Learning the alphabet is a key part of your Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager's education especially when it comes to learning to read and write. It is important that Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenagerren learn not only to recite the letters in order, but also to recognize letters out of sequence. In addition, after mastering basic recognition, Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenagerren will need to learn the sounds each letter represents and how to write it.

While many parents recognize how important learning the alphabet is to their Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager they are not always sure how to go about teaching the alphabet to their Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager. Many parents spend a lot of money on expensive products and programs designed to teach the alphabet but that really isn't necessary and in fact may well be counterproductive.

As a literate adult you don't need any tools, programs or books to help you in your quest to teach the ABCs to your Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager. You already possess all you need in your head (your own knowledge of the alphabet) and in your house. There are three simple keys to teaching your Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager the alphabet:

* Make it fun
* Make it real
* Make it regular

The most important rule to remember when teaching young Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenagerren is to make sure that learning is fun. If you can make lessons into a game, a craft, or a song then your Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager will be a willing and eager participant. If you make learning into something boring or something that looks like work then you will have to fight your Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager every step of the way. Your Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager wants to spend time having fun with you so why not make lessons into fun time that you spend together so you both look forward to the experience? Just because a lesson was fun enough to make your Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager want to do it again-and-again does not lessen its value. Learning can be fun and something that was learned in an enjoyable way is much more likely to stick with your Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager in the long term than a lesson that was forced. If you can make learning the alphabet fun for your Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager then you will have accomplished two very important steps toward your Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager's long-term success -- knowledge of the alphabet and an eagerness to learn.

Young Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenagerren need to experience their world through their senses. They do learn in the more traditional ways -- seeing and hearing -- but often prefer a more tactile approach that includes touching, smelling, and tasting. The more you can make the letters of the alphabet come alive for your Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager and give your Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager access to those letters in a way that utilizes their senses then the easier it will be to learn. Also, utilizing the real world for your lessons will not only save you money but will also help you teach your Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager the value of literacy.

Preschoolers learn at an incredibly fast rate but because they are learning and experiencing so many new things they can forget what they have learned just as quickly. That is why it is important to make lessons a regular part of your Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager's day. It doesn't mean that you have to set aside a separate part of the day because often alphabet lessons can take place at the grocery store, in the car, or at the kitchen table. What is important is that you consistently introduce the letters to your Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager in various forms and consistently reinforce the acquisition of the alphabetic principle. Even after your Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager has mastered the alphabet make sure you periodically review the letters so they don't lose the knowledge.

If you make learning the alphabet fun, real, and consistent then your preschooler will definitely have a head start when the time comes to learn to read.

 

Teach Your Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager The Alphabet

One of the first steps in becoming a successful reader is to learn to recognize the letters of the alphabet. The alphabetic principle teaches that spoken language is represented by written words that are made up of varying combinations of letters, and that these letters and combinations of them make up all of the sounds in spoken language. Attaching sounds to these letters and learning to write them paves the way to successful reading and writing.

Attaching sounds to these letters and learning to write them paves the way to successful reading and writing.

Learning to say their ABCs is a great start for any preschooler, but it is just as important for your Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager to learn the sounds of the letters. Preschoolers, who know the sounds of the letters of the alphabet, have an easier time learning to read.

In order to read, every Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager must know the sounds of the letters as well as the shapes and order. More than that he must be able to recall them quickly. When he sees the letter he should be able to say the letter or vocalize its sound without hesitation. This should happen whether he hears the letters in order or not.

While the alphabet song can be a fun way to start learning the ABCs it is not enough because Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenagerren also need to be able to identify each individual letter. In fact, this skill is much more important than knowing where it falls in the alphabet as it is the key in learning to read.

Research shows it is important for young Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenagerren to be able to:

~ Recognize and name letters
~ Recognize beginning letters in familiar words (especially their own name)
~ Recognize both capital and lowercase letters
~ Relate letters to the specific sounds they represent

Knowledge of the alphabet is the foundation to your Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager's literacy development and you shouldn't assume your Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager will learn this skill in kindergarten. Waiting until kindergarten to learn the ABCs will put your Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager behind many other students and may cause added stress.

Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenagerren who can read independently "translate" alphabet shapes accurately back into sounds. If we want our Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenagerren to be able to read independently, we needed to teach them:

~ The shapes of the alphabet letters;
~ The various sounds of each letter;
~ The sounds made by combined letters.

You can start teaching the alphabet when your Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager is young. My son mastered his letters by his second birthday and I helped him do that without flashcards and without whining! He loves working with his "letters" and even now as he approaches his fourth birthday requests a particular game or activity. He doesn't know he's learning-he just thinks he's having fun with his Mommy.

There are many ways that you can help your preschooler learn the sounds and names of the letters of the alphabet.

You don't need expensive tools and programs and in fact many of those can be counterproductive as they make learning work. My greatest success was simply to work on letters in context with the world whenever he seemed open to the opportunity. The alphabet became simply a part of our daily life including errands and play time.
