AFRICA ALPHABET: HOW TO
|
You can accomplish several different objectives on these alphabet pages. Do whatever your child seems ready for at the time. 1. Learn to recognize and name the letter. 2. Learn the sound the letter makes. 3. Learn the shape of the letter and how to draw it. 4. Learn the sight word. 5. Learn a few kernels of information about the sight word. 1. Dig deep grooves in that little
brain by involving multiple senses in the learning process! Try exposing the child to the sight word in different environments. Sponge letters in the tub, magnets on the fridge, on a chalk board, on a white board, in the newspaper, in a book, etc. Pronounce it in the same way each time, with great enthusiasm and if possible silliness. Tickling is a great reminder that learning is fun. Remember to repeat the words you've learned in the past, and also to teach the child as many words as he/she seems interested in. Favorite song is "Twinkle twinkle"? Learn the word STAR. Like Sesame Street? Learn the word ELMO. Every word he/she learns makes it easier for him/her to learn the next one. There is no limit to a child's brain! Pack it in! |
