ABC learning games and English learning games to help tackle learning difficulties with letters and words
Unfortunately there are times when children feel pressured, frustrated and insecure on any given subject.
I remember doing an abc learning game with a 5 ½ year old girl named Emma in our nursery, if you asked her what letter is this, to any letter, she would say as many letters that she knew, which would also be mixed up with numbers. She would be in a state, just wanting to get away from the situation.
This same girl only two months later had confidence with letters, which she gained, not by pushing her, but through encouragement. Feeling more self assured she would ask about letters and enjoy letter and word games.
How did we do this?
At first we stopped a direct one to one letter teaching approach….
We let her play with letter jigsaws and words.
We would read LetterLand book, which is a great book that tells a story about each letter of the alphabet, it has lovely colored picture for each letter, but also has many objects in the picture that corresponds to the main letter on the page.
We also put the LetterLand CD on when the children where having dinner or free play.
In this way, Emma could observe and listen to what was going on, without having to get directly involved. She could stay comfortable and feel secure.
Then when we where playing abc learning games, we would help her by saying out the letters, or start saying the answer, and then giving lots of prays and encouragement when she answered.
It just goes to show that each child will pick new skills up at their own time, but with praise and encouragement you can make your child feel secure and loved.
