Teaching my daughter the alphabet?

Question

Hi there. I was wondering where I may be able to find free printables for the alphabet. I want ones the you can color and also do tracing with. I want them to be very simple and not over done. If anyone knows of a site could you please let me know? Thanks!

Answer 1

Worksheets can be repetitive and often just routine for the child.

Try a tray of sand or coffee grinds, and have your child practice drawing the sound, with her pointer finger. Ask her to repeat the sound, after she traces it. You want her to learn the sound, not the letter itself. The letter is A, the sound is "a", apple, alligator. Spent a day on "a". Walk around the house and say, "let's go hunt for some things that start with "a". The experience and thought process, will really get excited to learn these sounds!



Good Luck, and I think your wonderful for doing this at home with your child!

www.atozteacherstuff.com-lessons_plans has lesson plans for teachers. They might have the alphabet. You can get books from the library that teaches the alphabet, and shows each letter in large, bold print. You can make your own patterns. May I suggest, besides coloring and tracing the letters, that you find large letters, or make your own, put them on 3'' X 5'' cards, then laminate them. You can create games with these, like concentration type games.



1) Make two of each letter, turn them over, face down, in rows and columns, and have your daughter turn them over, two at a time. When she matches the two alike letters, she sets them aside.



2) Same game, only match the small letters with their capital letters.



3) You can use other games, like "Go Fish" and "War" to teach the alphabet.



It takes a lot of work on your part to prepare these cards, but its worth it because children learn faster and better when they're enjoying learning. And why shouldn't learning be fun?

If she's having problem, holiday it down even smaller. For illustration, day after today will probably be 'a' day. Spend time doing events involving 'a'. Say it out loud. Draw it. Use the flashcards. Color in a workbook. The day after will also be 'b' day, however evaluation the letter 'a' as good - and so forth. You might reduce out squares of poster board or creation paper and write each and every of the letters on them. As you begin every day, submit a letter rectangular on a wall in her room so as. The effect will appear some thing like a calendar. This will probably be a small reminder of each and every of the letters you will have long gone by way of and deliver you a factor of reference while you desire to check. You may additionally desire to appear into Hooked On Phonics Learn to Read. I might name the tuition district and ask what the baby is anticipated to understand earlier than kindergarten. This manner you understand for certain what to paintings on previously in order that she is capable. Please appreciate that a few kids be trained slower or another way than others. This would possibly or won't classify them as having a 'studying incapacity'. Even IF your baby is going to kindergarten and so they point out that they suppose she has problem studying, it does no longer imply that you've performed whatever improper and it does no longer imply that she is 'mentally' challenged. It simply implies that she demands a few further support.

I would have suggested first_school and starfall as well.



Your local dollar stores usually carry alphabet "workbooks".



Is this how you are planning on teaching your daughter the alphabet? How old is your daughter. Worksheets really not developmentally appropiate for preschool. :-) Just my two cents. If you would like ideas of how to teach the alphabet in other ways...feel free to email me. I have a whole file of alphabet ideas. :-)

But besides paper pencil and cutting and gluing, kids need interactive games to learn and stay motivated. That should come from you and your child's other parent. If you have internet access for your child, here are a few online games they can play too.
