English alphabet – printable cards with pictures and transcription

These cards need to be printed on thick paper or cardboard, then cut along the lines and glued. I made two versions of the cards. In the first, there is a letter on one side, and a word and a picture on the other (as on the electronic cards above). In the second version, there is a letter on one side, a transcription and a picture on the other.

5 interesting facts about the English alphabet

Word alphabet comes from the names of the first two letters of the ancient Greek alphabet: alpha and beta.
The most common letter of the English alphabet is E, and the least common one is Z.
Longest word without a letter E, - This floccinaucinihilipilification, which roughly translated means “a disdainful attitude toward something.”
Dot on the letter i called title.
There is a pangram phrase that includes the entire alphabet without repetition: “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.” It was originally used to test the performance of typewriters. Nowadays it is used to test keyboards and visually display fonts.

Friends! I don't currently tutor, but if you need a teacher, I recommend this wonderful site- there are native (and non-native) language teachers there 👅 for all occasions and for any pocket 🙂 I myself took more than 80 lessons with the teachers I found there! I advise you to try it too!

For the development of our children, here I have collected a selection of good cards with the Russian alphabet for children. They will help our kids get acquainted with the symbols of the letters of the Russian alphabet, learn which words begin with a particular letter of the Russian alphabet, expand their horizons, attentiveness, fine motor skills of the fingers, speech, perseverance and much more.

You can print several versions of letter cards at once and change them daily so that your child does not have time to get bored with them.

These are suitable for children of different ages who are starting to learn the Russian alphabet.

You can cut them into cards or use them as small posters that can be hung on the wall at child's eye level.

You can download the letter cards here for free - click on the image below to download and print:

On these cards, your child sees a letter and a word starting with that letter. Here are collected pictures of animals and objects close to the baby, such as a bus, drum, bucket, truck, house, raccoon, helicopter, giraffe, goat, turkey, buffalo, cat, horse, ml, nutria, sheep, pony, fish, dog, terrier, duck, pheasant, hamster, chicken, turtle, silkworm, puppy, bull, emu, camel, pig.

Second option

You can use them both as letter cards and as a poster. Or you can also print out two options, one of which is cut into cards and learns sorting - placing the cut cards on the field with uncut cards. Here are collected words such as: watermelon, squirrel, grapes, mushroom, house, raccoon, hedgehog, beetle, umbrella, needle, iodine, cat, frog, ball, thread, cloud, saw, rocket, sun, cake, snail, flashlight , bread, flower, watch, ball, brush, excavator, spinning top, apple.

A very good option with cards with letters and animals starting with this letter. The words are also signed below.

Cards with letters

Good luck in your studies - develop your little smart kids.

If your child already knows all the letters of the Russian alphabet, I advise you to continue learning the Russian language with the help, which you can download completely free of charge on my website.

The letters of the Russian alphabet are divided into vowels and consonants. There are 10 vowel letters, these are A E E I O U Y Y E Y YA. Consonants 21 - B C D D F G H J K L M N P R S T F X C Ch Sh Sh. There are 33 letters in total.

Letters Kommersant And b are neither vowels nor consonants.

Spend time with your child in an interesting and useful way. We wish you success.

How to play with your child using cards with letters?

Game number 1. Name the letter.

Before you start playing this game, introduce your child to a few letters.

You show your child a card with a letter, and he says which letter is written. For the correct answer, the child receives a chip. At the end of the game there is a prize. Please note that vowels are written in red and consonants in blue.

Tell your child that sounds are vowels and consonants. Vowel sounds are easy to sing, shout, and pronounce. There is nothing in the mouth - neither lips nor tongue. Let the child guess what vowel sound is in the words: poppy, forest, cat, house, etc.

And consonants. When pronouncing them, something constantly gets in the way in the mouth - either the lips or the tongue. Play, let the child name the consonants he hears: day, meadow, juice, poppy, etc.

Use this game to learn all the letters of the alphabet.

Game No. 2. Name words starting with the given letter.

Offer any letter that the baby knows, and take turns saying words starting with that letter. Now let the child choose the letter, come up with words again, and continue in the same way.

Game No. 3. Who says that?

Before starting the game, choose one card with a letter that begins with a consonant sound (for example, m). Next to this letter, place the letter representing the vowel sound (for example, “a”).

At first, you shouldn’t push your child and insist that he read more syllables. Focus your attention on the question: “Who says that?” The child must answer which animal makes such a voice.

For each correct answer, give a chip. Over time, the game can be played in a group of children and a competition can be organized to see who can name the proposed syllables faster and more correctly.

Game number 4. Change the vowel.

In this game, the first letter, the consonant, remains unchanged, but the letters that represent the vowel sound change. For example: ma, mo, mu, mi, me, we, me. Then the first letter can be replaced (the child can choose the letter himself) and continue reading.

Game number 5. Change the consonant.

In this game, the first letter, the vowel, remains unchanged, but the letters that represent the consonant sound change. For example: am, an, hell, av, ash, ar, at. Then the first letter can be replaced (the child can choose the letter himself) and continue reading.

Game number 6. Funny letter combinations.

This game is perhaps the most difficult at this stage of learning, since the child needs to read letter combinations that consist only of consonant sounds (fl, zv, kr, sl, st, br, gl, pl, hl, zm, kr, dv, sk, kv). To interest your child, invite him to choose the funniest letter combination from those that he reads.

Game No. 7. Create a syllable.

Using letter cards, invite your child to write the syllable you name. For a correctly completed task, the child receives a chip.

You can organize a competition with prizes in a group of children. The first one to create a syllable will receive a chip. At the end of the game, a winner is selected based on the number of chips received and receives a prize.

Game No. 8. Put the word together.

Using cards with letters, you need to form a word of three, and later of four or five letters, invented by your playing partner. For example, you named the word “garden”, and the child must put it together from letters. Then, on the contrary, the child names a three-letter word, and you add it up. Be sure to ask your child to check if you completed the task correctly. For fun and to check your attentiveness, sometimes make mistakes. Let the child identify them. Each correctly written word is awarded a chip. The one who collects the most chips wins.

Hello my dear!

Today we have an interesting lesson ahead of us "English alphabet for children" , which will also benefit adults just starting to learn the language.

The article is devoted to how remember faster and more efficiently English alphabet with unfamiliar letters and sounds. And for this I collected in it exhaustive amount of materials:

for visual reference ( pictures, letters s and pronunciation),
for listening ( songs, audio),
to view ( video),
for downloading and printing ( cards, poster (word, pdf)),
and of course, to consolidate new things with the help of interesting games and tasks.

Let's study

Today I have prepared pictures for you that you can not only read and listen to online on my website, but also print out for yourself and teach in any free minute. First, let's look at the entire alphabet (click on the picture to enlarge), listen to all its letters, and then listen to its classic and long-loved song:

If you also listen to these 2 songs, you will understand that there is an American version of the pronunciation of the alphabet, the difference of which is only in the pronunciation of the last letter. It may be a small thing, but you need to know about it!

An ideal assistant in learning letters for a child aged 3-5 years will be Sound poster with Russian and English alphabet !

Also be sure to try A fascinating soft mosaic with English letters.

If your child loves to communicate with gadgets, be sure to purchase Children's online course from Puzzle English . After completing this exciting journey course, your child will not only be able to recognize and correctly pronounce all the letters of the English alphabet, but will also learn to reproduce basic English speech. You can purchase the course on this page (Tick the Ticher Method - “Children's Course”)

You can watch my short overview of the course in the video:

And here is the alphabet with uppercase and lowercase letters. Try the following activity with your child:

look at the picture next to the letter and say the word in Russian,
find the corresponding English word in the Russian-English dictionary,
check if it starts with a letter indicated in the alphabet,
Write down the English letter and word in a notebook or notepad and draw a picture next to it.

An alphabet with English and Russian transcriptions of letters will help you pronounce them correctly.

And you can study these letters with words online - by watching and listening to their pronunciation.

And here is the promised word file for downloading and printing. For each letters have your own English word. On page A4 - 2 letters.

How to work with it:

Print it out.
Take colored pencils or markers and color the letters with your child (you can do this in the same way as the picture - add eyes or a mouth).
Try to draw what it says next to each letter.
During the process, be sure to tell your child about the drawn objects or animals or ask him questions about them.
Work slowly with every letter: First say it several times with different intonations, pitch of voice, etc., then say the word written next to it. Then you can take 2 letters (previously cut into separate cards) and show them to the child - try to give him the opportunity to show the correct letter from the 2 you named.
If your child is already 5 years old, you can master not only capital letters, but also capital letters. You need to explain to the baby that each letter has its own little brother, who is smaller in height and sometimes different from the older one (you can see them in the picture below). On the printed cards you can draw the younger brothers next to the older brothers - all the kids should like this!

I have another word file for you, where, unlike the previous one, colorful uppercase and lowercase letters and also English and Russian transcription for correct pronunciation. On sheet A4 - 2 letters. Download and enjoy it together with your child:

And this is a pdf poster with the English alphabet - for printing. It can be printed on A4 or A3 sizes. Colorful English letters are complemented by transcription (Russian and English), which will help any child and adult quickly remember English letters and their correct sounds.

Alphabet in colorful videos

Yes, the most effective and fastest way for a child to learn new English letters is to also watch a video. Now they are not at all difficult to find. Here are some fun ones:

And here is a whole series of cartoons, each of which is dedicated to a separate English letter. Video in Russian.

The last two videos are very good material for learning not only English letters, but also the sounds they make in some words.

Poems

Videos are always fascinating, but what about rhymes for quickly memorizing English letters? Have you tried it? Then go ahead! Children really like them. Click on the icon in the upper right corner for increase...

Games and tasks

I can offer you at least 10 more entertaining games and tasks to remember the letters of the English alphabet that are new to your child and their sequence ( about learning through games for children, also read). These games can be played as one-on-one with the child, and organize them for a group of children.

Learning with a ball

There can be many different variations of ball games for children. For example, you can throw a ball to each other and take turns saying the next letter. Or, for example, throw a ball against a wall and call it with each hit.

Draw a letter

Guessing cards

Try this option: you show your baby a picture of an apple - and he calls you “a” - apple. Or you show a kitten, and he calls you “c” - cat. Of course, this is more of a memory game and is suitable for more conscious children. But for repeating what you have learned, it is ideal like no other.

Alphabet train

The goal of this easy task game is to build a train from a pile of cards with English letters, each carriage of which must stand in its place. Only then will he go!

Stop song

The task here is to listen carefully to the alphabet song, and when the recording stops (the adult pauses at any point in the song), the children must repeat the last letter they heard and show the card with it.

Neighbours

From a pile of cards with letters turned upside down, the child chooses any one. The task is to remember the neighboring letter of the one that is in the child’s hands. In this case, you can call the previous letter or the next one. Any answer will be correct.

Guess it quickly

The goal of the game is to guess as quickly as possible what letter the adult is writing (who slowly and slowly writes a large English letter on a board or piece of paper in parts).

Add a dance to the song

One of my students was wildly restless. And in order to learn everything, we had to come up with a real dance with her, where for each letter we made a new movement, reminiscent of its shape. It’s amazing and incredibly strange, I tell you, but we managed to master it.

Connectors by points

This interesting and favorite activity for all children will help them quickly remember not only the letters of the English alphabet, but also their sequence. Here are 4 such pictures that you can download, print and use.

Letter - picture

Another exciting activity that will require children to know words (rather, it will be an association of a letter with a picture) beginning with certain letters of the alphabet. This requires preliminary preparation and work with pictures and words. I found these 6 printable pictures on the Preschool website (kindereducation.com). We connect the letters with the necessary pictures, and then color them for fun.

Don't try to do everything by force. From my experience working with children, I know that if you don’t interest them, but force them to remember something, there will be absolutely no effect. The baby will only hate the language, and then it will be even more difficult for you and him ( Where to start teaching your child English).

Also, don't try to memorize without the help of a song, video or photo. The child will not even begin to turn on his “memory” processes. These words should burn red in your mind when it comes to learning: HE SHOULD BE INTERESTED!

And lastly, he must at least somehow understand why this is necessary. Yes, it’s difficult to explain to a little person of 3-5 years old why he needs to learn any other sounds if everyone speaks the ones he already knows. So come up with some kind of fairy tale ( you can use), or watch a cartoon with him where individual words are spoken in a foreign language. This may arouse in him a desire to learn them himself.

And finally...

Of course, all children are different, and not all methods of work are suitable for everyone. Therefore, I can immediately advise looking for the right path to your baby. He will love English if you show it to him in the right light.
