How to learn the alphabet?

The study of any language begins with an acquaintance withthe alphabet. It is the combination of letters that gives the written designation of words, and the combination of sounds is its sound. There is no uniformity in the study of the alphabet - advice on the study of letters, authoring techniques are numerous.

Learning the Russian alphabet

Russian alphabet in a modern form, consisting of33 letters, exists since 1918. Each letter has a name, for example the letter B is called "Be", and M is "Em". Usually with the native language the child gets acquainted with the first days of life. Psychologists and teachers disagree on the age with which to begin to teach the child the ABC, how to learn the alphabet.

One of the methods is the use of cardswith a written letter and a drawn object, whose name begins with this letter. It's better if the drawing is not one, but two or three. However, the letter should be the brightest on the card. From different objects (cubes, jars, buttons, pencils, clips, etc.), you can lay out the letters, clearly pronouncing their names, words in which these letters are.

First, with the letter being studied, the word mustbegin, and then you can say the words in which the letter appears in the middle and at the end. Cards with letters can be cut into pieces and assembled into one.

A good help in learning the alphabet are "memorabilia": poems or songs in which letters are listed. Singing the alphabet on different motifs, we raise the level of memorization.

In studying a new letter, you can act according to this pattern:

1. Show the child a card with a letter, clearly and loudly call it, ask him to repeat (if you teach the whole class, then in chorus, and then individually ask everyone to name the letter). Explain how the letter is correctly pronounced and how the sound that corresponds to it is correctly pronounced (in many cases there are differences).

2. Name the words that begin with this letter.

3. Slowly, beautifully and correctly write down a new letter in uppercase and lowercase, then ask the children to record both versions in their notebooks. If necessary, slowly at the same time as the children, write down the letters on the chalkboard again so that they can see how to correctly draw a letter on paper, remember it and then repeat it.

English alphabet

The easiest way to draw an analogy between the lettersEnglish alphabet and Russian. In the English alphabet only 26 letters. For beginners, Russian transcription is given in the textbooks, although learning English will have to learn English transcription, since it is used in dictionaries. Soviets, how to learn the English alphabet, there are a lot of textbooks and Internet resources.

Choose your option and stick to the schedulestudy. Songs and poems to facilitate memorization, cards with letters and transcription, spread out throughout the apartment, will speed up the learning process. Multiple repetition is the basis of memorization.

Accelerated training

How fast can I learn the alphabet? Start learning not in alphabetical order, but with the most common letters. Devote one letter a day or two. Use improvised materials, associative series, aesthetic perception. Vision, hearing and mechanical memory should be applied in a comprehensive manner.

Use the computer's ability to download special training programs. When you press the keyboard, an image of the letter appears on the monitor and its name is pronounced with a voice.

Age of child

The age at which to start learningchildren, is not defined. Teachers and psychologists are arguing on this issue. It is well known that the learning ability of children is high, even from a very early age, and already in three or four years the child is able to memorize all the letters of the alphabet.

One of the main features of teaching childrenis a game. In the form of a game, children easily remember information. You can draw letters and objects, in the name of which there is a letter, to sculpt from plasticine or from salted dough, painting stucco letters. Letters from balls and even cookies-alphabet - all this can be used for teaching children.

Given the characteristics of development, only attentive and caring parents can determine how to learn the alphabet with the child. It is important not to force or overstrain the baby.
