Do we have to start teaching languages by introducing children to the alphabet?
ReplyDeleteChildren learn by listening. The letters doesn't have any meaning to them unless it is introduced with sound, picture and meaning.
DeleteChildren can be meaningfully engaged with children’s literature and authentic experiences.Phonics should be meaningfully integrated with phonemic awareness, fluency, and comprehension strategies
ReplyDeletePhonemic awareness should be mandatory for all children without this they can't pronunce correct even we can see at senior secondary level and also a well educated and highly qualified person may do mistake in pronunciation because of unawareness of phonemic awareness.

ReplyDeleteWe can create a print rich environment and then encourage the students by engaging them in simple conversation in language known to them.
ReplyDeleteStory narration can improve child interest. This method are very useful to all
ReplyDeleteWe should fallow phonic drilling
ReplyDeletephonic awareness is very important as it will help them in reading in the later stages. we need not follow the alphabet reading in a sequence they can first start by identifying the vowels.
ReplyDeleteWe should teach children through stories and pictures rather than alphabets.

ReplyDeleteChildren should be introduced to print rich environment and sounds before the start of alphabets.
ReplyDeleteChildren should be introduced strokes and then through pictures.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion we as a teacher must teach the most common letter names first, the less common letter names last. So, in my opinion sequence is not important.
ReplyDeleteThough every syllable of every word must have a vowel sound and there are many alternative spellings of vowel sounds, so it is very important that students have a sound knowledge of these. Phonics is important not only because this knowledge allows children to read on their own, but it is also a learning mechanism that builds up a good print word dictionary that can be quickly accessed.
young students shounld be start with the sound and phonics .ask them about the names starts with similar alphabets than rhyming words with three letters .
ReplyDeleteI think the first step in teaching the alphabet is getting your child interested in listening to stories and books.Children who look at books get the idea that books contain print ,which is made up of letters,words and sentences.
ReplyDeleteChildren need to be introduced to the strokes required for language learning and the sounds before introducing them to alphabets.
ReplyDeleteIt would be interesting for the children if we show them the picture related to the alphabet first and then introduce to the print of the alphabet. By looking at the picture and the sound of the alphabet the child would better relate it with the written form.
ReplyDeleteFor eg: Showing the picture of an apple and stressing on the sound of "a" and then showing them the print of the letter "a".

Children should be shown pictures, objects and should be introduce to their names. Slowly sounds and rhymes should be infused in their conversation. Numeracy can also be introduced by showing objects, spatial understanding , shapes, size etc can be developed.Slowly alphabet and sounds can be introduced.
Follow the order LSRW for teaching language . Listening and speaking is more important .Slowly introduce letters words through pictures .
ReplyDeletewe need not follow the alphabet reading in a sequence. phonic awareness is very important as it will help them in reading in the later stages.

Pictures and words make meaning for the child. Start with pictures , its connected words and sounds and follow it up with letters.
ReplyDeleteNo, children learn by listening. The letters doesn't have any meaning to them unless so the has to be introduced with sound, picture and meaning.
ReplyDeleteChildren love listening and make stories on their own. they have no sense of spellings but if encouraged their imagination fliy high.
ReplyDeleteSOUND,PICTURES AND MEANINGS ARE THE ASPECTS MAKE THE LETTERS FAMILIAR TO THE CHILDREN AND BY LISTENING.PHONICS AWARENESS MUST BE IMPORTANT PART IN LEARNING THE LANGUAGE.

ReplyDeleteAnand Parkash, HM
ReplyDeleteChildren need to be engaged in conversation related to immediate environment before introducing them alphabet and letters. Interaction is necessary because simultaneous development of speaking, listening, reading and writing Competencies is useful for children in developing foundational literacy.
Phonics is very important before introducing language. A children knows it's mothertongue and learn from it
ReplyDeleteAwareness in Phonics leads to learn the alphabets easily. So teachers should start with sounds and then gradually lead to alphabets in a sequential manner by making them learn the strokes. LSRW sequence must be followed from initial stages in the schools.
ReplyDeleteSure, we have to start teaching language by introducing children to the alphabets with sounds and then only it will be fruitful to teach a new language. Alphabets Should be familiarized with the letters in sequence.

Yes, we must introduce them to alphabet to start teaching a language but in a meaningful way by correlating them with their day to day life situations.
ReplyDeleteIf teaching as a subject in school children should know the alphabets,but it can be in any sequence. The only thing to keep in mind is that they should know the sound created by those letters and also how to join those to make words which have meaning by showing them pictures. Sound and meaning relationship is important at the earlier stage of learning.
ReplyDeleteI think they are already familiar with the language by listening and speaking,we have to introduce the alphabets so that they can write also , gradually.
ReplyDeleteStudents can be meaningfully engaged with age appropriate literature and real life experiences. Children learn by listening. The letters doesn't have any meaning to them unless it is introduced with sound, picture and meaning. Phonics should be meaningfully integrated with phonemic awareness, fluency, and comprehension strategies.
ReplyDeletealphabets can be taught in any sequence.The main thing is to recognize its sound.
Children learn by listening. The letters doesn't have any meaning to them later phonics can be introduced..

ReplyDeletewe have to start teaching language by introducing alphabet with sound.children should be familarised with letters according to types of lines.
ReplyDeleteWe should start with phonics after that we should introduce alphabets.
ReplyDeleteFollow the order LSRW for teaching language . Listening and speaking is more important .Slowly introduce letters words through pictures , then introduce phonics and afterwards the alphabets.
ReplyDeleteTo start teaching languages to children, we teachers should not start by introducing them to the alphabet. Listening to the oral language and its use in various situations will give the learners a good idea about the sound of various words and also some idea about their meanings. Through pictures, rhymes and stories children will become familiar with the sounds of the letters of the alphabet and later they may be made aware of the sequence of these letters, not before.
ReplyDeleteChildren should be allowed to express by their own choice of means like drawing and clay modelling before bringing them towards alphabets
ReplyDeleteDuring my interaction( during the teaching-learning process)with the students i found that teaching through phonics and short & long vowel sounds, is much easier for the children to learn the vocabulary.
ReplyDeleteBhamidipati Satyavani
ReplyDeleteDuring my interaction with the students , I found that children show inclination towards learning through phonics and context
It is seen that Children learn by listening. The letters doesn't have any meaning to them unless it is introduced with sound ,picture and meaning.

ReplyDeleteThe first step in teaching the alphabet is getting your child interested in listening to stories and books. Children who look at books get the idea that books contain print, which is made up of letters, words and sentences.
yes they learn by sound as well as with picture story. and picture observation.
ReplyDeleteI think we should begin teaching a language with pictures. Children are attracted to colourful pictures and with pictures words can be introduced. Later alphabets can be introduced with pictures and sound. Sequence is not important.
ReplyDeleteChildren has natural ability of language acquisition, they listen, see picture/photo comprehend and try to speak. Alphabet should be later on, with sound, picture it can be started. Also surrounding may pictures, photos, posters.Tthis will them to learn language fast.
ReplyDeleteLanguage need not be introduced only with Alphabet. It can start with listening to words, responding to questions and instructions,
ReplyDeletefirst listening /listening with interest/repetition/later comes alphabets and connecting with sounds Children learn by listening. The letters doesn't have any meaning to them unless it is introduced with sound, picture and meaning.
ReplyDeleteIt need not be necessarily. Children learn language by listening. So rhymes, poems and stories can be used in the beginning. Later alphabet can be taught by teaching letter-sound relation
ReplyDeleteFor teaching reading & writing it is necessary, for speaking it is not necessary.
ReplyDeleteAt early stage Listening and speaking is more important .Slowly introduce letters words through pictures.
ReplyDeleteLSRW is the best way
ReplyDeletePhonemic awareness should be mandatory for all children without this they can't pronunce correct even we can see at senior secondary level and also a well educated and highly qualified person may do mistake in pronunciation because of unawareness of phonemic awareness.
