How to Teach the Alphabet
There are many ways to teach a child the alphabet. You can teach them the sounds of each letter, which works well with learning how to sound out words and spell them. You can get them to repeat the letters after you say them and increase the number of letters they have to say at one time. Over the course of a week I guarantee that they will be able to say at least 5 to 10 letters at one time from memory. That is a good place to start, but you will always tell them the whole alphabet, for repetition is the key to learning something.
Here is a big no no
Having them learn it by themselves, you do not get the quality time with the child and you do not know if they are really trying to learn it or doing something else, they could lose track of what they are doing and go on to do something else and 20 minutes goes by and they have not learned a thing.
Teaching
A good way to teach young children the alphabet is by using associations with letter to word.
A - APPLE
B - BAT
C - CAT
D - DOG
E - ELEPHANT
F - FROG
G - GIRAFFE
H - HAT
I - IGLOO
J - JUMP
K - KITE
L - LAMP
M - MOM
N - NURSE
O - OWL
P - PIG
Q - QUEEN
R - ROBOT
S - SAW
T - TRAIN
U - UMBRELLA
V - VAN
W - WORM
X - XRAY
Y - YOYO
Z - ZEBRA
With that the best thing to do is also show them a picture of the word so that they know what you are talking about. Once they learn that pretty well, start getting them to make the association with different words. That will get them learning the first letter of words, which will also help with spelling.
Spelling
Teaching spelling can also be done with this. You can find many different things on the web on how to teach a child the alphabet, but repetition helps the most. Get the child to repeat the alphabet. See there are so many things. Repetition and association have seemed to work best, as I taught my little brother this way.
