On each card, in addition to a capital letter of the English alphabet, objects are drawn that begin with that letter. This way you can diversify your activities and make them more interesting. If you are learning English, I also advise you to read and download all the months in English, weather in English, seasons and days of the week.

When introducing cards, try to introduce no more than 2 cards per lesson in order to leave some ambiguity, thereby constantly maintaining the child’s interest.

The cards are intended for both individual use and group activities.

Capital letters of the English alphabet

It is impossible to imagine the alphabet of this language without capital letters. The capital alphabet is a comfortable and fast way of writing. In addition, capitalization does not imply complete copying of samples. You can create your own writing style, as long as the letters are legible.

Please note that previously the capital letter “A” was written in English in the same way as in Russian. Now the letter appears as a lowercase “a”, only in an increased size.

Calligraphy Considered a decorative style, it requires a lot of time, creativity and precision. It cannot be said that this cannot be learned when a person has bad handwriting. Anyone can master calligraphy. It will take time, but it will be beneficial.

Since calligraphy is becoming popular, they conduct convenient master classes and lessons on mastering it. You can learn without leaving home.

All you need is:

• paper;
• necessary supplies (pen, feather, ink);
• patience and desire.

Copybooks of the English alphabet

A few copybooks that you can download and print:

The first thing anyone who wants to master English needs to learn is, of course, the English alphabet. Let's talk about him. Since there is a lot of information, I divided it into sections.

Letters of the English alphabet.

The modern English alphabet has 26 letters (in English, letters are called letters or characters - chars for short). Each letter can be uppercase (uppercase / large) or lowercase (lowercase / small). Latin letters became the basis for the English alphabet.

The exact shape of printed letters depends on the font.

Inscription of letters of the English alphabet.

I highlighted the vowels in red and the consonants in blue.

The sound of the letters of the English alphabet differs in different versions. So the last letter Z in the English pronunciation sounds [zed] /, and in the American one it sounds [zi] /. The British pronounce “zed” because the letter is derived from the Greek letter “Zeta”, which passed into Old French as “zede”, from where it migrated into the English alphabet in the 15th century as “zed”.

Americans pronounce the letter “z” by analogy with the names of other letters: B, C, D, etc. The first American pronunciation of the letter “z” was recorded in Lye's New Spelling Book in 1677. This decision was long disputed, but was completely accepted in 1827 after Webster's publications.

Today, most of those who study the English alphabet also call this letter. Most likely, this trend is explained by the fact that in most songs about the alphabet it is sung, since it is easier to choose a rhyme for this pronunciation option.

• — Now I know my A-B-Cs

• — Next time won’t you sing with me?

But the British are not lagging behind, and today the ending of the song is also widespread

• - Sugar on your bread. Eat it all up before you are dead.

English humor, isn't it?

English alphabet capital letters.

Pay attention to the new trend of writing the capital letter A. Today it is customary to write it the same way as the small letter, although previously it was written similar to the Russian capital A. Here is a variant of the old spelling.

It is worth saying that among those studying the English alphabet in other countries, few people use capital letters. This trend is also emerging in countries where English is their native language. Look at the two handwritten texts. In the first version, ordinary letters are used for writing, connected in a letter in a way that is convenient for the writer. The second version uses capital letters of the English alphabet, of course, with handwriting features.

And this is what a calligraphically verified version of handwritten English looks like. The written English alphabet looks exquisite.

And this is what English doctors write. Reminds me of something, doesn’t it?

Vowels of the English alphabet.

There are 6 vowels in the English alphabet. Do not accept saying “vowel letters of the English alphabet”. A letter is an outline of a sound. A vowel or consonant, as well as voiced, hard, soft, hissing, etc., can only be sound. OK, let's move on to the letters of the English alphabet that convey the vowel sound. These are A, E, I, O, Y, U - a total of 6. Each letter can express several sounds.

• [ı:] – long and;
• [ı] – short and;
• [ɜ:] – wide e;
• [ıə] – ie;
• [α:] – long
• [e] - short E

• [əυ] – eu;
• [ɒ] – short o;
• - long y;
• [ʌ] – short a;
• [ᴐ:] – long o.

• – yu;
• [ʌ] – short a;
• [u] – short u.

This is how the vowels of the English alphabet are read. Let's move on to consonants.

Consonants of the English alphabet.

There are 20 consonants in the English alphabet.

	[s] / [c] before vowels i, e, y
	/ [j] before e, i, y
	[h] / [x] simple exhalation
	[ŋ] / [nasal / velar n] before g and sometimes before k
	/ [kv] combined qu
	[r] is a sound, something between r and a very hard Russian z; pronounced without vibration. Often not pronounced at all
	[z] / [з] at the end of a word after a vowel or voiced consonant, sometimes in the middle of a word between 2 vowels
	[w] - sound similar to [uv]
	/ [гз] before a stressed vowel [z] / [з] – sometimes at the beginning of a word

History of the English alphabet.

The evolution of the English alphabet is evident over the last 1500 years. Although the modern English alphabet contains 26 letters, there used to be more.

After the 6th century, when Christian monks began transliterating Anglo-Saxon using Latin characters, they encountered some difficulties. Anglo-Saxon contained several sounds that could not be written in Latin. Therefore, the monks borrowed three old runes: ð (interdental voiced з), þ (interdental voiceless s), and Ƿ (uinn, analogous to the modern W). The presence of these runes, ligatures (combinations of letters) æ and œ, as well as the absence of J and Y, is one of the characteristic features of the Anglo-Saxon alphabet. Look at the Beowulf manuscript.

Under the influence of the Norman script, the runic character of the English alphabet gradually faded away and the letters ð, þ and Ƿ soon disappeared. Instead of Ƿ, they began to use double V -> VV, which gradually became an independent letter W as a result of the use of printing presses.

How did Y and J join the English alphabet? Y and U are derived from V, as a result of the differentiation of consonants and vowels. J came from I.

With his characteristic ingenuity, Benjamin Franklin tried to improve the English alphabet. He suggested removing c, j, q, w, x, and y, since they could be replaced with other letters. He also suggested adding six letters of his own invention. But Franklin's alphabet did not catch on.

Today, the most common letters in the English alphabet are e, t, a, o. The rarest ones are x, q, z.

Here you can download and print English letters in cursive so that your child can learn to write them by tracing the letters on the dotted line. After your child learns the English alphabet in words (with the help of our cards), print out these letters and give them to fill out. Prepare a ballpoint pen that writes clearly enough, but does not smudge, so that the child learns to write accurately.

First, have your child begin tracing printed English cursive letters (capital letters first, then small letters). After this, you can move on to capital letters in the same order.

Printed English cursive letters - Capital and small

Download printed English letters in words (capital and small) in the attachments at the bottom of the page and you can start studying. Try to ensure that the child traces the letters carefully, without going beyond the dotted lines and without staining the paper. Gradually, this will develop in him the correct writing technique, which will be very useful to him at school. After all, now, as we know, teachers reduce grades for sloppy writing and blots. It is also very important to learn to write letters in the right direction (the direction of each letter is indicated on the first letter of each line). The dot that you see already in the dotted letter means the beginning of the letter (that is, it is from this point that you need to start writing the letter).

English letters in words - Capital and small

And now you can view and download small and capital English letters in cursive for classes on teaching children English writing. Everyone knows how important it is to be able to write correctly and accurately. And most importantly, you need to learn this as early as possible. After all, ugly handwriting is very difficult to correct later. In addition, sloppy writing can lead to systematically lower grades in school. And this will cause constant distress in the child, especially if all the tasks were completed correctly, and the grade was lowered only because of blots and unclear letters.

You can print out these copybooks as much as you like until your child learns to write letters clearly and beautifully, without going beyond the dotted lines. That is, if a child has circled all the capital letters, you need to print out these sheets again for him and give him to fill out in the next lesson.

Don't forget to ask your child to say out loud the letter he begins to write on each line.
