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 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.

After the child has learned all the consonants, start doing the tasks!

Boring English for children: learning the alphabet

It is better to learn any foreign language from childhood. It is known that children who grew up in a multilingual environment are much easier to adapt and absorb new information much faster.

In order for a child to start learning English as early as possible and not get bored of this process, it is enough to turn boring learning into a game. So it will become much easier for the baby to memorize new words and phrases, and you will spend time with your child not only fun, but also productive.

In this article we will talk about how to learn the English alphabet in a simple and easy way for both children and all beginners and give some poems and songs for learning.

English alphabet

The English alphabet is called alphabet or simply ABC. It has 26 letters, of which 20 are consonants and only 6 are vowels.

Vowels: A, E, I, O, U, Y
Consonants: B, C, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, T, V, W, X, Z

Alphabet with transcription and pronunciation:

Aa [ei] [hey]
Bb [bi:] [bi]
Cc [si:] [si]
Dd [di:] [di]
Ee [i:] [i]
Ff [ef] [ef]
Gg [dʒi:] [ji]
Hh [eitʃ] [eh]
Ii [ai] [ai]
Jj [dʒei] [jay]
Kk [kei] [kei]
Ll [el] [el]
Mm [em] [em]
Nn [en] [en]
Oo [ou] [o]
Pp [pi:] [pi]
Qq [kju:] [cue]
Rr [a:] [aa, ar]
Ss [es] [es]
Tt [ti:] [ti]
Uu [ju:] [yu]
Vv [vi:] [vi]
Ww [ `dʌbl `ju: ] [double]
Xx [eks] [eks]
Yy [wai] [wai]
Zz [zed] [zed]

Almost all letters of the alphabet are pronounced the same by Americans and British, except for the last one. In American English, Z will sound like "zi" [ziː].

The study of the alphabet usually begins with an alphabet song (alphabet song): this way it is easier for the child to remember the pronunciation. She sings along the lines:

Do you know your ABC?
You can learn along with me!
A, B, C, D, E, F, G
H, I, J, K
L, M, N, O, P
Q, R, S,
T, U, V
W, X, Y and Z
Now you know your alphabet!

By the way, due to the difference in the pronunciation of the letter "Z", the end of this song will sound different in the British and American versions:

British

X, Y, Z - Now I know my alphabet (Now I know my alphabet) or Now you know your alphabet (Now you know your alphabet).

American

Now I know my ABC, twenty-six letters from A to Z Now I know my ABC, next time won't you sing with me (Now I know my alphabet, would you like to sing with me next time).

It is with the study of the alphabet that an exciting journey into any foreign language begins. Everyone needs to know ABC by heart in order to know how to write and pronounce individual letters correctly. Especially if you need to spell a word. Spelling is how a word is spelled. There is no direct analogue of spelling in Russian, but the Americans even have a whole Spelling Bee game in which you need to spell a word without errors. Spelling Bee competitions and competitions are often held in the USA.

But you need to start simple, especially for children. We tell you a few tricks on how to make it so that your child learns the alphabet as easy as ABC (easier than easy).

Word Cards

One effective way to learn new words and remember the alphabet is to make flashy cards with letters and words that begin with them and hang them in a prominent place.

The same technique can be used to enrich vocabulary: just hang cards with translations over the objects that you have in your apartment - let the child remember how words are spelled and pronounced.

One of the easiest options is to use words that are familiar to the child. It can be the names of animals or everyday objects.

Here are the letters with the corresponding words, which will allow you to remember not only spelling, but also practice pronunciation:

A - Apple (Apple)
B - Banana (Banana)
C - Cat (Cat)
D - Dog (Dog)
E - Elephant (Elephant)
F - Fox (Fox)
G - Giraffe (Giraffe)

Games for learning the English alphabet for children

Interesting games using the same cards will allow the child to get used to it faster and not get bored while learning the English alphabet. What can you play with your child:

Draw a letter

Tell your child a letter of the English alphabet and ask them to draw it with their fingers or with their body. You can play in turn and show some letters yourself.

"Draw a letter"

Put the alphabet cards in front of the child and invite him to draw the letter himself on a piece of paper. So he will quickly learn not only to visually recognize letters, but also to write them in the future. Similarly, you can take plasticine and ask the baby to mold the letters of the English alphabet from it.

Word Ball

A more active game in which you can pass the ball to each other and name letters in alphabetical order or, for more advanced ones, words that begin with that letter.

Stop song

Place the letter cards in front of the child and turn on the alphabet song in English. Stop it at an arbitrary moment - the child must repeat the last letter he heard and show the corresponding card.
