Words starting with the letter A for children

Words starting with the letter A for children at the beginning of the picture word. Do you want your child to be easily given schooling and you do not have to constantly supervise him? Then it is necessary to make sure that he learns all the letters before he goes to school. In order for them to gain a foothold at the level of automatisms, you need to start getting to know them correctly and further study, memorizing letters will be easy and enjoyable, like a game.

How easy it is to learn the letter A to a child at 3-4 years old and at 5-6 years old?

The child has an absorbent mind. This is confirmed by Maria Montessori, who devoted her life to raising children. The period of a person's special susceptibility to learning letters is from 0 to 6 years. However, the child must be ready to learn and tune in to it. There are children who, as soon as they start speaking, are already interested in letters, of course, if their parents offered them to study them and created a positive reinforcement for this event, that is, they were overjoyed when the child first began to show interest in letters.

There is an opinion that initially a child should master physical training, learn how to deftly control his body, that is, master climbing, crawling, walking on stairs - to develop large motor skills, as well as develop fine motor skills - movements with fingertips: modeling, drawing, sorting out small items. And only then can you teach letters. That is, by the age of 5-6 it will be just fine.

Based on my personal experience, I believe that everything should be done simultaneously and in parallel, following the desire and interest of the child. That is, you can start learning letters and show them even when the child is not even a year old. At 3-4 years old, a child should normally already have a fairly large vocabulary and keep up a conversation. Perhaps this period will be suitable for starting acquaintance with letters?

Learning the letter A by playing - What does the letter A look like?

It is important to arouse interest in the child and support him on the path of knowledge. Start learning letters as early as possible in a simple game way. When walking with a child, talking, playing with him, pay his attention to the letters. They surround us everywhere. Pay attention to what the letter A looks like. It looks like a stepladder, two logs and one more between them. Maybe some kind of tree grows in the shape of a letter or something else? Eiffel Tower?

It is important that the child has positive emotions while learning letters. He may be glad that mom or dad tells him something important. Tell him how letters help people. What you can read yourself, determine which street you are on, find which cartoon to watch yourself.

Each person has several channels of information perception: auditory (by ear), visual (picture), kinesthetic (by touch) and motor (scheme, algorithm). Which channel of perception is more developed in each individual person will help to determine special tests. It is not yet clear whether this is genetically based or is formed depending on the environment surrounding the child. I agree with the opinion that a child can be helped to develop all channels of perception, so it is very important that he:
- heard a letter;
- saw an image - a picture;
- touched it in the real world;
- drew it.

Why is the letter A with pictures in front of the word better remembered?

For a child, letters are an abstraction, something incomprehensible. It is important that in addition to the letter itself, he also remembers the image - the picture. We all remember our first alphabet, there was a picture next to each letter. It is even better if the child has a real-life example. For example, on our card there is the word Lampshade. Find it in your home and let your child see it. You can literally touch and check “by the tooth” something edible with the letter A, for example, watermelon, apricot, pineapple, orange. Astra can be smelled. Cars and buses surround city dwellers everywhere, and they drive on asphalt. Draw the letter A with chalk on the pavement while walking.

Actors and actresses act in films, acrobats and arena in the circus. Do you have an aquarium in your house? Find exactly the practical application of the abstract letter. Have your child paint with watercolors and note that the watercolor starts with A. Let him paint A with watercolors, with your help or on his own if he can. Such an experience will penetrate into the very depths of the child's consciousness and his brain will absorb this important information about the first letter of the Russian alphabet, which also begins with A.

Does your child like to look at animals: the words stork and shark are suitable. Modern houses on the street are full of antennas, pay attention to them and the child will automatically remember the letter A when he sees the antenna. There are also many inscriptions around containing the letter A, for example, Pharmacy. Or maybe your child likes to listen to music? Then draw his attention to musical instruments on A, for example, Harp, Viola. And what methods of easy memorization of information do you use yourself?

A cartoon about the letter A

You can also show a video with pictures to your baby if you have no time to read to him on your own, but remember that live communication is most effective and preferable when communicating with your baby. When you tell something personally, parental authority and your relationship with the child are strengthened, which is an undoubted contribution to the future. And you can watch the video together!
