We should always start from...
ReplyDeleteNo. We are not supposed to introduce alphabets directly. But we begin orally then according to the capability of child's motor skill begin with letters with formation of line we are teaching like standing lines, then sleeping lines,,,. We need not to follow the sequence of the letters. It all depends on the physical and mental capacity of child to grasp slowly or fast . Recognizing the letters with sound and written form accompanies one another i.e reading and writing with full understanding.
DeleteNo we are not introduce alphabet directly but orally them and playing, dancing sometimes with them.
DeleteNo, we should not start introducing Alphabets to children directly. They are to be introduced orally by means of sounds and pictures. Children should be familiarised with letters sequence by singing songs such as the "Alphabet song" and by reciting rhymes because young children begins to learn about sounds and language well before they know about letters. Children appear to require alphabetical knowledge in a sequence that begins with letter names, followed by letter shapes and finally letter sounds.
DeleteEarly Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) as the name suggest is education for the early childhood stage. During this stage the basic need is not only eduation but taking care as well. Children learn fight from their infancy but at their own pace and in different ways. So, ECCE is important to provide that early development and learning skills using different child friendly methods so as to make learning enjoyable; while simultaneously meeting their bacic needs of care and love.
ReplyDeleteChildren should be allowed to play with things and manipulate or use things the way they like, we should provide enough opportunities for them to play with things and lack of freedom in this respect may stand as a block to learning.
DeleteChildren can learn language faster by interacting with others. The conversation they make help them to learn the language and not the letters.
ReplyDeleteNo,as teacher in this case we must remember not to intriduce alphabets directly to the children on their first day on school or when they enter the classroom directly.But we must begin orally according to the capability of the child's motor skill to begin the letters.
ReplyDeleteWe need not to follow the sequence of the letters,it all depends on the physical and mentak capacity of the child to graso slowly or fast.Let the child recognise the letters with reading or writing on their own understanding.
Children can learn about the language faster by interacting with others.The conversation they make help them to learn the language and not the letters.
ReplyDeleteNo, it is not necessary to introducing children to alphabet for teaching languages.
ReplyDeleteWe can teach by making sounds that imitate the tones and rhythms that adults use when talking, teach through repeation,encourage participation with games, showing pictures, etc.
No we are not supposed to introduce alphabets directly. The conversation they make them help to learn language and not the letters.
ReplyDeleteChildren appear to acquire alphabetic knowledge in a sequence that begins with letter names, then letter shapes , and finally letter sounds. Children learn letter names by singing songs and by reciting rhymes.
ReplyDeleteWe most certainly do not have to start the learning of language with the introduction of alphabets. They are to be introduced orally by means of sound and picture association thereby capturing their interest and aid them to better grasp it.
ReplyDeleteChildren's familiarity with the alphabet will depend on their capacity to retain it. Therefore familiarism with the letters in sequence will not be possible. To achieve a full learning of the children, conversation, repetition of sound and picture association will help in their recognition and writing of the letters.
As per my suggestion, we should not introduce alphabets directly to the children. We should teach or help them to start with conversation. Conversation help them to learn language better than the letters.
ReplyDeleteNo,we should not introduce the alphabets directly to the children, we should teach the children with conversation,repetition of sound and picture associations.
ReplyDeleteTeaching languages to children need not to introduce to the alphabet, since children can learn languages by participating with games, activities outside the classroom and by using multimedia in the classroom.
ReplyDeleteChildren attaining the age of 4 years should be familiarised with the letters in sequence but should be taught one at a time.Once children are able to identify and name letters with ease,they can begin to learn letter sounds and spellings.
we are not supposed to introduce alphabets directly to the children,but we need to teach first by means of sound and pictures before we introduce them with alphabets.

ReplyDeleteTeaching languages to children need not to introduce to the alphabet, since children can learn languages by participating with games, activities outside the classroom and by using multimedia in the classroom.
ReplyDeleteIt is neither necessary nor feasible to start teaching languages to children by introducing the alphabet. This is because children can first better pick up the basics of a language through oral communication before moving on to the written form through alphabets, etc.
ReplyDeleteNo,we should not start teaching language by introducing alphabet directly.The conversation make children to learn faster and not the letters.
ReplyDeleteNo, we should not start teaching language by introducing alphabet directly .

ReplyDeleteYes, we have to start teaching languages by introducing children to alphabet.
ReplyDeleteYes, they should be familiarise
the letters in sequence.Because knowing the alphabet will make it easier for them to learn not only languages but also other subjects.

So, ECC is important to provide that early development and learning skills using different child friendly methods so as to make learning enjoyable; while simultaneously meeting their basic needs of care and love.
ReplyDeleteNo, conversation followed by teaching similar letters first would yield much better results than teaching alphabets in sequence
ReplyDeleteTaeching languages to children it is not necessary to introduce first the alphabet, but first it is important to train the languages through oral, rhythms of sound, showing pictures etc.
ReplyDeleteWe should not introduce alphabets directly to the children. We should teach the children with conversation, sound and pictures.
ReplyDeleteChildren can learn languages faster by interacting with others and the alphabet can be introduce by singing alphabet songs, play letter matching games, etc.
ReplyDeleteIntroducing children to the alphabet, According to me as a Teacher do feel that it's a great start. Like the way they have learn the English Alphabets the same way they will learn the other alphabets for other languages as well. Through this Process we can get a upcoming progress.
ReplyDeleteIt is neither necessary nor feasible to start teaching languages to children by introducing the alphabets. This is because children can first better pick up the basics of a language through and communication before moving on to the writer from through alphabets etc.
ReplyDeleteChildren don't learn by words, mostly they learn by imitating action or something totally. Therefore, it's not necessary to start mugging them up with alphabet.
ReplyDeleteIt is not necessary to start mugging them up with alphabet as kids catch faster when they see action or oral learning.
ReplyDeleteLanguage learning is better grasped through conversations.
ReplyDeleteLanguage is not only about alphabet learning but its about its usage in the social context specifically in the early years of learning. Phonemic awareness is crucial for language learning but it should emerge from context. For example - letters and sounds,words often repeated in a story can be chosen for learning letter sound relationship. A letter in a word and word in a story is comprehensible than an isolated letter in the alphabet.
ReplyDeleteIn this case, we should not introduce the alphabets directly to the children but orally make them play and interact with each other, sing and play together because it's a better grasp for them. Children familiarity with the alphabets will depend on the capabilities and skill to retain it.
ReplyDeleteTeaching languages to children is not necessary to introduce to the alphabet directly. The conversation make children to learn faster and not the letters.
ReplyDeleteNo, it is not necessary to start teaching languages by introducing children to the alphabet. We can introduce by means of sounds, pictures, songs and rhymes.
ReplyDeleteAs a teacher in this case we must remember not to introduce alphabets directly to the children on the first day on school when they are enter to the classroom dirctlly but must beging orally according to the capability of the child's motor skills it is alldepenon phisical
ReplyDeleteNo, it depends on the child. Most of the children begin recognising 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 our toddler to learn the alphabet if she/he doesn't seem interested yet.
ReplyDeleteYes, knowing letter names is strongly related to the children's ability to remember the forms of written words and their ability to treat words as sequences of letters.
This instruction should include activities in which children learn to identify, name and write both upper and lower cases versions of each letter.
As per my opinion, we should not introduce alphabets directly to the children. Children appear to acquire alphabetic knowledge in a sequence that begins with letter names, then letter shapes, and finally letter sounds. Children learn letter names by singing songs such as the "Alphabet Song," and by reciting rhymes. They learn letter shapes as they play with blocks, plastic letters, and alphabetic books. Informal but planned instruction in which children have many opportunities to see, play with, and compare letters leads to efficient letter learning. This instruction should include activities in which children learn to identify, name, and write both upper case and lower case versions of each letter.
ReplyDeleteWhen teaching our children the letters, we don't have to introduce them in alphabetical order. ... The letters in their names will have more meaning to them and give them more chances to practice recognizing those letters in different ways.
Children can learn language faster by interacting with others.The conversation help them to learn the language and not the letters.
ReplyDeleteIf we talk about languages then it means conversation. So,in order to learn language children need to be able to express themselves first freely,interact with classmates and teachers,create confidence,promote speaking and listening skills as well. Alphabets can be taught later.
ReplyDeleteNo rather children can learn about the language faster by interacting with others. The conversation they make help them to learn the language.

ReplyDeleteWhen teaching our children the letters we don't have to introduce them in alphabetical order. Letter-sound correspondences should be taught one at a time. As soon as the learner acquires one letter sound correspondence, introduce a new one. Letters that occur frequently in simple words (e.g., a, m, t) are taught first.
ReplyDeleteThe art of language is learnt much before the instruction of script and the alphabet.The alphabet can rather be used as a tool to enhance the knowledge of already learnt and inherited spoken language.
The sequence of the alphabet does not necessarily play a role in the learning of language and phonetics .The letters on their own complete the purpose .
It depends on your child. Most children begin recognising 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 she doesn't seem interested yet.

No, it is not necessary to start teaching language by introducing children to the alphabet. Language is not only about alphabet learning but is about its usage in the social context specifically in the early years of learning. But we can start teaching alphabet according to the capability of the child's motor skills.
ReplyDeleteWe need not to follow the sequence of the letters as it depends on the physical and mental capacity of the child to grasp slowly or fast.
SumarlangKshiar:-

Learning together,
Play games in foreign language,
Play cartoons,sing a song,
Through repetition,
Do our own play-by-play.
Etc.

ReplyDeleteNo. We are not supposed to introduce alphabets directly. But we begin orally then according to the capability of child's motor skill . We need not follow the sequence of the letters. It all depends on the physical and mental capacity of the child to grasp slowly or fast. Recognizing the letters with sound and written form accompanies one another i.reading and writing with full understanding.
ReplyDeleteNo, as a teacher during this stage we are not supposed to introduce alphabet firstly.we need not to follow the sequence of the letter it all depends on the physical and mental capacity of the child to grasp slowly or fast
ReplyDeleteNo, We are not introducing alphabet directly but using different methods to make learning enjoyable. According to the capability of the child. With songs, gaming, showing pictures, rhymes,etc. to help them to recognised the letter easily.
ReplyDeleteNo,we should not start with alphabets right away, especially for lower primary students. We should teach them orally through songs and dances. Try to capture their attention through their playful habits.
ReplyDeleteRaw language comes naturally in children by listening to their parents and adapt to the environment they lived in for learning languages children should first learnt the alphabet,familiarised with letters in sequence by giving them play meterials , singing songs,reciting rhymes repeatedly story telling and so on
ReplyDeleteNo, children should not be taught with alphabet at the initial stage. They must be given opportunities to learn by doing....example physical activty.....sorting out fruits, animals etc by names to assess the Pre Knowledge from home in mother tongue and other languages. In this way, gradually, alphabet can be taught to make them familiarize with words, pronunciation and sequence of letters.
ReplyDeleteLanguage is not only about alphabets learning but its about its usage in social context especially in the early years of learning. So inorder to start teaching languages we don't need to introduce directly with the alphabet. But yes slowly and gradually alphabet can be taught to them and make them familarised with the letters in sequence.
ReplyDeleteWe should not start teaching language by introducing alphabet directly
ReplyDeleteNo,as teacher in this case we must remember not to intriduce alphabets directly to the children
ReplyDeleteFurthermore, there is no agreed upon order in which to introduce the letter-sound relationships. It is generally agreed, however, that the earliest relationships introduced should be those that enable children to begin reading words as soon as possible.
ReplyDeleteMost research indicates that children learn the alphabet letter names in alphabetical order. ... In fact, it can make it harder to teach the sounds because if we follow the order of the alphabet most children will revert back to the letter name rather than the sound it makes
According to Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) is Suggested education for the early childhood stage.So at this Stage education is not only the basic need but taking care for them as well.So,ECCE is important for early development and learning skills by using different child friendly methods in order to make learning enjoyable,meaningful and concrete.
ReplyDeleteWe certainly do not have to start the learning of language with the introduction of alphabets. They are to be introduced orally thereby capturing their interest and aid in learning.
ReplyDeletePre - Primary and primary school students should be familiarised with the letters in sequence. While some kids learn letters very quickly, others need more repetition and time to learn letters. Children learn best when they have many multisensory experiences with letters.
Not necessary to introduce alphabets in learning language at the outset of learning for the children .Let them interact among children and learn to speak .In the process of communicating each other children will learn language faster.Later on teach them the alphabets.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, when we start to teach any language apart from mother tongue,it is necessary to create an environment that speaks the language. Introduction of alphabets and familiarization of with the letters in sequence should be done later
ReplyDeleteTeaching children the alphabet is foundational to learning how to read. Before children can put together sounds or draw together lines that make words, they need to know what they are. If we’ve never taught the alphabet before the concept may sound abstract: how do we teach something that comes so naturally to us? Teaching letters can be really fun and simple. Easy ways to teach the alphabet to preschoolers.
ReplyDelete1) Sing alphabet songs
2) Play letter matching games
3) Open a new 'alphabet box' each week
4) Use interdisciplinary learning with each letter, to strengthen letter associations.
We can start teaching our kids the alphabet as soon as they start to recognize different objects and shapes. While they may not start learning to read seriously until they are in school, it is never too early to start learning about letters.
ReplyDeleteHere’s what a preschooler should know before kindergarten:
1.Recite/sing the alphabet.
2.Identify uppercase letters.
3.Identify lowercase letters.
4.Match uppercase letters to
lowercase letters.
5.Identify the sounds each
letter makes.
6.Traces letters.
7.Write some alphabet letters.
In the context of early literacy skills, language is the major component. Hence, it is important to understand that:
ReplyDelete• Language is not only about alphabet learning but is about its usage in the social context specifically in the early years of learning
• Language is a medium of expression and self-development.
• Languages of children are different and knowledge-embedded.
The foundational stage is the most crucial for language learning because development of language skills at this level will determine their academic achievements across the curriculum. 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 when all these components are present, but in an integrated manner. At this stage, we want children to understand the usage of language in various contexts and forms and enhance their already developing language skills.
Teaching language to children is not necessary to introduce first the alphabet,but first it is important to train the language through oral, rhythms, conversation, pictures etc.
ReplyDeleteNo, directly we should not introducing alphabet to the children since they are new in their classroom we should used different method to make learning enjoyable. We can interacts with them by singing song together, playing games or showing pictures from the charts.
ReplyDeleteChildren appear to acquire alphabetic knowledge in a sequence that begin with letter names,letter shapes and finally letter sounds. Children learn letter names by singing the alphabet song or by reciting rhymes.
No, we do not have to start teaching languages to the children by introducing the alphabet instantly. Teaching the alphabet is foundational for reading and writing. Around the age of 2, children begin showing interest in learning alphabet letters. We can start teaching languages to children by reading all sorts of alphabetical books to the children, even starting as babies. The repetition will really help a child learn the alphabet at a young age. Children need not necessarily be familiarised with the sequence of letters. Since some kids learn letters very quickly, others need more repetition and time to learn letters. Children can learn letter names by singing songs such as the "Alphabet song" and by reciting rhymes. Furthermore, they can learn letter shapes as they play with blocks, plastic letters and alphabetical books. Through informal but planned instruction, children can have many opportunities to see, play with, and compare letters that leads to efficient letter learning which will eventually yield to learning language proficiently.
ReplyDeleteNo, we are not introducing alphabet directly but using different methods tomake learning by singing , playing games , rhymes etc.blocks and alphabet books. Most children begin to recognise some letters between the age of two'and three.Give them more chances to practice , recognising the letters in reading, writing in different ways.. Children can learn language Faster by interacting with Others..
ReplyDeleteWe should not introduce students directly into alphabet but we should start teaching them accordingly to their needs and understanding . We should first come up with basic things and then step by step according to their age and ability.
ReplyDeleteNo, we should not introduce students directly into alphabet but we should start teaching them according to the needs.
ReplyDeleteWe should always start from orally, conversation with others, singing songs , reciting rhymes and gradually familiarise them with letters.
ReplyDeleteNo...The most important thing is to start from orally,conversation with teacher and peer,action songs,telling stories,showing colourful pictures,reciting rhymes and play with them.
ReplyDeleteNo, we are not supposed to introduce alphabets directly they are to be introduced orally by means of sound and pictures etc
ReplyDeleteNo, we are not supposed to introduce alphabet directly.children learn letter names by singing songs and by reciting rhymes.
ReplyDeleteKeeping the LSRW in mind, we should first adopt the oral or natural methods, which is the active involvement of children in both listening and speaking. Children should first hear and uses the language before seeing it written.
ReplyDeleteAs a teacher in this case we must remember not to introduce alphabets directly to the children on the first day on school when they are enter to the classroom dirctlly but must beging orally according to the capability of the child's motor skills it is alldepenon phisical
ReplyDeleteThe Alphabet can be introduced initially in the form of dotted straight lines and dotted slanting lines.They can follow these dots and once the children have picked up the grip over the pencil with these dotted lines,they can then learn to draw these slanting/straight lines on their own.
ReplyDeleteIt is not necessary that children be familiarised with the letters in sequence.They can start with any letter that they are comfortable with while learning to write.
Language means interaction or communication so children learns faster by interaction and communication with others. And children always learn faster by singing a song or a rhyme's
ReplyDeleteNo we need not teach them alphabet before learning languages and the alphabet taught need not be in sequence. The learning ability of children during early childhood is fast we can teach them orally through songs,poems,action songs and so on,we can then later introduce alphabet to them by letting them understand the need to used them.
ReplyDeleteMost children begin recognising 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 she /he doesn't seem interested yet.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely starting teaching languages by introducing children to the Alphabet is a big 'no'. Children need to know the language first then learn the Alphabet. For example, through experience I've seen many children do not know the Hindi language at all but the system forces the children to learn the Hindi Alphabet directly as soon as they reach Class I which is very difficult for them and in turn they learn to dislike the subject.
ReplyDeleteTeaching languages to children is not necessary to introduce to the alphabet directly.we can introduce by means of sound, pictures,songs and rhymes.
ReplyDeleteSimply talking to them attentively is enough for them to pick up a language. Children learn by experiencing and listening to the world around them.
ReplyDeleteTeaching language to children's is not directly by alphabet .we can learn through song ,rhyme pictures etc.

ReplyDeleteWe should not start introducing Alphabets to children directly but Orally by getting the 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.Encourage your toddler to talk about the books and stories you read with her.Singing lots of songs and nursery rhymes will help your toddler to hear the sounds in words.You could also introduce an alphabet song. For example, "a is for apple, b is for banana, c is for carrot" and so on
ReplyDeleteNo, we should not start teaching alphabet directly to the child but we can teach orally by singing nursery rhymes which will help the child to learn ,hear sounds in words .
