Foundational Language and Literacy
ReplyDeleteYes
DeletePLAYFUL METHODS MUST BE USED
DeleteWe should start teaching language after checking previous knowledge if they don't know alphabet so we should teach it first
DeletePlayway methods should be used to teach the children. Previous knowledge of the children is very important to introduce a topic.
DeleteWhile introducing the alphabet is a common approach, it's not the only way to start teaching languages. Children can be exposed to language through stories, rhymes, and conversations, developing phonological awareness and language skills. Familiarizing children with letters in sequence can be helpful, but it's not essential. A more holistic approach, focusing on meaningful language experiences, can lay a stronger foundation for future reading and writing skills.
DeleteWe should check their previous understanding and plan our activities accordingly to introduce language if they are well verse with the content and need little efforts to make them improve then we should give them a helpful hand to make them rise in their foundational years of learning. it can be done by using different methods like games, activities and much more

ReplyDeleteGood to learn
ReplyDeleteYes it is very necessary to start learning language with the alphabets because what language they speak they should be able to read and write. Reading and writing can be done skillfully if they know the alphabets. Sequence is important because it helps them to memorize and recognise the letters or words.
ReplyDeleteYes it is important to start teaching a language with introduction to alphabet. Sequence may not be necessary.
ReplyDeleteIt is very meaningful,how start teaching a language and also how important that mother tongue are very important
ReplyDeletemore than sequence its the letter and its sound that matters . I strongly believe that learning of language should start with reading word/ small sentences and making them aware of sounds as they go on reading . Sequence can learnt later than the usage of letters
ReplyDeleteYes along with alphabet sequence teacher need to teach kids alphabet with sounds and simple examples so they can understand easily.
ReplyDeleteAny of the language should start from alphabets.
ReplyDeleteIn my childhood our teachers recitate the alphabet to simple words and finally go to sentence. Those steps lead us a good learner.
ReplyDeleteYes, we are learning the languages with some famielarities by recitate or identify the alphabets.
ReplyDeleteTeaching children alphabets of languages in sequence will sure help the learning process.
ReplyDeleteIt could be first step to go on the top floor of language.
ReplyDeleteWe should start teaching language after checking previous knowledge if they don't know alphabet so we should teach it first.
ReplyDeleteNo sequence required for learning language
ReplyDeleteWe should start language from rhymes, stories
First they will find same rhyming words in poems
Then gradually we start letters and sounds
If child can identify letter in any print material and child can say sound of it then no need to learn sequence of alphabet
I think showing them familiar objects and asking them to name those will not only aware them of phonology but also the alphabet of the word and then we don't need any sequences
ReplyDeleteChildren should begin with listening, speaking, reading and then writing. They should listen to stories, rhymes, narrate stories and converse with others. This helps them to develop language. They need not learn alphabets first,
ReplyDeletePupils must know lellers first. in different languages including their mother tongue this can be developed by listening speaking reading and writing , expressing in their own way.what they learnt from their Life experiences. .
ReplyDeleteYes, alphabets in any language, plays the key role, followed by words, small sentences and so on and so forth.
ReplyDeleteChildren should be familiarised with letters and numbers.
ReplyDeleteYes
ReplyDeleteYes.
ReplyDeleteYes, learning a language is systematic process
ReplyDeleteNo we shouldn't. First we should start normal conversation in that language in the classroom with the help of mother tongue as it can bridge in understanding... facilitator must use gestures along with words to make the meaning more clear to them after developing some familiarity with that language he/she can start with writing part
ReplyDeleteLSRW
First and foremost foundational skills should be introduce and then alphabet in sequence.
ReplyDeleteYes. They need to be familiarised with the letters in sequence.
ReplyDeleteYes it is important to start teaching a language with introduction to alphabet. Sequence may not be necessary.
ReplyDeleteKnowing, identification and sound association of letters are more important than knowing their sequence . Not knowing the Sequence will not harm the oral and written skills of the students
ReplyDeleteThe first thing any child develop is by hearing the rhyming words of any language and this we can gradually introduce the sounds of the letters and their grasping will be reflected hence sequence is not that important.
ReplyDeleteYes, absolutely!
ReplyDeleteAlphabets form the core foundation for kids to learn about words and stories and acquire knowledge about the world around them. Hence, teaching the alphabet to the kids is the first step to introducing them to the world of language and vocabulary.

ReplyDeleteIn order to become literate, our children must be able to recognize each letter, both in order and out of order, as well as the sounds connected with that letter. Once armed with that knowledge, then a child is well on the road to reading and literacy. Learning the alphabet should begin early in a child's life.
ReplyDeleteसबसे पहले बच्चों से लाइन खींचवाकर वर्णमाला बनवाना चाहिए और प्रैक्टिस
ReplyDeleteकरवानी चाहिए बाद में क्रम से वर्णमाला सिखानी चाहिए|
Learning a language should begin with the alphabet, as it is essential for reading and writing in that language. Knowing the alphabet allows children to read and write effectively. Understanding the sequence of letters is crucial, as it aids in memorization and recognition of letters and words.
ReplyDeleteYes, absolutely
ReplyDeleteLearning literacy by starting with alphabets is important. First the alphabets with similar and easier sounds to be started with like vowels.
ReplyDeleteYes.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely
ReplyDeleteWITH ALPHABETS AND SOUNDS
ReplyDeleteWe should start teaching language after checking previous knowledge if they don't know alphabet so we should teach it firstLearning a language should begin with the alphabet, as it is essential for reading and writing in that language. Knowing the alphabet allows children to read and write effectively.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, we will develop listening and speaking skills in children with the help of mother tongue .
ReplyDeleteSound and pronunciation matters and later they can learn the sequence.
ReplyDeleteYes . we need to follow the sequence of language learning
ReplyDeleteyes children should be familiarised with alphabets
ReplyDeleteYes , children should be familiarised with the letters in sequence.
ReplyDeleteAny of the language should start from alphabets.
ReplyDeleteInstead of teaching letters directly, first introduce the names of objects by writing the first letter of the name of object on it, let child recognise one letter at a time with lots of examples and phonetics of the letter. While teaching sequence is not compulsory we can start with standing letters - L , E, F then gradually going towards slating letters , then curved letters.
ReplyDeleteWe should check the child's previous knowledge first to introduce into a new language
ReplyDeleteStarting language teaching by introducing children to the alphabet is helpful, but not always necessary. Familiarizing children with letters in sequence can provide a structured foundation, yet learning can also be effective through phonics, storytelling, and interactive activities that emphasize sound recognition and usage in context. A mixed approach often works best.

ReplyDeleteWhen we start teaching the child with the language we basically start with alphabets and teach with the alphabets and their sounds moreover it is not necessary that the child will be able to understand the alphabets and their sound it is more familiar here that we can introduce the alphabets with the help of the mother tongue that the child knows better in the family environment so to deal with the child man to introduce the alphabet we can also take a child with the familiar word that he knows often and then we introduce the alphabet in the context
ReplyDeletewith the mother tongue.
Alphabets are the very first thing to acheive literacy...we can use simple objects around us to start with, like F for Fan.
ReplyDeleteTeaching languages doesn't have to start with the alphabet; children benefit from engaging with spoken language, stories, and songs first. Familiarizing them with letters in sequence can be helpful, but integrating letters through meaningful context and play often proves more effective.
ReplyDeleteYes alphabet sequence is thought first as to read and write. We can teach them in play way method with the sound and alphabet related object. Eg B se b , b b ball

ReplyDeleteChildren should be learn alphabets with proper sounds
ReplyDeleteKnowledge of letters is a must to learn a language but teaching children a language specially mother tounge may not begin with teaching the alphabet. Oral language begins with vocabulary. For writing they definitely need to learn the alphabet but teaching alphabet in sequence is not necessary.
ReplyDeleteWe should start teaching language after checking previous knowledge if they don't know alphabet so we should teach it first
ReplyDeletePronunciation of the alphabets help the children to develop their vocabulary.
ReplyDeletePlayway method to teach alphabets should take the first place.
ReplyDeleteNo, teaching language doesn’t have to start with the alphabet. Children can learn language through speaking and listening first. Familiarizing them with letters in sequence isn’t necessary early on; they can learn them naturally through stories, songs, and play.
ReplyDeleteTeaching the alphabets is necessary for learning, reading and writing skills. But the order of introducing the alphabets need not be a prime concern. The letters can be introduced along with their sounds so that the child can find it ease while reading. Once, they start to read they can find the joined and blend sounds of the letters which motivates them to form the words which results in writing without spelling errors.
ReplyDeleteStarting with the alphabet is a common approach, but it's not the only way to teach languages. Introducing children to letters in sequence can help with reading and writing skills, but it's also effective to focus on language comprehension through listening and speaking first. Immersive methods, like interactive storytelling, songs, and conversations, can be engaging and effective. The key is to adapt the approach based on the child’s needs, interests, and the language's complexity.
ReplyDeleteYes language learning should start with alphabets . This can be through videos audio clips . Coz children in the initial days learn through listening to the people around them.thankyou
ReplyDeleteNo, teaching language doesn’t have to start with the alphabet. Children can learn language through speaking and listening first.

ReplyDeletewe have to start teaching language by introducing children to the alphabet.Children should be familiarised with the letters in sequence.
ReplyDeletePrior knowledge by listening to a particular language can help the children to develop speaking, then reading skills with practice and finally we can build up their writing skills by introducing new letter formation.To simply, LSRW method of learning.
ReplyDeleteYes children's should be familiarized with letters in sequence
ReplyDeleteStudents acquire language without learning alphabet with activity. With this they are able to speak and understand what the other said. But to read and write language it is mandatory to learn alphabet in sequence.
ReplyDeleteNo we should slowly introduce the alphabet when they are ready to understand.
ReplyDeleteWe should start with alphabets because any language required first to understand basic then slowly upgrade the levels
ReplyDeleteYes , children should be familiarised with the letters in sequence.
ReplyDeleteChildren acquire language without learning alphabets but to read and write they need to know the alphabets in sequence
ReplyDeleteNo. To learn a language first children must be taught listening and then speaking, reading and writing will be advanced stage.
ReplyDeleteWe can teach children a language by making them listen to it, speak and then read and write.
ReplyDeleteNot at all.
ReplyDeleteI think children learn by their observation and also by listening.
When it comes to teaching languages to children, introducing them to the alphabet is a crucial step. However, I don't think it's necessary to start by introducing children to the alphabet in sequence. Here's why:
ReplyDelete1. *Children learn through play*: Children learn best through play and interactive activities. Introducing the alphabet in sequence can be a dry and boring approach, which may not engage children and make them lose interest in learning.
2. *Focus on phonological awareness*: Instead of introducing the alphabet in sequence, it's more important to focus on phonological awareness. This means teaching children to recognize and manipulate sounds in words, such as rhyming, word families, and segmenting.
3. *Use a more holistic approach*: A more holistic approach to teaching languages would involve introducing children to the sounds, rhythms, and patterns of language, rather than just the individual letters. This can be done through songs, rhymes, stories, and conversations.
4. *Make it fun and interactive*: Learning should be fun and interactive. Using games, puzzles, and activities that incorporate the alphabet can make learning more engaging and enjoyable for children.
5. *Introduce letters in context*: Introducing letters in context, such as through words and phrases, can help children understand the relationship between sounds and letters. This approach can also help children develop their phonological awareness and decoding skills.
Ultimately, the key to teaching languages to children is to make it fun, engaging, and interactive. By using a combination of approaches and being flexible and adaptive, you can help children develop a strong foundation in language and a love of learning that will last a lifetime.
Children learn on he basis f their understanding imagination power
ReplyDeleteNo we should not, firstly we should make hom familar with sounds and with sound identity the things then grapsing of alphabet.
ReplyDeleteWe should check their previous understanding and plan our activities accordingly to introduce language if they are well verse with the content and need little efforts to make them improve then we should give them a helpful hand to make them rise in their foundational years of learning. it can be done by using different methods like games, activities and much more
