Teach Your Child The Alphabets

Teach your child the alphabets. Try not to use the old and traditional way. It will only make you child feel bored. Use something interesting instead.

1. Make an Alphabet Book

Make your own alphabet book with your kids. Help your child make a page with each letter. You can have him write the letter or find the letter in an old magazine and cut it out. Cut out pictures from an old colouring book or magazine that has words that start with the letter on the page.

2. Play the ABC game whenever you drive somewhere

This is an easy and fun way to teach your child the alphabet. Whenever you drive anywhere play the ABC game. Have your child find the letter A on billboards, or license plates, or signs. Start with the letter A and then look for letter b, c, etc. Once you finish the alphabet you can play again.

3. Sing the Alphabet Song

Children love to sing and what better song to sing than the Alphabet Song. Start your day off with a song or two and be sure to include the ABC song.

4. Play the Alphabet Memory Game

You can purchase flashcards of the alphabet or make your own. Have your child match the capital letter A to the lowercase letter a. Or you can start with letters that are all lowercase or all capital. Each time your child matches the letters have him tell you what letter it is.

5. Play Alphabet Bingo

Make your own Bingo cards with construction paper. Write the letters of the alphabet on it. Call out the letters and have your child put a Bingo chip on the letter. When your child wins they can yell out Bingo!

6. Play the Alphabet Hide Away Game

Fill a bag with different objects that start with different letter sounds. For example, you could fill it with a car, a book, a pencil, etc. Show the child all the items in the bag. Then put all the items back in the bag. Have them find the items by touching them only. Say can you find something that starts with the letter B? Say what sound does the b make? Then see if they can find the book in your bag just by touching. This game is not only good for learning letters and sounds but also helps them with using their senses and tactile skills
