How Do You Learn The Alphabet With Learning Blocks?
Alphabet blocks are a wonderful hands-on way to learn the alphabet. Learning blocks can be purchased in many different alphabets (not just standard English), and most of them include pictures or words to increase the educational potential. Have a complete set of alphabet blocks. No matter what language you are teaching, make sure you have a complete set. They can be easily misplaced–especially by young children–so it is important to have a bag or box where they are stored between play times. Encourage play with the blocks. Remember that play is a child’s work. The reason alphabet blocks work as a learning tool is that they are fun and educational at the same time. Allow your child to stack the blocks, make patterns or just practice holding them. During this play time, point out the letters or words on the block by saying things like, “Oh, you have the A block and I have the B block. Can you find the C block?” This encourages them to recognize the letters and be able to pick them out.
