Answer 1

i think you should try to get her to relate each alphabet to somethings she likes............. like if she likes pie so you can teach her to think of the shape of letter 'p' when she thinks of pie............something like that

Answer 2

I am studying to be a preschool teacher right now and will be graduating in December. One thing that is emphasized in my studying is appropriate curriculum for a child's age level. It is not developmentally appropriate to teach a 3 1/2 year old child the alphabet. On the other hand, you can make your home a "print-rich" environment. Determine which items in the home are of high interest to your child. Attach a label to the object that contains the word of that object and the object's picture. Gradually over time, your child will begin to associate the words with the object. Your child will also associate the beginning letter with the beginning sound of the object's label. A great place to start is by hanging a picture of your child at your child's eye level and label the picture with your child's name. As your child becomes more familiar with the letters, then you can begin emphasizing the first letter of your child's name.

Answer 3

I'm learned in psychology and human cognition, and here are my suggestions...

An alphabet is a symbol, a pattern just like any other object that a child learns to identify. The human brain usually develops affinity for patterns or topics that have an incentive with it, in other words if there is benefit attached to the learning.
So your child usually learns to identify things like an ice-cream, a cola, toys faster because there is an element of fun and benefit attached to it.

So when you teach your child alphabets or numbers, attach an incentive to it. You could either gift your child or praise your child for every alphabet learned, or create associations of the alphabet around desirable objects. For e.g. A for Apple Pie, C for Chocolate or Candy ... I for Ice Cream etc.

Do not force or beat your child into learning, this will create a repulsion for the topic and your child will stray away from learning.

Hope that helps! All the best

Answer 4

Sing to her. Make up games For example going on a B hunt! I put the letters all over the school or home. Then say lets find the letter B . I also made alphabet soup. Make learning fun. Kids respond better to song and games. I try to use the five senses to teach my children. ( B says BA !B say BA! every letter makes a sound B says BA) . Then I try to let them trace the letter in sand or use pasta to make the letter B. Then go on an B hunt. This all sounds silly but My kids will know the B by them time they go home!

Answer 5

firstly let me tell you,please dont get irritated,she is just 3 1/2,she is a little learner she needs a loot of time to learn new things and anyway there is no hurry ,she will pick it up when she is ready(pl dont care about friends comments or anything like that) pick a time u are really much relaxed and she too.may be after her nap and food when she is ready to play.Dont teach from books ,try to make it a play time and take it really slow like 2 alphabets per week in the beginning and see she will learn in no time.I wish u all the best

Answer 6

You may want to only pick one letter a day..this will help her from being overwhelmed. Also if you are getting irritated, she will pick up on that and react adversely.
You want this to be a fun experience for her..not traumatic...keep it fun..even if she doesn't respond by saying the letter or making the sounds..you should feel confident that she is picking up what you're trying to teach. When you two go out and about...look at the road signs and store signs and show her the letters that you find and make the sounds to her.
Remember only a few minute (maybe 5) at a time for teaching as her attention span will not hang on as long as you like. What you are trying to teach your little sweetie is admirable...try to keep it fun!!!!
Also keep in mind that at that age it is common for a toddler to pronounce incorrectly and also maybe have auditory trouble .

Answer 7

Better get some plastic alphabets and put it on the floor. Play a game like ask her to pick A or C whatever ur writing on a board.
My Son is 3 year old and i used the same technique. It worked out well. But give her some snack for each correct Alphabet. Please try this out.

Answer 8

Do not try to experiment with too many ways. Set a pattern and keep following it everyday. COncentrate on just four letters at once and at the end sing out all the letters from A to the last letter she has learned for the day. When you try too many ways, the child gets confused. Stick to A for apple for the timebeing. Don't try to teach too many words from one letter. Once she learns her alphabets, then try to teach her the different kind of sounds that come from them.

Answer 9

Many parents worry about if their child can recognize their letters- however your child needs go through several steps developmentally before letter recognition is relevant to your child. Until she understands why and wants to learn her letters you are wasting her time. Start with the letters in her name and words that are important to her- Mom, Dad, sibling's name... She will be motivated to learn those. Then encourage her to play- children who can make believe will become the best readers. When she is playing find ways to involve literacy into her play. For example, playing "restaurant" make a menu... I would focus on writing and understanding the purpose of writing at this age- not letter recognition- children who know their letters at a young age are not necessarily more prepared for Kindergarten than those who don't- it's more about social skills. Learning Language should be fun for young children- not a chore.

Answer 10

She is 3 1/2 years old, so make it fun so she will learn to love school. Try coloring worksheets. I like http://www.crayola.com for younger children. I also like http://www.schoolexpress.com in the section for 3-5 years. You may also use refrigerator magnets of the alphabet. Also try http://www.starfall.com , this is a free web site to help teach reading in a fun way for little ones. These sites are free! Just pay for paper and ink.

Answer 11

You have to make it a game, otherwise she won't be interested. If it's somethign she feels she 'has to do' then it will feel like a chore.

Leap Frog sells this product that is magnetic and goes on the refridgerator.

The main base piece has a groove in it where you stick the letters. There are both big and small letters.

When you put a letter in the groove, it goes "d" says "du" "dog" and so on.....
