Study any foreign language better since childhood. It is known that children who grew up in a multilingual environment adapt much more easily and absorb new information much faster.
In order for a child to start learning English as early as possible and not get bored from this process, it is enough to turn tedious learning into a game. This will make it much easier for your baby to remember new words and phrases, and you will spend time with your child not only fun, but also productive.
In this article we will talk about how to simply and easily learn the English alphabet for both children and all beginners and give several poems and songs to study.
English alphabet
The alphabet in English is called alphabet or simply ABC. It has 26 letters, of which 20 are consonants and only 6 vowels (vowels).
Vowels: A, E, I, O, U, Y
Consonants: B, C, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, T, V, W, X, Z
Alphabet with transcription and pronunciation:
Aa [ei] [hey]
Bb [bi:] [bi]
Cc [si:] [si]
Dd [di:] [di]
Ee [i:] [and]
Ff [ef] [ef]
Gg [dʒi:] [ji]
Hh [eitʃ] [eych]
Ii [ai] [ai]
Jj [dʒei] [jay]
Kk [kei] [kei]
Ll [el] [el]
Mm [em] [um]
Nn [en] [en]
Oo [ou] [oh]
Pp [pi:] [pi]
Qq [kju:] [qu]
Rr [a:] [aa, ar]
Ss [es] [es]
Tt [ti:] [ti]
Uu [ju:] [yu]
Vv [vi:] [vi]
Ww [ `dʌbl `ju: ] [double]
Xx [eks] [ex]
Yy [wai] [wai]
Zz [zed] [zed]
Americans and British pronounce almost all letters of the alphabet the same way, except for the last one. In American English, Z would sound like "zee".
Learning the alphabet usually begins with an alphabet song: this makes it easier for the child to remember the pronunciation. She sings line by line:
Do you know your ABC?
You can learn along with me!
A, B, C, D, E, F, G
H, I, J, K
L, M, N, O, P
Q, R, S,
T, U, V
W, X, Y and Z
Now you know your alphabet!
By the way, due to the difference in the pronunciation of the letter “Z”, the end of this song in the British and American versions will sound differently:
British
X, Y, Z - Now I know my alphabet(Now I know my alphabet) or Now you know your alphabet(Now you know your alphabet).
American
Now I know my ABC, twenty-six letters from A to Z(Now I know my alphabet, twenty-six letters from A to Z) or Now I know my ABC, next time won't you sing with me(Now I know my alphabet, would you like to sing with me next time).
It is with learning the alphabet that a fascinating journey into any foreign language begins. Everyone needs to know ABC by heart in order to know how to correctly write and pronounce individual letters. Especially if you need to spell a word. Spelling is how a word is spelled. There is no direct analogue of spelling in the Russian language, but the Americans even have a whole game called Spelling Bee, in which you need to spell a word without making mistakes. In the USA, Spelling Bee competitions and competitions are often held.
But you need to start simple, especially for children. We tell you a few tricks on how to make it as easy as ABC for your child to learn the alphabet.
Cards with words
One of effective ways learn new words and remember the alphabet - make your child bright cards with letters and words that begin on them and hang them in a visible place.
The same technique can be used to enrich vocabulary: just hang translation cards over the objects you have in your apartment - let the child remember how words are written and pronounced.
One of the easiest options is to use words that are familiar to the child. These could be names of animals or everyday objects.
Here are the letters with the corresponding words that will allow you to remember not only the spelling, but also practice pronunciation:
A - Apple
B - Banana
C - Cat
D - Dog
E - Elephant (Elephant)
F - Fox (Fox)
G - Giraffe (Giraffe)
H - House
I - Ice-cream (Ice cream)
J - Jam (Jam)
K - Key
L - Lemon
M - Mouse
N - Nose
O - Owl (Owl)
P - Panda (Panda)
Q - Queen
R - Rabbit
S - Squirrel
T - Turtle
U - Umbrella (Umbrella)
V - Violin (Violin)
W - Wolf
X - Ox (Ox)
Y - Yacht (Yacht)
Z - Zebra
You can find a set of such cards in any bookstore, or you can make them yourself.

Games for learning the English alphabet for children
Interesting games using the same cards will allow the child to get used to it faster and not get bored while learning the English alphabet. What you can play with your child:
"Draw a letter"

"Draw a letter"
Place alphabet cards in front of your child and invite him to draw the letter himself on a piece of paper. This way he will quickly learn not only to visually recognize letters, but also to write them in the future. Similarly, you can take plasticine and ask your child to mold the letters of the English alphabet from it.
"Word-ball"
A more active game in which you can pass a ball to each other and name letters in alphabetical order or, for more advanced players, words starting with that letter.
"Stop Song"
Place letter cards in front of your child and play an alphabet song in English. Stop it at any moment - the child must repeat the last letter he heard and show the corresponding card.
"Not really"
For this game you can use cards with both letters and words. Show your child the picture and say the word. So, you can show a picture of a pig and say “tiger” out loud. If the child says “no,” then he must name what is actually shown in the picture.
Come up with your own games and tasks, ask your child what he would like to play. Watch cartoons together on English and sometimes address him with ordinary requests in English and let him also sometimes use English words in everyday speech.
