Alphabet without pictures

In order to learn to read, you need to learn letters. In order to help in this difficult matter, I suggest downloading these cards with the letters of the Russian alphabet. There are many similar cards on the Internet, but most often there is a picture along with the letter. This isn't always a good thing. These cards only have letters.

Moreover, there are painted letters. As usual, red is for vowels, blue is for consonants. But there are also cards with outline letters nearby. You can paint them yourself.

There are 4 cards per standard album sheet. This size is convenient to work with. But you can print it twice smaller in size, and a few more copies. And put words together with the child.

The Russian language is one of the most vibrant, interesting and rich languages in the world. Millions of the best works are written on it - stories, fairy tales, poems. The language is rich and will not be repeated. Like everything fundamental, the Russian language has its own basis - the alphabet.

The birth of the Russian alphabet

Work on the creation of the alphabet began in 860 by order of the ruler of Byzantium, Michael III. He instructed two brothers from the Greek city of Thessaloniki: Cyril and Methodius, to form a written Slavic language. Later, the Cyrillic alphabet was formed from the Greek version of the alphabet by Bulgarian monks.

The formation of the Russian alphabet is directly related to the adoption of Christianity in Europe. Slavic writing began to spread from Bulgaria after Tsar Boris adopted Christianity in 860. It was in Bulgaria that the first written Slavic school was founded. In it, ancient writings - chronicles - were translated into Slavic. Further Old Slavonic language appeared in Serbia and Kievan Rus. It was the fact that Old Church Slavonic became the recognized language of the official Russian Church that influenced the fact that over time it replaced Old Russian. At the same time, it retained stable expressions and the folk tone of the speech of the Slavs.

Transformations of the Old Church Slavonic alphabet

Since the Russian alphabet was based on the Bulgarian Cyrillic alphabet, which spread after the Christianization of Rus', it initially had 43 letters.

Over time, 14 letters were deleted and 4 letters were added. This is due to the transformation of speech - sounds indicating unused letters have disappeared from it. First of all, the following were missing: iotized usas, large usas.

Under Patriarch His Holiness Nikon in the second half of the seventeenth century, a widespread census of books took place. This period is considered the time of reforms of Russian spelling. The serial numbers of the letters were recorded. But even at that time the alphabet was different from the modern one. Later, already under the reign of Peter I, superscript characters and some duplicate letters denoting numbers were excluded. At that time, Arabic numerals had already been introduced and the extra characters became irrelevant.

Back in 1917, the Russian alphabet had 35 letters. But as a result of the writing reform carried out in 1918, 33 letters remained in the Russian alphabet.

Structure of the Russian alphabet

Each word consists of minimal parts - sounds. They, like atoms in molecules, form the shell of a word. Each word and its form has a different sound design. What matters is the combination of letters in a word and the placement of stress.

In order to correctly distinguish the sound of a letter in a particular word, transcription is used. Transcription - generally accepted graphic view, displaying the sound of the word. Transcription shows:

Syllables in a word.
Which syllable is stressed in the word? Stress is indicated when a word consists of two or more syllables.
Softness of consonants.

The letters of the alphabet are divided into several groups. The largest division of sounds is into vowels and consonants.

There are only six letters that are stressed vowels. When pronounced, the sound does not encounter any obstacles when passing through the oral cavity. When playing sounds, the ligaments of the larynx work - if you put your hand to your throat, you can feel the movement of the ligaments. If a person can freely shout or sing a letter, most likely it is a vowel sound. It is vowels that are the basis of syllables. The stressed syllable sounds most distinctly in a word. Unstressed syllables may be pronounced differently. That is why when writing words it is necessary to select test words.

When pronouncing consonants, sounds encounter an obstacle in their path. It is the presence of noise that distinguishes consonants and vowels. It is difficult to pronounce words with many consonants. That is why there are no words consisting only of consonants.

Consonants are divided into voiced and voiceless. There are unpaired and paired sounds.

Learning the Russian language begins with the alphabet. Understanding basic phonics and grammar is a key part of children's learning. From infancy, instilling in your child a love of native language, a person pays tribute to history and traditions. Russian language is the richest language in the world. It is very important not to lose this wealth! Letters of the English alphabet can be downloaded.

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.
