Hello my dear readers.

The English alphabet for children and even for adults who are just starting to learn a language is a rather difficult thing, because they still know absolutely nothing, and pronunciation for a beginner is that difficult. But she will have to deal with it.

Therefore, today we are waiting for a lesson on how to remember it faster and more efficiently. I will have for you an exhaustive amount of materials for visual reference pictures, letters with and pronunciation), listening ( songs, audio), view ( video), download and print ( cards, poster (word, pdf)), as well as to consolidate the new with the help of interesting games and tasks.

Let's learn

Today I have prepared pictures for you that you can not only read and listen to online on my website, but also print for yourself and study at any free moment. And first, let's look at the entire alphabet (click on the picture to enlarge), listen to all its letters, and then listen to its classic and long-loved song:

If you also listen to these 2 songs, you will understand that there is an American version of the pronunciation of the alphabet, the difference of which is only in the pronunciation of the last letter. Let it be a trifle, but you need to know about it!

For many to help, there is a special audiobook for the little ones - "Alphabet for children" from Litres publishing house.

And here is the alphabet with uppercase and lowercase letters. Try doing the following with your child:

  1. look at the picture next to the letter and say the word in Russian,
  2. find the corresponding English word in the Russian-English dictionary,
  3. check if it starts with a letter specified in the alphabet,
  4. write down the English letter and word in a notebook or notepad and draw a picture next to it.

An alphabet with English and Russian transcription of letters will help you pronounce them correctly.

And you can study these letters with words online - by watching and listening to their pronunciation.



























And here is the promised word file for downloading and printing. For each letters have your own English word. On page A4 - 2 letters.

How to work with it:

  1. Print.
  2. Take colored pencils or felt-tip pens and decorate the letters with your child (you can do this in the same way as the picture - add eyes or a mouth).
  3. Try to draw what is written next to each letter.
  4. In the process, be sure to tell the child about the drawn objects or animals or ask him questions about them.
  5. Work without haste with every letter: first say it several times with different intonations, voice pitch, etc., then say the word written next to it. Then you can take 2 letters (previously cut into separate cards) and show them to your child - try to give him the opportunity to show the correct letter from the 2 you named.
  6. If your child is already 5 years old, you can master not only capital letters, but also capital letters. It is necessary to explain to the baby that each letter has its own younger brother, who is smaller in stature and sometimes differs from the older one (you can see them in the picture below). On the printed cards, you can draw the younger brothers next to the older brothers - all the guys should like it!

I have another word file for you, where, unlike the previous one, colorful uppercase and lowercase letters as well English and Russian transcription for correct pronunciation. On sheet A4 - 2 letters. Download and enjoy health with your child:

And this is a pdf poster with the English alphabet - for printing. It can be printed on A4 or A3 sizes. Colorful English letters are supplemented with transcription (Russian and English), which will help any child and adult quickly memorize English letters and their correct sound.

Alphabet in colorful videos

Yes, the most effective and fastest way for a child to learn new English letters is to watch a video as well. Now it's not hard to find them. Here are some fun ones:

And here is a whole series of cartoons, each of which is dedicated to a separate English letter. Video in Russian.

The last two videos are very good material for learning not only English letters, but also the sounds they make in some words.

poems

Videos are always exciting, but what about rhymes for quickly memorizing English letters? Haven't tried? Then go ahead! Children like them very much. Click on the icon in the upper right corner for increase...

Games and tasks

I can offer you at least 10 more entertaining games and tasks to remember the new letters of the English alphabet for the child and their sequence ( about learning in games for children also read and). These games can be played as one-on-one with a child and organize them for a group of children.

  • Learning with a ball

Variations of fun with a ball for children can be very different. For example, you can throw a ball to each other and take turns saying the next letter. Or, for example, throw the ball against the wall and call it with each hit.

  • Draw a letter
  • Guessing cards

Try this option: you show your baby a picture of an apple - and he calls you "a" - apple. Or you show a kitten, and he calls you "c" - cat. Of course, this game is more of a memory game and is suitable for more conscious children. But for repeating what has been learned, it fits perfectly like no other.

  • alphabet train

The goal of this easy task game is to make a train from a pile of cards with English letters, each trailer of which must stand in its place. Only then will he go!

  • stop song

The task here is to carefully listen to the alphabet song, and when the recording stops (the adult pauses at any place in the song), the children must repeat the last letter they heard and show a card with it.

  • Neighbours

From a pile of cards with letters turned upside down, the child chooses any. The task is to remember the letter-neighbor of the one that is in the child's hands. In this case, you can call the previous letter or the next one. Any answer will be correct.

  • guess faster

The goal of the game is to guess as quickly as possible what letter an adult writes (who slowly and slowly draws a large English letter on a board or piece of paper).

  • Add dance to the song

One of my students was wildly restless. And in order to learn everything, we had to come up with a real dance with her, where for each letter we made a new movement that resembled it in shape. Surprisingly and incredibly strange, I tell you, but we managed to master it.

  • Point connectors

This interesting and favorite activity for all the children will help them quickly remember not only the letters of the English alphabet, but also their sequence. Here are 4 such pictures that you can download, print and use.

  • Letter - picture

Another exciting activity that will require children to know words (rather, it will be an association of a letter with a picture) that begin with certain letters of the alphabet. Here you need preliminary preparation and work with pictures-words. Here are 6 pictures for printing I found on the site "Preschooler" (kindereducation.com). We connect letters with the necessary pictures, and then decorate for fun.

Don't try to force everything. I know from my own experience of working with children that if they are not interested, but forced to remember something, there will be absolutely no effect. The kid will only hate the language, and then it will be even more difficult for you and him ( How to start teaching English to a child).

Also, don't try to memorize without the help of a song, video, or photo. The child will not even begin to turn on his "memory" processes. These words should burn red in your mind when it comes to learning: HE SHOULD BE INTERESTING!

And lastly, he must somehow understand why this is necessary. Yes, it is difficult to explain to a little man of 3-5 years old why he should learn any other sounds at all, if everyone speaks those that he already knows. Therefore, come up with some kind, or watch a cartoon with him, where individual words speak a foreign language. This, perhaps, will awaken in him the desire to learn them himself.

  • You can purchase a wonderful sound alphabet with your favorite characters, such as Book-toy with the English alphabet "Dasha the Traveler"
  • If your child is under 5 years old, you can try Fascinating puzzles with English letters
  • And everyone's favorite service for online learning English in a playful way LinguaLeo has released a new course " English for the little ones". Learning in this course begins with the basics - the alphabet. I recommend this service and all its products, as it has already won my trust with the quality of its approach to teaching children and adults. You can watch my short review of the course in the video below.

And finally...

Of course, all children are different, and not all of these methods of work will suit everyone. Therefore, I can immediately advise you to look for the right path to your baby. He will love English if you show it to him in the right light.

And remember, dear ones, that I regularly share tips on how to help you and your children learn the language effectively. Subscribe to my blog newsletter and follow the news. It will be even more interesting soon.

Learning the English alphabet is not so difficult. Especially if your child is still small. You will be surprised, but in fact it is. The older the child, the more difficult it is for him to memorize information, while a very small baby absorbs everything that his mother or other relatives give him on the fly. The only point that you need to pay attention to is that your lessons should be, firstly, very short, and secondly, interesting and understated, so that the baby remains intrigued and some incompleteness.

English for children is extremely important when it comes to their future. It is very difficult to become a successful person in the modern world if you do not learn a foreign language. It is much easier for a child to do this than for an adult. Use the abilities of your children, and in adulthood it will be much easier for them to prove themselves professionally.

How to start learning?

To learn the English alphabet, I advise you to build your lessons in the form of a game as follows:

  • study no more than 1-2 letters at a time.
  • include the English alphabet in your video lessons, for example, you can use the lessons of Aunt Owl or something similar, listen to songs.
  • Also, be sure to play the English alphabet.

Task-game

Here is our free English alphabet, which will be of interest to any child. This alphabet is made in the form of multi-colored eggs, one or another letter of the English alphabet is written on the shell, and an animal sits in the second part of the egg or an object starting with this letter is placed. You can cut the eggs into separate cards first and play with your child. And then cut in half and correlate each letter with one or another egg. In general, there are a lot of games with these cards of the English alphabet, with which you can teach your baby. It all depends on your imagination.

To teach a child a foreign alphabet, it is necessary to use an integrated approach. The letters should surround the baby everywhere. Pictures and cards with them, intended for beginners, can be hung around the house and periodically remind the crumbs of the sound of the letter, and then ask them to repeat. Arrange games for the child in the form of a treasure hunt, and the letters of the alphabet will be the clues.

Remember: dry exercises and tasks will not bring results and satisfaction. Really useful lessons will be in the form of a game.

Another version of the game with letters will help to learn the alphabet with the baby. It is especially good for a child who knows some short words in English. Take a few letters that make up a word and hide them in different places in the room. Ask your child to find them. When all the cards or pictures are collected, they will need to make a word out of them. So you can quickly teach your baby to remember the spelling of words, using the element of the game, woven into the usual exercises and tasks.

More options for didactic games for children:

Circle the letters of the English alphabet.
Tasks for children about English letters. Match the letters of the English alphabet in order. Second option.
English crossword. Choose the letter that starts the word.
Circle the capital letters of the English alphabet in orange, the small ones in green, and the numbers in yellow.

Games related to the development of the alphabet, you can endlessly diversify. To learn English with a child, you can stick letters, cut them out, add pictures to them, even make them heroes of a role-playing game. We learn English, and in this process any method is good.

The English alphabet can be downloaded for free here:

Video - and audio selection

To learn English with a crumb, in addition to the game, you can use audio and video clips. It will be very interesting for a child to watch a cartoon or listen to a song, but at the same time he will spend time with benefit for himself. Video lessons may contain an interactive element: games, tasks that children can perform with the speaker. This approach activates the brain activity.
