languages by introducing children to the alphabet
ReplyDeleteMost children begin recognising letters at the age of four.There is no need to push our toddler to learn the alphabet if she/ he does not seem interested yet.Children's knowledge of letter names and shapes is a strong predictor of their success in learning to read.Knowing their letter names is related to children' s ability to remember the forms of written words and their ability to treat words as sequences of letters.
ReplyDeleteThe first stage of learning for children happens through sound, then visuals, and language. The very quality and aspect that makes the way children learn unique, lies in the fact that they don't learn in a concrete way, or in a chronological order. The way children learn is haphazard and that takes away the burden of having to learn something chronologically.
ReplyDeleteTherefore, it isn't necessary or mandatory at all to make learning alphabets compulsory in order for children to know language. They can learn a language without having to know alphabets, rather, they can learn alphabets consequently after establishing a grasp on spoken language.
The first stage of learning for children through sounds visual and language the quality that makes the way of learning unique. The way children learn is irregular. Therefore it's not necessary to all to make learning alphabet compulsory in order for children to know language.
ReplyDeleteNo, we don't have to start teaching languages by introducing children to the alphabet nor do we need to familiarise children with the letters in sequence. Language acquisition and learning more often takes place outside the classroom than inside. Young children learn to develop their language and literacy skills by using language as a whole and not its individual components because meaning is conveyed only when these components are present in an integrated manner. Knowledge of the alphabet is important but it is not necessary to start with the alphabet while teaching a language.
ReplyDeleteLearning of the language teachers mast engage children in a classroom period to communicate alternate ways for example they can respond through etc.

ReplyDeleteInitially, it is not necessary to start teaching languages by applying the alphabets.Children are sensitive and curious.They would try to learn the languages through the sense of hearing, touching,feeling,and visualising to the immediate environmental surroundings.But learning languages without knowing to use proper letters and in sequence is not a real education.Real and quality education means the child should be familiar with proper use of letters,meanings,understanding,writing,and place the words in systematic or sequential way.
ReplyDeleteAs my view point, communication is the best way to teach language.As a facilitator, I should prefer most is communication rather than alphabets.when dealing with small children we should make them free and comfortable learning environment.Allow them to speak their mother tongue/home language without any hesitation, teacher should also try to speak child's language infront of them.After well cope up with children than try to give the letter sound knowledge as well as phonemic awareness of letters.In this way, learning should be more effective and more easier for both of them asfacilitator as well as children.

It is not necessary to start teaching language by applying the letters.Children are curious and sensitive, hence they can learn the language through sense of learning, feeling, touching and visualising to quick environment.So it is not necessary to children to make learning alphabet compulsory in order for children to learn language.They can learn more without knowing alphabet
ReplyDelete. But it is true that the to learn language it is compulsory to familiar with the letters properly.

ReplyDeleteInitially,it is not necessary to start teaching language by applying the alphabets.But learning language without knowing to use alphabetical letters in sequences is not proper education.So,we must impart alphabetical knowledge gradually while teaching language.

ReplyDeleteThe first stage of learning for children happens through sound then visual and language. The quality and aspect that makes the way children learn unique.
ReplyDeleteIt depends on your child. Most children begin recognizing some letters between the ages of two and three though some won't until they are around four years old. There's no need to push your toddler to learn the alphabet if he/she doesn't seem interested yet.
ReplyDeleteOnce he/she starts playschool or preschool (any time between two and two and a half years old) he/she will be introduced to the alphabet. If you want to encourage her learning at home it helps to make it fun. Just make sure there's no pressure on him/her and stop when you feel he's/she's losing interest.
