods, of course, were not invented by me. I spied on them from different authors and put them together to help myself and, of course, my students in their work.

1. Appeal to the etymology of the word

The most important, in my opinion, is the acquaintance of children with the historical formation of dictionary words: etymology, epics and parables. If you explain to children how certain words were formed, then it will be easier for them to find an association and remember the spelling.

I refer to the etymology of a word not always, but only when the etymology helps to remember the spelling image of the word. Here are some examples.

The word “ b e cut ” in the old days meant “clear, bright”. The word “white” was formed from the same root. Birch is a tree with white bark, b e b e cut.

The word “zap a e” comes from the word “to sink”. And the old saying: “the sun sets over the horizon” (instead of “the sun sets over the horizon”). Zap a e – the place where the sun “behind a ” over the horizon, p a gives.

The word “m e tel” comes from the verb “revenge”. Wind m e it is snowing. (m ё l, m ё t).

The word “st o persons” comes from the word “st o l”. In the old days, “holding the table” meant having power. Article o persons – the city where the one who “holds st o l” lives, i. e. has power.

Words “PL A Thting” and “PL A TOK” came from one word “PL A ”, which meant a square piece of materies.

2. Cue words

To attract an auditory clue means to associate a word with another that is always heard, easy to remember, and most importantly has a similar sound to a dictionary word. For example : P e t e carcasses; m e e for m e two; at C about nor from about tank; for M a shim m a tire; K o brown styl; K a tya y k a ingots; K a t na k a rtin; O for p O rtret; two K o l and in k o r and dore; d s vodka d s black; for i long for i c; l o mouth l o pats; tr a vma v tr a mvae; p and with p and sunk; no ur o him ur o zhai; houses from d e reva v d e revne; e o horns e o horns. Any teacher has in his arsenal many such helper words.

3. Distribution of words into groups according to the similarity of spelling

When studying vocabulary words of some thematic groups, it is convenient to first study words with an unstressed vowel “a”, then with an unstressed vowel “o” (or with some other), and then words with difficulties in writing consonants. For example, when studying vocabulary words on the topic “House, apartment” in grade 3, we first study words with an unstressed vowel “a”: , b a lkon, s a bot. Then – with an unstressed vowel “o “: cr o vat, p o rtret, s o se. The study of the topic ends with the word sch astier.

4. Use of vowel (consonant) schemes

When studying words with complex vowel spelling, write down the vowel scheme and try to memorize it. For example, car (aooi), skyline (oio), bicycle (eoie), library (iioe). And vice versa, in words where difficulties may arise in remembering the spelling of consonants, we draw up a consonant chart. For example, district (ryn), platform (prrn), happiness (hhst), territory (trrtr). Sometimes we write dictation only in vowels or only consonants. Children perceive this type of work as a game and perform such tasks with pleasure, which helps memorize complex words.

5. Games to help you master the spelling of dictionary words

In the phased game development, all the mechanisms (primarily arbitrariness) are formed that are necessary for successful learning and, in particular, for the formation of literate writing. Here are some games that you can use specifically for memorizing vocabulary words.

“Vocabular loto”

For the game, you need to make large cards with vocabulary words and small cards with the same words. The big cards are for the teacher and the small cards are for the students. The teacher presents the word, and the student who has a card with such a word raises his hand, pronounces the word spelling and turns the card over. The student with the cards turned over first is the winner.

“Wise Dictionary”

Fill in dictionary words that make sense. Underline the difficult letters.

• How to wall ______________.
• Keep your nose in the big __________.
• Live like a cat with ____________.
• Kui ____________ while it’s hot.
• __________ will bring to Kyiv.
• The word is not ___________: fly out – you won’t catch it.

Velcro Letters (magnets)

A certain letter (spelling) or several letters are given. For a certain time, it is necessary to “magnetize” letters to it (on one or both sides) so that dictionary words are obtained.

-oro-

• frost
• cow
• magpie
• road
• crow
• sparrow
• good

– Now we will try to “magnetize” so that we get dictionary words.

– olo- (straw, about, milk, hammer)

Encryption – alphabet

Each letter of the alphabet corresponds to a serial number.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 …
a b c d e f h …

In the Alphabet theme, you can encrypt and decipher dictionary words.

1, 13, 13 , 6, 33 – (A LL EY) – in this option, you can immediately notice that the word will have a spelling for a double consonant. Mnemonics Mnemonics include such poems, stories, puzzles, drawings that evoke certain associations in children, help to remember the spelling of a dictionary word.

Mnemonics – a set of techniques and methods that facilitate memorization and increase memory capacity by forming artificial associations.

Graphic associations

There is no need to bind children to their own associations, they can come up with their own, because our children are inquisitive, resourceful, inventive – this is what we need to use. For example, these are. (frost)

The point is to see the similarity between the shape of the letter and the object. Children should make their own drawings, you can do it right in the notebook at the lesson or in individual dictionaries.

– Let’s try to use this technique and make up the word dog.

Method of sound associations

The essence of the successful selection of consonant associations to the memorized word. May be accompanied by a bright pattern that reinforces the image.

STREET. I went outside and saw a lot of familiar FACES.

SPRUCE FURNITURE.

COAT. The COAT is worn by Dad. Pavel in COAT.

– I suggest you pick up a few associative images.

concert – note, chorus, newspaper-paper, gate-gol.

“Associative hooks” with which we will remember the spelling of “difficult” words.

For example, a group of vocabulary words: in front, behind, left, right – can be associated with a Russian hero who drove up to a stone at a crossroads.

The words fast, soon, fun, good will help you remember a bicycle, or rather, its wheels, which look like the letter “o”.

7.

“Chepushin” reception

The essence of this technique is that we write down the dictionary word that we met in the lesson in a column. For each letter of this word, we write down previously studied words. If they don’t know the word by letter, they skip it.

M – bear
O – once
R – plant
O – about
Z – strawberry

In summer the bear eats plant roots and wild strawberries.

Once a bear made a lair for himself near a huge tree .

– I offer you the word city. Match each letter with a dictionary word. Then, from these words, compose a mini-text or separate sentences.

G – peas
O – cucumber
R – guys
O – vegetable garden
D – girl

• 1 gr. “Morphology”.
• 2 gr. “Phonetics”. Make a sound-letter analysis.
• 3 gr. “Word formation” Single-root words are selected, parts of words (morphemes) are distinguished.
• 4 gr. “Spelling” Learns the spelling rule from a dictionary. Count the number of difficulties, determine the rules for checking.

Checking the operation of groups.

In the 4th grade, when studying vocabulary words, I combine several methods of work.

ACQUAINTANCE WITH A NEW WORD

It can take place in different ways. It can be an illustration, a rebus, a poem or a riddle.

RECOGNIZING THE WORD

The word is read orthoepic, spelling, stress is placed, the letter to be memorized is explained. I use words – images for memorization. The word is written on the board and in notebooks. I propose to find the word in the text. Work with phraseological units, proverbs and sayings.

WORK ON THE WORD

1) Change the word for cases.

2) Pick up words with the same root.

WORK ON THE WORD IN SENTENCE

1) Write down riddles, proverbs, excerpts from works of art.

2) Make and write down a sentence with the learned word.

To consolidate the ability to write dictionary words correctly, I use the following methods of work:

1) write all dictionary words using a plot picture;

2) the teacher reads a poem, and after listening to it, the students must write down all vocabulary words.

One day, in a cold winter season
I came out of the forest; there was severe frost.
(one day, frost)

3) Piggy Bank

A group of vocabulary words is written on the board, not necessarily thematic. The words
can be matched to a specific spelling, to a specific topic of the lesson.

For example, when studying the topic “Paired consonants”, a group of dictionary words with paired consonants, similarly doubled consonants, etc. is taken. Such words
must be at least 10. For memorization, 1 minute is given, during which the students silently pronounce the words. Then the teacher closes the words.

Again 1 minute is given, but this time for writing words. Task: remember and write down as many vocabulary words as possible. Work must be checked
(self-check, mutual check underlining spelling).

4) Use of interactive simulators.

Systematic and purposeful work on difficult words arouses students’ interest in learning these words and contributes to their strong and successful memorization. It is necessary that the child uses the same word 5-7 times in various exercises. This leads to the fact that the student freely masters the vocabulary material and accurately applies it in practice.

This system gives a large percentage of students memorizing words with unverifiable spellings, and without special memorization; provides ample opportunities for creative application. A high result is achieved through the use of pedagogical techniques that facilitate the memorization of words with unverifiable spellings. The use of which contributes to the development of spelling vigilance, the enrichment of vocabulary, the development of mental abilities, the horizons of students.

I want to finish the master class with the words “A teacher is a student forever called to the board.” (S.Soloveichik). Teaching others – learn yourself.

Many thanks to everyone for their work.

We write vocabulary words without mistakes

The formation of spelling literacy among junior schoolchildren is one of the main tasks of teaching the Russian language at the 1st stage of general secondary education. The teacher must create conditions that allow students to learn to hear, pronounce and write words without making mistakes.

I start my work on mastering words with unchecked spelling in the 2nd grade from the analysis of vocabulary dictations. First, I suggest that the children write off and memorize the necessary words. Recently, I noticed that this form of work on the word does not give high results. Moreover, rote learning tires students and reduces motivation to learn Russian. How to organize the work on the study of vocabulary words in the lessons of the Russian language in such a way that students develop spelling vigilance and increase interest in studying the subject?

Analyzing my own experience and the experience of my colleagues in this area, the Russian language curriculum at the 1st stage of general secondary education, I came to the conclusion that the number of hours allocated for the study of phonetics and spelling in grades 2-4 is not enough to master the program material. How to achieve high-quality assimilation of words with unverifiable spelling, and at the same time improve the literacy of students?

In the 2nd grade, 43 hours are allotted for the study of the “Sounds and Letters” section. In grade 3, only an hour is given at the beginning of the school year to repeat what was studied in grade 2 (“Sounds and letters”, “Vowels and consonants”, “Stressed and unstressed vowels”, “Voiced and deaf, hard and soft consonants”). The material on spelling is not singled out in elementary school as an independent section, but is given along with the material on grammar, phonetics, word formation and relies on it, so I decided to change the approaches to teaching students the Russian language. I organized the work in such a way that the forms, methods and techniques used by me for memorizing words with unchecked spellings developed students’ interest in the subject and activated their mental activity and memory.

I work on memorizing vocabulary words in several stages. During the preparatory, according to the method of S.N. Lysenkova, I reveal a pattern in the spelling of words and divide them into groups. Each group has its own serial number, which allows you to efficiently organize the work at the next stage.

Groups of words. Grade 2

At the stage of word presentation, I use various methods of organizing the work of schoolchildren with thematic groups of words. I propose to find the word in the table according to my assignment. I call the number of the group and the ordinal number of the word in this group. Through simple calculations, students can easily find the given word.

During the game “Cryptor” I suggest that students solve riddles, find the answer in the table and show the group number and the ordinal number of the word in this group using a fan of numbers.

I also propose to define a word by its lexical meaning. To do this, I often practice the game “Auction”. After the students have determined the meaning of the word, I suggest that they “buy” it for “money”. The meaning of a word, the definition of a part of speech, the selection of words with the same root, the composition of a sentence with this word, etc. can act as “money”.

At the stage of listening, we pronounce the word in unison (2-3 times), determine the “difficult” place. I try for the guys to find it themselves, then the process of writing for students becomes conscious, because even before writing down they can determine the spelling in the word. If the student remembers that the word has weak positions for vowels (position without stress) and consonants (position before another consonant and at the end of the word), then he can easily cope with this task.

At the stage of writing a word with subsequent analysis, together with the children, we determine the stressed and unstressed vowels, divide the word into syllables, count the number of syllables and put the corresponding number in the pocket above the word on the right. We count the number of letters in the word and put the corresponding number in the pocket under the word on the right. We are looking for “cunning” letters in the word (i, e, u, e, b, b), we determine in which cases they denote 2 sounds or the absence of a sound. And only after that we determine the number of sounds in the word and put the corresponding number in the pocket above the word on the left. Before writing a word in a notebook, I pay attention to the “signal of danger” – a red dot under the spelling. After carrying out this type of work, having spoken spelling (as it is written), I ask students to write down the word in a notebook.

By organizing the activities of students in this way, I work ahead of the curve: I develop the skills of phonetic analysis of the word. It is no secret that many students in grades 5-9 have difficulty completing a complete phonetic analysis of a word. If the elementary school does not devote more time to this type of activity than the program requires, then these difficulties can later develop into a big problem.

In the 3rd grade, I add a characteristic of each sound in the word to the above described algorithm for working on a dictionary word. The signs that we used in grade 2 to indicate sound quality are no longer enough. Therefore, in grade 3, I introduce children to transcription – a way to record the sound shell of a word. First, I suggest that students use the “hint”. As a rule, it is needed only in the first lessons. After the students have given a complete description of each sound in the word, I ask them to write down the word in transcription on the board and in their notebooks.

“Hint”

At the stage of working on the “visual” image of the word, I suggest that students compare the spelling of the word (in the top row) and the transcription (in the bottom row), name the spelling and explain its spelling. This type of activity contributes to the repetition of the rule: in order not to make a mistake in writing a vowel in a weak position in a word, you need to choose a test word; if it is impossible to find such a word, then you should refer to the spelling dictionary. In addition, students learn to independently solve spelling problems, gain experience in working with dictionaries.

At the stage of memorizing the spelling appearance of a word, I use a variety of methods and techniques:

gild; healthy – health, recover).

2. An associative image (a connection with a dictionary word must be traced by a common feature; an associative connection can be by color, shape, taste, purpose, action, location, etc. ). I never impose my associations on schoolchildren. The student will not remember the spelling of this word if he does not make the association himself. Sometimes I suggest that the children write down the word again, but in place of the spelling, draw some object that resembles a letter that needs to be remembered. For example, in word apples … to … at the place of passes, students usually draw 2 round apples, and in the word yag … yes – a plate or a round cherry.

3. Writing a word with eyes closed. I invite the children to close their eyes and present the word as it is written in the book, then read the word spelling
(as written), visualize the “dangerous” letter flashing, read the word slowly again and write it with your eyes closed 3 times in the air.

To involve students in active cognitive activity and consolidate their knowledge, skills and abilities, I use all kinds of games that occupy an important place in the life of younger students. The game allows you to maintain the cognitive activity of students, rationally combine verbal, visual and practical methods, to systematically monitor the quality of assimilation of knowledge, skills and abilities. Constant feedback allows you to influence the course of the educational process and adjust it.

One of the games for memorizing words with unchecked spellings is “Lotto”. Its kit includes several sheets lined into cells, in which dictionary words are printed (the spelling in the word must be highlighted).
Riddles are written on small cards. I suggest that students guess them and place the card with the guess word in the required cell of the field (the size of the cell on the sheet and the small card must match; the guess words in the cells must correspond to riddles).

At the stage of acquaintance with a new word, I play the game “Extra Word”. I show pictures on a certain topic (“Birds”,
“Animals”,
“Clothing”),
one of which does not correspond to the proposed thematic group. The guys determine the extra word. Next, I conduct vocabulary work to learn a new word with an unverifiable spelling according to the algorithm described above.

I use different shapes for fixing picture
dictations. For example, I show several cards of words with unverifiable spellings, after reading I close the cards and show pictures from the “Picture Gallery” set. If the item shown in the picture corresponds to the previously shown record of the word on the card, then we write this word in a notebook. After that, I open the cards with the spelling of the words and invite the students to check the correctness of the entries made in the notebooks.

Game “Dictionary” helps to form a variety of sounds and options for their designation, helps to draw a parallel sound – letter and thereby developing the skill of sound -letter analysis of the word and developing the ability to display sounds in the letter. I distribute cards with vocabulary words to students in such a way that only the student who received this card could read the entry. Other students should not see the words of their “neighbors”. After that I say “I was born a Dictionary, // I got really angry! // I’m tired of all sounds, // Except…” and name any sound. A student whose word contains this sound must run out to the “Dictionary”. If the spelling is at odds with the pronunciation, explain it. For example, I say “…except [c]” . Children run out with cards with the words forty, bus, dishes, draw, frost. A schoolchild with the word frost explains that in this word we hear the sound [s], it has a pair on the basis of sonority – deafness and is at the end of the word, so the spelling of such words is checked by selecting single-root words: frost, freeze. The student who ran out first with his word, having correctly identified the sound, can act as a leading teacher, then the game continues. The guys should be attentive, as the presenter can change the words “I’m tired of all the sounds” to “I’m tired of all the letters.” In this case, it is better to name an unchecked unstressed vowel at the root of the word. Explaining the spelling of such words, students say that this spelling is checked using a dictionary and the spelling of the word must be remembered.

The systematic conduct of such games and exercises allows you to develop the memory of younger students, enrich their speech with new vocabulary, form a conscious skill of writing and the correct use of difficult words in oral and written speech. There were much fewer mistakes in spelling words, children’s speech became richer, vocabulary expanded noticeably. I managed to arouse students’ interest in learning not only vocabulary words, but also the Russian language as a whole.

Work on vocabulary words as a way of forming spelling vigilance

Work on vocabulary as a way of forming spelling vigilance

Nagaeva Oksana Mikhailovna,

9,0000003

In this article I would like to share my experience of working on a word in Russian language lessons in elementary school. The literacy of writing is always an urgent problem. Why is literacy necessary? It is very important in order to adapt to the world around you, so that both peers and people around you understand you.

My goal in the Russian language lessons is to create conditions for the formation of a spelling skill in the process of working on a word.

For this, the main tasks are formulated:

1. To teach to see danger in a word.

2. To develop the skill of competent writing.

3. Raise the need to improve your written language.

The practical significance of such work lies in the material I have collected, which can be used in Russian language lessons when conducting vocabulary work.

Work on the word contributes to the development of a number of mental operations: observation, comparison, establishing similarities and differences, teaches to draw conclusions and generalizations, to be literate and educated.

The organization of vocabulary and spelling work involves making observations on the polysemy, homonymity of the studied words, on the direct meaning, synonyms and antonyms.

The program of elementary education in the Russian language for each class provides for the obligatory assimilation of a number of words, the spelling of which is not checked by the rules. A strong assimilation of their spelling was achieved through frequent use in various tasks and exercises, if possible related to the topic of the lesson being studied.

Each teacher develops his own specific system for mastering the spelling of dictionary words. Children receive initial information in grade 1. Work according to the recipe and the textbook, first-graders observe, remember the words: pencil case, magpie, crow, Moscow and others.

In each of the subsequent classes, the number of such words requiring error-free spelling increases. The words provided by the program for each class are grouped by topic: “Animals”, “Plants”, “Tools”, as well as by the peculiarities of writing “Double consonants”, “Paired consonants”, etc.

In the 2nd grade, students work in a spelling notebook. Some of the exercises should be done in class and some at home. In grade 3, the number of words increases, and in grade 4, students work according to the algorithm:

1. Definition of the lexical meaning of a word.
2. Writing a word in transcription.
3. Letter of words.

4. Selection of cognate words.

5. Preparation of proposals.

You can offer students to choose their own words to a specific topic from the dictionary for a specific spelling, write from memory and then check. The choice of a topic for vocabulary work can be associated with the topic of the lesson, the content of the exercises, the time of year, a minute of calligraphy. Use groups of words to practice spelling in vocabulary work for consolidation. Dictionary words are widely used for grammatical analysis. When performing various tasks, not only those words that have been studied recently are included, but also those that have been studied earlier. Such a system ensures a strong assimilation of the spelling of all the words provided for by the primary education program. It is necessary to teach children to “peer” at the words, to get acquainted with its “relatives and ancestors”, to learn how it “works”, to listen to the sound, to realize the significance of the word itself. Through the dialogue of the teacher and students, cultural, moral and spiritual enrichment of students takes place.

An important task in the study of vocabulary words is to teach children to use different types of dictionaries as sources of information.

An important problem of literate writing is to teach to see “danger”. In my work, I use the “green ink writing secret” technique. As soon as danger appears, green paste works. The more spellings we study, the more often the green color lights up in students’ notebooks. Children like this kind of letter, it adds variety to the work, and green paste, like the green color of a traffic light, develops a sense of self-control.

In the classroom, together with the students, a stand is produced under the heading “Remember these words”, on which we place only those words that are not in the dictionary of the textbook. I also use ICT to organize the work of students in order to significantly improve the quality of writing, enrich vocabulary, and have an interest. I select poems, riddles, etymological origin of words, phraseological units, illustrations for a certain thematic group.

Based on the well-known psychological regularity — the more sense organs perceive what is being studied, the stronger the memorization takes place, it becomes necessary to use all kinds of means of influencing the student in the lesson. The teacher needs to organize vocabulary work in such a way that vision, hearing, hand, memory, and consciousness take an active part in the assimilation of each word.

Mastering the spelling of dictionary words requires a multiple system of exercises that are associated with all types of students’ written work:

1. Writing words alphabetically.

2. Selective answer.

3. Grouping and writing words according to spelling.

4. Comparison of words with the opposite spelling.

5. Selection and recording of synonyms and antonyms.

6. Joking rhyming words.

7. Birds: magpie, crow, sparrow.

8. Shop: milk, cottage cheese, compote, butter, sugar.

9. The answer to the question in one word is a person who travels by train or bus.

10. Dictations: visual, pictorial, selective, creative, from memory, with commentary.

11. Crosswords.

12. Puzzles.

13. Collect the word.

14. Proverbs, sayings, riddles.

As you can see, there are many exercises of this nature. They allow students to be interested in learning vocabulary words, lay the foundation for spelling vigilance skills.

Also, a system of tasks for the formation of universal educational activities was developed at Russian lessons. Of particular interest are exercises focused on the development of communication (cooperation). They involve the development of various forms of cooperation: work in pairs, together in small or large groups. Students learn to distribute work, roles among themselves, to carry out mutual verification. A group of tasks within the framework of communication is focused on the impact of participants and involves the development of skills to reasonably express one’s point of view, correctly criticize, and defend one’s point of view. Such forms of work are also used in the study of the section “Vocabulary words”. Using the lesson fragment as an example, let’s consider the content of such work.

The first stage: students are given cards with a set of learned vocabulary words, and are asked to fill in the missing letters after doing lexical work.

Second stage: students complete the task on their own.

Third stage: discussion and justification of the letters used in pairs (work in pairs).

Fourth stage: mutual checking (according to the dictionary) and mutual evaluation.

How to Pick a Good Job Reference

You know you’re nearing the final stretch of an interview process (and that it’s looking good for you) when a potential employer asks these three questions:

1. When would you be available to start? (Or, how much notice do you need to give your current employer?)
2. Can we get you set up for your physical and drug screen?
3. Will you please provide us with a list of professional references we may contact?

Question number three can rattle even the strongest of candidates if you’re not prepared to respond swiftly with names, titles, the nature of the relationship, and current contact information for however many people with whom they’d like to speak.

Don’t get caught in scramble mode at this stage of the game. Your prompt response and the quality of your references can take you the distance if you play this right.

Let’s begin.

Who Should I List (or Not List) as a Reference?

Generally speaking, your future employer wants to talk with the following people, in order of importance (depending on your role):

1. Your current manager or supervisor
2. Your prior managers or supervisors
3. Your current peers or clients (if you’re interviewing for a client-facing role)
4. Your prior peers or clients
5. Your personal references or friends who will vouch for you

Number five, by the way, is a remote fifth place. Reserve this one for only those times you have few other options, and make sure to ask if it’s OK to include personal references before you do so. Also, if you’re a graduating college student (or recent grad), you can absolutely include professors who may be able to speak to your performance and work ethic.

Never (ever) include relatives, unless you happen to work directly for or with one. Oh, and absolutely don’t ever give a fake name and then commission your buddy to “pretend” to be your employer or peer. Recruiters are not stupid. Treat them so at your own peril.

Keep in mind that the primary reason why potential employers want to check your references is because they want a third party to vouch for your on-the-job performance and character. You can tout your greatness all day long in the interview, but it truly gels for decision makers when others tout it for you.

Should They Be on My Resume?

Nooooooo. Heavens, no. Not only do you not need to list out your references, you shouldn’t. It takes up unnecessary resume space, and there’s a remote chance that a recruiter may be more interested in, say, your manager (who you’ve listed) than he or she is in you. No need to hand over all of this information before you captivate him or her.

Likewise, no need to write out “References available upon request.” This is a given. When the hiring manager want them, he or she will ask for them. 100% of the time.

What If I’m a Covert Job Seeker?

This can be a tricky one. If you’re currently employed—and job searching on the sly—who can you trust in these final, important legs of a job transition? I can’t answer this one definitively because every situation is different, and the stakes can be quite high. Trust your gut.

Chances are, you aren’t going to be able to use your current manager as a reference. Certainly, consider enlisting former managers. But you should also think about asking one to two colleagues with whom you have a close personal bond (and established level of trust). If and when you ask them for this support, spell it out very clearly how important it is for you to keep your search under wraps—and the potential consequences for you if they blab.

Also, if you’re providing your potential employer with a relatively weak list of references, be sure and alert them that you’re aware of that, and explain why.

How Should I Ask?

I always encourage clients to approach potential references with specificity, instead of the old, “Hey, would you be willing to be my reference?” Do that, and you’re going to have to let the chips fall where they may in terms of what this person offers up. And along those lines, do this over the phone if possible. You’ll get a much better idea of how excited (or unexcited) this person is to help you.

Make sure to frame your request in a way that spells out the details of the role you’re pursuing, what you anticipate the caller is likely going to want to talk about, and how he or she can be the most helpful.

Example: “Because they’re going through so much change and restructuring right now, I’m guessing they’re going to want to make sure I have strong leadership skills and the ability to turn around struggling teams and programs. If you’re willing, I’d love for you to share some detail on the program we revitalized in 2014.”

Be specific, and also ask this direct question at the end of the call, “May I count on you to give me a favorable reference should the company contact you?”

Don’t assume your past co-worker or boss is going to sing your praises. You never know—she may be jealous of your opportunity here or feel like you dropped the ball on something last year. If you ask this question, you’ll either get a “Yes, of course you can count on me” or an awkward pause or waffle. Don’t list anyone who responds with the awkward pause or waffle. Lukewarm references can sink you in the home stretch.

Is There Anything I Should Provide My References With?

Ideally, provide them with a copy of the job description or an overview of the role and main responsibilities. If you can, also give them some background on the person you anticipate will be calling them, so that they can feel up-to-date and prepared for the conversation.

Also, if it’s someone you’ve used as a reference before (and you suspect would be fine being listed again), provide him or her with a heads-up. Don’t list people without giving them any indication that you’ve used them as a reference for this next opportunity. That’s rude, and it may annoy them to the point of not giving you a glowing review.

What Do I Do After They Are Contacted?

Honestly, you don’t always know when a reference has been contacted, but often times your people will follow up to let you know the conversation just took place.

What do you do? This one is easy—thank him or her, and offer to return the favor if it’s ever needed. And, when you land that job? Most definitely let each of your references know, and consider a small thank you gift, like a coffee gift card or lunch.

Get it right, take it the distance, and enjoy that amazing new gig in 2016.

The 12 best people to pick as job references

When you apply for a new job, you need a polished resume, a perfected cover letter, and a list of job references who you trust to speak to a potential employer. Some employers may ask for references during the application process while others may wait until your interview, but knowing the best people to pick as job references can make or break your chances of landing your dream job.

How do you know who to ask for a reference?


A good reference can work well to convince a potential employer that you’re worth hiring. Hearing the perspective of a person who has worked closely with you can give them insight that they may not glean from the information on your application that comes directly from you. 

The best people to pick as job references should:

• Have knowledge of your work ethic.
• Respect you.
• Be well-spoken.
• Agree to be listed as a reference.

You want to pick people who have worked alongside you and think highly enough of you to sing your praises to a hiring manager. (But no, you can’t pick your best friend or your mom — relatives and close personal friends are a hard pass.) 

So, where do you begin? Take a look at these 12 ideas to get your job reference list started. 

1. Your boss or supervisor

At the top of your list of job references should be a former or soon-to-be-former boss or supervisor — the more recent the better. This is someone who can speak directly to your skills and what it’s like to manage you.

Even if you didn’t have a great relationship with your old boss, there can still be value in their opinion for a new employer. Plus, leaving them off the list may look fishy (unless they don’t know you’re leaving, which you should explain in your interview) so it’s best to at least have a conversation with them and try to work things out if you can.

2. A trusted coworker

Coworkers can make particularly great references — they’re the ones who see you working up close and personal each day. They should be a person who is familiar with your actual work, though, not just a friendly face who chats with you at the water cooler. Pick someone who either worked directly with you, in your department, or whose work was impacted by your own.

3. Your former professor or educator

For recent graduates in particular, a professor or instructor can be a top choice for a reference. This is especially true if they teach a subject in the same field that you now hope to work in. Just make sure to pick an educator who has gotten to know you personally and not a professor for a class of 100 students who you’ve never spoken to directly outside of a few emails.

4. Someone you have volunteered for

Volunteer work looks great on a resume, especially if it’s consistent or somehow connected to your line of work. Their relationship with you is likely similar to that of a boss or professor, so you can definitely ask your volunteer coordinator or organization leader to be a job reference.

5. A former client

Depending on your line of work, you may have a former client or two who would be happy to provide a reference if asked. Clients who expressed appreciation for your work are ideal, especially if you will be expected to complete similar work in the role that you’re applying for.

6. Your former classmate

As a student, did you work closely with other classmates in a small group setting or for a semester project? If so, they might be able to provide a solid reference for you. Just make sure you ask a classmate who you got along with and who was appreciative of your efforts at the time.

7. Someone that you’ve volunteered with 

Much like a coworker, someone who you have volunteered alongside consistently over the years can usually speak to your level of commitment on the job, work ethic, and general demeanor. Again, volunteer work can be impressive to a potential employer, so this is another great way to work that angle. 

8. A professional connection

That friend you always run into at networking events and chat with on LinkedIn about your mutual love of cold-emailing can actually be a great reference. Especially if they work in a similar profession or are highly respected in their own profession, they’re likely to be able to speak to your own level of professionalism with ease.

9. A connection from your college internship

Think back to your college internship days. Were you particularly close to your internship’s director or adviser? Did you work alongside a respected professional who mentored you? Recent graduates especially should seek references from people they worked with during an internship.

10. A high school teacher or coach

If you were particularly connected to a teacher or coach in high school and have sustained a relationship beyond graduation, they can be a wonderful pick for a job reference. Particularly when applying to a business in your hometown or if your professional references are few and far between, this is a solid option.

11. Your old school counselor

Whether they worked with you through high school or college, school counselors with who you developed a report would likely give you a glowing reference if you list them. After all, their main goal is to help their students (and former students) succeed. They probably get this request often though, so be sure to give them plenty of notice should you require a formal letter of recommendation.

12. Anyone else who knew you when you were just starting out

Were you a lifeguard or babysitter in the summers growing up? Did you file mail for a local real estate agent when you were in college or run a newspaper route in your town? Anyone who hired you for these odd jobs when you were young and has known you for years since can tell the hiring manager about your level of commitment and work ethic.

You made your reference list. So, what’s next?


After you decide who you’d like to list as job references, you have to ask for their permission. How you ask someone to be a reference will depend on your relationship with them, but this is definitely easier to do once you know who you’re asking. 

Once you have their permission, make sure that you have your references’ updated contact information including their phone number and email address ready to go. Now, when your recruiter asks, “May I call your references?” you’ll definitely be prepared.

Professional References: Who You Can & Cannot Use

Who can I use for a job reference? 

Dos and don’ts with professional references

When you’re applying for a new job, the job application or recruiter may ask you to provide a professional reference sheet or list along with your resume. Or, if you’re being considered for a position after an interview, you may be asked to share references then. 

So, what exactly are references and who should you use? How do you ask someone to be a reference and how do you list them for a job? We’re going to break it down for you.

A professional reference is a person who can provide a recommendation or confirm your qualifications for a position. These people should be able to attest to your work ethic, skills and achievements in your past roles. By using people who can give specific examples of your work, credentials and reliability, you are giving your potential new employer great reasons to hire you. 

You may need to include a list of professional references when applying for a job, in addition to your resume and/or cover letter. Or, you may be asked to provide references during or after a job interview. Either way, it’s important to be prepared and have a list on hand and ready to go when the time comes. 

There are a number of people you can select as a professional reference, and they may vary depending on where you’re at in your career.  

Think about the job you’re applying for and the qualifications you need to get hired. Choose references who can attest to those job skills. Good examples of professional references include:

• College professors, coaches or other advisors (especially if you’re a recent college graduate or don’t have a lengthy work history)

• Former employer (the person who hired and paid you)

• Former supervisor (this person may have trained you, overseen your work, provided you with role instruction or direction, dictated your day-to-day tasks, etc.)

• Former coworkers.

• Clients (this could be something you do on your own, such as babysit, dog walk, house sit, etc. Or, it could be people who you provide your professional services to, if you’re a hairdresser, landscaper, dog groomer, etc.).

• Volunteer organization leaders

Just as there are several options for who you should list as a professional reference, there are also examples of people you should never list. Examples of this include:

• Family

• Friends

• Anyone who fired you/any employer you were fired from

• Anyone not expecting a call

• Your cousin’s friend’s daughter’s boyfriend

• A famous person you don’t know

The goal is to choose professionals who can attest to your work ethic and explain to someone why you’re best for the job. Even if you have a coworker who is more of a friend than a coworker, you may want to avoid listing them. Listing the above as references may actually hurt your chances of being hired more than help.

Depending on the position you’re applying for, the application or interviewer may ask for a list of personal or character references. This is just like it says—personal. These people should be able to speak to who you are as an individual, so they should be someone you know relatively well. You want them to be able to share your personality and character with a potential employer.  

While it’s a good idea to have a list of personal references just in case, you should only share them if specifically asked. Good examples include:

When reading an application or speaking with an interviewer, make sure you read carefully and you’re clear whether they would like professional or personal references. That way you can provide them with the exact references they’re looking for, and the best ones to help you get the job. In most cases, they’ll request professional references.

Some job applications or interviewers may request you list your current employer and ask if they have permission to contact them. In most cases, this could be awkward for both you and your current employer. You probably don’t want your employer to know you’re looking for a new job until you know you want the job and you’ve been given an offer.

Most of the time, it’s understood that you won’t include your current employer as a reference for confidentiality reasons. However, you could share their name and contact information once a formal offer is made.  

If you feel comfortable and trust them, you are welcome to list current coworkers as references. Sometimes they may be the most qualified to answer questions about your responsibilities and skills. However, only do so if you feel confident in providing that person’s information. 

The key here is to always make sure you ask someone if you can list them as a job reference, and check in each time you list them. Ensure they are comfortable accepting the role of being a reference. 

Even if you asked them a while ago but are getting back into job searching again, give them a heads up you’re searching again and they may be hearing from someone soon. 

A good way to ask someone to be a reference is either by calling them or sending an email. Ask if they think they know you and/or your work well enough to speak about it, and if they feel comfortable doing so. Or, you could ask them if they feel comfortable giving a positive reference. By asking ahead of time, you give them the opportunity to turn it down if they don’t believe they can or don’t have the time to speak to someone.

Be sure to thank the person in advance for taking the time to talk to a potential employer, and update them on your job status if you get hired. You may also want to ask if they can remain a reference for you in the future should you ever need one. Again, don’t forget to let them know each time you start up your search and list them so they’re aware they may be contacted.

When you apply for jobs or go to an interview, have a copy of at least three references with you. Even if the interviewer doesn’t ask for it, you should offer it up before you leave and encourage them to call. When you list the references, you should include:

Reference Name, Reference Relationship

Company Name

Company Address

Reference Phone Number

Reference Email

Some people list references directly on their resume. While you can do this, it’s better to have a separate reference sheet. This can help ensure your current employer doesn’t get notified—directly or indirectly—that you’re looking for a new job before you’re ready to share it with them.

You may also have a letter of reference or recommendation from a previous employer. You can provide it, along with your reference list, with a job application or upon request after an interview. It’s always a good idea to ask an employer to write you a letter of reference (if you leave on good terms) so you have it to use in the future.

If you’re looking for a new job, you know how difficult it can be to get your foot in the door. It’s a harsh truth, but most resumes simply go in the trash without the applicant getting the time of day.

To stand out you need a solid resume, including a professional reference page.

This article will cover what employment references are, who to have as a professional reference, and the types of professional references to help you create an excellent reference page for your job applications.

What is a reference for a job application?

A professional job reference is a person who can testify to your qualifications for a position. A reference can provide insight into your work ethic, skills, and abilities.

Most prospective employers will ask for at least three references when considering you for a position. So, it’s important to choose your references carefully.

Why is a professional reference important?

The hiring manager doesn’t know you, and they only have limited information to work with. One job posting can receive over 250 resumes, and this makes finding the right candidate a competitive process.

(Image Source)

A professional reference could set you apart.

Employers are looking for reassurance that they’re making the right decision. They also want to know if the skills and experience listed on your resume are accurate. A professional reference can confirm your story.

Why do employers ask for professional references?

Your professional reference will give recruiters insight into how you work in a team, how you perform under pressure, and whether you’re reliable. The right reference will give you credibility and act as a review of your work performance.

Who to include as a job reference

When choosing references, selecting people who can speak to your qualifications for the specific job you’re applying for is important. For instance, if you’re applying for a job in customer service, you should choose a reference who can attest to your friendly and prompt service.

The typical job seeker only writes one resume during their search, which is a mistake. If you do that, your references and experience won’t help your potential employers understand why you’re a good fit for that particular position. So edit your resume and highlight relevant references for each position. Of course, you should also select potential references with whom you have a good relationship and who will speak positively about you.

(Image Source)

It’s also recommended to make sure that your references are aware that you’re using them as a reference. This way, they’re ready to answer any questions that a potential employer may have.

Avoid using friends or family members as references and opt for previous colleagues, teachers, or coaches instead.

Types of professional references

Personal Character reference

A personal reference is an individual who can attest to your personal qualities, such as your integrity or work ethic. These individuals can be community leaders, volunteers, or sports coaches.

Work reference

A work reference is a person who can speak to your professional qualifications and experience. They should have experience working with you in a professional capacity. An excellent work reference would be a previous employer, co-worker, or client.

Academic reference

An academic reference is a person who can speak to your academic qualifications. These individuals could be professors, academic advisors, or school administrators. They should be able to attest to your intelligence, work ethic, and ability to succeed in an academic setting.

When creating your professional reference list, be sure to include a mix of different types of references. This will give the hiring manager a well-rounded view of who you are as a person and a professional.

How many references should you have?

Sometimes the job application will indicate how many references you need. If you’re unsure, aim for three quality references.

If you are applying for a management role in a highly competitive field, consider expanding this list to five.

The order that you list these contacts matters. Start with the most influential person, such as a boss or teacher.

How to choose your professional references

The quality of your professional references is important. You should only choose people who will increase your chances of getting a new job.

(Image Source)

When compiling your list of professional references, keep the following five tips in mind.

1. Determine the type of role you want

The first question you should consider is, “what type of role are you looking for?”

Your reference doesn’t always have to match the job, but they should be able to match the required skill sets.

For example, you may be searching for a position in retail, and your reference could comment on your teamwork, customer service, integrity, and cash handling skills.

You may have a list of potential references that you can mix and match, depending on the position you are applying for.

2. Consider individuals you may know at the organization

Don’t be afraid to use your connections. If you know people who work at the company, ask them whether they’ll vouch for you.

People are usually happy to help a friend, but they will need to feel confident that they can recommend you. They will be putting their reputation on the line, so ensure you have a good relationship.

3. Identify connections between your network and a company employee

If there is a company you have your eye on, ask your network whether they know anyone who works there. Networking can be beneficial. Getting a job often equates to “who you know.”

You can start by browsing the Jobcase community of people or check LinkedIn for connections who work for the company you’d like to get hired at.

Having a reference that the hiring manager knows and trusts can help boost your chances of landing the gig.

4. Consider the length of your relationship with the individual

Recommending a candidate is a big responsibility. You should consider how long you’ve known the person you want to put forth as a reference and the type of relationship you have.

For example, if you worked with an individual for one week back in 1999, they won’t have much to say. They might not even remember you.

But if you’ve worked closely with a co-worker and supported each other in the workplace, they could be a good choice for a professional reference.

5. Consider what they might say about you

92% of recruiters will do a background check before making a hiring decision, and this process includes calling references.

A professional reference may look impressive on your resume, but what will they say about you? The goal is to have positive feedback, but you shouldn’t assume they’ll give you high praise.

Before you apply for your next job, let your reference know they might receive a phone call. You should ask them how they would feel about recommending you.

The top 3 people to use as a professional reference

One glowing reference from a professional can bear more weight than multiple weak references.

So who should you ask? Here are the top three people to consider.

1. Managers you have recently worked with

Managers have authority and usually understand what employers are looking for. If you have a good relationship with a current or previous manager, consider asking them to be your reference.

Try to find someone who’s been your direct supervisor in the workplace. If they’ve witnessed you in action and can pinpoint specific examples of where you excelled, it will be sure to impress any hiring manager.

2. Work colleagues who understand your previous role

Work colleagues often make good references because they’ve had an ongoing working relationship with you. They’ve seen you on a day-to-day basis and can comment on your personal qualities, responsibilities, teamwork, and any tasks you may have performed.

Before you ask a work colleague, think about whether they’ve recently had a positive working experience with you.

3. Academic professionals who know your capabilities

While academic references are often used for internships and school or training programs, they can also support a traditional job application.

Professors and teachers are reputable references. They may have taught you or worked side-by-side on a research project.

Remember, academic references can be in writing and should be from someone that can verify your work ethic. They should still include contact information in case the potential employer has any follow-up questions.

Who shouldn’t you use as a professional reference?

Even though the reference list comes at the end of a resume, that doesn’t mean it isn’t important. You should take care to choose the right people, as their recommendation could be the difference between you and another candidate.

Look for references you’ve worked with recently and avoid anyone who may have something negative to say.

(Image Source)

A professional reference should be a person you’ve worked with — not a friend, neighbor, or family member.

What if you don’t have references for an application?

Most people will have someone they can ask to be on your reference list, even if they don’t have any work experience. Consider whether there is a coach, community leader, or teacher who may be able to put in a good word for you.

Alternatively, you can network by seeking out other professionals.

For example, you might consider volunteering or enrolling in a short course. These types of activities will enhance your resume and give you opportunities to meet potential references.

Remember to update your job references periodically

It’s important to keep your references updated and to select ones relevant to the job you’re applying for. Don’t forget to contact your references periodically to let them know that you’re still using them as a reference and to update them on your latest career accomplishments.

Do you have a list of references ready to provide to prospective employers? If not, line up references who can speak to your credentials and qualifications for a job, so you’re prepared when you’re asked for them.

It’s always a good idea to have a list of references ready to provide to hiring managers when you’re job searching. It’s also important to contact your references for permission to use them and to advise them that they may be contacted. This way, you won’t have to round up a list of reference givers at the last minute.

Have a list of three or four people who can vouch for your expertise and qualifications ready to share with prospective employers.

When and Why Employers Want References

During the job application process, you will most likely be asked for references who can attest to your qualifications. The company may want to verify your credentials and speak to your reference givers to gauge your ability to do the job well.

Typically, this request occurs either when you submit your job application or later in the application process, when the hiring manager is close to making their decision.

The employer will typically specify how many references to include on your list, as well as what contact information you need to provide for each reference.

You will need to format your list of professional references either to include with your application materials, give to the interviewer, or else to email to the hiring manager later on in the hiring process. The employer will typically advise you on how and when to provide references.

As with all communication with a potential employer, from cover letters to thank-you notes, your list of references should be formatted professionally, easy to read and understand, and free of any typos or errors.

What to Include on a Reference List

When you provide a list of professional references to an employer, you should include:

• Your name at the top of the page.
• List your references, including their name, job title, company, and contact information, with a space in between each reference.
• Include at least three professional references who can attest to your ability to perform the job you are applying for.
• If it’s not clear from your resume, you may also wish to include information about your relationship with the reference.

For instance, you could write, “Reference Name was my supervisor while I was an accountant at Smith Enterprises,” or “Reference Name is my current employer.”

Example of a Professional Reference List Format

Here’s how to format a list of professional references for employment or business purposes.

Listing your references on the page isn’t your last step in this process. If you haven’t already, ask permission from each of your references. It’s important only to submit the names of people who have agreed to serve as a reference.

Even if all of your references are happy to be on your list, it’s a good idea to provide a heads-up that someone may be reaching out to them to ask about you. This is a great opportunity to share some information about the job you’re applying for, provide some key points from your resume that you’d like them to emphasize, and generally remind them about your skills and accomplishments, especially if it’s been a while since you worked together.

Once you’ve done all that, review the list of references one last time to make sure there are no typos and that all contact information is correct and up to date. Here are some helpful proofreading tips for job seekers.

Tips for Getting and Submitting References

Who to Use as a Reference. Choosing who to ask for a reference is an important step in your application process. You will want to tailor your reference list, depending on the job for which you’re applying.

When possible, utilize references with connections to the company or industry to which you are applying.

It’s also helpful to use references who can attest to your qualifications for the particular job you’re applying to. With this in mind, it’s great if you can list people who have worked with you in a similar context.

How to Email a Reference List. When you’re emailing a reference list to an employer, name the file so that it’s easy to identify and easy for the hiring manager to keep track of. You may want to send it as a PDF file, so it retains the original formatting. Here’s how:

• For Word Documents: click “File, Save As, PDF (.pdf)” to save your documents as PDF files.
• For Google Docs files: click “File, Download, PDF (.pdf)” document. 
• Save the files with your name, so they don’t get mixed up with other applicants’ materials, e.g., janeapplicant.pdf.

Give the Reference Giver an Opportunity to Decline. When you ask someone to give you a reference, it’s always a good idea to give them an opportunity to decline. While most people are happy to help colleagues out with references and recommendations, there may be personal circumstances or professional policies preventing them from doing so at a particular time.

Consider When to Use a Character or Personal Reference. Remember that there are also circumstances in which you might want to submit a character or personal reference (as opposed to a professional reference) who might be better able to speak to your abilities. This is especially true when you have limited work experience or are branching into a new field.

Professional References and The 4 Best People to Use

So, you got the interview and you think you did pretty well. Now what? Well, they’ll usually ask you for professional references. What is a professional reference? Who should you use as a reference? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. We’ll show you what a professional reference is and show you the best people to use.

---

What is a Professional Reference?

A professional reference is someone your employer contacts who can vouch for you. They’re usually asked to verify that they worked with you and the information you gave them in your resume/interview.

Usually the last step before a company makes an offer is checking your professional references. Think of it as online reviews for a product or service.

You found the product, it looks pretty decent and you’re almost ready to buy. What do you do right before you put in your credit card info? You usually check the reviews to ensure you’re receiving a quality product. It’s pretty much the same for an employer looking to hire someone, they check your professional references to ensure you make a good hire.

Almost a third of employers reported that a bad hire will cost the company over $50,000. With that much hanging on the line, employers really depend on references to vouch for you. For that reason, you need to ensure you use the right references.

Who to Use as a Reference?

1. Boss or manager

The best professional reference is a former (or current) boss or manager. A hiring manager trusts your former boss over any other reference as they’re usually able to provide an unbiased review of you and your work ethic.

You should really reach out to your boss and ask if you can use them as a reference. We put together a good template you can use when asking others to be a reference.

One thing you should keep in mind is to ensure that whoever you’re listing is well-spoken, willing to. be a reference, and will speak of you positively. You, of course, wouldn’t list a boss who you didn’t get along with or one who fired you.

2. Colleagues

The next best thing to listing a boss is a former or current colleague. If you have a few different colleagues to list, pick those with a higher position and title. If you had to choose between a junior accountant and a senior tax adviser, you would of course go with the senior.

Also, as mentioned above, you want to pick someone who will speak highly of you and one who’s a great communicator. You don’t want your reference to be shy as they may have trouble articulating all your awesome qualities.

3. Professors

A professor is an awesome reference to have, especially if you’ve recently graduated or don’t have much work experience. However, if you graduated college over 10 years ago, your professors probably won’t be particularly good references.

4. Other well-known professionals

If you know someone who’s well known in the industry, or has a prestigious title, you can list them as a reference even though you haven’t worked with them. Make sure they can speak about you professionally as you don’t want to list someone who’s just going to say, “he’s a great guy” or “she’s wonderful.”

For example, listing a CEO who knows about you and your professional life is a good reference. Of course, this should be the last reference you include, try to include the most relevant references like a boss or colleague first.

5. Volunteer, Internships and Freelance Work

You can include a reference from volunteer and internship positions as well as clientele from freelance work. This is especially helpful for those who don’t have much work experience.

If you include a client from freelance work you performed, ensure that they’re a professional company and relevant. For example, a web developer who lists a founder of a startup he did some programming work for is a good example.

So, to recap on the best people to use as a reference:

---

People You Shouldn’t Use as a Reference

1. Friends and Family Members

Friends and family members don’t make good references for a job application. Unless the employer asks for a personal reference, you should never include someone from this group. Just think about it: the hiring manager wants some unbiased feedback about you and your professional life and a friend or family member is the worst person to get that from.

Don’t think an employer will be fooled by this, either. It becomes really obvious after a short conversation if your reference has actually worked with you in a professional setting or not.

You could include a colleague who you were friendly with, but just including a friend or family member who’s never worked with you will make you look unprofessional.

2. Fake References

Don’t tell your cousin Vinny to act like he’s the CEO of some bogus company. Hiring managers speak to tons of references and can usually tell a fake reference from a real one. Save yourself the embarrassment and possibility of ruining your reputation.

3. People Who May Speak Negatively

You (of course) shouldn’t list someone who may say something negative about you. You should already know if your reference will speak about you positively but if you just want to make sure, you can reach out to them and ask.

4. Irrelevant References

Here is where many job seekers go wrong: listing someone completely irrelevant will do you more harm than good. What do we mean by irrelevant?

Listing someone for who you worked as a babysitter 10 years ago when you’re applying for a financial analyst position is irrelevant. If you don’t have anyone else, we wrote a great post you may want to check out on other alternatives to when you don’t have any references.

Summary

So, to recap, here are the types of references you shouldn’t include:

Having professional references who are ready to put in a good word for you is super important. Remember not to list your references on a resume, but to have a reference page template ready if the employer asks.

Good luck with your job search!

Links. Why and how they work – articles about Internet marketing and the quality of incoming links, you will hear different answers, but all opinions will range from “substantially dependent” to “extremely highly dependent”.

Yes, more than half of successful site promotion depends on how willingly the owners and webmasters of other resources link to your site.

The logic of the search engines is clear: you can consider your website as relevant and useful as you like, but if others do not consider your site as such, they will not link to you. So, you should not put this site in the first positions in the search results. And vice versa – a lot of incoming links means that other webmasters consider your site worthy of mention, and perhaps a search engine user will also find it useful. Each link from another site to yours is a vote cast in your favor in the eyes of the search engine.

Based on the number and quality of links, Google also calculates such a notorious site evaluation criterion as PageRank. For every web page that Google finds on the web, it calculates a PageRank, or “importance score for that page.” This rating comes down to a scale of 1 to 10, and many experts believe that it significantly affects the distribution of places in the coveted first pages of Google search results.

Note: Since we will still encounter PageRank when describing the work on links, just in case, we recall that you can find out the PageRank of any page by installing the Google Toolbar, and more information about how PageRank is calculated and works can be obtained at the “technology” page and from the authors’ Page Rank article.

At first glance, the above opinions may seem depressing. After all, if the pages of our site are completely at our disposal, and we can change anything on them (i.e., achieve the optimal weight of keywords in the TITLE, URL, HTML headings and text), then work on the quantity and quality of external links in most cases – “dark forest”. After all, even having sent letters with a link exchange offer to a thousand sites, we cannot be sure that all of them will agree to link to us, and even more so – unilaterally. Even to predict the success of such a “campaign” in most cases is difficult.

However, when we understand the problem a bit, the link campaign will no longer seem so mystical and intimidating. It turns out that getting links from many useful sites is not so difficult, that a trained eye, a proven methodology and a system of criteria will help you immediately identify link partners with the greatest potential, and that you can always watch the leaders from the “top ten” to find out how best to build and run your own link exchange and acquisition campaign.

What are links and how do they work

First, let’s look at the types of links. Based on the way links are acquired, they can be divided into 4 types.

1. One-way links . As the name implies, a one-way link does not imply that you will place a reciprocal link from your resource to the partner’s site. Such links often appear spontaneously – the webmaster of another site visits your resource and decides to link to it, often without even notifying you about it. However, no one forbids taking the initiative in acquiring a one-way incoming link by writing to the webmaster of the desired site with a corresponding request. One-way links carry the most weight in the eyes of search engines because they are the hardest to get.

2. Bidirectional links . You offer a potential partner to place a link to his site (or say that you have ALREADY placed), and in return ask for a link from his site. Such links are already less valued by search engines when calculating the weight of your site than one-way links, since the exchange of links can indicate not only that you and your partner value each other’s sites as informative resources, but also that you simply agreed to exchange them in to artificially inflate the ranks of your pages. However, if all of your incoming links (or the vast majority of them) are one-way links, this too can trigger search engine spam protection algorithms, because you are most likely just in the business of buying one-way links. Two-way links are useful for diluting the picture a bit.

3. Paid links . Many sites do not trade links directly, however, by contacting them, it is quite possible to agree on the purchase of a link (if your resources, of course, are similar in subject matter and are not in direct competition at the same time). In addition, there are numerous so-called “link brokers” on the web who, for a fee, can take on the burden of finding potential link partners for you and buying links on your behalf. There are two pitfalls to keep in mind in this process: First, search engines are very negative about buying links, so sites that sell links “overtly” may already be on their “blacklists” and partnering with them can turn into trouble for you. . Secondly, link brokers often do nothing more than simply register your site in directories and indexes that you could easily get into on your own – for example, using programs like Web CEO Submission. For the link obtained in this way, they will take money from you. So before you use the services of a link broker, ask where exactly you will receive incoming links from.

4. Links from directories and content sites . Typically, directories like JoeAnt.com and dmoz.org are manually edited, and if you ask to add your site to a directory, the decision will be made by the person – editor responsible for the content of the directory or the corresponding category, and this decision will take a long time time. Some of these directories are free, others will make you pay to have your site indexed. In any case, directory pages have a high PageRank and are frequently visited by search engines. Therefore, provided that you register in a relevant category, a link from there will have a beneficial effect on your positions in search engines. Content resources (for example, WebProGuide.com) place a link to your site after you publish some content there, most often an article or review. It is not necessary that your article will get a high PageRank or good traffic – however, such resources are usually indexed regularly by search engines, so this is a good way to get a quality one-way link.

How to identify a link map of successful sites

and use it in preparing an action plan

Who do you think will be best able to tell you the most correct link exchange strategy and good potential link partners? Oddly enough, these are your competitors from the top ten! And they will do it without knowing it. The logic is simple – if their strategy helped them to reach high positions, then, more than likely, a similar strategy will help you too. The problem here is – how to collect information about all competitors’ link partners together, and find out which of them are most effective in helping leading sites.

There are two ways to go.

• Go to one of the search engines that provides the service of reporting on incoming links to the site (for example, google.com or yandex.ru), and use the extended (“advanced”) search. You will need to make several clicks before you know how many incoming links to your site are in the database of a given search engine.

  And now, for a moment, imagine that you have to do this regularly to always be aware of which sites already link to you, which ones have removed links, which new links have appeared. subsequently conduct a comparative analysis

• The second way is to automate the whole process using a program specially created for this purpose – for example, the Web CEO Link Popularity tool, which we will use as a demo later.

First, you can use the “My Site” report by adding your competitor’s URL as the site to investigate. This way you get information about the total number of links that you need to collect in order to achieve such positions. We advise you to focus on information from Yahoo or MSN, since Google is notorious for its tendency to show far from all incoming links that it stores in its database and uses for calculations.

Next, you go to the “Competition” report, where you can get the same numbers, only for several sites at the same time: it becomes possible to compare yourself with several competitors and estimate the amount of work required.

With the “Who links to me” report (again using a competitor’s URL as the site under study) you get the treasured information about who links to the leaders. This is almost a ready-made list for your own mailing list. Why “Almost”? Next, we will explain how to filter this list in order to select only the most profitable partners.

The Link Text Analysis report helps you determine which keywords other sites are using when linking to competitors. The words used in the links themselves play a big role in determining the relevance of pages by search engines.

Finally, you use the Linking Sites Overview report to find out which sites are linking to more than one of your competitors at the same time. First, since a link from this site has helped several competitors, not just one, the chances are higher that this site will also be useful for your positions. Secondly, you get additional confidence that this site is not a satellite or partner of one of your competitors, which helps to save time on correspondence with unpromising partners.

Operational tracking of your site’s link map

So, you’ve got a real and fairly complete picture of the links to your site, studied the map of your competitors’ incoming links, thereby “peeping” their strategy for increasing the citation index. .. But a one-time check is not enough – webmaster (or the site owner) should always be aware of how many resources are linking to their site, what those resources are, which incoming links have disappeared, and why.

For such comparative analysis, it is enough to rescan the report you are interested in, previously obtained using the Link Popularity tool, and you will see fresh data in comparison with the previous report, the best report or the first scan. At the same time, data can be displayed, saved, printed both in the form of tables and in the form of graphs.

Based on the results of regular scans, the Link Popularity tool database generates a history of all scans for each analyzed page/site. In addition, to facilitate your work and automate the reanalysis process, you can use the convenient and simple solution from the Web CEO program. A task scheduler called Scheduler will give you the ability to program the Web CEO’s job so that certain tasks run automatically at the desired interval (say, every Monday at 10:00 am). You can specify for which project (website) the task should be performed and select one of the previously created profiles that contain the specific settings necessary to complete the task (the list of search engines on which backlinks are checked, the list of analyzed websites, etc.).

HTML Links

Links are the basis of hypertext documents, as they allow you to move from one site to another with a simple mouse click. Thanks to links, a web page is structured and links with other sections of this document, which provides users quick and convenient obtaining information. HTML uses element 9 to create a link.0097 , the so-called anchor (from the English anchor). To turn the selected text into a link, place it between the opening and closing tags – … and using the attribute href (short for hypertext reference (hypertext link)) specify the URL (Universal Resource Locator) , universal resource locator), in other words, the address of the page to be navigated to. The URL must be enclosed in quotation marks. If you want nothing to happen when you click on the link, which is necessary during training, then as the value of the attribute href can be specified
sharp sign – (#) .

The following example creates a link to the “wm-school” website:

HTML example:

Try it yourself

---

 Go to to wm-school 

In most browsers, link text is displayed in blue with an underline. When you hover your mouse over a hyperlink, the pointer will turn into a hand. Visited links tend to turn purple.

Absolute and relative links

The browser needs to be told which document to follow the link to. Attribute href (hypertext link) contains the page address (URL) and passing it to the browser tells which document to follow the link to. In most cases, links lead to other HTML documents, but links can also lead to other objects, such as images, archives, video files, and so on. The link address can be either absolute or relative.

Absolute URL

An absolute URL contains the protocol designator (http:// or https://), the site name (for example, wm-school.ru), the file path, and the file name (for example, file.html). The protocol and site name can be prefixed with www:

As a rule, links with and without the www prefix lead to the same page. But there may also be situations when a link without the www prefix opens, but the browser does not find the same page with www at all. The reverse situation also occurs. The reason may be intentional or incorrect configuration of the web server.

The following example creates an absolute link to a third-party web resource:

HTML example:

 Go to the wm-school website  

In this example, the link of the form Link Text

Creating a link to a document located one directory below

If you need to go to http://mysite.ru /animals/home/wild/message.html , then the link can be specified like this:

CREATION LINKS TO A FILE TWO LEVELS ABOVE

When moving from http://mysite.ru/animals/home/wild/message.html

Tip : Looking at Figure 1, you can easily understand that moving from the “parent” to the “daughter” you need to set points, respectively, moving to the “grandchild”, these points need to be set twice, etc.

Link to an email address

A mailto link is a special kind of link that helps users send a message for you. If the link uses the protocol mailto , it can be associated with an email address. Creating a link to an email address is done in much the same way as linking to a web page. Attribute value href must begin with the word mailto : followed by the email address to which the visitor should send their email.

The following example creates a link to an email address:

HTML example:

Try it yourself

---

 Email Message 

In order for the mail program to start, the appropriate settings must be set in the browser. It follows that the mail link will not work as it should for all users. But, if you enter the email address itself as the link text, then even those visitors who do not have the mailto function on their computer can use it.

Rules for writing URLs

When creating links, it is important to adhere to the following rules to avoid common mistakes:

• When creating links, do not use a backslash (\), such a mistake makes your links broken. Web URLs use only forward slashes (/). On the Windows operating system, the backslash is used when specifying the path to files on the computer (for example, D:\Images\elefant.png).
• Don’t start a link URL with your computer’s drive name (C:, D:, etc.). Links between pages of a document will work while it’s on a local server, but when you host your site on a remote web server, those links will stop working.
• Absolute URL, must begin with the protocol designation http:// or https:// .
• Do not use file paths as URLs. Using the file protocol, you can create a link to a file located on your computer (for example, file:///D:/Themes/lessons.html). However, such a link will not work on the web or on other computers.
• Do not use spaces or special characters in file and folder names, even if they are valid characters. For example, when requesting a document with the file name “Web Master.html”, the browser will convert a space into a special character code (%) i.e. Web%20Master.html. Use only numbers, letters, hyphens (-), and underscores (_) in file names.
• Any link is an inline element, so you can’t place block elements inside elements, but you can put a link in a block container element.

Opening links in a new window

To create a link that opens a page in a new browser window, you can use the target attribute of the opening tag of the element. The value of this attribute must be set to _blank . Most often, links of this type are placed if they transfer the visitor to a third-party site. In this case, site builders hope that the visitor will return to their site after viewing the opened page, because in this case your site remains open in the visitor’s original window and does not let him forget about you. Some users love the display in a separate window, while others find the new windows more annoying than comfortable. Therefore, use this technique sparingly, only to some links and, at the same time, it will not be superfluous to warn the visitor in advance that the page will open in a new window.

The following example shows how to create a link that opens a page in a new browser window:

HTML example:

Try it yourself

---

 Visit our homepage!
If you set the value of the target attribute to "_blank", 
 then the link will open in a new window or tab. 
 

If you set the value _blank for all links on the web page, then each of these links will be opened by the visitor in a new window, as a result, the user may have a great many open windows. To avoid this situation, you can give the target window an individual name that can be specified in links instead of the value _blank . The following link will open in a new window named _window :

HTML example:

Try it yourself

---

 Visit the homepage our website! 
 Learn HTML
If you set the target attribute value of all links to "_window", 
 then the links will open in a new window named window.
 

Set each link on your web page to _window instead of _blank and all documents you link to will open in the same second window, and your site will remain open in the original window .

The target attribute can have the following values:

Value	Description
_blank	Open the page in a new window or tab.
_self	Open the page in the same window (this is the default).
_parent	Used when working with frames and allows you to open the page in the parent frame; if there are no frames on the current page, then this value works like _self.
_top	Used when working with frames and allows you to open the page in a full browser window, replacing all the frames that were on the page; if there are no frames on the current page, then this value works like _self.
framename	Open the page in a new window with the name framename .

Link tooltip

Another useful link helper attribute is title , which allows you to create a tooltip for your link. Such a hint gives the user additional information about what awaits him under the link. The tooltip is displayed when the mouse cursor lingers over the link, after which the tooltip disappears after a while.

Sample HTML:

Try It Yourself

---

 
The tooltip is displayed when the mouse cursor lingers over a link.
 

Creating a link to a specific position on a page scrolling, or to return to the top of the page with a single click. You can create links to different sections of the current web page, or to a specific location on another web page. The place on a web page where you send your visitor is called a snippet. Creating a link to a specific area of ​​the page is a two-step process. Before creating a link to a specific page fragment, you need to mark this section of the page (create a bookmark) using the attribute

id , which assigns a unique name to any HTML element on the page.

Step 1: Create a bookmark on the page

A bookmark on a particular fragment of the page is set using the attribute id . In the professional language of web developers, it is called the fragment identifier. The value of attribute id must start with a Latin letter or underscore (starting with a number or any other character is not allowed). Also, on the same web page, multiple bookmarked elements cannot have the same attribute value of id . Let’s say you want to send the reader to a Level 2 heading on our web page. Give the header a unique name (in this case, the name is absolut ).

Our bookmark will look like this:

 
Absolute URL
 

You’ve essentially created a bookmark fixed to the heading “Absolute URL”.

Step 2: Create a link to a bookmark

To create a link to an element with an attribute value of id would require a element whose href attribute value must begin with the (#) hash symbol followed by the id attribute value of the marked element. Next, create a link that takes the reader to a bookmark named absolut on the current page:

 Go to "Absolut URL" 

This link refers to the element

, located in another part of the web page, whose attribute has id set to absolut . The hash mark (#) in front of the name is needed to indicate that this is a fragment and not a filename.

Now, if you click on the link: Go to “Absolute URL”, the browser will take you to the section starting with the heading “Absolute URL”.

Creating a link to a fragment of another document

To create a link to a specific part of another page located in another document (on your site or on a third-party site), you need to add the attribute value 9 to the end of the URL of the page0097 id of the desired element, separating them with the symbol (#) . For example, a link to the heading “All about elephants” on a page from another document in the same directory would look like this:

 Go to elephants on another page 

You can also link to a specific snippet on a page on another site by ending the absolute URL with the snippet ID followed by a pound sign, like this:

 Go to hippos on another site 

You can’t set identifiers on other site pages, they can be created by the author himself . To find out if there are bookmarks on someone else’s page and where they are, you can, of course, look at the source code and find the corresponding markup. In the case when the designated fragments in the external document are deleted, the page under the link will still load, but, as in the case of regular links, the browser will display the page from the very beginning.

Example of creating a bookmark link from another web page:

HTML example:

Try it yourself

---

 Go to kbd tag on another page
Go to hippos on another site 

In this example, the first link leads to the html_code_elements.html file located on the site in the same directory, when you open this file, you go to a bookmark with the name kbd .
The second link is to a nature.html file located on another site (worldanimals.com), opening that file takes you to a bookmark called hippo .

Link images

Graphic images can be used not only as illustrations, but also as links. In other words, a new page will open when you click on the picture. To ensure that the image works as a link to other web resources, it is enough to place the image inside the element like this:

HTML example:

Try it yourself

---

When you hover over an image in a link, the pointer turns into a hand.
