Teaching the Alphabet

Learning the English alphabet is something than can seem difficult for young learners, and this is because some letters are pronounced differently. It is important to work with letters that are pronounced always in the same way.
Using pictures can be a good help to learn the letters and to get familiar to them. 
We can print the alphabet and have it hung on the wall.

Songs are a good source to enhance motivation in preschool children. 

I love this two songs, they are very pleasant and will help children to memorise the sounds while enjoying music.

 

 

We can provide lots of activities to work the alphabet. I would suggest three simple and fun activities recommended for young learners:

WRITING CHILDREN'S NAMES:

Children love to work with their names. Let's write their names with the English alphabet.

DRAWING THE LETTERS ON A SMALL CHALKBOARD:

We give one small chalkboard to each student. We say out loud a letter and they have to draw it.

I SPY WITH MY LITTLE EYE...:

We say "I spy with my little eye something beginning with T". The children have to guess the object, for example, the table.
