Play is a leading activity in preschool age. Recognizing this statement in theory, in practice many teachers, unfortunately, often forget about it. They use purely didactic games during work with children. Manuals devoted to the teaching of reading often simply state the tasks, which only refer to play, but do not give examples of practical situations. Thus play is underutilized and its main components ( imaginary situation , role taking, substitutions ) are virtually absent. As a result the pedagogical process is more like a study in elementary school . Some children at 6 years of age can learn in the frame of such didactics, but children of 3–5 years can not gain developmental results without play. In the article educational games in the form of role-play didactics are presented.

The paper discusses the following questions: “How to start learning to read? How to make sure that the child will learn reading with pleasure? At what stages to divide the learning process? How to prepare classes that will not be rejected by the child at first attempts to teach him to read?” Children who immediately refuse to learn to read have classes that are built in a wrong way - not taking into account individual characteristics of children, their difficulties, missing the necessary for them steps, hurting children with the references to the successful learning experience of other children. It is shown that to be ready to learn to read is very important. If a child is not ready, a preparatory phase is needed, the duration of which is individual (from 2-3 days to 2-3 months). Adults should also be prepared for classes with the child. It is noted that, otherwise, the preparatory phase for adults is also needed. The author’s play method of determining readiness to read is introduced.
