What is the alphabet and the alphabet each of us knows from childhood, well, or learn about it in the first grade of the school. For the forgetful, we give a definition of what an alphabet is: an alphabet is a collection of letters or other signs of a given letter system, given in alphabetical order. This definition gives us an explanatory dictionary of Vladimir Dal. So, we have figured out the definition, but a new question appears, the answer to which I would like to know: why do I need to know the alphabet? One can almost with absolute certainty state that this question torments many students of junior classes who have to face the study of the alphabet. Let's try to answer this sentimental question.
Why do I need to know the alphabet?
Let's start, perhaps, from the first, which comes to mind, and accordingly - from the most important. The alphabet is the base for learning any language. Of course, you can learn to speak without knowledge of the alphabet, the proof of which are children who learn to speak without having the faintest idea what kind of beast it is - the alphabet. But learning to speak is only one of the steps in learning a language, because besides this one must learn how to read and write. But it's hardly possible to master these lessons without knowledge of the alphabet. After all, in order to learn to understand letters and read them, to begin with, you just need to learn them. A similar situation with a letter - to write a letter, you need to know what it looks like and what sound it means. Thus, we can come to an extremely logical conclusion - without the alphabet it is impossible to master the language. And this applies not only to the native language, which we, as a matter of fact, teach since birth, but also any other language, for learning which you decide to undertake.
In addition, the alphabet can be called an integral part of the development of civilization and culture, because it is through mastering the language that a person can begin to master other sciences, as well as transfer his knowledge to other people. So progress without language would not be possible, since knowledge would be lost over time, and since language can not be learned without an alphabet, one can draw another conclusion - the alphabet is an important part of progress.
How to start learning the alphabet?
Some parents believe that if there is a school, then that's where the child needs to learn, where his head is stuffed with knowledge and letters of the alphabet in order. But this is not entirely true opinion, because the child will be much easier to study at school if he still has time to get some knowledge at home, even the most basic ones. For example, he will begin to study the alphabet .
If you are stumped by the fact that you do not know where to start this educational process, then do not be scared and just start everything from the game. Now in the shops there are a lot of various toys that will help the child learn the alphabet. For example, cubes with the image of letters (for example, cubes Zaitsev ), magnetic alphabets and other interesting toys that will attract the child's attention
To begin with, it does not matter in which order you will learn the letters. If the child has more to liking the letter "U", then why not learn it first instead of the letter "A"? For the first time, it's enough that you just begin to teach letters together with the child and he will gradually learn to distinguish them, and he will be able to study the alphabetical order of letters already in school, if by that time you do not have time to teach it.
The alphabet is the most important part of any language. Without knowing the alphabet, people could not read books, navigate the catalogs, write down their knowledge ... Yes, there really - without knowing the alphabet, you would not even be able to read this article. So you need to know the alphabet and to learn the alphabet is just as important as learning to count it.
