Teaching Alphabet
For a younger child who has not yet learned the alphabet, the fastest and most efficient way to teach it is to have the child repeat it after you in alphabetical order while you point to the letters.Thus the child learns the alphabet both
orally and visually.It will take some time before the child's visual learning catches up with his oral knowledge. Indeed, some children learn to recite the alphabet perfectly lon before they are able to identify all of the letters at random. This is perfectly normal since the child has had much oral practice learning to speak the language. However, now he is required to do highly precise visual learning, which may take some getting used to, especially if the child has had little exposure to print. Children with photographic memories will learn visually much faster than , those not so favorably endowed. The slowest learners will be those with weak visual memories, the oral and visual learning of the alphabet should be the letters accompanied by kinesthetic learning, that is, by having the student draw the letters in both capital and lower-case forms. Drawing the letters will help the student learn their different shapes more thoroughly. A lined notebook or writing tablet should be used by the student for doing this work.
Pictures are not necessary in teaching the alphabet if you do it in the systematic. The picture the child should be looking at is the letter itself, not an apple, or a bumble bee, or an elephant. Pictures are a distraction that can only delay learning the alphabet directly as a set of graphic symbols. We make this point because shortly after the letters are learned, the student will be taught to identify them with speech sounds, and this is very crucial. A letter is a symbol of a sound. It is not the symbol of anything else. The letter is supposed to stimulate the mouth, lips, and tongue to make particular sounds. It is not supposed to make the student think of an apple or an elephant. He must convert groups of letters into speech, and the student will be able to do this more readily the better he associates the letters with sounds
