ABC Games & Alphabet Sounds

Many parents have kids that are soon to enter kindergarten for the first time and are wondering what their kids should know before they head out to school on their own.

As a mom who once taught Kindergarten, I always wanted to make sure my kids are well-prepared and ready to begin their school career with a bit of an advantage by knowing their letters and sounds.

I have seen the value in children knowing their letters early.

That said, I also recognize that kids are kids, and I want to make sure they have time to play – both independently and with me.

Let’s learn our alphabet through playing games!

Learning Through Alphabet Games

Children acquire knowledge through play, so learning letters at our house is rarely a sit down structured time.

It’s a time of play and games!

The kids have fun and don’t even realize they are learning at the same time. I don’t believe we should leave teaching up to the schools. You get the great honor of being an educator of your child, and you can supplement what is happening at school by engaging your child in enjoyable yet educational ways.

GAMES WITH SOUNDS AND LETTERS

Speech sounds and the letters they represent in writing play an important role in language learning. The ability to distinguish individual sounds in a stream of speech is called phonemic hearing. Games with words, when the child is asked to listen carefully and notice changes in words, as well as to pronounce words in syllables, are the key points in the formation of phonemic hearing. This will help in learning to read.

Before you start teaching your baby to read, you need to explain to him that words consist of sounds or phonemes. This understanding underlies the formation of phonemic skills.

WHAT THE DOLL LOVES

TEACHING TO THINK

1. You will need a finger puppet that will tell the child what she likes.

2. Having heard the doll's first phrase, the baby should continue it with a word beginning with the same letter. For example, if the doll loves popcorn, the child might say "pie" or "pizza".

3. You can come up with a few more words for the same letter or ask the doll to tell more.

4. Pictures cut out of magazines will help your child remember words.

LETTER BALLOON

Try to complete the alphabet without dropping the balloon on the floor once.

SPEAK A SOUND

1. You will need a poster with the letters of the alphabet.

2. Point to a letter and ask your child to say the sound it represents.

3. First, choose letters that the child knows.

4. Then add a new letter. Children often confuse the sounds "b" and "d", so they can be added first.

5. When the baby can name all the letters and sounds with confidence, offer to play in a different way. You pronounce the sound, and the child shows the corresponding letter.

SING A NEW WAY

2. Cut out from magazines pictures of objects and animals familiar to the baby, whose names consist of 3 letters (cat, ball, oak, chalk, soup, juice, etc.).

3. Ask the child to choose any picture. Explain that now he will need to name all the sounds in this word in order, and you will help him.

4. For example, the kid has chosen a picture of a cat. Show one finger and ask the child to name the first sound in the word "cat", i.e. "k" sound. Now show two fingers - the baby should say "o". Show 3 fingers and ask to pronounce the third sound in the word, i.e. "t".

5. Repeat the exercise several times and then ask the child to switch roles. Now let him show his fingers, and you name the sounds.

6. After successfully completing this task, move on to four-letter words.

LISTEN TO SOUNDS

DEVELOP THOUGHT

middle of the word "cat").

2. First, use the same sound that occurs at the beginning, middle and end of the word, and then, when this task becomes too easy for the baby, include several sounds at once in the song.

3. Sing a song to the motive "Far, far away in the meadow ko..."

Here are the words "poppy", "ball", "moss",

Name the first sound in them.

(pause, child answers "m")

That's right, "m"!

Here are the words "oak", "onion", "soup",

Name the middle sound in them.

(pause, child says "y")

That's right, "y"!

Here are the words "juice", "poppy", "cancer",

Name the last sound.

(pause, the child answers "k")

That's right, "k"!

REMOVING THE FIRST SOUND

DEVELOPING LISTENING SKILLS

Group play

1. The purpose of this exercise is to help children understand that the meaning of a word changes when the first sound is removed or replaced in it.

2. Ask the children to sit in a circle. Explain that sometimes, if you remove the first sound in a word, you can get a new word.

3. Say, for example, the word "chalk", emphasizing the first consonant, and ask the kids to repeat after you again.

Then say "ate" and ask the little ones to repeat after you again.

4. Ask which sound has disappeared and repeat both words again.

5. This is a rather difficult task. Perhaps the children will be able to repeat after you only the second word "ate" the first time. They need time to learn to identify the missing sound.

6. Children can name words in rhyme instead of the missing sound. In this case, it is important not to mix two different exercises and concentrate on the first sound.

Knock knock knock. it's a sound

DEVELOPS A SENSE OF RHYTHM

1. Sit your baby at the table.

2. Say a simple word (for example, "cat", "juice") and ask the child to hit the table as many times as there are sounds (phonemes) in this word.

3. Have the child count the sounds of the word out loud.

4. Say the word again, separating each phoneme (for example, "k" "o" "t").

5. If the child is interested, continue the game.

CLAP LIKE ME

DEVELOPS LISTENING SKILLS

1. The ability to feel and repeat the rhythm is very important for the formation of phonemic hearing.

2. Explain to the child that he will first need to carefully listen to the rhythm that you set by clapping, and then repeat it at your signal.

3. Start with a simple rhythm (eg 2 claps, pause, 2 claps, pause, 2 claps). Choose a rhythm taking into account the age and preparedness of the baby.

4. You can also say the words rhythmically and change the tone of your voice. For example, say "cat, cat, cat", but say the last word louder.

5. Have your child repeat after you.

SOUNDS AND JUMPING

DEVELOPS AGGRESSION

Group Play

1. Draw a few thin lines with chalk on the floor or asphalt (their number may vary).

2. Before the start of the game, the participants stand on the first line.

Explain the rules: you pronounce the word, the children listen and count the sounds in it, and then stand on the line corresponding to the number of sounds in the word.

3. Begin, for example, with the word "cat". Say the word and command: "Begin!"

4. The guys have to jump forward as many lines as there are sounds in this word. The one who correctly completed the task (i. e. ended up on the third line) remains in place. The one who made a mistake returns to the first line.

5. The game ends when each child completes the task correctly. Children who have difficulty learning sounds need more time. Therefore, it is necessary to give each child a chance to complete the task correctly.
