Alphabet letters for children

Teach your Child the Alphabet Here!

Anyone who has kids or has taught them will tell you how difficult it can be to get them to focus on anything for extended periods of time, especially if it’s anything educational. That’s why we’ve came up with a couple of creative options you can try to coax kids into learning and hopefully remembering their ABC’s:

Here are some other ways:
Drive Somewhere:
This one is fairly easy to pull off, especially if you drive your kids on the morning school run. All you have to do is point at things like billboards or licence plates and have your children work their way through the letters on it.

It’s an interesting way of learning and it has the added benefit of keeping your kids amused on those long haul journeys or when you’re stuck in traffic.

Alphabet Challenge:
This one can be a lot of fun if you do it right. What you need to do is call out a series of letters or show your children letters on a board for a few brief seconds then have them write a word associated with that letter.

So for example, you would say the letter ‘b’ and they would then have to write ‘ball’, ‘bee’ or if they’re trying to show off ‘byzantine’, although the latter would probably be a bit of a fluke.

Make Alphabet Snacks:
It’s common knowledge that kids love snacks, they will devour everything animal shaped or colorful that’s put in front of them like a pack of tiny piranhas. So what better way to funnel this hunger than by making them snacks based on the alphabet.

However, instead of turning them loose on the undefended cookies you could tell them to only eat one specific letter.

For example, they can only eat something that’s shaped like the letter ‘a’. That way they start to associate learning the alphabet with treats, which in turn helps to motivate them to learn more.

Sing-Along-Songs:
Sing-Along-Songs are perhaps your best weapon in the war against getting your kids to learn the alphabet. These catchy little tunes are always fun to sing with your children and they will always love a chance to sing a silly song.

If you really want it to stick you could do it every day to maximize the effects of the hypnotic melodies.

Alphabet Bingo:
This one is a ton of fun to play and set up; you can try wrangling your kids in to help you make the cards. For bonus parent points you could let them customize their cards, which will in turn help nurture their own creativity.

How it works is, you sit your kids down and they each have a card with a series of letters on it, you then sound out the letter as if you were a bingo caller and the kids tick off the appropriate squares on their card. The first child to fill in their card or make a horizontal or vertical line is the winner.

If you want to get really creative you could say words instead of letters and the kids can mark off the first letter of the word. Or if you want to help them with their spelling you could change it to the second, third or fourth letter, although you should make sure the letters you’re using will appear on the cards.

Alphabet Bag Game:
Last, but not least is the Alphabet Bag game. This activity is pretty straightforward to set up; you need a bag and an assortment of items.

Once you have your bag you then show the contents to the kids and ask them to pick an item beginning with a specific letter out of it without looking. If they get it right they win, simple as that.

These are just a couple of creative ideas you can try to help your children learn the alphabet, each child will take to these various activities differently, it just depends on how fun you make it for them.

When you’re making your own game at home just remember that your main focus of the activity is to make it as fun as possible for your kids, otherwise they won’t show any interest in it at all.

Easy Putty
Here is a recipe for putty that the kids really enjoy. This putty is stretchy, rubbery and bounces like a ball and it picks up newspaper comics. Just like the store bought stuff!

1 Tbs. liquid starch
Food coloring
2 Tbs. white glue
Plastic Easter Egg or Zip lock baggie
Mix white glue and food coloring together in a small bowl. Pour liquid starch into a second small bowl. Slowly pour the glue mixture on top of the liquid starch. Allow the concoction to stand for 5 minutes or until the glue absorbs the liquid starch.

Remove putty from bowl and knead (At first this mixture may look as if its a mistake, but it isn’t. The more you knead the putty, the better the consistency will be) Store the putty in a plastic Easter Egg or baggie. This makes enough for one child.

P is for puzzle
You can use this on a Christmas card, old greeting card or even photo. Remove the front of the card (the picture part) and attach a magnetic sheet to the back. You can laminate the front of the card if you want but it isn’t required. Cut the card in six to eight squares depending on the size of your card.

Place the card on your refrigerator and the kids can mix up all the pieces and then put them back in order to make the picture again.

Russian alphabet for children. Learning letters in order

Here you will find the Russian alphabet for children from "A" to "Z" in pictures with tasks for each letter. Colorful pictures and funny letters will not leave your child indifferent! In each task, the child will be asked, of all the pictures that are on the page with the letter being studied, to circle only those whose names begin with this letter. The tasks are more suitable for children who have already practically learned the alphabet and have an idea of which letter in a word is capitalized.

Before you start learning the alphabet, try to clearly explain to your child the difference between a letter and a sound, as well as their relationship with each other, so as not to create confusion in the baby's head. To facilitate the task, make a transcription of several words and clearly show the child how these words can be painted with sounds.

Before you start learning the Russian alphabet for children and complete our tasks, in which all letters are studied in order from "A to Z", you need to conduct a transcription lesson with your child. Using the example of transcription, it will be easier for the baby to understand why there are more sounds in the alphabet than letters, because the child will see that in some cases, one letter can mean not one, but two sounds. The kid should also know that the soft sign serves to soften the consonants, the hard sign makes the sound hard, but these letters themselves cannot transmit sound.

It is best to start learning the Russian alphabet with vowels, and the sequence does not matter here. You should not try to cover all the vowels at once, it will be very difficult for the baby, start by learning 3-4 letters. Classes should not be long, it is better to conduct them more often, at least 5-6 times a day. Start learning the next letters no earlier than 3 days later, making sure that the baby has firmly remembered the previous letters.

After the child has learned all the vowels, offer him to complete tasks with these letters, which you can download in the attachments at the bottom of the page of this material. Put all the tasks with vowels on the table in front of the baby and ask him to name which letters he is familiar with. When you make sure that all the letters are named by the child correctly, read the condition of the first task to him and ask him to complete it, then the next one, and so on.

Russian alphabet in order - Find pictures for each letter

Here you can view and download all the pictures with tasks in which the Russian alphabet is presented in order. In the process of studying the Russian alphabet, it is necessary to explain to children with examples that very often in Russian we pronounce one sound in a word, but in writing it is a completely different letter, for example: we hear "abezyan" and write "monkey", "karova "- "cow" and so on.

If all tasks with vowels are completed, and you are convinced that the child has mastered the material well, start studying consonants. Just before that, I would like to note the following: now you should introduce the baby not to the name of the letter, but to its sound, it is very important that parents understand this and do not make mistakes that will then be difficult to correct.

Let's explain why: in the future, when you start teaching your baby to read by syllables, it will be very difficult for you to teach your child to connect syllables, because a baby who has learned the names of the letters "EN", "EM", "KA" will be confused - why combining the letter "EM" and "A", the syllable "MA" is obtained, not "EMA" ... Therefore, during classes it is necessary to use only sounds: if it is the letter "EN" - use the sound "N", if the letter "DE " - the sound "D" and so on.

5 easy and quick ways to learn the alphabet with a child 3-6 years old - Somersault

Before you teach your child the alphabet, it is important to understand what you will not be doing. Namely, learning to read. This is a more complex skill, so it is worth putting it off until the time when the child gets acquainted with all the letters and will confidently recognize them and write on their own. Until then, put off the alphabet and reading by syllables.

In this article, we have put together the basic principles to quickly learn the Russian alphabet with a 3-6 year old child in a playful way. For all games with letters, you can use plasticine, paints and any improvised means or magnetic letters TUMBLING - they will easily attract the attention of the child.

How to Learn the Alphabet Easily: Basic Principles

Each child can find an easy way to learn the alphabet that suits them best, but there are basic principles that are important for all children. If you do not follow them, study will turn into drill and the child is unlikely to ever love to read. Here are a few such principles on how to properly learn the alphabet for a child.

Learn sounds first, not letters . At the first stage of learning, it does not matter how the letters in the alphabet are called correctly. Now only sounds are important for the child - "d", and not the letter "De". The names of the letters will only confuse the child, who first needs to learn to recognize the shape of the letters and their sound.
Not learning the alphabet in the correct order . Until a child goes to school, it is of no use to him to know how the letters are arranged in the alphabet. This information will only distract him from what is really important: how the letters look and sound. The sequence of the alphabet can be learned later or even at school, where this knowledge will be tested by the teacher.
Do not turn learning into a lesson . Learning from call to call is difficult even for children at school, let alone a baby. Therefore, all learning should take place in a playful way and not for long: 5-7 minutes a day to get acquainted with the letters will be enough. Gradually, this time can be increased, especially if the child likes the proposed games with letters.
Use material objects . At the age of 3-6 years, the child learns the world by touch and taste. It is difficult for him to work with abstract letters spoken aloud. Therefore, it is better to stock up on plasticine and paints and create letters that are more understandable to the child and can be touched. Such a game for children will allow the child to learn the letters of the alphabet and he will recognize them in different forms regardless of what they are made of.
First vowels, then consonants . Vowel sounds are easier to pronounce, so it's worth starting with them.

The main thing is not to force anyone. If you see that the child is inquisitive, enjoys exploring the world and is ready to learn, you can move on to learning letters and the alphabet. So the child will be happy to learn the alphabet in a playful way and gradually learn to read. So that the game is not abstract, you can use the magnetic letters TUMBLING.

5 ways to learn the alphabet with your child

1. Use an interesting topic to study

Use your child's interest to spur his motivation to learn. For example, if your kid is crazy about cars, let them be the topic in which you learn the alphabet. Use any words related to cars:

"A" - bus
"B" - trunk
"C" - driver, etc.

You can show cars and their parts, draw or sculpt from plasticine. It is important that the child's focus shifts from learning to doing what they love. Additionally, the method will help expand vocabulary and knowledge about the world.

2. Cross out a letter of the alphabet in the list

Fill in a small square with arbitrary letters. The task is to cross out only the letter that you are studying. This will help the child focus on one letter and not get distracted by the ones he doesn't remember or don't know.

3. Take the letters of the alphabet out of the pouch

The soft-touch magnetic letters are perfect for this method. Put the letters in a bag and give the child the task, without looking, to pull out only the letter that you thought of. Let there not be too many letters in the bag, otherwise the child will get confused. 6-7 pieces will be enough. To start, use letters that are very different in shape, such as "O" and "M". Gradually, the complexity can be increased and searched among similar letters, for example, "K" and "X". Don't forget to praise and encourage your child. You can alternate the learning process with desktops.

4. Recognize letters of the alphabet by ear

You pronounce a word, and if it contains a hidden letter, the child claps his hands.

With this game for kids, you can learn individual letters or the entire alphabet. For example, you name a word, and the child inserts its first letter into the insert frame. To stimulate your child's interest, you can use only words from his favorite topic, for example, the names of animals.

5. Guess words starting with the first letter

You choose one letter and think of a word that starts with that letter. For example, the letter "Z":

- What is this animal with big ears and loves carrots?
- Hare!

This game form is again suitable for learning individual letters or the entire alphabet. If you learn only one letter, the child gets used to quickly recognizing it in different words. And if you give words with different letters, the child as a whole learns to understand with which letter they begin. With the study of the account and the English language will also help TUMBLING.

From the alphabet to reading

When a child learns the Russian alphabet, confidently recognizes all the letters in different words and can draw or mold them on his own, it is worth moving on to reading. Because you need to learn the alphabet just so that the child can read. If knowledge is not used, it will hang as an extra burden, and by the time school will be forgotten. Therefore, you should not learn the alphabet too early: at 3-4 years old, a child is simply not interested in reading books in order to learn something new. He is more interested when his mother reads. Conversely, by the age of six, the child will be glad to have his own books to read them himself.
